    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    period 22nd sept to 26th september......

    the wind continues to blow and the water remains the colour of chocolate(until the very last of the ebb!)

    thursday 22nd saw us put to sea on a blustery day with big spring tides and coloured water so we had to fish tight in to the cliffs...doggies and small whiting were constant and bull huss were taking hold and wrestling with the bait but getting away...finally (after changing to circle hooks) ,in the last 20 mins we hooked and landed 2 x 14lb bullhuss and tope at 25/31lb with a much larger one lost

    monday 26th...tides had eased and we had the first of the flood with a few mackerel showing on a distant bank...we caught 10 spurdogs in the 9-12lb range and a couple of huss at the first mark.Then a move and we caught around 15 huss ,all doubles and the best at 13lb
    ......again,whiting flapper was the most successful bait
