Bait boxes provide breakfast.


Big main engines need big liners........
and twin rigging means twice as much gear to get on the quay to overhaul and repair....... 
dozens of boxes of not so frozen bait attract a horde of hungry gulls......
so its better to have the frozen fish aboard the crabber.......
a big Dover sole from one of the three big beam trawl trips that were landed on the market this morning undergoes minor surgery for removal of its otolith - for research purposes, the length and weight of individual fish are sampled and the otolith used to give age and growth pattern data.
