A black Monday morning market in Newlyn.



It's a dark start for Jeremy and the Nazarene this Monday morning, with plenty of ground sea and a fresh breeze to greet him once he clears the gaps...

with a relatively fine weekend there was a good mix of fish including these decent sized monk tails...


but the John Dory king found his favourite fish hard to come by, no sun, no Dory it seems...


though he did manage a good sot of brill and other flats...


plaice came courtesy of the Cornishman...


while Mr Curtis obliged with some excellent turbot...


plenty of monk from the beamer but very much scampi sized...


the inshore guys are getting good hauls of mackerel, not all as good a run as these though...


more quality fish like these black bream...

and jigged squid...


were all dwarfed by not one small bluefin...


but two huge fish from the Ellie V...


and two more from the Prospector...


line caught bass...


and squid...


yet another Mediterranean octopus...


and unmarked squid...


togtehr with these fine weavers...


and big turbot...


topped off with plenty of ray wings.
