Wet and windy weekend sees some welcome Monday morning sunshine.

Busy weekend and a busy working deck on the new Admiraal Gordon...

every generation of fishing boat increases in beam and draught and overall tonnage over pervious vessels of similar length, two of these sub-20m boats draw as much as the port's biggest 40m beamer......

big tides add extra strain on gear and the chances of things going wrong for boats working bottom gear...

as Jeremy in the Danmark heads out to meet another beam trawler with gear issues...

Monday morning sees a bright start to the day, just as well as looking at the forecast we've ten days of rain ahead...

first time landing from the Crystal Sea on the market this morning...

plenty of whiting...

and haddock for the buyers...

to go with the monk...

lemons...

and Dovers from the Enterprise...

tails from the netter Ocean Pride...

and plenty of inshore fish from the trawl fleet...

like these ray...

meanwhile, the last of the netters to land hake for the tide included the Britannia V...

Silver Dawn...

and Ocean Pride...

plenty of good looking reds from the big boat...

some proper git ling...

and a few early season turbot...

not many of these fine fish found their way ashore as the weather kept all but a few of the punts tied up...

more mixed fish...

from the bigger boats...

with some cracking haddock from the Ocean Pride...

and big whiting...

a feast of fine fish...

slowly, slowly does it Jeremy...

short end at the ready...

as the heaving line thrower does his own version of he Indian rope trick, it's in safe hands with the catcher, despite the hobbling...

a good night's work from a sardine boat...

there may be the odd shower today...

haul-away...

you've been told...

another day on the gear for Nick and his crew, end of season gear time...

not the sleekest of lines on these new breeds of cats...

the netting feet has been going green and recycling gear from day one...

no room at the Inn over this big tide...

big enough to allow the biggest boat able to go up on the slip to take advantage...

the rear end is not much better...

prettier lines there are a-plenty...

you're never not far from a pint in Newlyn, the Fishermen's Arms does fine food too!
