Monday's market.

Just a smattering of mackerel on the market this morning.........
though the beamer WSS landed 4 boxes of bass, not the norm for the beam trawl!........
still good quantities of cuttles on the ground.......
which need to be kept away from these high quality flats like brill and turbot - cuttle ink is not easy to wash off!........
"action", shooting HD video with Canon kit - more and more small film crews who visit the market use DSLRs to shoot video - hard to beat the quality of lens' available.........
even at 1000 litres a day fishing over a big tide the economy of these eurocutter beamers is hard to beat with their high revving main engine going through 12-1 reduction gearboxes - comparable beamers with much older slow revving engines can burn as much as 3000 litres a day - that's a lot more fish to catch just to pay the fuel bill.........
the future's still orange for Ocean Fish.......
flowers and fruit, a reminder should the importance of the date tomorrow have escaped attention.......
still very wintry skies in the mornings but compared to the rest of the UK, Cornwall must seem like the tropics.....
out in the Bay the Anglian Earl, now painted green, is at anchor.
