Gone fishing, good fishing.
The grader glistens after a hard night's work...
sorting some good trips of big white fish from the netters Ajax...
who because of the increased mesh size they use these days are now very selective retaining only the bigger fish each trip for quota species like these pollack...
while the inshore netter new Harmony put ashore a cracking trip if monk tails and other prime white fish...
both these fish like to swim in shoals, both have good appetites, both have big flaky white flesh wehn cooked...
but which fish are they?...
not blackjacks (coley) that's for sure...
the unmistakable green glisten of a cod's tail over seen by Ian the auctioneer...
that's Newlyn Fish concentrating hard on the price to pay as hake makes good money this morning
the Rowse crabber Emma-Louise can always be tracked at sea on the AIS map...
makes a good landing of crab this morning...
here's hoping the sun will pervade over the cloud today.
