First Monday morning market of December!

Heading to the boat as light breaks the sky...


the Harriet Eve is safely moored up on the hard for some attention below the waterline...


Monday's market is loaded with quality fish like these red mullet...


and for the first time in a couple of weeks good shots of sardines from the Bay where fish have been very scarce...


just the two netters to land hake this morning, the Ocean Pride...


and the Ygraine...


the one beam trawler to land, the Billy Rowney put ashore the usual mix including these big monk tails...


and a box of bass...


along with squid...


and Dovers...


these were some nice haddock too...


as alongside the market the Nicola of Ladram landed crab and lobster...


and a handful of John Dory...


this tide spurdogs have been the bane of the netting fleet, one of the boats took three days to go through their fleet of nest dealing with huge numbers of big dogs...


a good sized bluefin...


good signs of mackerel from some areas...


and the odd conger or two...


not seen on the market for some time, pilchards...


dawn breaks over the harbour and it is good to see the lifeboat where she belongs...


loading time for the crab boat.
