High water - and after shooting the net as close to the beach as possible the boat heads back along then length of the net to help scare the fish into its path...
then it's time to pick up the first end shot...
and within seconds the first fish comes aboard...
then things slacken off as the end of the net is in sight...
bass from the punts working around the Runnelstone Buoy are already on the Monday morning market floor...
and the fridge is chocker with mackerel for a change...
there are good signs that the September squid are putting in an appearance...
the results of last night's work for the Lyonesse, several hundred stone of grey mullet...
almost a flat calm gives a cracking start to Autumn in West Cornwall...
solar power St Ives style...
another shot for the bass boys...
but it's slim picking this time round...
so it's time to head off to try elsewhere along the coast before the tide ebbs away...
the beach at Newlyn Green, 7am - and good to see the far west of Cornwall still enjoys an atmosphere of peace and love.
