Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

Report on-board My Way 2
The month ahead - July
As we enter July, we tend to say goodbye to the large influx of smoothhounds around Holyhead and Trearddur Bay. They can still be caught, but not so much as a targeted fishery, with average sizes now at only 8lb. July often signifies the start of some great and varied fishing around the bays, with many trips giving up to 20 different species of fish in any one day.
Many trips start drifting around the coast for a selection of different species that include Pollack, Cod, Mackerel and 5 different types of wrasse. IInshore drifting for such hard fighting species can be great fun, especially when using light gear. Fishing waters of around 45ft using spinning rods and similar you feel every bite and dive from your fish. For those not having such rods and reels and wanting to 'test the water' fear not, we have a selection of superb rods from Yuki & also Hart from Tronixpro available free to use. Coupled with some excellent multiplier or FS reels your enjoyment is almost guaranteed.
At anchor the bigger targets inshore include Bull Huss, rays, strap Conger, smoothies and the odd Tope ... with sizes varying for all from the very small to those well into double figures. Double figure Bull Huss for example are regularly seen from some of our favoured marks. Thornback rays are also present along with the odd Blonde ray and Spotted ray.
If weather allows we'll travel to the famed Holyhead Deep we will almost certainly be targeting bigger Pollack, Spurdog, Tope, Bull Huss and Conger. Drifting around the wrecks we have the potential for some great Pollack, few of which go well into double figures.
At anchor we tend toi think big -- tope, spurdogs huss and eels. A great draw for many anglers, it is always recommended that everyone tackles up on the big side, and goes all out to land specimen sharks. There are other species to be had, Whiting, Dogfish and Gurnard the most prolific, but these are also achievable inshore, no point in missing out when in the deeps. As with most fishing trips travelling offshore we need a few elements to fall in our favour, neap tides and calm weather the most important.
Competition Time
We have teamed up with the guys at Tronixpro and World Sea Fishing to bring you a great competition. Starting late July, everyone fishing aboard My Way in coming months is in with a chance to win a superb light boat Rod & Reel combo! There will be one available each month for July, August, September and October.
Look out for more details, available soon on our website and via our Facebook page.

Two Day Isle of Man Trip
We had a two day Isle of Man trip booked this weekend on Sunday and Monday. It was a tough decision as to whether to put the trip on or not as the forecast gave strong southwest winds on Sunday afternoon. However less wind on Monday would mean a more comfortable day to travel back home to Conwy. So we left for the Island on Sunday morning.
We fished a few wrecks in the shelter of Anglesey but fishing was slow with a few pollack up to 6lb. The wind freshened as forecast so we decided to make a dash over to Port St. Mary and arrive a couple of hours early extending the day on Monday when the weather was forecast to be more favourable. We arrived in Port St.Mary to be greeted by a bustling harbour wall full of people and stalls. The annual queenie festival was being held that weekend. Queenies are basically a small scallop and the lads took advantage of some great food stalls to recharge after the hard trip over the Irish Sea.
The following morning as forecast the wind had altered direction and decreased. We fished some of the reefs and wrecks around the Calf of Man which produced steadyish pollack fishing to about 4lb. Many fish were taken on live launce which we caught on a sandbank just off the Calf.
The wind continued to decrease and allowed us to start our journey home via 4 or 5 wrecks. About 8 miles to the south of the Island we spotted many gannets and shearwaters working. We stopped and had the best mackerel fishing I have seen so far this summer. A couple of the lads had smoking boxes at home so were very pleased to catch some for smoking.
The pollack fishing was steady, with fish up to 7lb. We also had one ling.
The wind continued to decrease for a pleasant passage back to Conwy. We were also treated to a display from a few dolphins as we drew closer to Anglesey.
The weather looks unsettled again for the next couple of days but by the end of the week it finally looks to be settling down for a few days. View Boats Page

Report on-board Seren y Mor
Same old story weather playing havoc with the fishing here. When we do get out the smoothounds are really thick on the ground everywhere, crab being the top bait of course. Bream are showing in decent numbers when the weather is a little more settled but mackerel are very patchy. Bass are now showing in good numbers and the rays are also numerous on the offshore banks so lets hope we get some sort of summer in July. Photo is of Peter Griffiths from The Naval Club in Port Talbot with a decent bass.

2013 Fladen Smoothhound Challenge
With bad weather cancelling 2 days of our 2013 Smoothie Challenge kindly supported by Fladen Fishing UK we had another 2 rod and reel combos up for grabs. To continue with the theme of the heaviest hounds, we decided to run the comp through June. We managed to catch a great amount of hounds, with the vast majority in the mid teen area .... we also caught 6 that went over 20lb in weight, magnificent fishing by all those involved.
However there can only be two winners,
Tom Reay 24lb 5oz
Neil Harrison 23lb
Runners up …
Graham Ellis 22lb 10oz
Peter Hamilton 22lb 5oz
Tojo 20lb
Did I mention I also had a new PB at 24lb 10oz
Many thanks to Fladen for their support once again this year, very much appreciated.
