Back to business - plenty of fish on Newlyn this morning.


Five beam trawlers landed for this morning's post-Easter market...



with whiting among the fish up for auction...



though it's Dover soles that make the big money for the boats...



and there's plenty of them, megrim and monk tails...



just the one 'S'-bend conger...



and cracking codling...



and terrific turbot...



and a handful of titanic tub gurnard...



or what about a mackerel or two...



to go with your Ajax hake...



which the buyers paid top money for this morning...



three tiers of white fish and hake made up...



a big trip from the Greek hero's trip... 



there were a few big ray in amongst the beam trawler's fish too...



out in the harbour the odd heavy shower passed over away to the south...



though not before the harbour received its fair share...



a bevvy of beamers, the collective noun for such boats...



visiting Brixham beamer Katie Marie...



won't be long before she is looking ship-shape...



check out the latest show, Works on Paper from Ledgerwood-Walker...



heavy-goods fish transport ready for the off...



catch some contemporary sounds at the Swordfish next month...




for the more hardy it won't be long before the Jubilee Pool is back in action...



the moon high in the sky over the west of west Penwith...



as the ex-landing craft Terramare makes way...



 for the coaster Evora...



with a little help from the Danmark...



she makes her way out of the wet dock...



drops off another crewman...



and waits for Ross Bridge to swing open...



before passing through and being swung round on a bow rope...



before entering the dry dock.
