Final #FishyFriday in February

Dull but dry start to the day in Newlyn...


at the end of a week that saw another heavy week of fish landed with many of the netters making several big landings each for the tide...


mostly of hake...


but there were also plenty of dogs...


and other whitefish like these cracking haddockfrom the Ajax..


and Silver Dawn...


even the beam trawler, Cornishman picked up plenty of haddock...


work will soon start on restoring the Old harbour to its former glory when it will become a heritage centre for Cornish luggers and other traditional fishing crafts like withy pot making...


Serene Dawn heads in the through the gaps...


the weather combined with a big tide which created a heavy swell was poor enough to see the Crystal Sea back in port


looks like Richard has his work sorted for the day doing all those necessary below the waterline jobs that keep a boat afloat, like renewing anodes and antifouling the hull.
