A weekend of mixed results one day finding the fishing not as good as usual with very little Mackeral and the next day producing fantastic fishing with plenty of nice Pollack and Mackeral.
Best Pollack was just into double figures and average size is around 6 lb not to bad for reef fish, With everyone on the boat landing Pollack on both days the total was 118 Pollack over 5lb in 2 slack water sesions certaintly nothin to complain about and plenty of fish for the BBQ in this fine weather.
A few midweek small tides still available for Tope/Spurdog or to fish the Off-shore reefs ( special rates ) -

Thursday 30th june saw us sail at 10 on a wreck and reef trip unfortunately once we rounded the breakwater end it was a bit lumpy North stacks looked evil so we decided to anchor up for a couple of hours and wait for the tide and wind to drop off.
Anchor on the first mark produced Dogs, Codling, Whitting, Dab, Grey gurnard, Tub gurnard and Dragonets.
After 2 hours not much had changed in the way of the weather so we had a move on to some mud to target a few other fish and after half an hour we added Spotty ray and Plaice to the species list whilst the weather had started to drop off and then we decided to have a few drifts over an inshore wreck which a flying collar rig with a large Ragworm droduced about 10 Pollack to 5lb after this the wind had died off and allowed us to push round to South stacks were we saw plenty of mackeral for bait and within 10 minutes of stopping we had more then enough for bait and for the table so we started the steam out to an offshore reef with Pollack and Codling being on the agend.
We arrived at the reef about an hour before slack water and the tide running perfect which saw 3 Pollack to 6lb out of 4 rods, We only had time for an hour of fihsing untill we had to start the steam back in but luckily the fish were playing today after the hour we had over 20 Pollack between 3 to 9 lb but only a couple of small Codling.
The day was finished with an hours steam back to port with a big bowl of hotpot for every one whilst a few pics were taken and everything filleted.
Best lure of the day were Storm Sandeels but biggest Pollack fell to a whole squid.
Once again well done to the lads from Hull and only being back a few days from a dissapointing Pike trip to sweden they all left me with full cool boxes and big smiles -

Another weekend of poor weather watched our boats fish in Holyhead bay.
The bay is producing plenty of Codling, Dabs, Dogs, Whitting, Pollack, Coalies, Wrasse, Bullhuss, Gurnards, Spotted rays and a few Thorny's ,Blondes, Mackeral, Ling, Rockling, Sea Scorpion, Pouting, Poorcod, Goby for when you species hunting.
Tuesday the 29th With perfect weather and a perfect tide we decided to to head around to South Stacks Reefs to try our luck, once arrived there was plenty of Pollack, Coalies, Wrasse, Codling and Mackeral coming up so we stayed around for a couple of hours to fill up on Mackeral for bait and a few fish for the table.
After trying a few more areas which was still producing the normal suspects we then steamed offshore to try a few Reefs and Wrecks with the tide easing and after a few drifts over the first mark it produced and few Pollack to 8lb and Cod to 6lb we headed to a wreck a few miles further which produced a few more Pollack to 6lb we decided to stick the anchor down for the last hour to try a few big baits not far from the side of a wreck.
After 15 minutes all hell broke loose with almost every rod bending over double and battling away the first Spurdog came to the net closely followed by 7 more Spurs then a couple of Tope and Bullhuss came aboard.
With time running out we had to up anchor and make our way back to Holyhead and with everyone tucking into a nice bowl of hot pot we totaled the days fishing and with a big success to only catch 2 Dogfish !
Looking forward to the Wrecks and Reefs again on the 30th! -

A weekend of mixed days fishing and with weather up and down all through the day its was a challenge at times to get to the best marks that have been fishing realy well.
Still a few Smooth-hounds showing at present and a few lager ones around.
The weekend has seen plenty of Dogies, Codling, Huss, Dabs, Poutin, Poorcod, Mackeral, Pollack, Wrasse and coalies with a few extras thrown in like small Congers, Plaice, Whitting and Rays.
With every trip seing more and more Codling and with a few around the 4-6lb mark the next year or so is looking up for the amount of Cod to come to the boat.
Best fish over the weekend went to a regular from Sheffield but not only becuase it was a nice Smoothie but purely becuase he landed it on a £4.99 kids telescopic spining rod with 10lb line in a screaming tide.
Out again through the week hopefully if the weather stays nice try get out for a few Tope :)
Tight lines once again! -

