Last week of fish landings in August kick off with blue-fin tuna - and plenty of sardines!


A reminder just how geographically divers fishing is in this corner of the Atlantic Ocean...



mid-way through setting the fishing line to the bobbins on a beam trawl...



a mix of passing leisure craft in Newlyn...



Emma Louise bound away, quite possibly captured by a local photographer on the North Pier...



there's something missing here...



that must have taken an entire bottle of gas to cut out...



around midnight Bank Holiday Monday and, with the sardine boats are making the most of the weather it's all smiles aboard...



 the Pelagic Marksman as the boys land another good shot of Cornish sardines...



meanwhile, inside the market landings from inshore trawlers like the Guardian...



and the seine netter, Acciona will keep the buyers busy at the online auction in the morning...



craws and paws...



and some small shots of summer's star fish, John Dory...



which have been a bit thin on the ground this year...



three cracking blue-fin tuna arrived at the market in the middle of the night, no doubt they will be a feature on the menus of some of Cornwall's finest fish restaurants later in the day...



that man Cod has been busy with the lines chasing bass again.
