Bank holiday weekend over - plenty of fish again in Newlyn!


Yet another Bank Holiday weekend at sea for the boys on the hake netter Ygraine as they land their fish to the market, one angling boat astern...



beam trawl, seine and trawl fish filled the market...



with John Dory...



and well over 20 species in just this bay alone...



at this time of year many of the beam trawlers target megrim sole...



and other quality fish...



the Trevessa IV even got in on the langoustine act...



while the Scottish prawn boats land their prawns direct to the processors and put their white fish on the market for auction...



the big fly-seiner made another landing of quality fish including these hake...


and these bite-size squid...



while some of the inshore boats have been reaping the rewards of deploying cuttlefish traps...



and mackerel of course...



blue skies but still a little on the chilly side out of the sun!
