Neap tides, light landings and most of the fleet at sea.

Just the three inshore trawlers for Wednesday's mid-week market...

which means top quality, day-boat fish like these monk tails...

beautiful blackjacks...

ray wings...

and the odd mackerel or two from the handline boys in the punts...

early birds...

and local fisherman...

head off out into the Bay...

piled high on the Terramare...

coming at the end of this month, the sponsored Fishermen's Mission coastal ramble takes in some the finest scenery of Cornwall's famous coastal path, the longest in the UK...

racking, all set to take the gear...

looks a bit better than th paper bag that was there a few weeks ago...

almost shrouded in mist, the Bay's magical, mystical St Michael's Mount... 

fresh delivery bound for the supply boat, Gry Maritha, it will all be at the Scilly's Co-op soon...

though it's doubtful there are any kegs of Cornish Mead on board!

Monday evening action in Mount's Bay.

While the Ajax comes down off the slip...

the Crystal Sea measures and checks the length of her combination bridles - a crucial part of maintaining the fishing capability of the trawls for a twin rigger...

evening maintenance aboard the visiting scallopers...

ex-Anglesey lifeboat on a stopover in Newlyn...

just past 7pm and the Scillonian III heading for Penzance harbour slows as she passes by the Mount ...

heavy cloud hangs over Newlyn...

as the Mayflower heads out for a night's sardine fishing...

taking her fish in sight of Mousehole.

Monday morning's market.

Just the two beam trawlers this morning...

which meant plenty of monk tails...

a few boxes of good haddock...

all going down in the books...

at Cornwall's biggest fish market...

just a handful of bass making a good price...

name this fish?...

first of the netters for this tide, the Govenek of Ladram put ashore a quick landing of hake...

while the beamers pulled out a box of congers...

some huge Dover sole...

and the odd red gurnard...

as the crabber Emma Louise made her way in...

it won't be long before the Billy Rowney is ready for sea trials...

while the Lisa has a couple of tons of chain to go aboard...

so that's where that flag went!, looks like Don is still is festival mood...

the one and only.

First #FishyFriday of September.

Big tides mean there was no fish from the netters this morning...

but plenty from the beamers and inshore boats...

like these haddock...

a brace of monk tails...

and some stunning quality hours old bass form the punt, Cynthia...

and big grey mullet form the victory...

and Nigel managed to steal good few boxes of JDs with the Innisfallen

pristine line caught pollack...

blondes and...

stars...

pallets are numbered in case they get lost (playing on an old Spike Milligan joke about why policemen have a number)...

you know it is...

late morning sardine landing over and done with...

tallied up in the buyer's book...

they're still about...

in the form of the classic trading ketch...

Irene...
