Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

Report on-board My Way 2
October has been a very hard month afloat. High gale force winds have only served to cancel most of our days afloat. That said when we have sailed, the fishing and the banter has been second to none, with some exceptional catches for the time of year.
A day afloat was just what was ordered for regular My Way lads from the Rafa Club on the Wirral. We had already cancelled this trip last August due to high winds, so fingers and legs were crossed that the weather wouldn’t disappoint and the fish played ball. Fortunately the weather all week was looking good and with a set of neap tides beckoning, a trip out to Holyhead Deep was on the cards.
Well the fish were informed, and all aboard were treated to a fair number of tope and huss in the deepwater; excellent fishing for the middle of October. Inshore we set about drifting and had wrasse after wrasse – a great end to a good days fishing. Wondering if it was just a good day afloat, I returned a few days a later with a crowd of Paramedics from Conwy area.
With such a stressful job, these guys really wanted a day of rest and plenty of fish. Once again the sun shone down and the winds stayed away. We started our fishing for the day were we left off with the Rafa guys - on the wrasse.
Plenty of obliging wrasse came to the gunwales - ballans up to 3lb and a few cuckoos and corkwings to add variety. With our venture to the deeps nearing, the lads soon stowed away the small scratch rigs and broke out the big guns. 150lb mono and 6/0 to 8/0 hooks. It looked like they meant business, bigger fish is what they wanted now.
It wasn't long before Bryn Thomas called for the net after heaving what looked to be a dead weight from the 200ft murky depths of Holyhead Deep. Fortunately for Bryn, it turned out to be a double figured thornback ray - pictured right. As the day went on Bryn also managed to add huss & tope to his double figure haul. Despite other tope being landed around the boat and spurdog to 14lb, it looked as though the day was to be Bryn's, with the heaviest tope.
After 3hrs in the deeps, the tide increased in power and we were starting to struggle to hold bottom. As I called for lines up a cry of "I've got a bite" came from Jason on the port side. Ok, 5 more mins I relented.
Seconds later the line screamed from Jasons reel as he hooked into what appeared to be the best tope of the day. Thus the 5 mins turned into 30mins as Jason took time to play his 40lb shark to the side of My Way.
On October 17th we held our Fish for Courtney sponsored fishing event. The whole day was an overwhelming success and helped towards a total now nearing £7000 for 3 very good causes http://www.goangling.co.uk/2009/Gallery51/gallery51.htm

They`re here in Numbers !
No need to spend ages steaming over the horizon and more time fishing !
At last the cod have moved inshore. Over the weekend we had good Cod to the boat including specimens of over 12 lb, lovely fish for so early in the inshore season. We fished both days on a patch of rough ground just outside the Goodwin Sands. As well as the cod we had a few nice smooth hounds to 9lb and lunker bass.
Well done to Steve K`s and Russ C`s parties on their catches of coddies, hounds and bass. Fish hard lads and the results do come !
Things bode well for the Autumn season ! View Boats Page
