    Report on-board Dawn Venture

    covers period 21/22 july....
    Matt White brought a team down to see what portpatrick had to offer and it didnt disappoint!
    At a conservative estimate we landed 110 spurs with only a couple under 10lb and the vast majority being 12-15lb and quite a few in the 16-18lb range with the best at 22lb! (an inofficial scottish record).
    We also landed around 30 huss over the period with the best being 15lb... alot were dropped on the saturday and more were landed on the sunday.we had lots of mackerel and small whiting(flappers of which accounted for the better sharks).we also managed to prise some pollack from the weeds with the best going 5.5lb to skipper Dom.2 tope were also landed on the sunday at 30 & 32lb with a much bigger one(it snapped 200lb mono!) being lost on the saturday.
    Over the weekend we caught: cod,haddock,whiting,grey gurnard,red gurnard,pollack,coalies,launce,tope,spurs,huss and Lsd and mackerel /herring
