*** Fishing Report 30/4/21***
Today Merlin departed Rhyl @ 11:00 bound for an inshore 5hr session off Prestatyn with a party of 4. The weather was flat calm with a light NW breeze and clear sunny skies.
We dropped anchor on location and fished the bottom with flappers and flowing traces baited with a mixture of Lug, Squid and Mackerel.
Soon after the 1st lines hit the bottom we were into the fish pulling in the first Smooth-Hound.
The fishing was constant from start to finish and a good mixture of species landed.
By the end of the session we were well into double figures of Large Dabs, Smooth-Hounds, Dogs, Whiting and Bull Huss. The Huss were ranging from 6lb to the very impressive 18.4lb wopper! A PB for our seasoned angler who caught him.
Just before we departed, a lovely brace of Flounder were reeled in which capped off a wonderful afternoon of inshore fishing.
Sadly the time had come to lift the anchor and head back to Sunny Rhyl and we arrived back in the Harbour @ 14:00 with a very happy bunch. All of which have booked again for next week in the hope of another cracking day of angling.

Report on-board Four Reasons
Hi all, We came out of the water in November for winter MAINTENANCE!!, we were due to be lifted back in April 12th but due to travel restrictions, people from outside the area were unable to work on their boats, so we have now been given a date to be lifted back in 12th May, so we will look at starting trips from Sat 15th May, due to social distance we will only have 4 people per trip until restrictions ease, hope you understand that this will increase the individual price, thanks Richie

Report on-board Luna-Sea (Merlin)
*** Fishing Report 27th April 2021***
Today Merlin set out for her 1st trip of the season with the maximum 6Anglers permitted. The weather was forecast to be fresh but turned out to be a lovely calm but overcast day
We departed Rhyl @ 9am for a 5hr trip and head towards the North Hoyle Wind Farm.
Once we arrived on location, we drifted for a short period in the hope of some Mackerel but to no avail (still slightly early in the season yet)
Once we dropped the hook, we were into the fish, fishing steadily for a good couple of hours. Plenty of Whiting, Dabs and an abundance of Dogs. One angler was well into double figures.
We then decided to head back to Rhyl and set anchor just off the End Perch. This proved to be a good call as the fishing improved and a lovely Smoothound was landed as well as a good sized Whiting.
Once the time was up, we made our approach and arrived safely back in Rhyl at 2pm with a happy bunch on board.

***Fishing Report 11th December 2020***
Merlin set sail @ 09.30 today for a wreck session.
We head out 11nm to a wreck of a steam coaster ship and fished a steady few hours sweeping the whole wreck.
There were a good few Pollack, Pouting Whiting and Gurnard caught and a PB Pollack for one of our Anglers.
After 4hrs on one wreck we steamed 4nm west to our next wreck for hlf hr where we had more pollack before heading back to Rhyl harbour in the dark with amazing light trails through the water.
The weather today was flat calm, beautiful rainbows and a lovely still passage through Gwynt y Mor windfarm.
Everyone on board were happy with their catch and a good few meals.
Most of the fish were returned to fight another day which is good to see.
We still have availability throughout December so please call Sarah on 07863774909 for bookings. View Boats Page

Hi fishing still ok at Amlwch inshore wrecks in shallow water producing well. Tope still present the larger ones well inshore and smaller pack Tope offshore a bit not far away 1 mile out. Bullhuss in abundance most days but odd day can be difficult. Mackerel still present often in great numbers. Tub gurnard now showing every trip usual this time of year. We are still running with social distancing but a very large deck area on 40 foot Aqua Star helps to keep you safe. We fish 12 months of the year in the open sea for all species .

***Fishing Report 02/09/20***
Today was meant to be a 10hr Charter of 6 @ 11:30 but due to the unfavourable forecast we mutually agreed to make it just a 5hr @ 09:00.
We set off towards North Hoyle and briefly stopped at Chester Flats for some Mackerel bait but the wind started to gust 2hrs earlier than forecasted so, with just a handful of Mackerel and a realease of a couple of Lesser Weaver we set course for Prestayn Barkby Beach for a Smoothound session in the shelter of the Southerly wind.
On arrival, the fish were coming in nicely producing double figures of Smoothound, Dogs, Dabs, Whiting, Huss, a lovely 39cm Sea Bass (unfortunately 3cm too small to keep☹) and a (Strap) Conger Eel.
@ 13:25 we set off back to Rhyl with yet another bunch of happy (but wet) Anglers.

***Fishing Report 01/09/2020***
Today we left Rhyl on a 10hr Individual Trip towards the windfarms.
Went stopped NE of Rhyl Flats for a Mackerel drift and caught a glimpse of a lovely Large Whale. Unsure of type as it only breached the water just the once but all on board witnessed so no one missed out.
We then head towards Rocky 1 to drop the anchor and there were plenty of Red & Tub Gurnard of a mixed size.
After just 1hr at Rocky 1 we decided to go for a few sweeps over some wrecks as the fishing was less than steady at this point other than Mackerel and Gurnard and Whiting.
We had a good few drifts over the Dublin and Penstone wrecks catching Pollock and Pouting whilst one our Anglers had his whole rig taken into the wreck by an unknown species.
Then it was time to head for the Ocean Monarch for the turn of tide.
Once we dropped the hook we steadily fished Huss, Thornbacks, Dogs, Whiting & Mackerel until it was time to set course for Rhyl with fading light and a spectacular Large red moon over the hills.
We arrived back at Rhyl @ 21:00 with satisfied Anglers & plenty of fish after a lovely day of sunshine and flat calm seas.
