the mackerel continue to push north and on a little 1hr trip drifting just off the harbour entrance we managed 40 in the space of 30 mins...water clarity is excellent and the seas remain calm....prospects look good!
some of the mackerel went 2.5lb View Boats Page

full day out but struggled to catch....lots of doggies and other small stuff with the largest codling going 3.5lb.
there must be a northerly push of codling as we are getting them on every trip....
again we found Pollack in the harbour entrance...biggest was 7lb with another going 5lb

a short trip out and we caught cod(3.5lb) huss, doggies, small ling, gurnard and Pollack out of the weeds...biggest was 5lb (photo to follow)
we have noticed that the Pollack are taking frozen sandeel and mackerel strip with confidence but only "pulling the tails" of jelly worms with few hookups View Boats Page

Report on-board Dawn Venture
period 4-8 june 2015
the summer species are seemingly surging north to portpatrick and the north channel
on Thursday we had 30 herring and 7 mackerel a solo codling but also coalies,gurnard,haddock another scorpion fish and some Pollack upto 4.5lb from the weeds at the harbour entrance....so far this season,the ground at the harbour is the place producing the goods,provided you can avoid the lobster pot buoys!!
Friday and Saturday.....too windy
Sunday saw beechwood SAC join me and we had around 30 mackerel and 1 herring......we also caught coalies ,plaice,gurnard and lots of small haddock and codling(8-10") with a few keepers thrown in.....Pollack failed to show in the weeds
water clarity remains good View Boats Page

we had a quick 3 hrs out this morning before the wind got up and we caught whiting haddock to 2lb and a lone codling at 2lb as well as a 3.5lb Pollack out of the weeds in the harbour entrance....the Pollack seem well established close in tho a bit small(largest 4.5lb)....just need the sandeels to arrive and the larger specimens will surely follow....water clarity remains good
