Plenty of mackerel, pollack, hake, turbot, Dover and megrim sole on Newlyn market this morning.
Plenty of boats and plenty of fosh this morning after the Bank Holiday weekend...
boxes filled the market...
with top quality flatfish like these megrim...
Dover soles...
and brill...
a smattering of conger...
and Paul just had to go and check out the langoustine situation west of the Scillys...
late landing for the Myghal boys...
cracking red mullet...
and the best line-caught pollack on the market this morning from Mr Smith's Sea Spray...
eyes down...
for the net fish...
and the almost prehistoric-looking thornback ray...
mighty-mouthed turbot...
get taken away post-haste...
the trammel nets of the Karen of Ladram picked up a few lobsters...
and craws...
working deck of the Trevessa...
and the Myghal...
early season scalloper visitors from Wales...
and Brixham...
and another very deep-drafted Scottish prawn trawler, Jacqueline Anne...
Blue Thunder heads off to the Scillys to locate the ASV Thomas...
bow on to the Jacqueline Anne...
as the weather warms the number of yachts increases dramatically, many from France...
practical rather than aesthetic sterns are the order of the day on these trawlers...
busy day on the gear on the prawner Bracoden...
tidy way of keeping a rib on board...
a working scalloper's deck....
a Celtic cousin in town...
open at last, the Jubilee Pool...
and the first visit to the dry dock for the new IoS supply vessel, Mali Rose.
