    Report on-board Luna-Sea (Merlin)

    ***Fishing Report***

    After a poor week of weather, we finally got out today with Individuals on an 8hr sailing from Rhyl at 8am.

    We had to get out a few miles before reaching clear water where we drifted for some Mackerel. The Mackerel were coming in steady and a varied range in size.

    After approx 40mins of drifting we head NW of Rhyl Flats Wind Farm to the Rockies where we dropped the anchor and fished the bottom.

    Straight away the first of many good sized Bull Huss was landed which weighed in just shy of 9lb. Followed by a very feisty Large Tope which was unfortunately lost at the surface due to snapping the braid line.

    Then......... a Merlin 1st!!! Not one but TWO Red Mullet were landed which are rarity and a pretty special catch in this area.

    We steadily fished the Rockies for approx 4hrs producing plenty of Dogs, whiting, Mackerel, Red Gurnard, Tub Gurnard, Bream, and Huss.

    We then decided to head to pastures new during slack water and ended up settling once more just NE of Turbine N°1 on RFWF. This produced pretty much the same but more quantity of Gurnard and Whiting.

    With the last hour of fishing time, most reverted back to feathers for some more Mackerel and a good idea it was too. Our final hour produced some fantastic Jumbo Mackerel and the only Dab of the day.

    At 3.30pm we recovered the anchor and set course back for Rhyl Harbour with a boat of very satisfied anglers who were a fantastic bunch and a pleasure to have on board.
