First #FishyFriday on the 1st of May!

100% cloud cover this morning to start the merry Month of May in Newlyn...


a quiet end to the week with much of the fish coming from the big Scottish prawn boats landing their white fish to the market...


stunning tub gurnard...


and a sure sign that the cod that used to frequent the Western Approaches, just like the cod in the North Sea have moved much further North...


the octopus are also being caught on the banks west of the Scillies...


Scottish head-on monk...


plenty of paws with the boats...


and a few cracking red mullet...



full moon, big tides = netters in port...

it's half an hour to high water so plenty of time to get her off the slip.
