Looks like Barry has some work to do on his punt, Boy Brax when the tide drops...

as dawn breaks over the harbour...

sardines come ashore...

from the Serene Dawn and skipper David Pascoe and finish off the trip they started at 4am this morning despite the heavy swell running in the bay... 

almost all the fish on the market this morning was from sardine boats and the beam trawler, Enterprise...

and a single line-caught bluefin weighing in at 160kg...

from the line boat, Sea Breeze...

last week the bluefin were seen to be chasing garfish, giving the local mackerel shoals a break...

last of the boats to land on the market this week...

as the KatyB heads away from the gaps...

that's three boat in the laid-up tier now...

as the Trevessa V takes ice...

the youngest skipper in the fleet, Tom Pascoe brings in the sardine boat Charlotte Clare...

ahead of the Mayflower...

and the Vesta...

all three returning to port without a single fish being brought aboard.
