Scallops and pollacks - a couple of firsts for the year.

Beach greening.......

with cash-strapped local authorities these days it doesn't pay to get spotted by the incredibly zealous foot patrol........

man the pumps.........

with a fine forecast the St Adrianne takes ice.......

watched by a few hungry gulls.......

before heading down the harbour and off to sea, though the next few days will mean taking extra care when trawling as the biggest tide of the year approaches........

superb shot of monk from the flagship Cornishman.......

accompanied by a good shot of Dory from across the water.......

back on the lines, the Sea Spray gets her first shot of line caught pollack on the market, though pickings were a trifle slack........

three tubs apiece for the beamers, looks like supplies of black gold are fast coming to an end.......

Mr Tonkin and M Downing take stock of the latest trip from the Golden Harvest........

inside the meat wagon (spot the hooks in the roof of the trailer) hands reach out to grab the bags of new season scallops coming ashore.......

from the Philomena, one the TN Trawlers' fleet of big scallop boats.........

after landing those shiny pollack, its time for skipper Dave and new crew member to get scrubbed down.
