Gales early on Sunday not on Monday.

Sunday sunshine as Ivan Ellen heads back to her berth after a Sunday morning exercise...

thats half a tier less for one netter to haul...

TV and movie star Phoenix finds shelter in Newlyn...

refit time for the Semper Fidelis...

not sure what the collective noun for crabbers is - a dose maybe?...

work in progress on the Berwick registered Voyager...

the buff club...

"maintain a watch at all times" it says in the Collision Regs - you can never be sure what lies ahead...

the netters Stelissa...

and Ygraine are about to sail...

as the next neap tide sweeps in...

seems there's a yacht in need of a mast... 

and so to Monday morning with two boats laying alongside the fish market...

where the bulk of the fish up for auction was provided by the port's biggest beam trawler Enterprise...

with plenty of flats like these megrim...

soles...

and monk tails...

squid are proving hard to find even for two 12m beams...

while a photo does not do justice as to the size of this bluefin tuna...

the tally says 192kg, nearly a fifth of a ton, which will no doubt require some smart thinking just to get it loaded onto the van before it is turned into several thousand tuna steaks...

normally, poor weather sees an increase in bass landings as these fish hunt voraciously in heavy seas...

mackerel make themselves available for those willing to put in the time searching them out...

the Immy is still picking away at the end-of-season Dory population...

and hit lucky with this little haul of bass...

along with an excellent shot of ray...

mainly big blondes...

while the odd undulated ray...

big tub gurnards...

brill and butt made up the rest of the Enterprise's trip...

along with a good landing of bait to keep the crabbers at sea...

just a few boxes of hake made it ashore...

sailing time for the Girl Pamela...

landing time for the Steph of Ladram...

while down the May Williams pier the twin rigger...

 Northern Eagle...

has just landed...

back in 2019 she was towed in by the Fraserburgh lifeboat, video courtesy of RNLI/Martyn Runcie...

big boats need big fuel...

another landing of live shellfish destined for the EU...

as the sun comes up over some of the Pascoe fleet...

SRC Marine engineers and the Argoe restaurant enjoy the warm morning rays...

you cant help but admire the simplicity of the stonework involved in the construction of the Old Harbour quay in Newlyn, stones in the seaward facing wall cut at an angle to increase resistance that withstood crashing south easterly storms for hundreds of years before the South Pier was built in the 1890s.

Fine #FishyFriday morning in Newlyn.

Big shift in the weather this morning as strong winds and heavy skies give way to patches of blue and light winds...

don't forget the box...

seems the start of the cuttle season is some way off as compared to other yeas...

though bass fishing is on the go for some..

nine and a half tons of beam trawl fish filled the market this morning with plaice...

Dover soles..

megrim sole...

and monk from the St Georges.

while the Billy Rowney added to the sole...

and lemon sole count...

with the odd ling thrown in for good measure...

giving the gulls a headache looking for breakfast scraps...

wanted, six reindeer...

this morning the colours in the fleet are mainly blue...

green...

and red...

one yacht missing its mast...

the shellfish boat Kelly Of Ladram is in Newlyn for the first time...

and a certain Mr Clark won't have any trouble spotting the provenance with her original hull colour showing through - she was the former Reliance II and was replaced with Reliance III last year...

CCTV cameras fitted aboard the Reliance III recoded the moment the wave hit, the camera on the aft mast is 30ft above sea level.

which was hit by a rogue wave two days ago while hauling 80 miles NW of the Orkneys, exemplifying the need to take every precaution possible when working in poor weather - John's and his crew have played a key role in helping to promote the Home and Dry campaign led by the Fishing Industry Safety Group...

alongside the Kelly the Spanish flagged Monte Mazanteu has a lory backed up to her...

as the skipper overseas the landing

of his 14 day trip SW of Ireland...

the Kelly of Ladram's stern is filled with lightweight plastic pots...

but the graphic is a sure giveaway as to the shellfish she is targeting...

though she may now be green she does sport the same 800 numbers of the original boat...

looks like yet another story of the one that got away...

as the sun breaks through...

over the harbour...

the Thee Jays heads away for a day on the pots...

hoping that the ground sea will have diminished by the time she gets to the grounds NW of the Longships...

the sign says turn left...

for the Sandy Cove Boatyard where you will be well looked after by Brad and his team.
