    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    Report covers period from mid sept to Nov 5th.....

    As with the last report,the wind has been our nemesis and has caused many cancelled bookings which is a shame because there has been some great fishing out there.The mackerel still linger on as the water is warming enough and there has been several days where we have had between 100-150 spurdogs in a day with the smallest at about 4lb and the biggest at 24lb !!!!(willie shaw well done).there has been tope to 45lb,huss to 18.5lb,common skate to 201lb and the pollack fishing in the weeds is now at the consistency it should have been in the summer.
    One sunday in late September,fishing the banks at Port Logan,we managed 16 species: cod,haddock,whiting,pouting,poorcod,coalfish,mackerel,scad,red/grey gurnard,spurdog,lsd,herring,pilchard,wrasse and ling!

    the boat is afloat all winter and available for booking...diaries and tidebooks are out now for 2020 so book early for the best tides
