    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    brief summary of the week going back to wednesday 10th july......

    mackerel are now being caught in such numbers on evening trips that it is easier to measure them in stones! an average evening trip of 5 anglers for 3 hours is producing around 15 stone (around 300 fish) with most over the 1.5lb mark and plenty over the 2lb mark......for those that want and like mackerel,they are here in abundance,late to arive but making up for it in sheer volume and size!
    whiting have reached plague proportions and are everywhere coming up 4 at a time on feathers with some over the 2lb mark.
    codling are present on the ground but elusive off the wrecks....biggest over the past days is about 8lb
    ling are feeding on the wrecks at slack tide with a party of 4 taking 10 upto 8lb off the wreck on the 5 mile reef
    haddock are still showing upto about 2lb
    gurnard,pout,plaice,dab and herring are also evident but there is no size to these fish

    hope to see you soon

    Dominic
