    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    Covers period 7&8th july
    The boat arrived back in Portpatrick on 6th july ready for a full weekend of fishing and portpatrick didnt disappoint.....
    mackerel were everywhere and in good numbers,we landed over 35 huss(biggest 14.5lb) with most over the 10lb mark.we landed 18 spurdogs with only 1 under 12lb (biggest 16lb) and we landed a tope at 26lb and lost another in excess of 6ft long when it snapped the hook! we also caught a lot of ballan wrasse with Scott catching 10 ranging from 0.5lb - 2.5lb
    we landed 17 species over the weekend.......mackerel,herring,launce,cod,haddock,whiting,ling,ballan wrasse,red gurnard,grey gurnard,doggies,huss,spurdog,tope and a scorpion fish plus pollack from the weeds and small coalies......the harbour entrance is now alive with pollack,not massive at the moment but biggest at 3.5lb
    A good weekend of variety and size.....again,the best sharks fell to whiting flapper apart from the tope that took mackerel
    pictured is the 26lb tope
    still no common skate landed
