    Report on-board Size Matters

    Pwllheli marina has done an excellent job dredging the marina and entrance.

    We now have 24 hour access to the marina on neap tides and now only restricted to 1.5 hours either side of low water on spring tides.

    This now means we can operate even more efficiently with sensible sailing times especially helpful to anglers traveling from far and wide.

    The Tope fishing was hard going with only 2 to 6 Tope per day but the last three Tope trips have been good with 41 Tope caught to 46lb and twice as many dropped.

    At the moment we are still using frozen mackerel because it seems to be out fishing everything else, the Tope are very finicky when taking the bait making it much harder for anglers to set the hook and keep the line tight at all times.

    Thankfully we have caught Tope on everyone of our Tope trips, long my this continue.

    The wreck fishing has been amazing in the last few days some anglers are catching a fish every drift mostly Pollack to double figures, with a few Coalfish and odd Ling.

    The biggest Pollack was caught by Stuart Pilkington a cracking fish of 15lb 4oz and a new Layland & District fishing club record.

    We did have a very poor trip last week we had some guys on from London who wanted to go wrecking, the first wreck had plenty of small Pollack on to 6lb, I decided to try and find a better stamp of fish for the lads, as we went further off shore all the wrecks had fish on but would not feed.

    Then I decided to go over 50 miles out to try and find feeding fish, only to come across French and UK war ships with helicopters hunting a submarine on exercise.

    I know from fishing out of Plymouth when the Navy use the top secret sonar equipment to hunt submarines the fishing becomes very difficult indeed.

    On that day we hardly seen any sea birds, no dolphins or seals that we see every day sailing from Pwllheli.

    Sadly we are fully booked in Pwllheli for the rest of the year, we do have dates available for Skate fishing in Scotland.
