Monday's morning market in Newlyn, boats head out to sea.


Newlyn Harbour Christmas lights up and running...


as dawn breaks over the harbour, Nazarene heading for the gaps to check on her pots after the latest storm...


the weekend saw several hake netters land good shots of hake...


and reports that, no matter where the boats fish, spurdogs are everywhere - and, as a result of a ban on landing dogs for over 20 years, most of the existing markets that could have catered for big landings, have dried up, hence today they make as much money as they did back in the late1990s...


fine undulate ray from the big beamer...


more hake from the Stelissa...



and the Britannia V...


other quality fish included black bream...

lemons and turbot...


and some superb tub gurnard...


monk heads going for bait...


while there are still signs of squid being landed...


along with good plaice...


and even bigger squid...


while only a handful of mackerel were landed from a few hardy soles who face challenging conditions over the weekend...


with the weather abating, the fleet should sail today...


having made landings to the market and waiting vivier lorries...


first away this morning is the Silver Dawn...


closely followed by the Stelissa.
