Mountains of fish this Monday morning in Newlyn!


Won't be long before this classic Dartmouth crabber is back hauling pots...



just in time to give the spider season a miss, young Tom Lambourn making the final landing ahead of his return to skipper the Cornish sardine boat, Lyonesse...



to Jeremy, boss man at We Shell Crab, purveyors of the finest hand-picked crab...



the auction halls were end-to-end with fish this morning most of it coming from the visiting prawn boats who are providing a welcome addition to the weekly landings at this time of year...



though there was plenty of the good stuff courtesy of the first landing by the Twilight under skipper Coutsubus, welcome back Roger!..



especially when you land these beauties...



the inshore boats took advantage of some fine weather over the weekend with line caught bass...




a few Mediterranean octopus...


and mackerel, though most of those were from St Ives Bay...



more high-end fish from the prawn boats...



to keep the restaurant trade happy...



as far as the eye can see...



which must be driving this guy mad as he waits patiently for someone to toss him some expensive morsels...



a handful of inshore trawlers wait for a better forecast......



the Stevenson fleet is looking very tidy these days...



fuel and transport at the ready for visiting boats...



the next ex-Admiral to join the local fleet



to go with Roger's command, all eyes will be on who is the skipper it seems.
