Margaret makes a habit of a Monday morning.
Three beam trawlers...
including the latest to join the fleet, the Margaret of Ladram landed fish over the weekend...
and the Twilight which, for a beam trawler, put ashore a big shot of John Dory, a fish not normally caught in such quantities by a boat using a trawl that only has the headrope a few feet from the sea bed...
long ling...
and there are plenty of bass to be had this morning...
as well as a good run of gurnards...
and even a big tub...
gilt nose bream...
over two hundred boxes of hake from the netters like the Ajax...
a smattering of mackerel from the handliners...
the odd red fish...
and a p;air of bull huss...
along with some late morning landings of sardines...
ready to be shipped away instantly...
the Margaret at rest.
