    We had a great days fishing on Tony Parry's boat Jensen off Rhyl on Friday 10th July.
    Blessed with good weather, good company we set sail with skipper Phil.
    Fishing the wind farm area we picked up a few mackerel, dabs, whiting, scad , gurnards, huss, and dogs.
    I was lucky enough to catch a couple of 50lbs plus Tope best weighed and photo'd @ 52lbs, the other was too big to lift in after breaking the net on her. Bait was whole mackerel, I also nearly landed a bull seal which Skip refused to tail for me...don't know why!
    As the day went on we all caught loads and the Huss got bigger with several into double figures, along with Pollock, poor cod, ray and pout caught off a small wreck... These kept us all busy over slack water then a move inshore and a couple of smoothy's starry and plain were landed along with more Huss, dogs and dabs.
    At about a mile off we had some of he biggest dogfish I have seen, one was weighed at 4lbs 12oz caught by Paul Allen of tom pot blenny fame.
    In all thanks to Phil our skipper on the day, he was a great barista..serving amazing coffee, providing pasties and good advise, a competent and professional skip he also put his life at risk twice to land my Tope by tailing.
    Really looking forward to getting out again on Tony's boats off Rhyl, must take a bigger net next time!.
