    Report on-board My Way 2

    21/08/2012: Had the pleasure of finally getting out boat fishing this year and fishing with Gethyn is always a good day afloat. We had 7 on the boat, me and 4 mates and a Father and his young son, and set sail at 8 a.m. and set off for Church Bay. There was a threat of the wind being a problem, but we were lucky in the bay as the wind held off for a few hours. The fishing was in the bay was good, a few bits first, Dabs, Dogs and a few Red Gurnard too, but I had gone with a Crab bait as Gethyn said he'd had a few Smoothies of the weekend. I didn't have to wait long and I was in to my first fish of the day fairly quickly and it was a Smoothie....Awesome. I was made up with that, so you can imagine how pleased i was to have a few more. My friends Martyn and Craddock both had a Smoothie and so did the young lad who came with his Dad whilst in the bay. My mate Dom, on his first time out, also had a Huss and although it was the smallest Huss i have ever seen, he didn't care because he was absolutely loving every fish he caught. After a Great session at Church Bay and some might fine Rib-Eye steak ciabatta's, we headed off for a drift, which i didn't think we would get away with today, but Gethyn took us in to the shelter of North Stack and it was game on. I had a Cuckoo and Ballans and another cuckoo fell to Martyn and it was great for me, because i love drift fishing. We had a move to fish the wall of the breakwater and i had another Ballan and Dom had a good tussle with his first Pollack. And, as ever, these things must come to an end, but what a fantastic day out, some good fishing, great company and fantastic Skipper....and my mate Dom has caught the Bug now, i can tell you, hahahaha!! Many thanks Gethyn. Carl Burns
