Out of Europe!





The boys have got what many of them wanted - Britain's overnight exit from the EU - let's hope the fisheries minister keeps his word and 'takes back control' - #easywordstosay...




the first boats to land on this historic day...


made for a busy market...


complete with a rare yellow monkfish...


almost luminious...


Newlyn's fish being exported from this morning's market will immediately be affected by the overnight drop in the £ on the currency market...


ITV local news were there to catch the auction action...


big fishing with the big beam trawler St Georges...


big cod...


and big red mullet...


good ray...


and John Dory fishing with the Imogen II...


and  a few mackerel on the ground...


the calm before the storm for the industry perhaps.

EU Referendum - Fish for Leave flotilla in Mount's Bay.

Click on the image to see a slideshow.

Over 30 boats from Newlyn and as far afield as Scotland formed a flotilla on the eve of the EU Referendum to make their feelings felt as they steamed from Newlyn to Mousehole and back to Penzance harbour.

Live video from the @FishingforLeave Flotilla



Follow the fleet as the FishingforLeave flotilla leaves the harbour in Newlyn around 6pm and sails to Mousehole and then across Mount's Bay to St Michael's Mount then returns close along the shore from Marazion, past Long Rock to Penzance harbour before steaming back to Newlyn.
