When you don't have a long keel, maximise the effect of the bow thruster by having it within the bubous bow...
a punt landing early at the fish market, a sure sign summer is around the corner, oh wait...
this morning's quality fish came courtesy of the netter, Ajax...
inshore John Dory from the Guardian...
and a good shot of turbot from the Stelissa...
interestingly, these thornback ray, caught by a boat that would normally have landed them to Plymouth market have markings very different from thornbacks caught in local waters...
seine caught witches...
a mix of mullet and bass...
proper inshore congers, all lagged in slime...
nice black bream...
and a good selection of wrasse, top sashimi fish..
very dark Dovers...
head-on monk...
hake...
and haddock, all from the seine net of young Aaron...
traditional way of keeping most (crawfish being an exception) shellfish alive in transit, cover them in seaweed...
a good day for the inshore guys...
with line caught bass a feature of some landings...
time for a change of gear, the doors have been cleaned off and treated to a lick of paint...
and the new net got ready...
never ceases to amaze that, despite their inability to control their bowls, gulls are uncannily accurate in selecting their targets...
its the way some big boys roll.
