Hake, John Dory, cod and mackerel, just some of the fish up for auction at Newlyn this morning
Trick of the light, on the prom...
one of Phil's hake was the star turn on Simon Mayo's Foodie Thursday show on Radio2 last week...
JDs from the JR...
and a stack of red gurnards too...
red gills - the brighter the red the fresher the fish...
early Autumn mackerel make good money if you can catch them...
and here's where they end up...
off for another day on the pots, Girl Pamela leaves the quay...
once the bait is aboard the big red crabber from the Isle of Man will set sail...
the full moon provides some additional light in the harbour before sunrise...
the directory enquiries of St Ives ready for the off...
ex fishing boat MFV 74 with her numbers red lined out - on the National Historic Ships register...
rigging from the Joanna Lucretia set against the morning sky...
the netters, Sparkling Line and Govenek of Ladram wait for this month's big tide to pass before sailing again...
if you want to see Newlyn Harbours Lights turned on for Christmas this year why not form a team (of 4) and enjoy some of the piscatorial ambiance and a few beers to be found in one of Newlyn's best known fishing pubs?
