Fishing Report by Mike Jones

Our fishing club went out with Alan Jones skipper of the Happy Hooker for our annual Bass trip and he didn’t let us down again. Alan even managed to sort out the weather, at 7.45 am we arrived at the quay side on a bright sunny day. Access to the boat is now very easy thanks to the improvements at Saundersfoot Harbour.
We set off and steamed out past Caldey Island where Alan found his mark. Tackle was a flowing trace with live Sandeel the drifts were short and we were soon into fish. With the quota now only 3 bass by late morning we were just about bagged up. Alan then took us to a different mark were we finished the Bass and took Pollack, Gurnard, mackerel and of course the ubiquitous Scylorhinus canicula or better known locally as the Swansea Dog.
Alan was yet again on top form with his wit and keen to provide advice to ensure we were all maximising our opportunity to catch fish, tea and coffee were plentiful as well. We would thoroughly recommend Alan and the Happy Hooker for any skill level be you an experienced club fisherman or novice, good value for money. -

Sunday 12th May weather cold and wet sea lively, small trip with only three concentrated on the inshore marks, the inevitable dog fish plus some large smooth hounds, bull huss and one tope. No mackerel showing yet to any extent but they must be very close. Weather looks poor til Thursday, hopefully we can get out and have another crack at them.

Another Season about to start first forays out to the marks, show promise herring sprat and flatfish are abundant along with the inevitable LSD.
The odd thornback plus plenty of smoothhound and spurdogs available if you have crab, or squid catching the odd one or two. The Mackerel are starting to show up but very patchy, they should improve day by day.
Easter just around the corner if the weather improves will fish daily from now on. -

Weather still cold with these North westerly winds, but mackerel shoals increasing daily although the herring and sprat are also being caught, still some good whiting caught on baited feather.
Thornbacks and blondes now moving on to the banks with large quantity's of Bull Huss over the rougher ground. Bass up to 5lbs now being caught in the tide runs, the early Tope should alsostart to show in the shallower water as they come in to breed.
High winds after tomorrow might put an end to deep marks for the next few days but will continue to fish the bays and sheltered waters. Eel tanks now maturing will soon be tripping with live bait as the bass start to show on the reefs. -

March 27 fished close marks plenty of fish, flounder, whiting dogs and small bass, the Mackerel are just starting to show but in small numbers this weather should bring them in very soon in quantity. sjhaols of whitebait in the harbour so if the bait fish are here the predators will not be far behind, looking forward to a good Easter, fish baits are producing the most fish but worm also quite productive.
