Spiders on the move


Not quite low water and the deep-drafted crabber Emma Louise is aground...


filing for a Channel 4 documentary about new recruits to the fishing industry aboard the Govenek of Ladram has come to an end which means hundreds of feet of cable...


dozens of boxes...


flight cases...


and waterproof Pelican cases enough to fill two vans...


inshore and offhshore - the Penlee dream team...


two punts one fisherman, name that face...


studying Barry as he expertly...


removes the spiders from the nets, a painstaking process and easier done in the harbour...


when the spiders that survive can go in a store-bag...


the netter Trevose looks good in the morning light...


while there is only one of the Scottish prawn boats in at the moment between trips...


retired fisherman Brian has trouble with one of the cormorants come to investigate his bass rig while fishing off the pontoons...


as yet another of the fleet head out @throughthegaps...


big boats need big gear...



just a few words from Mission superintendent keith Dixon on the closure of the Mission building as we know it.
