Muggy Monday morning in Newlyn.

Another fine start to the week in sunny Newlyn...

with two netters landing trips that included the much unloved spurdog...

alongside the MSC hake...

and more dogs!..

the rest of the market was loaded with inshore fish from trawlers like these brill...

and John Dory from the New Venture...

while the two Scottish prawn boats, Revival and Sparkling Star put their white fish ashore including these megrim soles...

and several hundred boxes of haddock between them...

with his boat currently tied up, skipper Peter is busy reporting on progress on the busy auction floor...

to see that the top quality inshore fish like these pollack...

octopus...

and slack boxes of mackerel all go to their correct destinations...

along with the bigger landings of hake...

and whole monk from the two prawn boats...

the scallop season is still seeing landings...

while the ring netters are busy getting new or repaired nets back aboard the boats in preparation for the expected sardine season start in July...

the Trevessa IV gives her cod ends an airing between trips with the Sparkling Star lying astern of her...

seems it's not only slim pickings with the mackerel men...

Stan and the crew of the Kelly of Ladram have plenty of work to do stripping out damaged nets...

and the Karen N waits for the next high tide to come down off the slip...

Winter of Ladram landing her crab catch to the waiting lorry transport...

at this time of year the marina yacht berths are always full...

the Twilight III might be against the quay for some time depending on a decision about her seized main engine...

Newlyn continues to be a huge source of inspiration, this time the youngsters get their chance to show off the results of their creative endeavours at both the Newlyn and Exchange galleries.

 

Not quite a flaming June #FishyFriday morning in Newlyn.

Four hours into the light and the day is looking good...

with a market pretty much end-to-end with fish...

including this good shot of turbot from the Stelissa's trip...

which also featured a smattering of monk cheeks...

and a solitary blue shark...

while the Twlight III made a good landing of witches from her trip, which may be the last for some time having been towed in by the Treevssa IV after her main engine seized while fishing west of Scilly...

red mullet...

and langoustine helped make a quality landing...

the same going for all the inshore boats like the Spirited Lady III all making he best of the settled weather to put in the time...

what's yer favourite colour blue...

at this time of year megrims make up a bg part of a beam trawlers trips when fishing the deeper water...

though Dovers ...

and monk tails are still a feature of the landing sheet...

unlike the news with the handliners chasing mackerel, this box pretty much sums up the landings of these summertime fish a the moment...

so many of the boats have been successfully chasing pollack instead, though having to travel a air way off in manybcases...

though not as far as young Mr Smith of course...

both sides of the turbot...

and a sign from the Dovers...

the season for turbot is short lived at this time of year so those that do chase them try and make the most of the time they have......

let's hope there is more than just an empty landings sheet over the weekend for Monday's market...

no doubt the big grey boat is hoping to sniff out some illicit imports over the coming weeks...

the pontoon berths are up to capacity, the Sandy Cove Project would effectively double the size of the harbour and allow for many more visitors than the harbour can contend with at the moment...

and provide plenty of space for boats like this sardine boat to repair their gear...

it's a hazy bay that is home to the Mount this morning.

 

There's sandbanks and Sandbanks

 

Aggregate suction dredger, Cemex Go Innovator passes the Sandbanks - Swanage chain ferry, shot from Brownsea Island..

while Time and Tide heads for Poole, shot from Sandbanks...

while local Swanage boat prepares to come round and pick up a buff west side of Peveril Point, home to Swanage NCI, the second watch station ever to be opened after Bass Point on the Lizard.
