    "DAWN VENTURE" will be operating with the Cullivoe Charter Fleet from the 2nd April 2025.

    After fishing from Cullivoe for 7 years and working there for the past 3 years on "OBERON", I am well placed to take you fishing on the grounds North and West of Yell and all around the Isle of UNST fishing the famous MUCKLE FLUGGA LIGHTHOUSE & SKAW ROST.
    I have over 200 GPS marks to choose from along with 3-D seabed visuals to enhance your chances.
    Core business will be fishing for BIG cod/ling/coalies and haddock and I helped the guys in 2023 land a 14LB HADDOCK! this would have been a british and european record but wasnt submitted.We will also (by request) fish for pollack and kelp cod under the cliffs on lightline tackle.

    Oberon has just reached the midway point in our second season in La Gomera. We had a great start to the season with many species caught. During March & April we caught a number of Bluefin with many around 700 lbs. Two of our best went over 800 lbs on the measurement charts. We also caught a number of Big eye tuna with the best at 271 lbs for Dave Wilson.

    In 28 days on the Blue Marlin we have had 17 marlin with 8 captured to the boat. All nice fish with a number around 500 lbs.

    Report on-board M.V.Kailee

    Had a fantastic weeks fishing with a great bunch of guys caught some cracking fish even though the weather wasn't very kind to us at the beggining, there was a bit of swell but it never stopped us in our tracks, there was a variety of rods and reels used with Mackerel bait but the jigging rods went down without bait and done the same job brought up some monster fish... we caught 15 species over a period of time, some PB for the guys.
    the end of the week saw us fishing in mirror image water with fog but what a great week and great fish.

    Report on-board M.V.Kailee

    Headed out for the turbot at 7.30am weather was snow and light winds 2/3 had a few guys who had never caught this species before so wanted to give them a day to remember.
    we arrived at the grounds all ready with a variety of rods and reels using flowing traces with 5" silver spoons with coloured beads and size 5/0 hook baited with mackrel and squid.
    the first bite was a good fish weighing in at 9LB turbot fine small fish for a start but they got bigger as the day went on and Tommy Tyler caught a 23.5LB

    The snow showers continued and the wind stayed light with fishing just got better and better the fish was coming aboard and the guys that hadn't caught the fish before were all enjoying a day to remember as they all caught a decent Turbot. The fish was coming aboad thick and fast a few personal bests for most of the guys
    Charlie Hunter from Ocean Tackle Store in lerwick was delighted with his catch.
    the biggest catch of the day was Ken Graham from Lerwick with his 24.9LB Turbot a personal best for ken and the first time for this species a excellent day and the weather held out until we headed back in at 5.30pm.
