After close monitoring of the weather this morning, we decided to run our planned Charter.
We set sail at 8.30 and stopped for a drift just North of the end perch for an hr or so. This produced some fantastic sized Mackerel and plenty of Gurnard.
Once our Anglers had their fix of Mackerel we decided to head off to Prestatyn to see what we could catch.
On Arrival the 1st Smoothound was landed and by the time we had to leave, we were well into double figures. There were also a few small Tope and the catch of the day was a beautiful large Bull Huss caught on a single trace with a 6.0 hook loaded with a whole Mackerel flapper.
We head back towards Rhyl and stopped again for a few more Mackerel with the last 15mins. Plenty more Mackerel and a solo Whiting.
Very happy Anglers and the rain & breeze did not dampen the Day -

Today was scheduled for a planned maintenance day but a last minute request came in yesterday evening with a Father wanting to take his young children for a couple of hours mackerel fishing. I could not let the children down and decided to run a quick trip for them inshore at 8am with flat calm seas forecast.
We sailed 1mile North of the Harbour entrance and were inundated with Jumbo Mackerel from start to finish . There were also a nice handful of Gurnard landed by the smallest guy on board and he was made up. There were however double figures of Lesser Weaver but swiftly set free.
Once the fishing session was over, we set sail for home with a Proud Father, 3 happy Children and a Bucket of Jumbo Mackerel for good measure.
Families are very Welcome on Merlin and we believe it is important to get families with children out enjoying the sea and learning the skills of Angling.
For Enquiries, please get in touch. -
