Easter week is fish week.

Angling off the prom in full view of the handline fleet catching mackerel at first light...

one possible solution to the box issue on the market is for a box pool.....hmmm....

signs of more haddock on the grounds as the summer season advances...

with good landings from the inshore trawlers this morning...

like the Harvest Reaper...

name the fish...

it is not difficult to see the scale of the fish box problem #samethewholeworldover...

people have been whiting for a solution for years...

but there must be more than one way to skin a Dover...

not that you have to do that to lovely lemons, just trim the head, tail and fins, score, butter and grill, dark side up...

every scale intact on the Innisfallen's haddock...

the brill's big brother...

some are red and some are grey...

and some are green...

two big refits underway...

there's pure gold in them cuttles...

the man, the beard, the boat...

looks like the Stig's Celtic cousin just turned up for a test ride in Newlyn...

Juicy, aka Mr Pender enjoys the quickest of coffees before it is time to land the St Georges...

helped by Steve...

and the rest of the crew...

as young Mr Worth...

skillfully guides the boxes...

from the depths of the fishroom...

 skywards...

to the ever-cheerful Roger, ably assisted by someone who charges considerably less than George Clooney for his appearances on the big screen...

the Ajax passes up the hand;line fleet...

on the way in...

lining up the final concrete mixer run...

as the finishing touches are put to the historic Art Deco Jubilee Pool...

and the final part of the pool's bottom covered...

the Bonnie Grace in action.

Mayhem on Monday morning's market as a harbour box shortage forces fishermen to use their own boxes to lay out their fish for auction.

All in order of sale, beam trawlers, inshore trawlers, gill netters and handliners, it's a bustling market...

full from end-to-end with fish this morning...

let's hope small mackerel make more than 20p a kilo for the handliners

as not many of the fish are this big...

all grist to the mill for Gary gathering data...

big flat fishing for the likes of the Imogen II and the Harvest Reaper...

and with so many boats landing there would appear to be a huge shortage of market boxes - many of the boats being forced into using their own boxes to lay their fish out for auction...

that's a lot of monk cheeks...

from the Karen of Ladram and her trip of white fish...

 and hake...

by weight, this is probably the biggest market this year...

with space limited everywhere...

prime fish like these bream...

and some cracking haddock...

along with signs of summer, a scattering of mature scad...

Girl Pamela heads for the gaps...

and back out to sea...

the quest for more data continues...

closely followed by young Mr Roberts of the Bonnie Grace...

Silvery Sea heading for a crane at the market to take on board more nets...

not one but two lifebaots on passage - the grown up one is the relief lifeboat 17-46 Margaret Joan and Fred Nye and the smaller is Ilfracombe's Shannon class 13-09...

Barry and Peggy High Foundation on passgae to Poole...

pots at the ready for the Emma Louise...

while it looks like the man from the Galilee has some more carpentry work still to do...

basking in the morning sun, the relief lifeboat Osier...

while out in the Bay a small fleet of handline boats get in a morning's mackerel fishing - this winter the big pelagic boats fishing for mackerel off the west coast of Ireland have reported shoals over 6 miles long!

Cornish 'cousin Jack' and Luke give France a pastying in Paris.

Cornishman Jack Nowell, centre stage with Luke Cowan-Dickie and others from the England team and their St Piran flag.

Cause for celebrations as two members of Cornwall's fishing community conquer the French in Paris last night - catch the highlights and the boys in action here.

"All shook up"

Just entering Nelwyn...

the yacht Shaker Too puts ashore so that an injured crewmen with a suspected broken wrist can get treatment...

a washdown for the @Penleelifeboat relief lifeboat Osier 17-34 after her first shout...

still up on the slip with more work to do, the Twlight III...

little 'n large...

fuel time for young Mr Nudd and the Intuition...

in full flow, the Coombe river...

wends its way past the Newlyn Filmhouse, the first time there has been a cinema in Newlyn since the Gaiety cinema closed at the end of the 1960s, the independent cinema is housed in a converted fish processing building...

in a street which still boasts the like of shellfish merchants Harvey & Sons...

and W James...

making her way into Newlyn...

the Padstow registered crabber Galcadora...

Robbie, skipper of the Algrie studies his starboard side gear which he is rebuilding...

which when completed will look something like the work of art that George Stephens maintains on the James RH PZ78....

nothing like having 7 tons of steel hanging over your head while you work.
