An overcast #FishyFriday in Newlyn and July is not quite flaming June yet!


A typical start to the day at the end of the first week in July sees the sun obscured by a veil of low could again...



not that the resident harbour seal, lurking just off the fish market in expectation of someone tossing him a fish is bothered...

one thing is for sure that it won't be a mackerel as they are in such short supply that they are making double-figures at auction...

paws make good money too...


while the number of bass on the market was marginally ;less than that of mackerel...


these guys are still crawling into pots along the shore...


apart from a netter, the Cornishman  was the only other big boat to land...


there's a small sewing job waiting to be done it seems...


the money bag end of the Acciona's seine net...


detail of the ground rope - much lighter than any of the inshore trawlers


and the wing end...

meanwhile, both beam trawls have been taken off the Enterprise...


 and been stripped...


leaving two piles of chain from the mats...


ever thought of taking. up gig rowing? - see Pendeen Gig Club for more info...


ICFA's handy tool to how to stay on the right side of the law...


700 hundred years old and not a stone out of place, if only those granite stones could talk...


Cilix, a classic varnished folk-boat...


there must be a hole in the cloud cover somewhere up there...
