    Report on-board My Way 2

    I've just spent two days aboard my way targeting spurdogs in the Holyhead deeps.
    Ok the first day it just wasn't happening for me and at one point I was nicknamed the doggie king lol,
    That's not to say it was only dogs that came to the boat,the other lads enjoying some superb action landing some cracking Spurs and Huss most well in to double figers.
    Then it was a move in shore for a spot of general fishing in the afternoon and the boat was kept busy with ray's, Huss,polock,cod,whiteing, oh and plenty more dogs for me! I think it was because I stuck it out all day with big fish baits hopeing for a better fish and it just wasnt my day and the dogs were to quick, but that's fishing!
    On the second day it was touch and go if we would make it out to the deeps, the wind had picked up a fair bit from the flat calm Sunny day before but in the end it was decided it would be safe enough as the wind was not forecast to get any stronger to make the trip.
    This time we steamed out to a different mark up to the north, and it was on the way out that I remembered something Gethyn had noticed and commented the day before the two biggest spurs came on identical rigs and bait.
    So I nipped in to the wheel house and Gethyn sorted me out with some of the rigs wich he ties himself and some advice on how best to set the hook and bait to use the end result was my first ever and new personal best spurdog a cracking fish well into double figers and the biggest fish of the day, I was absolutely made up and will remember the day for a long time to come, a big thank you to Gethyn for his advice and lesson learnt (again) Always listen to the skipper he KNOWS WHAT HE'S ON ABOUT!!
    After that it was more of the same and a harty dinner of sausage black pudding and baked bean sandwiches (ooh there good!)
    We steamed back in for some more general fishing in the afternoon,where we enjoyed another good mixed bag of fish.
    So i would just like to say that I can't recommend a trip on My way enough great fishing good food a good bit of banter with the crew and a skipper that knows what he's on about.
    I had a great couple of days and can't Waite till next time.
    tight lines Mark.
