The increasing tendency for the rise in house prices to force locals out of the housing market affects fishing in many ways; if you own a small or any boat in Newlyn you need to be on hand 24/7 to make sure all is well with your boat- especially when the weather conditions change for the worse - bailing out your punt is one such task with the incessant rain...
there are those who revel when a storm does pass through like these hardy surfers taking advantage of Newlyn's famous 'Graveyard wave'...
there are rocks and man-made rocks...
despite the weather new harbour building continues to grow...
thought the addition of the external wall cladding will no doubt make life easier from now on...
they say there's gold at the end of every rainbow, though in Cod's case he's heading out in his red punt Butts for silver rather than gold, or maybe just mackerel after storm Benjamin left a big ground sea running in the Bay...
there's always one on the lookout on the prom for a cheeky snack from an unsuspecting tripper...
and we're off!...
early doors for #FishyFriday morning and all is quiet...
with only the Crystal Sea's fish on the market...
and a few dozen boxes from some hardy inshore boats who beat the stormy conditions to land some cracking shellfish...
monk tails...
red and black bream...
stiff as-you-like red mullet...
and the odd bass...
and a gurnard or two...
time for young Nathan to whisk the morning's catch away...
just some of Cod's post storm efforts from yesterday evening...
those crabbers always need bait from the bigger boats...
and the merchants close the door on the van before heading back to base, or in this case, Port Isaac...
Benjamin was too much even for the bigger boats...
and the crabbers...
the classic lines of the Guiding Light and the other one.
