The Autumn Fishery has arrived up and down the coast of the South-West. Our Squid fishery has turned up along with the Dory and Gurnards and we're even starting to see a few Bass in the catch. Up to the east in Brixham and Plymouth a fair few Cuttles are being landed, so if the gales return we may head east. We can carry on working tucked up behind the headlands of the Lizard and Start Point giving

We're on the way in tonight after a couple more days fishing, hopefully land our catch to a strong market as supplies have been short this week due to poor weather. We're still fishing fairly handy and we have been fishing for Squid, Gurnard, Haddock and Dory. We did have a supprise in our last haul today as we netted 20kg of large Black bream! It is a great fish to look at as well as eat

We got away again after last nights gale had another good days fishing the gurnnards seem to be setting in at the wolf like they always do this time of year. The market for gurnard has been stronger this year thanks to promotions by many celeb chefs and people like mike at M&J seafoods this all came about by the sea food Cornwall team highlighting the merits of the gurnard and suggesting it

The QE2 passed us up this afternoon on her way back to southampton she looked majestic in the bright sunlight and set against the calm ocean. For anyone who has never seen her at sea she is one of the most impessive sites to see and definitly the best looking cruise ship ever built, I always think how nice it would be to be onboard her rather than rolling around on our

We sailed early this morning after a windy night we shot west of lands end and towed out towards the seven stones reef the swell was huge and when we hauled half a mile from the reef we saw huge waves crashing over the submeged rocks, they must of been 35-45feet and as they crashed down the white was bouncing back up at last another 15feet quite spectacular and the fishing was good.

Hi all the catch was landed yesterday and I have to admit to being dissapointed the price of haddocks was well down on what they should have been, we averaged 93p kg which is quite poor for a goodrun of haddock, it should have been 1.30kg at least average and as we landed just over 5tonnes that is a huge loss. As always the team at plymouth trawler agents tried there best but they said it was just
