Fishing Report by Simon Logan

Report on-board Deep Blue
Saturday 30th March:
Bank holiday weekend started off with a windy Good Friday, and the outlook for Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday isn’t looking all that fishable either.....
So, with a little weather window today we headed out to see what’s what with 8 willing crew. Some say - that fishing is good after storm. I say BO***CKS. Especially after having the dredger in the harbour for the last week kicking up a load of silt into the inshore marks.
As expected, the water was murky, even several miles out. Anchor fishing with baits hasn't been all that good this winter, so that wasn't plan A. The plaice have all buggered off (for a now at least) with the dredger's presence too. Drifting the reefs was sloooooow during the flood tide, with only a handful of fish being seen.
Anchoring (plan �� produced more fish, just not the ones we were after. So, a tough days fishing, until the tide turned this afternoon and the wrasse started to play. Lots of these toothy beasts landed in the last hour.
Species:
Pollack
Ballan wrasse
Goldsinney wrasse
Smooth-hound
Bass
Dogs, whiting etc etc...

The smooth hounds are improving in numbers week by week now. We had some great fun on a breezy trip the other day. There were no giants but several 5-9lb fish as well as hoards of whiting, dogfish and a few rays. Andy was top rod with 13 hounds and 3 rays to himself which can't be sniffed at let alone on a windy day.

Report on-board Galloper
I thought I'd do a little reminder of last year's plaice fishing. We had a couple of sessions on them in late spring and early summer. The stamp wasn't huge but the numbers were there and probably the best I've seen for over 15 years. There were plenty of double shots of plaice and various other species mixed in too. We tried to combine it with some bass fishing at one end of the day or the other as well. If you want to join us for some of this fishing or on one of our general trips please get in touch with me and I can offer specific dates and tides.

After a whole week of bad weather we finally got out today for a 5hr and 8hr double shuffle.
As always after a spell on NW winds the fishing was a little slow inshore on the 5hr but managed plenty of Dogs, Whiting a few Mackerel, a Red & Grey Gurnard and a baby Tope.
The 8hr trip proved much more successful with plenty of Mackerel, Dabs, Whiting, Huss, Dogs and another Grey Gurnard. For the last 2hrs we head inshore for a go on the Tope and were rewarded with a lovely 36lb male just as we were about to head home.
*please note all Tope are handled with care and returned unharmed*
Our diary is now filling up and we only have limited availability. If you would like to book a trip, call Sarah on 07863774909 to arrange a trip before it's full. View Boats Page

Today was an 8hr Individual trip with lots of fish and banter.
We started inshore chasing shoals of Bass and plucking some great fish on every drift amongst the working birds.
Once we had our fill we head out to the windfarm where we drifted for bait fish before dropping the Anchor for Rays which kept all on board very busy with 20+ landed.
To end the day nicely we fished the last hour inshore for Smoothies before heading back to Rhyl.
A great mixture of fish with a total of 12 species landed which included Bass, Mackerel, Scad, Herring, Whiting, Dab, Dogfish, Tub Gurnard, Red Gurnard, Thornback Ray, Smooth-Hound and Bull Huss.

Today we had a crew of 8 individuals on an 8hr trip.
We started with a few drifts inshore for Bass but to no avail so head out further in search for our fresh bait.
Once we had enough fresh bait we dropped anchor and fished for Rays which kept all on board very busy indeed and a total of 39 landed. One was very unusual as it had a major deformity possibly from a previous injury.
Once the tide eased off the Bull Huss were also coming out to play.
We finished our day off close inshore where a few Tope took the fresh Mackerel baits. The biggest of the day was a modest 21 lb but what a cracking fight that gave.
Species Caught Today: Mackerel, Herring, Poor Cod, Scad, Dogfish, Whiting, Thornback Ray, Bull Huss, Tope .

*Fishing Report 29th March 2024*
Today saw the very 1st trip of the 2024 Rhyl Season for a 5hr Individuals sailing at 10:15.
We departed Rhyl and headed East to see what we could hook and the weather at the time was mild and calm.
Once we got on location we dropped the anchor, put the kettle on and dropped our baited lines down to see what we could summon.
Not long in the 1st Whiting came on board followed by a very early Smooth-Hound which is a promising site so early in the year.
As the fishing was quite steady we stayed at this spot in the hope we may get a few Bull Huss over the slack and even maybe a Ray or two.
As the tide eased right off we had our 1st Huss and the young chap was made up with seeing Starfish and Whelks clinging to the baits and passing on his extensive knowledge of them 'he knows his stuff' fare play to him.
As the tides started to pick up on the ebb we noticed a considerable change in the fishing and the catches were coming on more. By this time we had already had Whiting, Dab, Dogfish, Smooth-Hound, Bull Huss and soon the 1st Ray.
A 10min squally shower late on didn't damped our day and then a a decent Huss was hooked and as the net was grabbed it was lost at the surface.
Our 5hrs of fun was then shortly up and we head back to Rhyl Harbour.
Not a bad 1st trip of the season at all. View Boats Page
