Layla May heads back after a morning on the mackerel...
as does young Neil with his punt Treen, though the fishing doesn't look to cracky this morning...
more bad news on the market as hundreds of kilos of dogfish remain unsold, a relatively rare event on the market in Newlyn, tough indicative of the issues there are with finding a market for dogs - something the guys were telling of for years when they were made to dump every dog they caught - it is not a fish they want to catch in the first place, they damage the gear and the market fr them has all but disappeared these days...
luckily the market for hake remains relatively strong...
and definitely so for fish like tub gurnard
monk livers...
haddock...
grey mullet...
John Dory...
monk tails...
big plaice, though they are few and far between at this time of year...
monk do come bigger than this but not often!..
Neil with his 11 mackerel, half a dozen came up with the first drop so the morning was looking promising, two hours and five fish later it was time to knock it on the head and head back for the gaps to land a very poor day's work...
the cuttles are on the move it would seem...
seems the sardine season is not quite over yet...
young Danny can't get enough...
yet another end-to-end...
fish auction this morning...
the harbour now filling up with boats over the big tide...
composing the shot, the harbour provides creative minds with any number of opportunities to capture the scene.
just some of the action in Newlyn over the last few days.
