Report on-board Dawn Venture
Put to sea with fresh lugworm for some uptiding and downtiding to see if the codling were inshore....during first part of the ebb tide dogfish and huss were caught and then as the tide ripped thru' we picked 6 codling but the biggest was 3/4lb but at least they showed along with a few small whiting.
In the afternoon we were tight in against the cliffs and one string of feathers produced 4 Pollack,biggest being 1.5lb,the we got stuck into a shoal of coalfish that averaged about 1 1/4lb.
herring have been caught from the boats at the village,still sporadic and the mackerel have yet to show even tho' they are being caught at port logan and in loch ryan at stranraer

Had a full day on Friday,tried the offshore banks,under the cliffs and reef anchoring.We managed in the region of 20 dogfish ,but 6 of them were small huss.we also landed a lot of small whiting and a 10" codling.the Pollack fishing was fruitless.
the mackerel have still to show off portpatrick ,however they have been confirmed catches of joey mackerel at cairnryan and stranraer in the sea loch(loch ryan) View Boats Page

just another 3 hr trip today with conditions against us(wind wise!) but the sun shone and the dogfish fed,amassing about 25 and Ian from paisley caught 3 on one drop.
reports are filtering in that mackerel land herring are being landed at Port Logan,some 6 miles south of Portpatrick, so our summer species cant be far behind?? View Boats Page

took a couple of the Essex boys out today and its apparent that we need the mackerel to arrive! we tried drifting and then freelining with sidewinders for Pollack which produced a couple in the 3lb bracket and finally anchoring with bait that produced a small codling and about 10 dogfish.
a couple of days previous we took about 30 coalies in the 1-1.5lb bracket and some small whiting View Boats Page

We had a couple of short charters out today and racked up 7 species including Huss, codling, haddock, whiting and LSDs too. Nothing of any real size but put smiles on everyones faces as two youngsters were new to fishing. The mackerel are not far away now and the wrecks seem to be filling up well. we have also had some success from close in using light weight tackle and various jellies! Happy days.

Hi.
Thanks for the great couple of days I had.
I caught a load of pollack and dogfish with the odd codlin. We tried about 3 different types of fishing with all being successful.
Defiantly worth the money.
Thanks Dominic.

Small tides,shining sun and 50ft of water were not the best of conditions for uptiding trip but perseverance paid off....we landed 23 codling all in the 1.5-3lb bracket except the one in the photo.....21lb in weight!! what a cracking inshore fish. Squid and worm were the order of the day but adding crab cart made the difference. we also caught 6 pouting upto 2lb and a strap ling
Nice cod Igors at 21lb !!! View Boats Page

Have been making good use of this more settled weather to get out and check some of our marks. Very happy to see they are holding good stocks of fish on them with good size Pollack, Coalies and a few Codling coming up on the rods. Looking forward to checking out some more over this next few weeks and enjoying some fresh fish suppers!!
getting lots of interest for the light weight fishing too on both lure and fly! View Boats Page
