    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    this report covers the period 16th August -26th august.....

    The wind has wreaked havoc with our ability to get to sea and its a shame as there are plenty of fish out there both in species and size.We have continued to land a good number of tope averaging 25-30lb,spurdogs have dwindled in numbers and the huss are putting in a show again averaging 15lb.we have also hooked into more common skate but landed only 1 at 179lb.All the usual suspects are still at sea with grey gurnard in plague proportions and mini-mackerel everywhere.The pollack fishing in the weeds has improved vastly with mackerel belly outfishing the artificial lures.

    bookings are still being taken for this year with first available weekend being 19/20 October and with the boat staying afloat this winter,I am looking at doing uptiding for cod .

    diaries for 2020 have now been released and bookings are now being taken so please ring for best tides and dates
