    Report on-board Bad Boyz VI

    Another weekend of poor weather watched our boats fish in Holyhead bay.
    The bay is producing plenty of Codling, Dabs, Dogs, Whitting, Pollack, Coalies, Wrasse, Bullhuss, Gurnards, Spotted rays and a few Thorny's ,Blondes, Mackeral, Ling, Rockling, Sea Scorpion, Pouting, Poorcod, Goby for when you species hunting.

    Tuesday the 29th With perfect weather and a perfect tide we decided to to head around to South Stacks Reefs to try our luck, once arrived there was plenty of Pollack, Coalies, Wrasse, Codling and Mackeral coming up so we stayed around for a couple of hours to fill up on Mackeral for bait and a few fish for the table.
    After trying a few more areas which was still producing the normal suspects we then steamed offshore to try a few Reefs and Wrecks with the tide easing and after a few drifts over the first mark it produced and few Pollack to 8lb and Cod to 6lb we headed to a wreck a few miles further which produced a few more Pollack to 6lb we decided to stick the anchor down for the last hour to try a few big baits not far from the side of a wreck.
    After 15 minutes all hell broke loose with almost every rod bending over double and battling away the first Spurdog came to the net closely followed by 7 more Spurs then a couple of Tope and Bullhuss came aboard.
    With time running out we had to up anchor and make our way back to Holyhead and with everyone tucking into a nice bowl of hot pot we totaled the days fishing and with a big success to only catch 2 Dogfish !
    Looking forward to the Wrecks and Reefs again on the 30th!
