Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Jul 2013 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Towards the end of June we had a few poor trips, with the weather not playing ball we were unable to get afloat on a few days and those we did on occasions suffered through lack of species required – mainly the hounds. But that’s how fishing goes for us sometimes and we battle through with the thoughts of some great rewards. As we planned to say goodbye to our annual smoothhound season we wanted it to go in epic fashion and not fizzle out as slowly as it had started, left with a few days mid-week to make the most of the tides and continual arrival of fresh peeler crab we set out with only hounds on our minds. Thankfully, the hounds were game on and we were treated to just short of 50 double figure hounds, including 2 over 20lb and many in the small 8lb bracket.
Both 20lbers fell to anglers having a play around with the Yuki Manacor rod from Moonfleet Angling in Gateshead. This 4 piece senor tip rod comes complete with 4 interchangeable tip sections, rated 1,2,3 and 4 oz. Primarily used for smaller species that require delicate bite detection this rod is equally at home when landing powerful and hard fighting 20lb plus smoothhounds. Graham had a new pb of 22lb 10 oz, beating his previous of 22lb 3oz caught aboard My Way 2 years ago.
Inshore the fishing was also improving, at anchor a variety of species were helping the anglers to some great mixed bags. Many ticking off a whole host of species required for personal and club species hunts. The wrasse that had been missing for what seemed an eternity finally started to arrive in numbers through July; nothing too big at the moment but a fairly plentiful amount of both ballans and cuckoos for most anglers to catch along with the odd corkwing and goldsinney.
In July we set in motion a new competition for anglers aboard My Way – a tackle give away with thanks to Tronixpro and World Sea Fishing we have 4 x HTO lure game rods (2x25grm and 2x50grm) all 4 with Daiwa megaforce FS reels up for grabs over coming months. These rods are free to use aboard My Way when on the drift for the likes of pollack and wrasse or at anchor for a variety species. Initially the only requirement was that the angler baits up from a selection of Isome lures as supplied by WSF tackle. Photographs to be uploaded to our FB Group and at the end of each month July, August, Sept and Oct, all anglers’ names for that month will be placed in a pot and one recipient drawn at random to receive a rod and reel combo. However with the slowness of the wrasse and mini species this year it was decided to allow anglers to use either Isome or bait as they wish – providing they catch using the HTO Lure rods, they’ll be automatically entered into the competition. This is a free give away with great thanks to TronixPro and World Sea Fishing. GO Angling Charters decision is final!
I reported last month on some of the superb fishing we had experienced in Holyhead Deep, with double figure pollack over the wrecks, along with huss, spurdogs and small tope. Hopes were high that July wasn’t going to disappoint! Again the weather scuppered our plans on occasions but when we did get out there we were treated to some great fishing, both from the drift and anchor work. The pollack fishing was on occasions hard; we caught on most drifts but only one or two. What became apparent when gutting our catch for the supper table was that they were all stuffed full with sandeel. It seems the pollack were already filling themselves with bait fish before our arrival. Bites were delicate and fishing tough as the pollack seemed only to snatch at our lures as they passed their heads, the pollack never really needed to chase the lures or hit them hard in any feeding frenzy.
At anchor the fishing was more hectic with everyone looking to target a shark from either huss, tope or spurdog. Without doubt the most prolific was the spurdog with the vast majority of specimens going well into double figures. Simon Coyne from Manchester bagging another near welsh record aboard My Way with a fantastic spur of 19lb.
Our biggest huss for a few years fell to local rod Dave Craddock when he landed and then made a great attempt to get to grips with this monstrous 17lb 1oz bully.
Fact is we've had some great fishing around our small part of north Wales over the past few weeks, you simply have to be out there to be in with a chance!
Thanks to everyone who helped make it fun, and cross fingers for some more great fishing to come! View Boats Page

Report on-board PLAN B
Fished Friday / Sat and Sunday and what a contrast..
Friday was slow - very hot and muggy - the fishing only picked up when we managed a nice lot of hermits in the drop net. This got the smoothounds interested and resulted in numerous fish in the 7-9lb bracket. We tried for skate with fish baits during the slacker tide but did not get one. On the return to port, I spotted birds working a distant sand bank.. we feathered for about an hour and managed around 70 bass. Brilliant fun and made up for the slow day.
Saturday was a fresher day and the fishing was good from the off with loads of hounds and also skate, nearly every fish caught on hermit.. I tried with peeler and did not get a bite and changed to hermit and had a hound in 30 seconds. Looked for the bass again, but did not see one !!
Sunday was a total write off - strong SW winds kept us close to home but I thought we would still manage to catch the skate and bass on the banks.. how wrong can you be. We were top boat on the day with one eel and 4 school bass.. lets see what next weekend brings. View Boats Page

Report on-board Supanova II
Some cracking sport from Weymouth in June and July.
The wrecks threw up some cracking Cod and continued decent Pollack but the biggest surprise was 3 Coalfish in a week! These beautiful creatures used to be common some 20 years ago from Weymouth but in the last 12 years I have seen just one until this year, maybe they are on the comeback!
The wrecking in the last week has started to tail off, attention will now turn to the inshore stuff which has also been good. The smaller tides have produced some fantastic Plaice fishing with Supanova's first 7lber falling to Pete Green from Bristol. A cracking fish and one I have been waiting a long long time for.
Bream in the last week has really come to life both on the drift and at anchor. When drifting we have been picking up some cracking Red Gurnards and at anchor a nice few undulates and tope.
The Shambles has been a little bit Patchy but with Turbot and increasing numbers of Brill still there for those that wish to sit it out.
This last week's spring tides has seen some cracking bass fishing with live Mackerel best fell to Mark Coker with a fish of 10lb 7oz.
The weather until now has been superb which we are all very grateful of down in sunny Weymouth, we are also very very grateful of the continued support all you anglers give us. Keep it Up!!!!
Picture are me and my Dad with my first ever Blue Shark caught on a bus man's Holiday to MIlford Haven recently.
We fished with Nick O'Sullivan on Celtic Wildcat. Great boat, Great skipper if you want the sharks he is the man without a doubt. His details are on this site.
Tight LInes,
