    Report on-board Size Matters

    The big Welsh girls have started to arrive in Cardigan bay and we have been catching some big female Tope.

    Our biggest Tope was caught by Alan Bates from Manchester, the Tope was heavily pregnant so we decided not to weigh the fish to minimise stress so we measured the girth 31 inch and length (tip of nose to fork or the tail) 55.5 inch puts it at 66lb 6oz and is a new personal best for Alan well done, sorry the photo is not the best but we didn’t want to lift the fish too far off the deck and it was during the night so that doesn’t help to make a good photo.

    Other Personal best Tope where caught by
    Paul Williams 50lb 10oz,
    Dave Jones 45lb 8oz,
    Mark Thomas 42lb,
    Robert Bamber 41lb,
    Steve Williams 38lb,
    Alan Jones 34lb,
    Kevin Marples 33lb,

    The Tope fishing has been very hit and miss on some days we are catching one or two other days we are catching up to 14, the lack of bait fish means the Tope are always on the move and no area has fished well two days in a row.

    This has seen us moving five or six times per day trying to find the Tope, as more bait fish arrive the fishing will get much better and more consistent, from now till the end of June we hope to catch some very big Tope.

    We have also started to catch the first Black Bream of the season along with Huss to 12lb, Grater Weaver, Ballan Wrasse, Pollack, Coalfish, Whiting, Scorpion Fish, Dogfish and Thornback Ray.

    The wreck fishing has been excellent with our last trip producing 101 Pollack to 9lb 8oz with most of them averaging 5lb to 6lb for Layland SAC.

    We have also seen fishing groups making good use of the mini bus return service from Liverpool to Pwllheli supplied by SDH Travel.

    Sadly we are fully booked in Pwllheli for the rest of the year, we do have dates available for Skate fishing in Scotland during November, December, January and February.

    Thanks
