As our colonial brothers say, the bite is hot !
Some great eating pollock caught by Phinney's gang from the little old US of A,
Nice 'n' easy to catch and tasty treats for tea , awesome fishing .
The inshore reef fishing is epic , yee ha !
On the smaller tides we've been after the various inshore sharks.
Tenby & District Angling Club ably assisted by James L and Cai found 5 species of sharks,
including a nice 21 lb Tope for club Officer Nev and a cracking 32/35 lb Tope for James L.
Plenty of Bull Huss around the double figure mark coming to the boat.
Fresh or frozen Mackeral seems to be the preferred bait.
Club President Mike found a cracking specimen Red Gurnard, showing that class always shines through !
Come on down,
Dave.

Fishing Report by stuart cross
on Celtic Wildcat (Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire)

Report on-board Celtic Wildcat
The winds howling again so i thought i would share some info on a trip last year. I know its late but here is a report on some great shark fishing we had out of Neyland marina West Wales on Celtic Wildcat. Only four of us fishing my eldest son and mum and dad {The clampets}. We were very lucky to get all three days in catching 62 blues, roughly 20 a day. We could have caught a lot more but opted to take the other rods out while we played a shark, no point hooking two and landing none! Five or six over 100lb, with many between 70lb and 100lb. I took 40 fresh mackerel with us on ice which is always a good plan just in case. As it was we loaded up on the first day but you never know. i also took two tubs of rubby dubby for each day which turned out really good. Please note for protection of your sex life don,t mash mackerel up with a hollow tube, when it eventually works its way up and goes over your head and down the back of your neck your supply will definately be cut off. Graeme Pullen did not make this clear in his totally awesome fishing video i,m not happy.!! Skipper Nick,o,Sullivan has been fishing this area for years and it certainly shows, he is very organised and a very nice chap. He is the man to ring if you want to have a go. The sharks in the photos are all over 100lb, my mum landing two over the tonne, so don,t moan that your arms ache because she is 74. On a different note i would like to thank all the skippers that we fish with, its been a terrible winter and we know the bills dont stop even if the fishing does. YOU are our gateway to a lot of fun and laughs, you give me and many others the chance to escape from the bollocks and spend some quality time with my family chasing the ever elusive whopper! Once again thank you all for what you do. Stuart Cross

The season has started !
Good catches of Thornback Rays in the sheltered waters of Milford Haven.
Plenty of decent sized Whiting coming to the boat.
Hopefully we will be getting offshore soon. There's plenty of big Pollock out there on the wrecks along with Cod and Coalies. On the banks the plaice and Turbot will be feeding up.
In the deeps there's plenty of Spurdog and Conger action. A few early Mackeral have showed up and the Tope won't be far behind them. The Porbeagles will be feeding up on the shoaling up pollock.
Exciting times ahead !
Come on down . . .

Well, not a lot to report really !
It seems to be the longest spell of windy weather we've had in my 12 years of chartering. The few times that we have ventured out we have found good numbers of Thornbacks and congers, great fun on balanced tackle.
The cod have been elusive, odd ones to the boat but not much to report.
Hopefully as this wind eases up and it gets colder we should have some proper winter fishing with lunker cod and tasty Whiting.
The dog will be pleased when we go fishing, I've almost worn his legs away, he was a Doberman !
Diary is open for Spring/Summer 2016 bookings.
Keep it tight,
Dave.

Fishing Report by Mike Jones
on Ebony May (Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire)
31 Jul 2015 by Mike Jones
Report on-board Ebony May
Our fishing club went out with Alan Jones skipper of the Happy Hooker for our annual Bass trip and he didn’t let us down again. Alan even managed to sort out the weather, at 7.45 am we arrived at the quay side on a bright sunny day. Access to the boat is now very easy thanks to the improvements at Saundersfoot Harbour.
We set off and steamed out past Caldey Island where Alan found his mark. Tackle was a flowing trace with live Sandeel the drifts were short and we were soon into fish. With the quota now only 3 bass by late morning we were just about bagged up. Alan then took us to a different mark were we finished the Bass and took Pollack, Gurnard, mackerel and of course the ubiquitous Scylorhinus canicula or better known locally as the Swansea Dog.
Alan was yet again on top form with his wit and keen to provide advice to ensure we were all maximising our opportunity to catch fish, tea and coffee were plentiful as well. We would thoroughly recommend Alan and the Happy Hooker for any skill level be you an experienced club fisherman or novice, good value for money. View Boats Page
