#eatmorefish !
Phil Lockley shot this short footage to show how monofilament nets look underwater - as you can see it doesn't look much, which is how the fish don't get to see it either! These are very similar to the nest used by netter like the Ajax fishing for hake and white fish.
Just the same as these sole nets, on nets rigged to fish for hake the footrope has lead embedded in the lay of the net, while the head rope, in addition, has small floats at regular intervals. Either end of the net (between 5 and 20,000 feet long) is held on the sea bed with steel anchors weighing around 130lbs.
#fishyFriday is here again! #eatmorefish !
Despite the inclement weather, three of the port's bigger boats toughed out the week to make good landings this morning...
stacked three or four high, boxes of...
monk...
more monk...
and more monk...
and even more monk...
Dover soles...
and more megs filled the floor along with...
some flying bass...
glowing tub gurnards...
enough to keep Ian busy shifting boxes...
with a full moon in the sky the net boats have finished their landings for the this tide...
some sort of sign from the cuttlefish artist...
a cross to bear...
the beast that is the Sapphire III...
and a visiting cat typical of the kind used to service wind-farms from Maritimecraft.

Wednesday's market is full of fish
The Arrivals Board shows there were three beamers and an inshore trawler with fish on the market this morning, for some reason, the net boats seldom if ever get recorded on the board...
conjuring up some cracking monk tails...
cod keeping an eye on the auction in progress...
Don's biggest bass for a while on the Filadelfia...
there are still some squid to be had by the inshore men,,,
and they don't get more spotty than these cracking examples of the species...
back in the black beasts after the xmas break, though the catches ae a shadow of what they were two winter's ago...

Applications are invited for new trials of catch quota schemes in the Western Waters run by Marine Management Organisation (MMO) in 2014.
Applications are invited for new trials of catch quota schemes in the North Sea and Western Waters run by Marine Management Organisation (MMO) in 2014.
The schemes follow on from those run in England since 2010 and 2011 and will investigate and provide further evidence that will inform policy and implementation of the landing obligation to be phased in from 2015 under a reformed Common Fisheries Policy.
A priority for 2014 trials will be to document and monitor total catches across a range of species likely to be subject to a landing obligation in 2016. Catch quotas have demonstrated their effectiveness at reducing discards and encouraging more selective fishing behaviour. However, more needs to be done to better understand the implications of mixed species fisheries, particularly where one or more species appears to act as a 'choke', potentially calling an early halt to a fishery through quota exhaustion before the target species quota has been caught.
Successful vessels will be allocated additional quota for the relevant species subject to the outcome of negotiations at December Council and between the EU and Norway. An exemption from effort or additional kilowatt days will also be considered for applicants operating in the North Sea.
Remote electronic monitoring (REM) equipment, including CCTV, will be used to monitor fishing operations and audit catch documentation. Vessels may occasionally be required to carry MMO observers.
Vessel owners who expect to fish in the North Sea or Western Waters from 1 January to 31 December 2014 can apply. Only English-registered vessels that are members of a producer organisation are eligible.
Applicants are invited to bid for additional quota for the stocks they are interested in. Detailed information on the stocks that may be available is contained in the application pack, which contains details of the project, contract and terms and conditions. Available stocks will be subject to the outcome of December Council but applications may be withdrawn if terms are not agreeable.
The project is expected to start in early February 2014 and will end on 31 December 2014.
To apply vessel owners should read the schemes' terms and conditions and duty of care code (PDF 71 KB) complete an application form that is part of each application pack.
North Sea application information pack (PDF 206 KB) Western Waters application information pack (PDF 168 KB) Alternatively, an application form or pack is available:

Applicants will be informed of the results of their application as soon as possible.
