Mackerel move to St Ives

Who needs legs? the Ripple is quite happy to sit on her bilges, as boats built for tidal harbours like St Ives were intended......

ahead of the Ripple, Danny's high-speed punt the Josephine does not have that problem with so little boat below the waterline.....

crabbers ball........

two young gulls scrap over fresh mackerel bait that they have thieved from the boxes waiting to go aboard the crabbers......

with harbour filling up, the yachts are squeezing three to a berth......

the Viddy has opted to target pollack with the lines......

as the mackerel have decided that they are spending time around the corner in St Ives - 131 kg from the St Ives registered Lay Joan......

this time of year sees the Pascoe boats homing in on rays.......

and, for the second night running, the Pride of Cornwall has landed the first of this season's Cornish Sardines..........

early start for the yellow-welly brigade.
