Fine mornings in December are something to be cherished...
and with half the fish landed on the market being bass, for some, there was much to smile about...
though mackerel are still proving somewhat elusive...
every bluefin tuna caught by the South West Handline Association boats gets an individual ID tag to add provenance...
before being aded carefully on to the waiting transport...
a handful of inshore trawlers like the Guardian landed a mix of quality fish like monk...
John Dory...
red mullet...
and turbot...
and it's not only Red Bull that gives you wings...
which fish?..
the Karen N gets to see the sunrise...
as does the Crystal Sea...
while the Hosking feet of netters, Stelissa and Silver dawn are all decked out for the Xmas break having fished their last tide before the market closes for the year...
and gone to town on their fancy festive festoonery!..
back in Penzance, the town hall is about to get a makeover.
