    *Fishing Report 29th March 2024*

    Today saw the very 1st trip of the 2024 Rhyl Season for a 5hr Individuals sailing at 10:15.
    We departed Rhyl and headed East to see what we could hook and the weather at the time was mild and calm.
    Once we got on location we dropped the anchor, put the kettle on and dropped our baited lines down to see what we could summon.
    Not long in the 1st Whiting came on board followed by a very early Smooth-Hound which is a promising site so early in the year.
    As the fishing was quite steady we stayed at this spot in the hope we may get a few Bull Huss over the slack and even maybe a Ray or two.
    As the tide eased right off we had our 1st Huss and the young chap was made up with seeing Starfish and Whelks clinging to the baits and passing on his extensive knowledge of them 'he knows his stuff' fare play to him.
    As the tides started to pick up on the ebb we noticed a considerable change in the fishing and the catches were coming on more. By this time we had already had Whiting, Dab, Dogfish, Smooth-Hound, Bull Huss and soon the 1st Ray.
    A 10min squally shower late on didn't damped our day and then a a decent Huss was hooked and as the net was grabbed it was lost at the surface.

    Our 5hrs of fun was then shortly up and we head back to Rhyl Harbour.

    Not a bad 1st trip of the season at all.
