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 )

2 July 2011, Just had another fantastic day on the Supreme, once again Steve the skipper put us right on the mark for a great days fishing. We had 7 nice Tope between 10 of us, the biggest tipping the scales at 47lb and lots of other species to keep us busy for the full 10hr trip. We were well looked after as always, and steve was really patient with some of the lads new to fishing, especially the young son of one, whom steve spent time with showing him the ropes.
Thanks Steve for a fantastic days fishing on Supreme 2.

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 View Boats Page

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! View Boats Page

Fished today with Chris Chawro`s party from Stourport on Severn. Weather perfect to start (for a change) light SW winds and sunshine, though it did cloud over in the afternoon with some drizzle. After trying two different marks the Mackerel came aboard in good numbers with enough for the day being caught in 10 mins. At our first mark the Smoothounds came to the boat in decent numbers with novices Rich Carter and Matt Turton getting amongst the hounds, at our second mark Dan Chowra stole the show with some nice Thornbacks, back to our original mark for a last go for the hounds were Steve Todd finished off his catch of 6 hounds with a nice fish of 15lb 4oz. An enjoyable day with the boys also catching Dabs, Bull Huss, Gurnard, Turbot and Tope.

After what can only be described as another week of mixed weather we managed to get out on friday 24th for a general fishing trip John and crew on from St Helens and Warrington.
Trip started with a wet ride out to the mark to drift for Mackeral mission accomplished plenty for bait then on to the nominated mark .
species caught here included huss to 12lb,dogs ,whiting,dabs,2 thornback rays,tub gurnard,red gurnard,weever,mackeral,herring.
As the tide slackened the fishing dropped off a move was made to another mark near by looking for the fast moving tope we were not to be disapointed 9 fish in the boat the biggest falling to Jimmy a nice fish of 47lb .
Poor Adam got wet on the way out and was sick for most of the day but did manage a drop in with a tope bait and was rewarded with a nice fish of 25lb.
look forward to seeing you later in the year gents View Boats Page

Well what can I say June started great and has now gone to pieces the weather has gone pear shaped again just when the Tope are really coming into their own showing up on some of the old marks from years ago.
On one trip Ken Dooley from Liverpool had a pb with one of 36lb and also had a pb smoothhound of 10 lb on the same trip check out the video on my face book under supreme sea services.
another group of lads from liverpool 6 in total 5 of which had never been boat fishing before managed to boat 11 tope to 35lb and we must have lost just as many at the boat due to their eagerness to try and bully them in.
just hope the tope are still about when this weather settles again View Boats Page

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! View Boats Page
