Fishboat

When    :: 11-30am, Sunday, 9th August 2009

Sydney fish markets ... not quite the romantic fishing boat bobbing sea of Laugharne, in fact 12,000 miles away, but no doubt similar vessels, real working fishing boats and prawn trawlers. They dress up well for thew little fishes in their splendid blues and rusts. Here are a few LFBs (Licenced Fishing Boat) trawlers ready to sail tonight, back on Wednesday night, two nights at sea.



It all reminds me of course of the "dab-filled sea where the Arethusa, the Curlew and
the Skylark, Zanzibar, Rhiannon, the Rover, the Cormorant, and the Star of Wales
tilt and ride."



Here we have the Kylie, Koala, Queen of Prawns and Kookaburra ... all getting ready for another trip into the South Pacific looking for snapper, bream, ocean perch, gemfish and flathead on the sandy bottoms.
