Some boats are now finished for the year

On the market, the cuttles are still leaving their mark.....
a glimpse of an age-old ceremony caught on film for the first time - Ian and Ryan in the traditional, 'handing over the book' move....
crab fishermen aboard the Dom Bosco are literally scraping the barrel for bait these days, just about anything will do it seems.......
not often seen these days, an 18 box shot of line-caught conger.....ugly they may be but they make great fish cakes....
headline damage - always able to come up with a shot for the blog, Colin from the Valhalla is discussing his latest foray into the unknown with Steven Nowell from the Nellie, strangley it was the last haul.......
a stack of Cornish Sardines from the Lyonesses waits under the morning moonlight for FalFish.....
hoping for a quick turnaround before setting off on their final trips - there will be, for the first time in months, a market this Saturday morning.....

at the end of the quay the Nowell fleet wait to shift round to Penzance dock for the Christmas break. A few of the netters have gone to shoot over the back of the big tide just to catch the final market of 2008 planned for next Monday.
