They`re here in Numbers !
No need to spend ages steaming over the horizon and more time fishing !
At last the cod have moved inshore. Over the weekend we had good Cod to the boat including specimens of over 12 lb, lovely fish for so early in the inshore season. We fished both days on a patch of rough ground just outside the Goodwin Sands. As well as the cod we had a few nice smooth hounds to 9lb and lunker bass.
Well done to Steve K`s and Russ C`s parties on their catches of coddies, hounds and bass. Fish hard lads and the results do come !
Things bode well for the Autumn season ! View Boats Page

A Tripple personal best
Posted by mick on September 28, 2009
Edit This
This weekend has seen some excellent fishing but on Sunday a group of anglers from Newcastle between them managed to break three records
after wreck fishing all morning and bagging plenty of nice ling and a few cod I decided to head for the ground and in no time the fish were having it, a cracking ling of 15.2oz came up for young Jack and a personal best for him well done mate,the other anglers heads were down and not wanting to be out done by such a young lad (as they had a sweep going for first and second heaviest fish of the day) the very next drift Wayne fishing at the back of the boat and with a fishing rod about 1 meter long
( no joking the rod had been broken on several previous ocasions,)
hit into a whopper the stumpy little rod with no end eye was nearly bent double the fish gave a good account of it’s self with Wayne puffing like steam boat and eventually up came another two personal bests one for Wayne and another for the new sea urchin 2 a ling of nearly 24lbs
well done lads and I look forward to seeing you all again soon View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
20 Sep 2009 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Last Saturday, 20th September saw us set sail with the first of our autumn/winter fun matches. Weather conditions were great for what we class as fun filled matches more than serious angling competition – sunny and warm is always a good way to start a day afloat. With tides of 32’ upon us the fishing was to be kept fairly local to Holyhead bay, with the maximum distance offshore being a slack water over the mussel beds.
Despite the fun element, the day was planned to test the anglers slightly with varied fishing over different grounds. Our day started approximately a mile from Holyhead breakwater on a small bank of mud that has a tendency to throw up all manner of species from dogs and whiting, to huss, rays and tope on occasions.
Fishing started well for most on board, whilst not hectic a constant stream of dogs, whiting and poor cod came over the gunwales, broken only when a cry of haddock came from Gareth P on the port side. Having already reached 50 species for 2009, Gareth was soon camera and species card in hand to record his 53rd specie of fish from British waters in 2009; a great achievement.
Pete Minns added 2 haddock to his tally, and quite possibly the smallest codling I have ever seen; speedy our old Goldfish was bigger!!
With the tide book showing slack water at 1230 we moved to the mussel beds for 1130 to catch the last of the flood and hopefully a few huss. Sadly though, my timings or the tide book was slightly out! More to do I think with the large tide of the day, with slack water upon us, we had a brief 45mins on this mark before the tide ran through like an express train. After a fruitless mud anchor, Simon finally got into the action here with dogs and whiting. A few dogs and whiting later, with a solitary dab for Jon, we upped anchor to go onto the drift for wrasse and a few pollack.
Drifting over the shallow reefs around Holyhead is a firm favourite of mine, and a style of fishing we’ll always partake in during a day afloat. With the big tides and slight E wind we opted for a west facing patch of rocks where we spent an hour in search of wrasse. Ian was the first to land a small pollack, not in size for the pan, but as we were fishing Catch & Return all size of fish count – 6 points for Ian. Gareth P recording the only goldsinny of the drift
The trio of Gareth P, Pete Minns and Jon Law catching consistently throughout the drifts, with Jon catching the rocks as many times as he caught a fish. Good fun as it is, drifting can sometimes become a little disheartening when snag after snag tackle is lost, slightly more disheartening for Garth P this time, who decided to snap his 6lb rod in the process!!
After our drift, we sheltered from the large tide in Church Bay. Here the fishing was consistent, with dogs, whiting and a few huss coming to the baits. Jon was slowly sneaking away with the odd dogfish adding 4 points apiece to his tally when Gareth P appeared to be struggling with a good bend in his fishing rod. Assuming a decent huss, it went slightly better for Gareth when his rig broke the surface with a brace of dogfish and a small huss attached.
Standing with his back to his rod, Pete Minns relayed yet another interesting joke to us all as Jon and I watched his rod tip bounce into action. As the rod started to bend over and the ‘fish’ appear to take line, we thought it best to let Pete know he had an enquiry!
After 10 minutes of action on Pete’s SuperSensor2 fishing rod, a small smoothhound of around 8lb broke the surface, attached to his size 6 hook, baited with a small slither of squid.
For a couple years now, Pete has tried to break his smoothhound virginity with a double figure smoothie aboard My Way. Despite being aboard as many smoothies have been landed and also despite helping others with rigs, bait and bait presentation – Pete’s mission for a smoothhound of his own has failed. Well maybe sometimes we just try too hard and when you’re least expecting ….
Simon, having suffered a fairly poor day with us so far, managed to catch the second smoothie of the day. Made more satisfying once again as it was another first ever.
With half hour to go, Pete had dropped back slightly, possibly due to the excitement of catching his smoothhound, however it was honours equal between Jon Law and Gareth P, not a fish scale separating them both. Once again it was touch and go for each angler as they matched each other for fish. Finally Jon got the break with a double shot of dogs, followed by a bull huss to edge him 7 points clear as the final whistle blew.
Unlike a Home Game for Man Utd, we play to the correctly allocated times!

17th Sept.
North Easterly winds easing at last ! Nice big tides this weekend should see the start of the proper inshore cod along with a better stamp of whiting.
Probably the best months of the year, Sept/October for a proper lunker Bass.
