Tiz a foggy #FishyFriday
Just the two beam trawlers this morning...
which means the market is well supplied with bottom dwelling fish like these rays...
monk fish...
ling...
Dover sole...
and the lesser spotted plaice...
a handful of octopus...
while the netter, Joy of Ladram bulked some big pollack...
and hake along with a few...
pouts which, like many fish at this time of year are ready to spawn...
auctioneer Ryan was giving the mic the benefit of his view on the state of the nation...
which, unlike the this fish box is definitely not in the black...
the sepia ink of which seems to get everywhere when the cuttles...
are landed on the market...
in bulk..
by the beam trawlers...
along with a few red mullet...
while the handline boys have enjoyed more settled weather and picked away a few good mackerel...
fueled up and ready to go, the Three Jays is all set for another day at sea...
dreaming of fish like this...
spot the interloper in these mackerel...
a must attend meeting with IFCA for all inshore men and anyone else who wants to stay in the know.
