The fishing at the moment is as expected for the time of year... whiting, dabs, dogs ,a few codling and a few huss. If the weather stays mild the fishing should improve towards the end of the month with the start of the summer species arriving. Fingers crossed for some settled weather!

Report on-board Excel 2
WOOHOO !
The fishing starts NOW !
After a winter rest and a repaint for the boat we're back and in action .
Cod and pollock are showing on the wrecks and the Cod and Bass fishing will only improve over the next few weeks.
Lots of Skate are showing inshore and over the next few weeks the Early Big Bass will show inshore.
The inshore rock marks will fish well with either peeler crab or Lug/Rag baits for Bass.
Herring/Bluey or Squid baits will work best for the Thornback Rays that are prolific at the Goodwin Sands.
Plaice and Turbot are showing at the offshore banks.
Keep it tight,
Dave.

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

Report on-board My Way 2
Our 2nd trip of 2014 was again hampered by blustery conditions, with 20mph winds gusting more before decreasing late in the day, our initial journey out to Holyhead Deep was cancelled in favour of the safety of Holyhead Bay and a spot of general fishing and hopefully knocking a few species off peoples lists for early season.
Our first anchor was to catch the end of the ebb tide on the mussel beds, before the tide picked up too much to fish. Fortunately we were straight into fish, well dogfish that is!
Dogfish .... the ever present scourge of many anglers but the blank savers of others. March in Holyhead, you're going to catch a stupidly enormous amount of dogfish along with other species, either way, it can be enjoyed! 1, 2 or 3 at a time, test yourself!
Once the tide picked up, controlling rigs became hard work without excessively large leads, a few tangles started to create unrest amongst the natives .... so we made a move inshore!
The move worked well for us as everyone was again into a good few fish. Mainstay being dogfish with a sprinkling of small codling, whiting and a few huss to 4lb. Wrexham rod Paul Brooks, on his 2nd outing of 2014, cheerd loudly as he swung a 3 bearded rocking aboard My Way. The 3 bearded variety are not as plentiful as the mini species shore or 5 bearded rocking, so the 3 was certainly going to be a superb addition to his 2014 hunt.
The remainder of the day fished in a similar fashion – plenty of smaller species keeping the crew busy .... and sausages, bacon and beans!
We did try on the drift once again for the last 45mins, however we merely hooked into the rocks. Sadly the coloured water seriously hampering the influx of larger whiting, pollack and coalies normally associated with this time of year. With a nice settled spell ahead of us this week, the waters should clear nicely and help bring plenty of fish inshore and more importantly on the feed.
Another good day today, yes agreed fishing was not exceptional, but that's our lot early season, made slightly harder given the weather conditions of late. Thankfully with a great crowd, you can have a fabulous time afloat – with catching and laughing in equal amounts.

Report on-board Bad Boyz VI
Bad Boyz is now out of the water for the next two weeks having her annual paint up ready for the 2014 season.
Fishing this year has been very patchy at times but plenty of Dogs, Whitting, Dabs, Huss and a few rays at anchor along with The usual congers around the wrecks to 40+lb unfortunately due to the wether we haven't managed to get out to a few of the offshore conger wrecks that are only known to bad boyz for the bigger and better fighting fish.
Wrecking trips are few and far between with dates being booked up for other types of trips but there are still a few available to head off for the Pollack and cod, don't take your time in booking these trips as they are growing ever more popular aboard bad boyz being the only vessel on the west coast of Anglesey fishing them.
Tight lines for 2014

