Much mackerel makes an appearance at last!

Pretty boats all in a row...

the old harbour cafe has been transformed and is now open as Favorita and serving serving delicious tapas style food with a local twist for you...

the big Spring tide reveals all...

like the hulls fo more modern deep-draughted vessels in berth...

the Winter of Ladram lengthwise dwarfs the bigger beam trawler...

the market earlier in the week saw a big shot of bass...

from the fly-shooter's trip of fish...

name that fish...

fashionable fish...

quality megrim sole...

the blue-fin boys have been in action...

filling the tub once more...

and some decent mackerel haver begun to appear on the auction list...

along with this fine skipjack tuna...

and cracking bream...

decent run of mackerel again...

a handful of reds...

that man Cod on the Butts brings in the catch...

sardines are back on the menu too,,,

another day and it looks like rain...

under a heavily overcast sky...

the view before the harbour opens up...

bringing in the Rowney...

to land and overhaul the gear...

bound away...

cracking lemons...

morte seardines...

and the blackest reef conger...

all whisked away in the blink of an eye as if by magic...

a box of blues...

and a brill or two...

those cuttlefish pots have been AWOL for some time...

Karen of Ladram taking ice before sailing...

Favorita, all set to open today...

easy access to the hull of your punt on the Canners slip...

a moody start to the day.

All hail the Halloween hake!

Scare your friends with some Halloween #Cornish #hake on the menu tonight.

Mid-week market in Nelwyn.

The mid-week market is often full of small shots of fish from the inshore fleet like this smattering of monk form the New Harmony, a hard-won catch from off the Lizard...

or these banging bass from the likes of Cap'n Cod...

or these beautiful blonde rays from the trawler Shiralee...

and his sparkling plaice...

the only beam trawler to land was the Sapphire II who had decided to go with the cuttlefish...

while both the Gary M  and the Britannia V both put their trips of net caught MSC Certified hake ashore...

while outside the market the Girl Pamela takes on enough bait for a day on the pots - despite a scuffly forecast for the day as the back end of a front bringing wind and rain pass across the south west this morning.

The guys have all gone fishing on #FishyFriday !

Now it is still proper dark at 6am with the sun barely casting any light on the horizon leaves Tom peering into the gloom...

necessitating deck lights still on boats like the inshore trawler, Boy Lee...

much needed as the amount of free deck space is very limited...

apart from a dozen boxes from the Boy Lee on the market there was just a handful of line caught...

 fish from the punts working for bass like these from Cap'n Cod...

and mackerel...

otherwise the market was devoid of any trip fish from trawlers, netters or beamers...

leaving cleaning down a quick job this morning...

out down the quays some of the boats are ready to sail...

while the lorry park waits expectantly for Monday...

which should see more than just a single trawler against the fish market...

when the rest of the fleet head for home to land.
