Monday morning and there's a mermaid in Newlyn.

The Mermaid is waiting for the tide to drop...


despite the weather there was plenty of net fish on the market this morning with hake...


pollack...


and dogs...


top quality inshore red gurnard...


and monk...


with more to follow tomorrow...


the Silver Dawn also put ashore some cracking tub gurnard...


while the inshore trawler Millennia found a few good ray...


and plaice...


the port's big boat landed a full trip that included lemons...


monk and other quality flats...


while a few hardy inshore boats came back with the best fish like these bass...


eight-leggers


and grey mullet...


the sardine boat Lyonesse doing its community service...


along with some inshore jigged squid all designed to keep those top end restauranteurs happy...


this morning's big fish prize went to the sardine boat Serene Dawn...


after landing this 130kg blue fin...


part of the Enterprise's trip was made up with a few tins of cuttles...


we know who bought it but which fish is it?..


keeping a beady eye...


gone are the days of red anti-fouling it seems...


the big tides are the reason most of these guys are still in port...


on a fine looking morning...


it takes two to tango and fill the Enterprise thirsty tanks...


all set of another week on the crab.
