No ifs and Butts, bass, bass and more big bass!
Sportin her new winch and net drum, the inshore trawler Imogen landed some cracking cod...
while the beam trawl fleet keep digging those megs from the sand...
the western end of the market was chocka with the biggest and best line caught bass...
with the Butts bagging some beauties in the 2-4 kilo range...
saving space at sea, the fast cat, Cyclone winged her ray this trip - this is the practice of trimming the wings of the ray from the body - the bodies are then used for crab pot bait...
the bass just get bigger and bigger!...
back in again, the ex-Newlyn beam trawler, Georges Johannes...
is being watched by Pooh Bear...
last section of the sidewinder Anthony is ready to be shipped away to make some sort of buidling it seems!...
Wherry Town Coop has been re-built including the garage forecourt...
you were warned!
