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.

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 ยฃ22 down to ยฃ15 on the market. The same has happened with other buyers apparently. Mackerel are still fetching ยฃ7.00+ 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 ๐.
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 ยฃ12.00!
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. ๐ท ๐ท.
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.
