The weather has settled from the severe winds experienced last week.  The forecast show winds continuing to blow moderatly from the W to WSW.  This is good news for fish landings as neep tides will see our netting fleet landing later this week.  We expect to see daily landings' of trawl fish from our dayboats with the larger netting boats landing later in the week

Our suggestion - BUY AS NEEDED - THURSDAY & FRIDAY SEEM HOT FAVOURITES FOR PRIME FISH
