    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    uptiding.....managed to sneak out after Fridays storm on the back of a swell forecast that was 50/50. however juris and his guys came up from derby for uptiding. early on with wind against tide made it nigh on impossible to fish with the boat swinging on the anchor but a move into 38ft of water and the first push of the flood saw 15 fish landed,biggest 9lb.
    then it was a case of hunting for the fish!
    we were out 7.30 til 4.30 and we managed 32 cod,biggest 9lb,3 at 7lb and the rest in the 1.5 - 3lb bracket.we also got a box of whiting,some the size of "bin lids"(about 2-3lb) and 3 jumbo whiting(2.5lb+)

    no single bait was overly productive but calamari squid with a black lug "wrap around" seems to be taking its fair share...always handy to have some crab cart in your "back pocket"