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Mar 2014 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
March 01st, St Davids day saw My Way set sail for the first time in 2014.
Our original first sail was two weeks earlier, however with the weather remaining so bad I took the decision to leave My Way in the yard, safe and sound whilst winds up to 100mph pounded much of the UK. It's fair to say the weather has been atrocious for a very long time now, as eager and excited as I was to get afloat and fishing again I was also nervous at exactly what our day may deliver.
Aboard My Way I was joined by 5 regulars, who have become good friends over the years and also 4 new guys to My Way, all of whom were experienced boat anglers, a nice mix of crew who undoubtedly could pull out a few fish when needed. A reasonable forecast for the most of the day, picking up to a force 6 towards the end and together with a 32ft tide our fishing was restricted to within Holyhead Bay.
First off was a drift in search of a few pollack, coalies and maybe some herring. We had a perfect drift, right alongside our rock mark with the breeze slowing the boat down nicely at the end of the flooding tide. However 40mins of trying and our efforts returned a big fat zero, not even a bite for the efforts of all on board.
The thick brown water wasn’t helping the situation to be honest, but never the less we should have had a few fish or bites even. A change of tactics was required and I decided to moved off to the mussel beds to anchor up, a little early for a 32ft tide, but this was getting critical now!Banter and a few risky jokes wasn't enough, we needed fish.
Upon anchoring, we had a good flow of tide and we all eagerly waited the fish bite. A few false knocks and over exuberant 'strikes' it was 15minutes before the first fish came to the boat. Using his rod and reel with effortless perfection local angler Dave, slowly retrieved his catch whilst everyone else stood in awe at his angling brilliance. After what seemed like an eternity it was with great relief to see Dave lift into My Way the best looking ….... 8oz whiting I'd ever seen before.
Rock N Roll, we're back on the money ….
OK, not that exciting, but as most the guys concluded, it's March, weather's fine and we're out. The fishing remained slow on this mark, a few whiting, mainly pin size and dogfish.
The odd double shot coming over, the first to Cheshire angler Pete Minns, who insisted on a photograph for his scrap book. Brooksy with a little help from his friends soon witnessed a dogfish on his rod.
As the tide started to gather pace and making it uncomfortable to fish anymore, we upped anchor and I decided on a move further inshore and try for a few rays. We ended the last few trips of 2013 with an abundance of rays and despite that being a few months back, late Feb and early March is when we start the new influx of thornies and the odd spotted into the area. Sadly this move didn't work out, dogfish and a solitary dab were all that we saw. We did though enjoy lunch, a big fat breakfast butty is always a good call when afloat. More so on a cold early spring day and naturaslly washed down with plenty of tea or coffee.
So anchor up again, this time to a muddy area around 1 mile outside the harbour. The tide should have slowed down sufficient to allow a fairly reasonable fish for all aboard. This mark soon had everyone who tried pulling out a few fish. The vast majority being dogfish and better whiting. We managed a few more double shots, of dogs and whiting but no triples. The dog or whiting trend was broken on a few occasions with small bull huss and also a nice ling of a few lb. Not a sight you see often when anchored up on a muddy piece of ground.
In all it was a great day afloat, fishing was slow, can be for the time of year.
But the day passed quickly. A few fish, a few laughs with friends all together with food and drink made for an enjoyable return to being afloat.Fingers crossed now that we are over the worst of the weather and the UK angling industry can get back on track.
2013 was a great year aboard My Way however I'm looking forward to better times through 2014.
Looking forward to seeing many of you through the year.
Thanks

Fishing Report by Aaron Smith
on Bad Boyz VI (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Jan 2014 by Aaron Smith
Report on-board Bad Boyz VI
Well 2014 hasn't started off the best with horrendous winds and floods but on the off occasion in the late 2013 we managed I few short trips hear and there.
Fishing has been hectic at times but mainly due to the amount of Whitings about ranging from 1oz - 2lb and providing a good plate of fish for tea.
There are still the odd Rays around but nothing to target and obviously the usually suspects Dabs, Dogs, Huss, Codlings, Poutings and Poorcod.
This next couple of months will see the increase in conger action around the wrecks but will the weather drop to allow us to get out and explore ?
Happy New Year from all of us @anglesey charter fishing
Bring on 2014 View Boats Page
