1st June 2023.
Dave on the "Boy Nathan" tried the last few hours of the ebb last night but only had 13 mackerel and a few small pollack. That's him in the middle of the picture.
Don't need to find many to make a days work at the prices.

This east/northeast wind has been here for a while now and is set to stay for at least a couple more weeks 😒. I know 3 boats that tried the mackerel yesterday and only had 2 fish between them.

Dave on the "Boy Nathan" had about 30 kilos of mackerel yesterday morning but they were all very small, just 3 mediums amoungst them. The bass don't seem to be feeding lately even though they have been making appearances on the surface.
I did my pots last night, nothing in the ones on porthminster point and only 3 in the pots up the stones. One good one, a one clawer and a berried one that obviously went back.
No prices from Newlyn yet (12.30pm).

I stuck another half a dozen pots out yesterday on the fleeting and then tried the bass for a while. Only had one and a few pollack.
I hauled a dozen pots that needed doing for 4 keepers (2.9k) and then went to Newlyn.
The lobster price has dropped away from last week's £22 down to £15 on the market. The same has happened with other buyers apparently. Mackerel are still fetching £7.00+ for mediums. Here's the full list from this morning's market at Newlyn:-

Took the first half a dozen pots up to Godrevy on Saturday and stuck them in the inner sound.
That's a huge fleet of 12 in the water now 😀.
After shutting them I went out to the stones and tried the bass for a couple of hours. There was quite a bit of life but not many sized bass. I had 6 bass but only 3 were big enough to keep, had some half decent pollack (1k+) to go with them before thick fog rolled in and made me pack up.
I decided to give the mackerel a try yesterday, 7 fish I landed at the end of last week fetched £12.00!
After a couple of hours from the fleeting I had 20 kilos on board.
Nearly all good stuff with only 1.5k of small.
The Newlyn boats have been catching a similar amount each trip over the weekend, so the prices won't be sky high but should be pretty good. I'll post them in the morning if they are available. 💷 💷.
Bit fresh for a few days, calming down on the weekend:-
Then a bit of a blast from the North predicted Monday to Wednesday:-

I had a couple of hours on the inshore pollack over the weekend, ended up with 12.5k 0-1's and 8.5k 1-2's.
The small ones fetched more than the 1-2's. Plenty on the market though. Mackerel prices are high, think I'll have a look for a few this afternoon.
