Newlyn's got the blues this Monday morning., not a cloud in the sky..
and there's plenty of fish on the market with another landing from the big fly-seiner with hake...
and red mullet a big feature...
along with a few monk...
signs of summer with JD landings increasing...
while seemingly every boat is landing Mediterranean octopus......
unheard of in previous years...
they are so voracious they will eat one another when caught in pots...
a few plaice have huge orange spots...
Butts has been hard at work on the mackerel again, at this time of year his favourite fish to target, bass are feeding on very small sandeels and very hard to entice to take a lure...
a few zarts this morning...
which is how the skipper of the Crystal Sea would refer to what others call sea urchins, but then he's a St Ives boy.