Just a quick one to congratulate Mr Mike Peely on his catch of a life time a Smooth-hound of 26+lb and off his kayak i bet it was a tremendous fight and landed on a 7/0 Tope trace with half a fresh Mackeral.
Unfortunately he was un-aware of the welsh record and looking at pictures it would have took it with ease.
Well done matey -

June fishing so far is producing plenty of good fish.
The Smooth-hounds are still in full steam with plenty coming aboard most days.
The Mackeral have arrived and are plentyfull along with Pollack, Coalies and Codling.
Offshore banks are seing plenty of Spurdog and Bull Huss with a few larger Tope.
Inshore banks a producing plenty of Bull Huss to 16lb, Codling, Dogs, Dabs with a few Whittings, Gurnards and Rays aswell.
We have yet to have the weather to venture down to fish the Turbot/Ray banks but fingers crossed for this month.
Tight lines and get fishing. -

It was a fantastic day , as where the other three that week, but this day really topped it off with the best smoothound fishing i have ever seen ! With just Skipper Aaron, regulars Chris , Alan and myself onboard, loads of sunshine and hardly any wind ,buckets full of crabs, loads of cups of tea and the normal banter - what more do you want ?
We where into fish soon after anchoring up , the smoothies giving some fantastic sport with the od cod(ling) and ballan wrasse joining in on the crab menue ....we had 23 smoothound on board , lost 1whilst neting it and had at least another 15 hooked which we lost - all in all a fantastic result !
I will put a video of that day on you tube the next few weeks so that everybody can see the fantastic sport we had .
I highly recommend Bad Boyz and Bad Laz from Angleseycharterfishing , the Skippers Aaron and Mel do their absolut best to give everybody onboard a fantastic time ,always finding the fish - thats the reason why i have been going out with them for 14 years now - i rate it as the top boat in Holyhead !
Many thanks lad's and tight lines !

Fishing these last couple of weeks has been superb!
The well thought about North Wales Smouth-hounds have provided us with some fantastic sport and plenty of them.
With the best so far only being 18lb 7oz falling to skipper Aaron the ellusive 25lb's yet to come to the net but reports and pictures off a fellow angler in the local tackle shop showing a beaut at 26lb 6oz caught on the 4th June from his private boat is a sign that it only takes that one crab to hit the rite spot to find a Welsh Rocord Hound.
With 23 hound being our best day out so far and being caught with only 4 anglers on the boat this could have been a 50+ day if it were a full boat ( or if we didnt lose so many ha ), With Holyhead living up to its reputations for its brilliant Smooth-hound action we have yet to venture out to Holyhead deeps to try our luck on some summer tope but fingeres crossed the weather stays settled to have a go this weekend if we can tempt the lads to try for them instead of the hound but who is complianing when the sport is so good.

May has seen most trips cancelled due to the bad winds of up to 65knots but this last week we have been alble to venture out to try our luck with the mayhounds as we call them and to be rewarded with almost 20 in a few days with only a couple of hours here and there targeting them, with the biggest fallin just off the 20lb mark and most being 6-12lb ( if you could stop the codling getting to your bait first).
Anchoring in the slighty deeper water has produced over 70 huss in 4 days up to 14lb 5oz along with the usual Dogs, Dabs, Whiteing and Gurnards.
The reef fishing around the famous South Stacks is producing endless amounts of Pollack, Codling, Wrasse and a few Mackeral but mainly 1-2lb with just a few fish 2-5lb.
Weather is picking up again for tomorrow which delays the Smothound another day :(
Get your rods out summer is almost here so come down and have a chance to catch a welsh record Smoothy.
