Big boats, big gear, big fishing...
plus the biggest crabbers working in the area...
off with the trawls, on with the dredges, its scallop season for some...
let the sparks fly...
the newest Twilight undergoing preparations for sea and a new career with the firm...
fine weather craft...
not so fine weather, taking all precautions when you fish places like the Porcupine Bank to the west of Ireland where the rogue waves are bigger then anything yuou see in the North ea...
but right now it's time to get the week's catch ashore...
heading for a berth...
Intuition on the slip...
just a few in port this evening...
including the Vision V...
homeward bound...
the Guardian at the end of a day's work...
adds her fish to an already busy market...
fish stacked to the doors...
just as well there are a few turbot and monk about...
as hake seem to have moved well offshore...
more turbot...
in addition to the prawn catch, the visiting boats land plenty of other fish John Dory....
and haddock...
and red mullet...
while the handliners are finding better marks of mackerel as the tide jumps...
there was the one big bass haul...
and a good few boxes of witches to add to the mix...
another batch in to land...
and fill the market...
and trade with spiders is the current trade for shellfish.
