    Report on-board Supreme

    Myself,Dad, Stuart, John, Mick and Tom booked a trip out on Supreme 2 charter boat out of Rhyl, after keeping an eye on the forecast all week, it seemed the weather gods were on our side for a change.

    Called the skipper the night before to confirm the trip was on, Stuart, kindly offered to take us in the 8 seater taxi, well we thought it was kind till the cheeky swine put the meter on ...................... no, fare play to him it was a good crack going down in a taxi, wouldn't like to pay a real taxi, £272 there ONLY!, shocking you taxi drivers!!!!

    First stop was the cafe for some hot bacon and sausage, and then headed down to the slip, Prior to boarding the vessel we decided to throw £2 each in a pot for the biggest fish of the day to add a bit of fun.

    Met Steve the skipper at the slip way at 8:30, set sail in lovely seas.

    With plenty of bait it was time to move to our first mark about 7miles off shore, where we were fishing a sandy bottom at about 60ft managed to catch dabs, gurnad, and scad

    With the tide and wind on our side the skipper decided to try a wreck about 11mile off shore, so upped anchor and headed out


    Had a few drifts over it, and caught cod, ling, pouting

    Steve dropped the pin so we could fish it at anchor, the fishing was excellent, everybody was catching, whilst Steve were heating up some nice pasties, and making a brew.


    As the guy across from me caught a conger, my plan was to catch myself one.............. So on with the mackerel flapper,............... soon after i was into a good fish, got it to the boat but unfortunately it slipped the hook before we could boat it,.................... estimated at 20lb, If you watch the video you can hear Stuart jinx me, He shouted "Its gone"

    I think he was just annoyed because the old wreck would not budge from the sea bed,.................... dont think it ever will now, the amount of lead he put in it.................... Ahh well I thought I'm still in with a chance for the pool with my cod, only to get thrashed by john with this 7lb 2oz ling

    The ten hour trip was worth every penny of £38, the skipper was excellent he put us right on to the fish, between us we managed 13 species and all managed to bring some good fish home.


    The craic was unbelievable ,never laughed so much, the weather was glorious and I will definitely be booking another trip,


    Here is a few more pictures of the day, and the video of my conger?

    what do you guys think? can i say i caught a one?
