    Report on-board My Way 2

    As May drew to a close our attentions turned to the influx of quality sized smoothhounds on offer.

    For what we lack in numbers aboard My Way (a normal day averaging 15) they certainly make up in size, with the catches to date averaging the 12lb mark, with the best fish landed topping the scales at 19lb. that said, 2 definite 20lb+ smoothies were dropped on the surface – too light hook lengths or simply me too slow with the net.

    I argue the first case!


    The smoothie fishing however has slowed down the last week with the change in the weather. Hopefully the NE east blow we are currently experiencing will help bring them back on the feed, that said, armed with hundreds of quality welsh fresh peeler, a smoothie assault is on the cards fairly soon.

    Fishing has continued to be brisk, with additional to the smoothies, ballans plus plenty of cuckoo wrasse, huss, dabs, whiting, pollack etc and the wonderful north Wales Tiger Shark, aka the dogfish all in abundance to add to a trip.

    Ray numbers are on the up however seeing boxes being landed at the marina yesterday may soon put paid to that, some people have no shame; never the less we’ll strive to put our guys on to the fish.

    Fingers crossed for coming weeks and settled weather and great fishing for you all.
