Pitch black and, with a welding job to do, Cod has brought the Rachel & Paul up under the harbour offices at high water to go aground, though there is still a heavy run which means he needs to stay aboard until she has grounded fully...
two big netter trips mean the boxes are stacked and ready to go...
with tons of hake from the Silver Dawn...
and Ajax...
all of which are swiftly taken away by young Magic with a spring in his step...
along with ray...
the beam trawler St Georges provided the usual selection of quality flats like this turbot...
and what looks like a few tubs of cuttles...
sometimes all you need is a hug...
no matter how hard they try the netters cannot avoid...
catching spurdogs, perfectly justifying the quota given them a few years back after many years of lobbying...
a fine set of paws will no doubt grace someone's fine dining plate or two this evening...
solid silver scad...
and pollack...
at just over 100kg the week ends with another big bluefin on the market...
from the Golden Harvest...
more top quality frosh from the Lizard...
and a few decent sized mackerel too...
lovely ling...
and line caught bass...
a tub of cuttles from a crabber, not much compensation for the lobsters they no doubt eat......
red mullet,,,
and red gurnard don't get much better than these..
along with a few cheeky monk cheeks...
'tiz still dark as a cow's guts outside...
as the Britannia V arrives to land...
looks like the Swordfish is gearing up for a Spooky weekend...
as Cod finds himself still stuck aboard the rolling punt waiting for her to go aground completely...
looks like the time has arrived to hop off...
and leave the port with the largest landings in England to get on with the weekend.
