Under a blazing sun in Newlyn.

Three beam trawlers this morning...

and a handful of inshore boats landing the very best fish...

for the buyers to bid on... 

some just can't resist the temptation...

scallops by the bag...

 cod on the wayto the shop...

ray are always the happiest of fish...

while hake maintain a steely gaze...

name the fish with this tail...

the netter Harvest Reaper landed a good run of big white fish, pollack included...

it's high water and time for PJ to get more pots on board...

seems orange is proving an ever more popular hull colour...

the annual summer insurgence of north Cornwall and Devon inshore trawlers is well underway...

and it's good to see that other green machine back in the port, even tough the boys are in the middle of replacing an entire belly section in the trawl...

yet more stern trawlers...

making moves...

the St Georges lands a four day trip for Thursday's market...

classic lifeboat Angle...

the fitting out work is well underway on the new, as yet, unnamed sardine boat...

just on high water the Twilight III positions herself in the slip cradle...

while slip-meister, Lionel waits with his finger on the button....

before hauling her up the slip...

setting tangle nets for spiders, next season's gear in Andrew's skillful hands...

damaged hake net is cut out and recycled...

yet another yacht heads for the gaps...

full steam ahead...

for the Sapphire II...

as she shows off her freshly painted hull...

and creates a few waves...

as she steams around the Bay...

before heading off to Mousehole...

to entertain those watching from the port.

Monday morning's market in Newlyn - it's a blue kind of day.

Big inshore trawler landings and just the one beam trawler landings for this morning...

including these cracking monk tails from New Harmony...

certain to fetch a good price on a slack flats market...

these Dover soles will make good money...

and so will these spotty plaice...

while the handful of John Dory will go for top dollar when in short supply...

one grey, one red...

maybe the landing obligation will see the end of landing monk ails, so here is a box of heads, minus cheeks...

to compliment Jeremy's cracking shot of ray...

while the Millenia happened upon a handful of red mullet...

all round the Bay small boats cheered as mackerel finally decided...

to put in an appearance over the weekend...

with so much mackerel strong arms are needed...

though some of the merchants...

and the auctioneer Ian all had their eyes on a cracking landing of hake from the...

Karen of Ladram including this 8 kg fish...

and his cousin seen here balancing on his nose...

always a scary fish - the giant weaver...

and a giant monk...

and of course one of the fastest fish in the west...

almost level-pegging between the Ivan Ellen and the Paul Alexander in the rescue stakes...

always tempting to play around with a few of the images when there is no wind...

in the harbour, and a chance to create Newlyn's very own versions...

of Mandlebrot images...

on such a stunning morning...

one of those days when being a fisherman, heading for home, has no equal...

along the promenade the Jubilee pool...

basks in the morning sun...

along with a fleet of big blue boats in Penzance wet dock.
