Report on-board Dawn Venture
The wind has not been kind to us but we have managed a couple of trips out and what is showing is a lot of codling between 12oz and 1.5lb with a taste for black lug in the shallower water.
we have also had quite a few coalies upto 2.5lb and lots of huss upto 4lb.....nothing worthy of a photo ,but it shows that the fish are there and that fishing continues through the winter (when the wind allows!!) from portpatrick View Boats Page

We managed to get out for a few trips just after new year and hit into lots of good Whiting(2 1/2lb), Codling, and Huss to 10lb+. A few smaller specimens made up a bag of over 100 fish with a nice last minute Haddock of just over 3lb being kept for dinner that night, not to shabby for a last minute trip out. We are trying a few new methods including some of the Isome worms and some slow jigs for over a few new wrecks. Keep your ears open for a major development for the company and you anglers along with a few events we are putting together

The wind continues to keep the harbour shut with massive seas running.The fish are there and close in....whilst lifting some personal lobster pots only 100yds from the shore we had this 14lb conger eel in the pot,granted it wasn't caught on rod and line but it shows that large fish are close in.

report for weekend 11/12 October.......the water was very coloured offshore and affected the fishing accordingly.Close in tho',the water was clearer and we caught mackerel,codling,haddock and whiting along with the everpresent dogfish and bullhuss.Largest huss on Saturday was 6.5lb and yesterday,the biggest huss was 11lb

Report on-board Dawn Venture
The first of the autumn storms graced us with its prescence and we had waves of upto 25ft battering the coastline.A short trip out was possible before it came and we caught over 40 dogfish in 2 hours,along with 6 huss,the best of these being just over 10lb.
the water is now the colour of mud and it would be safe to say the mackerel will have departed as there numbers were dwindling in the latter part of September.
Cod are now the target species and uptiding will be the preferred technique.The boat is running all through the winter. All uptiding rods are held on board with reels grip leads and pennel rigs. View Boats Page

Kristof and the Glasgow boys came out on a blustery day and a rough sea through the night had coloured the water.A trip down to Port Logan produced plenty of mackerel,whiting and small codling and haddock.the wreck was tried to no avail and pollacking in the weeds was fruitless due to poor clarity.the anchor was dropped and we got gurnards,whiting,mackerel and a strap conger (5lb).water clarity needs to improve!

Report on-board Lucky Dip II
August was a bit on the windy side but we still made the most of it to bring in good numbers of quality fish. We also lost some fish due to tackle that was to light. Tope biting straight through 100lb hook lengths and a 20 minute battle with a large skate that just pulled the boat around on its anchor. We intend to fish on through the winter and target some of our larger species including Conger, Skate, Rays and Cod. Many thanks to all for another great months fishing. Look forward to seeing you all again soon. Steve
