The selection of photographs shown have been sent in by Fishing News readers.

At the end of the year, the reader who sent in the photo judged to be the best by Fishing News will receive £100.
Readers are invited to email (dave@linkie.co.uk) photographs of any subject related to the fishing industry – action shots at sea, colourful harbour scenes, night-time shots, amusing images, etc.
