Most of the Newlyn fleet braved the conditions in the early hours of this morning, setting sail after a day of gale-force winds. The heavy ground sea was still running high across Mounts Bay as the boats searched for marks from first light.
It proved to be a tough night for some of the the fleet. The Lyonesse and Serene Dawn struck gold, sharing the catch between them. For the rest, it was a short steam back to port empty-handed.
Proof, if we needed it, that it’s called fishing, not catching!
