Report on-board Dawn Venture
Report covers period from mid sept to Nov 5th.....
As with the last report,the wind has been our nemesis and has caused many cancelled bookings which is a shame because there has been some great fishing out there.The mackerel still linger on as the water is warming enough and there has been several days where we have had between 100-150 spurdogs in a day with the smallest at about 4lb and the biggest at 24lb !!!!(willie shaw well done).there has been tope to 45lb,huss to 18.5lb,common skate to 201lb and the pollack fishing in the weeds is now at the consistency it should have been in the summer.
One sunday in late September,fishing the banks at Port Logan,we managed 16 species: cod,haddock,whiting,pouting,poorcod,coalfish,mackerel,scad,red/grey gurnard,spurdog,lsd,herring,pilchard,wrasse and ling!
pictured is colin with his 201lb skate
the boat is afloat all winter and available for booking...diaries and tidebooks are out now for 2020 so book early for the best tides

Report on-board Dawn Venture
this report covers the period 16th August -26th august.....
The wind has wreaked havoc with our ability to get to sea and its a shame as there are plenty of fish out there both in species and size.We have continued to land a good number of tope averaging 25-30lb,spurdogs have dwindled in numbers and the huss are putting in a show again averaging 15lb.we have also hooked into more common skate but landed only 1 at 179lb.All the usual suspects are still at sea with grey gurnard in plague proportions and mini-mackerel everywhere.The pollack fishing in the weeds has improved vastly with mackerel belly outfishing the artificial lures.
bookings are still being taken for this year with first available weekend being 19/20 October and with the boat staying afloat this winter,I am looking at doing uptiding for cod .
diaries for 2020 have now been released and bookings are now being taken so please ring for best tides and dates

Report on-board Dawn Venture
This report covers period 19th july - 16th August
When the wind allows,we have been getting out and the fishing has been good with some days being great.I have lost track of how many spurdogs over the 20lb mark we have landed with the best at a whopping 23lb....these sharks are getting bigger each year and more prolific and I don't doubt that some will top 25lb next year!....the best tally for spurdogs in the reporting period is 38 landed with all being 12-17lb with a few bigger ones mixed in. we have had mixed results with the huss with the best going 18.5lb in the past month.The tope are more numerous this year and we have had 5 in a day twice last month which is well up on last year and we have lost a good few through biteoffs!...more common skate continue to show with the last 2 at 185lb and 188lb.The pollack fishing in the weeds has improved vastly with floatfished mackerel belly being very productive...there was also a good run of codling and haddock during the big spring tides where we were fishing closer in out of the tide run.
The mini mackerel have now arrived in plague proportions and strings and strings of them are possible....at less than 6" long they make great bait!
Species landed this month : cod ,haddock, whiting, pouting, pollack, coalfish, poorcod , ballan wrasse, cuckoo wrasse, common skate, tope, spurdog, huss, smoothound, LSD, mackerel, herring, launce, red/grey/tub gurnard, dab( 22 species)
bookings still being taken for this year but first available weekend date is sunday 13th October
the boat is staying afloat this winter so uptiding for cod is on the agenda
bookings now being taken for 2020 (mobile 07739231331)
