Just a quick one to let everyone know how the fishing is doing, had a trip yesterday for Rays and general fishing, Stoped on a few reefs for the first hour or so with a fair few Pollack and Colies coming to the boat 2-3 at a time nothing of much size between 1-3 lb with the odd one 4-5lb with the mackeral no where to be seen, With a breakfast of sausage, egg and onion butties on the go we headed for the banks to try our luck for a few skate but once anchored it was a matter of seconds till the first Doggy!!!! was on the boat, with a ridiculous amount of them around and a few Dabs and a 10lb Huss thrown in, the Rays were just not getting a chance so we decided to head back to the reefs for the last 3 hours, We tried a few reefs to the south but with only a couple of small fish coming up, so we made a decision to head to South Stack with Pollack to be the target fish, Once we arrived the fish were coming to the boat thick and fast from Pollack, Colies, Codling, Wrasse and the odd Mackeral with the last drist producing a nice Cod of around the 6lb mark.
Fishing update Plenty of Pollack, Coalies, Codling, Wrasse and a few Mackeral on the reefs. Anchor is producing Dogies, Huss, Whiting, Dabs, Plaice, Codling, Rays and the odd Tope with the smoothounds arrving anyday now and a report from the local tackle shop telling us that a few are coming in off the shore. -

Had the regualar guys down from Buxton wanting to try their luck on the Ray and Turbot marks. With the conditions perfect we set to sail at 0900hrs with the usual brew and biscuits on the go. We arrived to the first mark at 1030hrs with no tide so we had to move out a few miles were there was a bit more of a run with plenty of fish coming to the boat Dogs, Whiting and Dabs but not what we were there for, after the tide had turned the Rays started, with the next 40mins producing 10 Rays two just into double figures, then we thought we would have a move to try for the turbot, but after arriving at one of our marks the tide was hardly moving which was obviously not going to be good for our day on the Turbot, we perceiveered for half an hour but with nothin doing so we headed about 20mins back towards Holyhead to have a last anchor, with Dogs, Whiteing and Dabs still coming to the boat it was time to start the journey home.
Not a bad day for the Buxton lads with their first trip for a Rays being a success, and we are looking forward to seing them next month. -

Had a bunch of 7 guys from stoke up for the weekend out fishing and staying in our bunkhouse. We readyed the boat at 8:30 awaiting the arrival to set sail at 9:00, Beautifull day yet again with perfect conditons for which we had been asked for a general days fishing. We started on a few local reefs about 5 miles from port which produced a couple dozen Pollack and Collies around the 2lb mark then headed a few more miles down to try a well known mackeral mark (mackeral rock :D) still early on yet but did manage a couple strings of large mackeral with a few mixed pollack and whitting then time came for anchoring up for slack water so we headed a couple miles further to try a slightly rocky area, within 5 minutes of baits going down fish were on thier way up with plenty of Huss, Dogs, Whiting, dabs and Codling with also the first Tub Gurnard of the year the lads were kept busy right through till after the slack. Once the tide picked up we moved in 2 miles to anchor into a rock to try for some more Huss. After an hour we had plenty more fish with a few Huss and again about a dozen Codlings, We then started to work our way back stopping off on a few reefs which produced more Pollack and Collies with a few 4-5lb ones thrown in. All in all plenty of fish, best of the day was a 12lb 3oz Huss, Fishing is getting better every trip now with all the species moving in, with the mackeral just around the corner.

Had a group of 7 guys across from near liverpool who wanted to try thier luck on some rays and turbot.
We set of at 8:30 with the kettle and biscuits ready whilst we had a 20 mile steam down the coast to some sand banks. The weather was perfect for a day out, on arrival we threw the anchor down and all our baits went down with the kettle on again. Fishing was steady all day with some hectic patches, we moved around a few times to vary the fishing. The day ended with 2 Turbot 3 Rays plenty of Whiting and Dogfish with a dozen or so Dabs and Plaice thrown in on some small baits. All in all not a bad trip to the banks for a first of the year and still early on. Mackeral showing anyday with 1 being caught so far, Pollack and Wrasse have made a show with the odd Tope run at anchor.
