Hard life

This shot was taken aboard a Brixham beam trawler around 1986 at the end of a trip - looks like it was a hard one!

Well done guys! - Through the Gaps hits 500 readers!
Onwards and upwards! - after 2,795 posts the number of 'Through the Gaps' fishy followers broke though the 500 barrier yesterday as the blog continues its inexorable rise in reader numbers - excellent news for all those boats who land their fish on the market at Newlyn - a sure sign that more and more buyers, merchants, chefs and fishmongers are turning their attention via the blog to source information and news of the quality fish sold at auction on Newlyn fish market. Live updates to both Twitter and Facebook pages are posted from the blog automatically.
Here's an example below from top London wet fish shop, the Chelsea Fishmonger's Twitter page showing the reaction from customers now that the Ajax has her own web site to add to the interest! Never mind action from the Trawlermen north of the border, there's plenty to follow down this end of the country!
@AjaxAH32 customers are now asking for hake caught on your boat. You must be doing something right!

Fishy Friday here again
While the Cornish Sardine season draws to a close it's time for some some work aboard the White Heather........
cod are never going to win the Miss Marine World.......
in the red and in the black.......
they always look such happy beasts do the red gurnard.......
the cuttles are still thick on the ground for the beam trawlers.......
signs of the scallop season emerge, freshly painted Golden Promise all set for the summer......
with a tidy set of seven dredges a side.....
the rope in the net hauler shows how the middle roller provides the tension against the other two rollers when hauling.......
rings of the ring net.......
knockdown outside the Mission.
