Newlyn is awash with #FishyFriday fish!

Despite the weather, Cornish sardines have continue to be landed every night this week...


methinks the catching days are over for these two pots...


it's a little early in the year for John Dory...


those are fine meaty ray wings...


a trio of brill from Lady Lynne...


pouts and scallops...


one big conger...


there were plenty of hake from the three netters to land, the Stelissa was one boat...


the local name for smoothounds...


Britannia V was another netter to land hake...


and some cracking haddock...


at the moemnt the boats can land their bass by-catch


the tub gurnard in ice...


there were precious few monk tails up for auction this morning...


but there were sevral mighty bass...


and a brace of Dovers...


and a few black bream...


Tom lands his smoothounds too...


the netters pick up a few spiders while working well south of Newlyn...


big plaice from the inshore trawler...


and plenty more wings...


'silver darlings' do get landed sometimes...


along with the much more common mackerel...


early signs of the spawning season from the Annie May...


roe taken from the pollack they caught...


name that fish that owns this tail...


times they are a-changing....


all will be good when the small fish and mackerel grader arrives and is up and running...


the lucrative cuttle...


landed by the ton...


at the end of every netting trip any damaged tiers of nets are taken off for repair...


these days all the larger boats box their fish at sea...


a busy end to the week as the sun comes up...



there's plenty to keep the netters busy...


heading back to Mallaig, RNLI lifeboat 17-33 waiting to take fuel...


the recent storms have revealed even more of the old causeway that linked Wherry Town  and Newlyn...


as work begins to install the next batch...


of concrete blocks...


on the beach in front of Newlyn Green.
