First 2022 September #FishyFriday fish for Newlyn.


Not a bad start to the day looking across the bay to St Michaels Mount...


even the local gull population are taking time out to enjoy the scene...


meanwhile, Lionel proving yet again that there is nothing a little gaff tape can't fix...


a trio of big brill...


and a tub gurnard from the beam trawler Billy Rpwney...


blonde ray wings from the Padstow registered Golden Lancer...


more big flats ...


megrim...


and a few conger from the Rowney...


 head-n monk...


and a big trip of hake came courtesy of the visiting seiner Acionna...


line caught bass, with tags to prove their provenance...


were landed largely thanks to Cap'n Cod...


a handful of grey mullet...


and some cracking red mullet topped off the inshore fish...


were all happily picked up by the buyers that morning...


the sardines boats had been busy the previous evening...


spot the difference - if you look closely you can see evidence that the shoals they fish are made up of two slightly differing species of sardina pilchardus.
