"Looks like there's trouble ahead"...
high water on a big spring tide, and there's a few sardine boats away on the horizon looking for fish...
where the river meets the sea...
chemtrail fans will be freaking out this morning...
perfect condensing conditions up high it seems...
back on planet earth there's bass a-plenty...
and a solitary oyster, that would NEVER have made it ashore from the good ship Keriolet!......
the Billy Rowney was one of two beam trawl trips landed...
with a few red mullet...
just the one black bream from the Imogen...
there's no stopping General Factotum, no sooner has he finished auctioning the morning's fish from the office than he is out on the market floor pulling fish, he'll be landing a boat next!..
spot those lovely spots on the plaice...
luscious lemons from the big boat, that dodged for over 24 hours during storm Herminia...
its a wrap...
plenty of reds from the big one...
plus Dovers...
tails...
and megrims...
ballan wrasse, not quite so colourful as the cuckoo variety...
sharpen the big knife!, first bluefin for the year...
from one of the sardine boats...
nice weekend's work from the Rachel & Paul...
and to finish off with a few half decent ling...
as the sun makes it presence felt...
brining a little light to proceedings...
all three crabbers are within inches the same length, an illustration of how hull design has changed over three generations of boats in the Rowse crabbing fleet...
bows just keep getting bigger...
and bigger...
and bigger...
there's work to be done on the Ripple after losing her fore mast in the storms...
there's still a few passing yachts on the pontoons...
Tom heads away for another day in the Bay, or is some some timely réperations in PZ dock?..
Micahel Edward, the latest crabber to join the fleet,.
