Chaos - it's Monday and Newlyn is end-to-end with fish!
Peter's drafted in new help and he'll be busy box-washing all day looking at the market this morning! ..the Berlewen from Padstow gets her boxes washed and back aboard the boat pronto!
tagged pole-caught tuna from the Charisma... .. unusually for a netter, a few crayfish...Although only two beamers landed, the market was wall-to-wall fish this morning.... with several big gillnetter trips from the Berlewen, Ocean Spray and Carol H dominating the western end of the market. Pole-caught Charisma's tuna trip looked lost amongst the hundreds of netter boxes. Unusually, the Carol H landed a dozen boxes of spur-dogs.
Anyone who tasted the tuna from the Nova Spero was in for a treat! Boxes go back aboardthe Carol H for a back-to-back trip.
This is a Great Blog. Whatever happened to the William Samson featured on the "Skipper" programme that was on tv all those years ago. It is such a shame to see those beamers go for scrap, is there no market for such beautiful vessels. I have an old Scottish seiner , she can be seen on my " blogspot strathspey II"

Sadly, they are all heading for razor blades!
