Fine rain, better known as 'mizzle' in Newlyn this #FishyFriday morning.

 Almost invisible, mizzle seems to get you soaked through in just a few minutes...

so Jeremy and crew will be wearing their oilskins on deck today...

ever-hungry worms means another one bites the dust...

these guys have the jaws to back up the hunger too, bbq favourite blue...

plenty of quality brill from the Cornishman...

along with plenty other species...

good shots of ray...

and turbot came from some of the smaller netters...

while the Ygraine...

put ashore a cracking shot of hake...

other top drawer fish like these red mullet...

monk...

and Dovers all came courtesy of the Cornishman...

landings of mackerel are now so small they are lined up like soldiers...

as can be seen from the empty local landings board...

the eight-leggers are still very much in evidence...

slim pickings for the resident gull population...

meanwhile, the North pier remains closed to traffic while some resurfacing work is carried out.

Another humid sunless day in prospect for Newlyn...

and with flaming June heading for a close the quality fish keep coming courtesy of boats like the Silver Dawn landing top quality turbot...

alnogside witches from the beam trawler Enterprise...

ray from the Semper Fidelis...

and as is often the case, just a single cod from a net trip...

while landings of spurdog vary from trip to trip as these fish are fast moves and can turn up anywhere and everywhere and frequently do...

making up a big part of every beam trawl trip at this time of year, megrim soles...

and monk tails of course...

some fine thornback ray which make delicious eating...

and we are yet to see the back of these suckers it seems...

at themoment, handliners are catching more bass than mackerel, tough not in any great quantity...

RFDs, is this the solution to tracking, tracing and retaining fish boxes?..

insulated tubs go aboard the netter Annie May...

she is looking good, a classic Salcombe crabber...

more signs the sardine season is about to start...

one big Breton visitor slow off the mark this morning...

the orange team are nearly ready to go!

 

Keeping a beady eye.

Sparkling Star arrives at the fish market to land...

while this guy keeps a beady eye on proceedings from sea level...

possible signs of glit in the water, normally a good indication that the sardines are about to show up...

it's good to see Lionel stepping out in his new workwear this morning on his first shift after several months off work following major heart surgery...

just in time to see some heavy groundwork machinery delivered...

this morning - the North Pier will be shut to all vehicles during the course of a major upgrade - full details here...

first of the visiting yachts bound away...

as the tide swirls around the gaps Trevessa IV busy with gear on the Stone quay...

more painting to be done on the Stelissa...

Monday's morning market means monk a-plenty...

along with hake from the Ygraine

Sparkling Star...

and Britannia V...

along with shots of turbot...

and signs that landings of Mediterranean octopus are still a feature...

whole monk can only mean one thing, there's a Scotsman in town...

the market is never short of ray wings...

and this morning there were good supplies of whiting and other whitefish...

out in the bay, th Trinity House vessel Galatea lays at anchor...

as all hands muster on deck to set the sails on the Spirit of Falmouth.
