Sunny Sunday, misty Monday.


A gorgeous Sunday evening and the fleet head for the fish market to land...



then into Monday when the low cloud has lifted enough to see the far side of the harbour and the south pier...



there's even a fog in the fish market...



each netter landed a few of these this tide...



and a few of these,...


seen here is the Cornish version...



along with some good shots of hake from the Silver Dawn...



Britannia V...



and Ygraine



there's no escaping these guys it seems however hard the netters try...



some big flats from the beamer...



and JDs...



plenty of lemons...



and Dovers...



and a few good sized black bream



a big 200kg bluefin...




even though they seem to be yellow...


the one boat hit hardest by the pollack ban ironically now catches them as a part of a research project to see if stocks are viable...



plenty of these beauties coming ashore this weekend...



while mackerel came from St Ives...



and bass courtesy of young Cod from Mounts Bay...



in the shallow waters of the harbour there are shoals of small fish everywhere...



its more like aq lorry park down the quay as fuel tankers and transport wait to pick up shellfish and fish.



the number of visiting yachts is slowing down...



Ocean Pride up on the slip in low cloud...



the Channel Islands based, FTV Explorer is currently contrcated to deploy seabed cameras and sampling gear off lands End on behalf of Exeter University's marine department.



a few hours after high water and both these boats are aground - at the end of the Mary Williams pier.
