Report on-board Bad Boyz VI
Fish caught over this last weekend -
Dogfish, Bull huss, Thornback ray, Pouting, Poorcod, Grey Gurnard, Tub Gurnards, Ballan Wrasse, Cuckoo Wrasse, Whitting, Pollack, Coalie, Codling, Dragonet, Dab, mackeral and Long Spined Sea Scorpion.
Best fish being a 14lb 11oz Bull huss.
The weather has been very up and down if late, Strong southerly winds which have been an average of 10-15kts above forecast has kept us in right behind the breakwater and down to Rocky Coast but still a great day can be had scratching around the many reefs and rough ground patches on the drift and at Anchor.
This week see's the tides increase moving the Tope onto the feed down in caernarfon bay and the Smoothies locally to holyhead, looking forward to a fun week on the water with settled weather!
As we get a rubby duby trail going for Tope on Thursday we'll be trying for garfish and mackeral on the lighter tackle, a bit early for gar's but as Gareth over on Spindrift recently landed one who knows!

We fished some inshore wrecks and had pollack to 10lb and coley to 4lb. Good size huss, whiting and odd gurnard on the bottom. Pollack, coley and wrasse on the reefs. Whiting and dogs as well inshore.
We do trips midweek at very reasonable rates.

Hi all ,I have just arrived home from a wrecking trip out of Holyhead Angelsey on board Bad Boyz skippered by Aaron.I am 66 years old and as you can imagine, I have been on countless trips some of which have been negative and some that where positive .Today's trip was a good one and clearly ranks in my top ten since I started fishing, we caught a lot of good quality fish ,mainly Pollack but getting fish is only part of a good trip, The service, expertise, knowledge of the job and a deep desire to ensure the customer ( us anglers who pay the money) get satisfaction and quality. I came off the boat feeling 100% satisfied which is something I have not done for awhile.
Bad Boyz delivers all round quality if that is what your after then get a trip booked with Bad Boyz out of Holyhead.
Thanks Aaron for a truly splendid day. View Boats Page

Out again today weather still very windy but again the high cliffs off Amlwch give you good shelter in high south to southwest winds enabling you to fish in deep water 150 feet where most species are. Cancelations in these winds are rare so you will get out often at a reduced rate so everybody is happy. Please ring if you are cancelled elsewhere or book a trip either wrecking or ground fishing on a very large comfortable 40 foot aqua star loads of room. The wrecks are now producing fish

on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

Report on-board My Way 2
Had a day on the boat myself on Friday 12th May. Bit of a spring clean in the morning, tidying up the cabin, that looked like a battlezone following a few great weeks of angling. The weather was fine though, so it called for a spot of relaxation and fishing. A few hours afloat with friend Keith was called for, nothing too hectic, just a spot of smoothie fishing.
We’ve had a few hounds already this month, but it is this weekend that I class as the traditional start to our hounding season. We weren’t disappointed. I wouldn’t say it was hectic at all, slow in many parts, but we did land a good few between us. However the weather was calm, we ate like kings and put the world to rights with a few laughs along the way.
Keith was the first to catch using a Shakespeare Agility Sea Tipster with Penn SSV 5500 fixed spool reel, the same combo available daily as a prize during our smoothhound challenge. His first hound of 2017, estimated at 14lb and a great start to our fishing.
Another reason for wanting to get afloat was to take a look at the Penn Rampage 9ft Bass Spin rod. I ordered a couple from our sponsors Pure Fishing, specifically for the smoothhound sport that we get from Holyhead. The rod, rated 15 – 55gram is as described a Bass rod, but handled correctly had the potential to offer some superb action for anglers aboard My Way. Taken from the Penn website … They sport a progressive semi-fast taper action, but with a stiff butt to provide long range casting performance with lighter lures. Fitted with Fuji rings and an aluminum reel seat.
I partnered the rod with another Penn, this time a Battle 4000 small fixed spool. It took a couple hours before this rod had an enquiry from a hound, but the reel and particularly the rod performed superbly well. Initially the reel was set with a fairly light drag, allowing me to get used to the rod with a small, but still hard fighting smoothhound on the end.
Managed to land another small hound on the rod later in the day, but still no double, sure that will come over the next 6 weeks.

Hi out today very breezy although at Amlwch plenty of shelter by cliffs allowing you to get a trip fising in deep water (150 feet) plenty of Huss dogs whiting dabs.too much wind to drift reefs without loosing loads of gear .water now has a bloom in it but should go shortly thus making the mackerel difficult to find. Cheers Roy
