Report on-board High Flyer 2
Todays forcast was brilliant very light northerlys decided to do a bit of distance north ended up 12 miles up the coast to a bank, well proven skate hot spot hoping for a early bit of luck. Unfortunately only a spotty dog and dabs played ball there for us. The wind started to be a pain turning east making it lumpy decided to head in anchored up on a old favourite spot of mine caught whiting from the off with few small codling and decent flatty. Moved right back inside the Roads as the wind was blowing totally different to the forcast god knows why they cant get it right nowdays bloody annoying. Still catching under size codling and few keeper whiting, well done to Stephen for releasing sizable codling for another day nice to see a bit of conservation going on, maybe we would all have better sport if we all took a leaf out of his book? The day ended up mainly with small fish probably caught 40 to 50 undersize codling in all plus whiting being the usual pain, a spotty dog and couple of dabs. Big thanks to all the lads for enduring the morning rain and the longish journey out there, didnt take many photos as mostly small fish but pictured here is James Houlder with a cracking pound and half possibly 2 whiting best one of the day. In all not a bad day for this time of year hopefully all these small codling will return end of the year alot bigger and worth catching. Thanks again to Stephen,James,Richard,Matty,Chris Carter and Chris Merrison, Dave ,Shannon champion dab catcher and Chalky.See you all soon. Cheers. Jon. (High Flyer)

A day out with Josh and family headed to a regular mark with hopes of a few codling which had been reported over the past couple of weeks, dropped anchor with a couple of hours of the flood left within a few minutes the first fish was landed a nice sized whiting followed by plenty of undersize codling and a few more whiting until slack water, the ebb started with a few more whiting and the first sizable codling things quietened down as the tide started to race, as the tide started to ease again we had a good flurry of codling to 5lb plenty more smaller ones ending up with 8 sizable codling to 5lb approx 15 undersize a 1lb pouting and half a dozen good whiting a very enjoyable day had by all.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Mar 2014 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
March 01st, St Davids day saw My Way set sail for the first time in 2014.
Our original first sail was two weeks earlier, however with the weather remaining so bad I took the decision to leave My Way in the yard, safe and sound whilst winds up to 100mph pounded much of the UK. It's fair to say the weather has been atrocious for a very long time now, as eager and excited as I was to get afloat and fishing again I was also nervous at exactly what our day may deliver.
Aboard My Way I was joined by 5 regulars, who have become good friends over the years and also 4 new guys to My Way, all of whom were experienced boat anglers, a nice mix of crew who undoubtedly could pull out a few fish when needed. A reasonable forecast for the most of the day, picking up to a force 6 towards the end and together with a 32ft tide our fishing was restricted to within Holyhead Bay.
First off was a drift in search of a few pollack, coalies and maybe some herring. We had a perfect drift, right alongside our rock mark with the breeze slowing the boat down nicely at the end of the flooding tide. However 40mins of trying and our efforts returned a big fat zero, not even a bite for the efforts of all on board.
The thick brown water wasn’t helping the situation to be honest, but never the less we should have had a few fish or bites even. A change of tactics was required and I decided to moved off to the mussel beds to anchor up, a little early for a 32ft tide, but this was getting critical now!Banter and a few risky jokes wasn't enough, we needed fish.
Upon anchoring, we had a good flow of tide and we all eagerly waited the fish bite. A few false knocks and over exuberant 'strikes' it was 15minutes before the first fish came to the boat. Using his rod and reel with effortless perfection local angler Dave, slowly retrieved his catch whilst everyone else stood in awe at his angling brilliance. After what seemed like an eternity it was with great relief to see Dave lift into My Way the best looking ….... 8oz whiting I'd ever seen before.
Rock N Roll, we're back on the money ….
OK, not that exciting, but as most the guys concluded, it's March, weather's fine and we're out. The fishing remained slow on this mark, a few whiting, mainly pin size and dogfish.
The odd double shot coming over, the first to Cheshire angler Pete Minns, who insisted on a photograph for his scrap book. Brooksy with a little help from his friends soon witnessed a dogfish on his rod.
As the tide started to gather pace and making it uncomfortable to fish anymore, we upped anchor and I decided on a move further inshore and try for a few rays. We ended the last few trips of 2013 with an abundance of rays and despite that being a few months back, late Feb and early March is when we start the new influx of thornies and the odd spotted into the area. Sadly this move didn't work out, dogfish and a solitary dab were all that we saw. We did though enjoy lunch, a big fat breakfast butty is always a good call when afloat. More so on a cold early spring day and naturaslly washed down with plenty of tea or coffee.
So anchor up again, this time to a muddy area around 1 mile outside the harbour. The tide should have slowed down sufficient to allow a fairly reasonable fish for all aboard. This mark soon had everyone who tried pulling out a few fish. The vast majority being dogfish and better whiting. We managed a few more double shots, of dogs and whiting but no triples. The dog or whiting trend was broken on a few occasions with small bull huss and also a nice ling of a few lb. Not a sight you see often when anchored up on a muddy piece of ground.
In all it was a great day afloat, fishing was slow, can be for the time of year.
But the day passed quickly. A few fish, a few laughs with friends all together with food and drink made for an enjoyable return to being afloat.Fingers crossed now that we are over the worst of the weather and the UK angling industry can get back on track.
2013 was a great year aboard My Way however I'm looking forward to better times through 2014.
Looking forward to seeing many of you through the year.
Thanks

on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Skylark
Not A Bad days Winter fishing.
set off at 11 am in glorious sunshine and the sea was like glass. when we got to our first mark of the day and dropped anchor we were greeted by a couple of porpoises passing. fishing was slow to start with then Owen got the first cod of the day, a 2 lb Cod which he decided to return back.
As fishing was slow we decided to move to another spot and we managed to get a few more Cod out all around 3 lb.
Dave Shaw managed to catch his first Codling which was just over 3lb.
it would of been nice to get a few more fish but it was a brilliant day to be out fishing as the weather was great and the company was even better, a great set of lads to fish with.
looking forward in taking you all out again

We anchored and as soon as we had settled the lads started fishing Fossil was the first of the day to land a Codling unfortunately for him it was unhooked and quickly returned to the sea as it was under size the lads fished well all day. they ended up catching 25 codling

They enjoyed it that much that they booked the only have day we have left before we lift out for maintaince before we start offshore fishing in April dates are still available for this summer.
