    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    managed another uptiding trip,again the predicted forecast was wrong and the wind gusted more than anticipated along with hail and sleet but we managed to lay wind with tide for the majority of the 8hr trip.
    in the poor conditions we still managed worthy catch........1 cod @ 11.5lb / 3 cod @ 8lb / 6 cod @ 7lb and another 18 at 2-4lb.
    I fished myself and had 9 cod for 19kg and lost a further 6 on the way up. only 2 of the cod were "gut hooked" and all others were hooked on the top hook of the pennel rig.....again the preffered top hook being 3/0 circle.
    All baits fished but quality crab cart was definitely required as my catch rate was double anyone else and had I landed the other 6 I would have had a 4:1 ratio in favour against the next highest catching customer
