Saturday to Monday morning in Newlyn


Saturday morning most boats are port-bound following Storm Ingrid...


though the Govenek of Ladram is nearing the end of her conversion job from gillnetter to pot boat, she's going to be targeting Mediterranean octopus to see out her career...


the fish market and harbour on Monday morning before the sun has put in an appearance...


and the only fish on the market, like this red mullet was from two of the port's biggest beam trawlers, the Billy Rowney...


and the Enterprise, a beautiful brace of gilt-head bream


along with a handful of inshore fish from a few hardy punts that made it to sea over the weekend, mostly from the north coast of Cornwall...


quality flats like these lemons...


monk tails...


haddock...


and brill completed the bulk of landings...


along with a few tubs of octopi...


and a handful of bass...


Wlliam. Henry II has paid Newlyn a visit...


while three lorries line up to whick the morning's haul of fish away...


the morning glow from the sun 30 minutes before sunrise is intense...


as the Stelissa makes her way out of the gaps and a heading taking her east side of the jack-up rig, Seafox 7...




it won't be long before the St Georges and the rest of the fleet head back to sea...


back up the Norh pier it's first chore of the day for Tucker as the day breaks..
