Report on-board Dawn Venture
"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.
Bookings are now being taken for 2025 and will require a deposit to secure the booking

Yesterday we headed out for what was to be Marc’s last day fishing, and what a day it was! We didn’t have long to wait until the first hookup happened, then throughout the rest of the day the fish kept coming and coming. He hardly had a break between bringing one fish to the next up ��
By the time we decided to head in he had landed an amazing 11 skate, With sizes from 201lbs to 98lbs! A total weight of 1720lbs raised from the deep ����. This equalled his last Pb of 11 fish to the boat in a day, what an effort!! I can defiantly say there arnt to many people that could achieve this, well done ������

With some good weather continuing so has the fishing. A couple of slower days and 3 days of much more productive fishing with the fish coming fast. On Sunday we had to stay out much later than usual to ensure 6 fish made it to the deck. Bait pests a plenty, crunchers, seals, spurs and starfish today!
We’ve had some great laughs with old friends returning to the boat year on year �� and of course good to meet new people too.
Skate up to 199lbs recently with only 2 smaller fish mixed in giving an easy 170lb average size.
We’re almost fully booked for this month with only one day to spare. Looking forward to returning to our highly productive fishing grounds at the end of the month �� View Boats Page

At long last a decent spell of weather, sun in April in Scotland is rare! Clam conditions have certainly helped the fishing along. ����
No 200s in our last set of trips but had them right up to the wire @ 199lbs.
Fishing north has seen a consistent average size over 170lbs and going south sees the most fish caught in a shift ��
It’s been great to meet some new people and see old friends return to the boat for some more skate action. I would certainly say young jack being the star of the show, hauling several skate to 193lbs!
One of the days with only one customer aboard Graeme managed to up his PB to 190lbs when ally kindly passed the rod onto him, and in true fashion landed it with no butt pad or harness ��������
If you would like to join us for some fantastic fishing and a great day get in touch.
Cheers Paul & Graeme View Boats Page

Unfortunately we won’t be out this Easter weekend due to the wind but as always we’ve spent some time at home prepping. Dinghy checked for our summer mooring, 3lb lead’s made and a new capstan prepared for installation to assist anchor recovery.

Good to see some nice weather and as usual the fish are flying in! Settled conditions always make for better days at anchor in the sound ��☀️☀️
So far this season on the limited days we’ve been out we have boated 4 fish over the magical 200lb, one of which coming in at 216lb! Exactly the same as our old boat (Seadog 1) boat record, but we will definitely take that! And well done to Sean taking that fish as his first ever skate, top effort ��. There has also been lots of other large skate putting the boys thru there paces ☺️��
We would like to announce that this year we will be taking a couple of 2 day trips in summer across to NI in search of porbeagle and thresher so look out for dates. There will also be a chance to come aboard for a 2 day wreck trip, again we will have some dates for this soon too.

At last a proper shift in the sound. We were graced with calm seas and some sun, and some skate. We were off to abit of a slow start with the fish not feeding but by the time we hit full time 4 fish had been landed at 157-196lbs. The guys worked hard, checking baits, defecting the bait Pests and walked away 3 happy men. Here’s hoping for some good weather in the near future so we can keep at it ����

A couple of nice skate for the lads on Friday. And finally put a bend in the new rods. The day started off great with calm seas and Graeme dropping the anchor right on fish. Unfortunately the weather turned for the worst so headed in early.
Tuesday has a perfect forecast (all day!) if anyone’s interested in a trip get in touch ASAP. View Boats Page
