Report on-board Flamer IV
JUNE 2012 - The Reef fishing is very good and producing lots of different species like Bull Huss,Black Bream,Tope,Smooth Hounds,Conger,Rays,Cod etc.A recent trip saw David Lockwood from Leeds,Yorkshire catch his first ever Tope which weighed 30Ib,the Tope was weighed,photographed and returned alive.The successful bait was a squid and mackerel cocktail mounted on a pennel rig.David is pictured with his Tope.David lost a big fish that took a bait he intended for Bream.With Reef fishing you can put down all sorts of baits,rigs and you are never always sure what species of fish is going to take it next which always keeps Reef fishing interesting.David also caught his first ever Turbot while drifting a bank.
REEF/BANK TRIPS on FLAMER IV with place/s available - July 4th,5th,19th,22nd,23rd,

Report on-board Mistress
Whitbyseaanglers.co.uk/forum - Forum Competition
Luckily there was a break in the weather to get the long awaited and anticipated trip in, conditions started fine, and deteriorated through the day, conditions were perfect for teasing a big fish out with very little drift all day.
All the lads fished hard and caught plenty, and Im sure they enjoyed their day.
On Mistress we saw plenty of fish which were of good stamp, and a wolf fish which was a bit of a rarity, but good to see all the same. I didnt picture all the good fish we had onboard, as there would have been loads of photos!. A massive well done to all who fished, and also a big thank you to all involved for your continued support.

Fishing Report by Carl Davies
on Gwen-Paul-M (Conwy, Conwy)
15 Jun 2012 by Carl Davies
Report on-board Gwen-Paul-M
We are seeing consistently good fishing on the offshore wrecks for pollack and sometimes cod. Pollack are running in the range of 3lb-9lb and cod 2lb-6lb. Odd coalfish are also being taken.
The spring algal bloom has died off, so the water has cleared and mackerel are now widespread in numbers. We are even seeing launce mixed in with them for those using shrimp rigs which provide a deadly livebait for the pollack.
Pollack have been falling to variety of colours, however on Wednesday, rhubarb and custard 4-6 inch sidewinders took the lion's share of the fish. Ground fishing is producing plenty of bull huss with the odd thornback and tope mixed in.
Grahame made a great dish onboard the other day...a twist on sushi! He mixed chunks of skinned raw cod with coriander, mild chillies, and red onion, with lime juice to part cook the fish. May sound a little odd but it tasted great.
Weather is still proving challenging at times however calm spells inbetween the storms give us chance to venture out.
I have room on various trips which are all listed however if you have another date in mind, please feel free to give me a call or drop an email.
Regards,
Carl. View Boats Page

Report on-board Skerry Belle
At last the water temperature has hit the magical 13degs! and boy has this bought the bass on the feed! Alan and Gary took advantage of our June special (see top of page) and booked the whole boat for a days bassing and boy they wasnt disappointed. Some good bass landed and some even better ones lost. (unlucky Alan, that was a good fish.) Still some good hounds, skate, showing on crab and squid baits. Don't forget all my trips inc. rods, reels, tackle and some baits. 4hr bass and mackeral trips now in full swing (phone for times and details.) Still have some dates available for all day trips in July and August. Very Tight Lines, Roger.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Craig Welford and a few of his mates from Gala Casinos in Teeside joined us on the Shy Torque today.
Sadly the weather wasn't too good this morning, the wind blowing from the North yet again!! The fishing was a little slow to start but as the breeze slowly eased the fishing quickly increased!! The lads only turned up as a 6 team and unfortunately 3 of these fell victims to the old "mal de mer" !! After a couple of hours steady cod fishing the other 3 decided it only fair to return to port. What gentlemen !!!!!!!!
Pictured is Craig Welford with his best cod of 10lbs. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Jun 2012 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Following the success of our Smoothhound challenge competition in 2011, this year’s event was extended to 2 days and run over the bank holidays of the Queens Jubilee celebrations. The aim of the Smoothhound Challenge is to simply catch the heaviest hound of the trip.
The main prize each day was a Fladen IM8 sensor tip rod, perfectly matched with a Fladen Maximus 444 sized multiplier reel. These prizes, along with baseball caps were kindly donated to us by Fladen UK.
2nd and 3rd places each day were to receive baseballs caps and a selection of fishing rigs from both Fladen and GO Angling.
With the event being well received last year, the 2 bank holidays were booked fairly quickly, so we decided to also lay on an evening trip for the hounds, with the heaviest caught being eligible to win the ‘overall’ prize of 2 Gift Vouchers for a fully inclusive day aboard My Way.
Day one and we set sail in calm seas and bright sunshine, not the best of weather when hunting out the hard fighting small sharks. It was a good few hours before we struck into the first of the day. Kev had never landed a smoothhound before, so a 10lb 7oz specimen was a brilliant start to the challenge and a specie for Kev to tick off his list.
Colin was the second to call for the net, this shark looked to be a lot bigger than Kevs as it swam deep in the water and refused to come to the surface. After a powerful struggle, Colin’s hound was netted, with the weight coming out at 16lb 9oz.
A further 3 smoothhounds came to the boat, with only Dave coming the closest with a great double figure hound of 16lb. This was made all the better for Dave as his pb hound currently stood at around 8oz, having landed a tiny starry whilst beach fishing on the each coast.
That evening we set sail for 4 hours with a mixed bag of both experienced regulars and anglers out for the first time afloat. It wasn’t long before Tom hit into his first hound, followed closely by his mate Dave, both recording hounds of 12lb 8oz. Paul Coulthurst was next with a hound just sneaking into double figures.
After which Robin, on his first fishing experience persevering with smoothhounds as his girlfriend Danielle reeled in dogfish and small codling, struck into the biggest of the night with a hound of 14lb.
It looked to be in the bag for the evening for Robin and as I called lines up & started My Ways engine, Gareth P called fish on and proceeded to play and eventually land the biggest hound of the evening and a new pb at 16lb.
Day 2 and we were greeted with a damp and miserable day; light rain was going to be with us for the majority of the day. Still, with what we considered to be better conditions than the previous day, we set sail with great anticipation. In all we managed to land 12 smoothhounds during the7 hrs we were fishing, however from the crew of 8 the day was real owned by Dan and Paul who between them landed 8 of the fish, taking 4 apiece.
3rd place went to Gareth P, who couldn’t better his 16lb smoothie from the previous evening with a hound of 9lb. In second place was smoothhound expert Paul, again fishing the Tuesday following a try the previous evening. A hound of 12lb 8oz saw Paul walk away with a baseball cap and selection of rigs from Fladen and My Way.
The actual 2nd place fell to Dan, however he bettered his hound of 16lb 11oz with a cracking specimen that topped the scales at 18lb 130z, winning Dan the 2nd IM8 Super Sensor Rod, 444 Maximus reel and with the heaviest fish of the challenge 2 fully inclusive Gift Vouchers for a days fishing aboard My Way.
Not electrifying fishing this time around, but given the changeable weather conditions we were all happy to get afloat and catch a few hounds over the 2 days.
The My Way smoothhound challenge will return once again next year during the Spring bank holiday and the following Tuesday, book now to avoid disappointment. View Boats Page
