First fish for 2023 in Newlyn


Just a few more days left to enjoy both Newlyn and Mousehole Harbour lights...


with a cheery thought that every morning sees the sun coming up just that little bit earlier every day...

fine weather over the weekend saw a few of the inshore boats, like the Guardian, get to sea to provide the market with the first supplies of fresh fish...



like ray wings...

with a few boxes or even just kilos of each species like these big place...


and red mullet for many fish, prices were high...


the handliners had several days of good fishing for mackerel...


and inshore cod...


while the inshore trawlers saw to it that the crab fleet have some fresh bait to start their new year with...


and there were plenty of these guys to show for their efforts too...



young Gary on the Bethshan having a better day than many...



but he wasn't the only one to pick up good landings of bass...



others concentrated on the mackerel...



or even a few silver darlings...



with some of the mackerel being a half decent run...



more than enough to keep buyers busy.
