Milder Monday morning in Newlyn.


Despite the ultra-cool blue skies things have warmed up a little in Newlyn this morning and, although there was only the one big boat trip landed, there were plenty of inshore fish to keep the buyers' fingers busy on their keyboards bidding online when the auction started at 6am...



name the fish...



with the lack of wind and the water like gin, bass landings continue apace...



the Cornishman picked up a few red mullet to add the her trip...



and the crew took the trouble to take out the livers on the bigger fish too...



the fine weather over the weekend giving rise to three good shots from the inshore trawlers...



though young Roger's Dory count on the Martha Mae was on par for this time of year...



while Tom had good pickings of ray with the Guardian...



and this fine looking conger...



head-on monk of all sizes from skipper Jimmy...



to go with the rest of the prime flatfish that beam trawlers do best at catching...



still more inshore bass...



and some specimen red mullet...



along with plentiful supplies of seasonal sardines...



and mackerel...




these boxes tell a story, it seems the times they are a-changing...


as the sun fights its way through a clouded sky.
