Barely a breath of wind to start the day...
which makes time spent at sea for the punt men...
that much more pleasurable...
meanwhile, the market has plenty of fish up for auction with a real mix from...
net caught fish like these hake from the Ocean Pride...
along with the mix that gill nets also tend to attract...
the Chaffin picked up a good shot of blondes...
while pollack keep coming for almost every kind of fishing method...
the big flag boat happened on a few JDs...
while the Silver Dawn made a start to the tangle net season with these big turbot...
the sun it doth shine...
bass man Cod was at his favourite sport yesterday...
signs that the spider season has kicked off...
despite the fairly chilly airflow still prevailing in the Western Approaches...
though the market already seems to be struggling to maintain a good price for these delicious crustaceans...
at the end of the quay yet more crustaceans are coming ashore in the form of nephrops from the Revival, one of the regular visiting Scottish prawn boats that work from Newlyn at this time of year...
it's official, the Spirited Lady has a new livery and a new owner...
it's yellow-welly time again...
the sardine fleet are laid up for the next few weeks until the season starts in mid-July...
for the sake of a minor intrusion to a minor access road in Newlyn, the signage seems to have gone totally over the top these days, who has time or the desire to take all this in?!..
progress update on the Resource Centre...
the port's biggest sardine boat is up on the slip...
the new and innovative multi-purpose Tor Boreas at anchor was in silhouette this morning
end-of-life for gill nets, off to be recycled...
with more practicing creative people per square mile than anywhere in the UK it is Open Studios time starting on the 24th May.
