Report on-board My Way 2
The end of 2015 and first 7 weeks of 2016 has seen wind after wind ravage our shores. Most of the UK has suffered with the relentless onslaught together with an unbelievable amount of rain. We cancelled far too many trips the back end of 2015, with storm force winds a seemingly daily occurance.

I took My Way out of the water earlier than planned last season and took the time through the poor weather to get many jobs done, all in anticiaption of a great start to 2016. That didn't quite go to plan, with the first 4 weekends of bookings lost to the power of the wind.
However we managed to get afloat week last Weds, on a small 4hour trip with two families, all looking for their first taste of Anglesey fishing, albeit during February and amidst some awaful wind. Fortunately they brought some great weather and took to fishing with such a enthusiasm it was refreshing to see
Over the weekend 28th & 29th February we managed to grab two whole days afloat. The fishing was fairly good for the time of year and weather. Most rods returneed a fairly regular supply of dogfish, whiting and huss, mixed in with the odd strap conger, codling, pollack and coalfish.
On the Sunday the easterley wind had abated so after a fish filled isnhore few hours we managed to move off to some deeper water. The fishing wasnt hectic, with everyone trying big baits in the hope for some early spurdog action. We were rewarded with a couple spurs and some huss, together with the obligatory dogfish.
Fish numbers, I must admit to being fairly pleased with the quantity being returned, likewise on species, given the weather and time of year, it's not too bad a start. Looking forward now to bigger and better as the season gets into full swing.
