Fine #FishyFriday morning in Newlyn.


Always good to see those contrails high in the sky over the harbour, a sure sign of warm weather and sunshine for the coming weekend...



looks like these guys got themselves some sunburn...



head-on monk, must be another Scotsman landing to the market...



more red mullet...



and seasonal John Dory...



though it's early days yet for any big landings...



a good shot of whiting from the prawn boat...



and a good run of megs...



to go with even more haddock...



the quays are packed with boats over the big spring tide...



last of the hake for the week...



a brace of specimen cuttles...



ad a handful of bass...



to go with some still elusive line caught mackerel...



monster Mediterranean octopus...



just a few of the prawn fleet at rest...




a daring-duo indeed...


it's time for the lighthouse to get a paint job...



as a visiting German yacht leaves, 




followed by some very much looking forwards to the start of this year's bluefin tuna season...



some of the Twilight's deck gear is getting the once-over



two visiting prawn boats in the harbour for the first time, the Jacqueline Anne FR243



and FR70, the Odyssey.
