Big tide and big boat at the market

 

Blue skies can be deceptive...

but things are looking cooler in the market with a good shot of squid from the inshore boat...

along with some more exotic bream...

and greater weaver...

not forgetting tons more octopus...

while young Roger managed to pick away a few JDs...

and the netter Ocean Pride cashed in on a few turbot...

while the inshore men picked up a few bass...

and not so many mackerel...

meanwhile, the chief and skipper of the St Georges enjoyed a quick brew after bringing the boat up to a the fish market to land her trip...

just before the heavens opened...

that didn't stop the fish coming ashore pronto...

headed for the grader and tomorrow's auction...

then it was time to heave a line back aboard the boat

and spring her away from the market...

and head up the harbour to a berth on the North pier...

looks like around 160 boxes of top quality fish for the trip...

despite the downpour!..

the Crystal Sea also took advantage of the high tide to run a trawl ashore...

with strong wind forecast the punt men are going nowhere today.
