    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    Strong south westerlies blew thru Friday causing a massive sea and all clarity was lost over the weekend but by today we had clarity equivelant to the swimming pool and a light breeze....drifts were long and slow and what a difference it made!
    the Carlisle boys landed 24st of mackerel(biggest 3lb!!),about 40 codling of which 20 were keepers(biggest 3lb) and one lad pulling up 4 at once! in the region of 20 haddock of which 12 were keepers(biggest 4 lb),whiting (1.25lb).Pollack(6lb) 4 jumbo herring(1.25lb each!),1 solitary ling(4lb) and a scorpion fish.....all told,there was about 45st of fish(quarter of a tonne!)
    pictured is the 4 cod on one drop...
