Monday morning in Newlyn - but who stole the sun?!

Cloudy sea, cloudy sky...



after a long night chasing fish, Danny brings the Golden Harvest in...


just a few hundred kilos of sardines...


inside the market there are plenty of fish species to choose from on this morning's auction, John Dory...


and red mullet are just a few of the very best in inshore fish...


catches of ray...


are still strong...


while the hake boats camew back awith reasonable trips of big white fish from the far west like these hake...


and pollack...


also landing line caught pollack, the Maverick...


adding to the best in fish, monk cheeks...


seriously fresh blood-red gurnard...


more red mullet...


and still the Mediterranean octopus find a way in to the pots...


the bass boys have been busy...


as have the cray net boats...


just in to land is the Rachel of Ladram...


skipper Ed, supervising proceedings fro atop the shelterdeck...


as the boys swing their 220 boxes of hake ashore - for the past few months the hake netters working well west of the Scillys have seen a dozen or so Spanish long liners also fishing for hake...


the ever-smiling Jimbo, happy with life aboard the Annie May...


the long and the short of it...


and still they come.
