    Report on-board Bad Boyz VI

    Weekend of the 9/10th of April.
    Sun, Sea and lots of fish, The Saturday we had a full boat of lads wanting to catch as much fish as possible and to be able to relax in the sun at the same time.
    Started with a few drifts around South stacks with plenty of Pollack, Wrasse, Coalies and Codling up to around 4lb coming aboard on feathers and a few Warsse rigs, After a couple of hours drifting we steamed round to Trearddur Bay to anchor up for the slack with the decision made to try maen piscar, within lines going down they were already coming up with Pollack, Coiles and codling before hitting the bottom so we dicided to hang around for the rest of the day to try a few big baits later on in the day to try out luck with a few Huss which was the right idea with well into double figure amounts of Bull Huss coming up and a few ling around 4-5lb.
    We ended the day with 19 Huss, 32 Codling to 4lb 10oz, Ling, Pollack, Pouting, Coalie, Warsse, Dogfish, Whitting and a few Dabs which totalled just over 200 fish.

    Sunday 10th,
    One thing in mind for the day HOLYHEAD DEEPS, which saw us leaving at 7 ready to head straight off for the 10am low water, Upon arriving Dogies were hitting the big baits instanly but soon as the tide slackend the fishing started to become mental with every drop producing either Huss, Spurdog or Tope the action was none stop for 3 hours (so busy took an hour to make a brew !) after the tide had picked up we had a couple of hours fishing left but with the guys a bit tired after all the hard battles the thought was a few leisurely drifts on the inshore reefs would be the best way to carm the day down but yet again once arriving at the reefs only produced strings of fish instead of the calm fishing we hoped, after over a hundread fish coiming up we had a 10 minute break which was kindly interupted by a hug pod of Dolphins jumping across my bow as i was heading to another reef so a few great picture opportunities for the lads, after a few more pollack off the last reef we called the day to an end with the sun still shinning and pictures to look back at one of the best days for early April we have ever had !

    No Mackerel as yet but have heard of reports about them only 10 miles away :D
