Report on-board Incentive
We had a full 12 hours to play with today.
Wind much fresher than forecast which made some challenging conditions for a good while this morning.
The lads cracked on and pulled out some nice fish though.
They all landed tope up to the 40lb mark. 1 fish decided to get tangled and come in backwards to the boat with me carefully handlining her in...to then untangle her self the boat and take another 100 yards of line for another scrap! We did very well landing that one as the skin had started to fray his mainline!
After the lads had their tope fix we tried an inshore wreck where they all went home with a feed of Pollack and a solitary codling fillets. There were plenty of coalies hitting the feathers too, but only to around 1lb and a half.
Current operating procedures due to covid mean I am running private charters only with a max of 5 customers.
Prices whilst running with limited numbers are £200 5 hours. £300 8 hours for the boat.
Rod hire £5pp. Lugworm £3 a pack. Or feel free to bring your own tackle and bait.
If i am allowed to carry more passengers then individual trips can resume and I can allow more people onto charters with prices adjusted accordingly.
Thanks. Jack.

Hi Anglers During last week Tope fishing a lot of them about this year especially now. Offshore as many as 30 out in one day various sizes 12 lbs to 35 lbs. But inshore some real monsters turning up not in as many numbers but very large ones in excess of 50 lbs with a lot lost with bite outs. Mackerel still bit iffy at times especially on spring tides but plenty of whiting and the Tope taking them well. As many Bull Huss as you want as well often a nuisance when Tope fishing. Pollack coalfish wrasse on reefs. Individual and whole boat trips available PHONE 07974477081 or MESSENGER ON FACEBOOK PAGE ROY SMITH

Bit of a lump on today so plan A wasn't an option to get further offshore.
So we got plenty of mackerel to start off with for bait and went after the tope. Between the 5 lads in around 5 hours of fishing for them they had between 25-30 running well above 45lb. Plus plenty of dropped runs and snap offs. The tope fishing seems to be on fire at the moment!

Still under lockdown at moment. But gave the boat a run Tuesday with my son which I,m allowed to do.Between 2 of us caught about 60 cod between 3 and 7 lbs . Loads of pollack and coalfish all returned except two because of very good cod fishing. Matthew caught a large tope on a lure very good fight thought we had broken pollack or cod record when it took. Once you allowed back into Wales get in touch to secure a good tide at very reasonable rates to get catching
the fish. Cheers Roy 07974477081 View Boats Page

Report on-board Bad Boyz VI
Another great season from Liverpool, an unrivaled venue for the west coast ��
We had cod to 10lb 8oz, Rays to 12lb 1oz, whitings 2lb +, Congers to 10lb, dabs, flounders...
We managed to sail 51 times, for a tally of 1377 Cod with all bar 6 in size (35cm) I do however run catch and release up to 42cm as a 35cm codling is not worth taking....
This put our average day catch at 27, although there were plenty days better and rightly so plenty of worse days!
We failed to catch a cod on just the 1 trip, The main reason for this was the sheer volume of rays taking pure lug baits within seconds of them hitting the seabed! I stopped counting at 75 rays with a couple hours to go �� Scottish Alex had his hands full fishing 2 rods with Rays on both several times!
On the other end, Our best 2 days afloat had a Cod count of 55 and 53, certainly an improvement over the last couple of years.
Our best fish went just over the double mark @10lb8oz, much smaller than previous years of 15lb +
We had a good run of 5-10lb fish from late October to mid December, The lack of larger fish was apparent thereafter however the numbers of 2-5lb fish that soon arrived really made up for it.
We will be back on the river late October, if you want to secure a certain tide or start time then don't leave it too late... We already have 20 out of the 50 available days booked ����
For those asking, we start back from Anglesey April 1st.
Our main targets throughout April will be the large shoals of spurdogs that lay around Holyhead deeps ��
As always, thanks to everyone that supports us and puts fish on the deck ����������
Tight lines, skipper Aaron View Boats Page
