Report on-board M.V.Kailee
Headed out for the turbot at 7.30am weather was snow and light winds 2/3 had a few guys who had never caught this species before so wanted to give them a day to remember.
we arrived at the grounds all ready with a variety of rods and reels using flowing traces with 5" silver spoons with coloured beads and size 5/0 hook baited with mackrel and squid.
the first bite was a good fish weighing in at 9LB turbot fine small fish for a start but they got bigger as the day went on and Tommy Tyler caught a 23.5LB
The snow showers continued and the wind stayed light with fishing just got better and better the fish was coming aboard and the guys that hadn't caught the fish before were all enjoying a day to remember as they all caught a decent Turbot. The fish was coming aboad thick and fast a few personal bests for most of the guys
Charlie Hunter from Ocean Tackle Store in lerwick was delighted with his catch.
the biggest catch of the day was Ken Graham from Lerwick with his 24.9LB Turbot a personal best for ken and the first time for this species a excellent day and the weather held out until we headed back in at 5.30pm.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Apr 2012 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
The last couple weeks of March along with the rest of the country, Anglesey basked in some wonderful weather; glorious sunshine, little wind and a few days afloat with mixed fortunes for our anglers.
This early in our season the fishing can be a little hit and miss when targeting specific species. However, setting with a selection of rigs and baits can help anglers to a healthy spring mixed bag. Setting sail on calm days in March or April are superb and when the anchor is dropped only the fish being caught and banter on deck breaks what can be an eerie silence. Summer time, you often have the roar of jet skis, water skiers and other boats disturbing the silence as you set sail, more so at weekends. But this time of year, similar as the year passes by to mid-week trips; it’s eerie to have only the engine of My Way breaking that silence for residents of the marina.
One memorable trip with the majority of the 10 rods aboard novice anglers we concentrated our fishing inshore around Holyhead Bay, the task ahead of us today was to catch fish and a number of different species. The medium tide ensured that we didn’t have to go too heavy on our leads and were able to use a selection of different scratch rigs to tempt a variety of species.
Coming to the boat in abundance was the ever present dogfish with some small whiting until Jodie broke ranks and showed the lads how to catch a thornback ray, her fish ray! At the bow of the boat sister Freya was happily catching double shots of fish, much to the annoyance once more of the guys, her fished included our first sea scorpion of the year.
Further excitement was heard on the deck when a few plump coalfish came aboard; a few of the anglers then stopped everything … for sushi. One of the lads had brought along a top quality sushi making kit, rice vegetables, dips, etc. – we simply had to provide the fish. I then watched as; in a very professional manner aboard a slightly rocking boat he eagerly prepared sushi meal. The end product did surprise me a little as it looked, identical to what you see in magazines or online food websites. As many aboard My Way tucked into the coalfish, I agreed to give it ago.
I have tried other forms of sushi, and to be honest never quite liked the taste, but was determined to give this one a go. Well, despite the rave reviews from others on board I can report that for me, from now one food will always be cooked. Never, ever again!
This years Home International Boat Championship is to be hosted by the Welsh Federation of Sea Anglers; the event brings together some of the best anglers from the UK’s 4 homes nations in a hard fought battle, where pride and bragging rights go rightfully alongside the Gold Medals.
Running from Holyhead, the 2012 event will be fished aboard local charter boats My Way, Spindrift and Empress with Boy Evin as reserve vessel. The anglers will fish both at anchor and on the drift for a variety of species through the catch & release event. Points are then awarded relative to the ease of capture for any given specie. It was during an official practice day for the Welsh National Boat Angling Team that we had our first couple blondes’ rays in 2012.
The practice was for getting accustomed to tidal strengths and sea bed, it was not necessarily what John Traynor expected when he lifted his telescopic rod and played a respectable blonde ray of 13lb.
Our first trip out to deeper waters west of Anglesey saw My Way regulars from Wrexham rewarded with a good number of quality Spurdog. All that is except organiser Mike and crewman Harry who both took a barrage of abuse from anglers often onto their 2nd Spurdog before our intrepid duo had even hooked into a Dogfish .
Many spurs and huss made the bulk of the catch in the deeps, with dogfish adding to the numbers. With the Spurdog weighing an average of 12lb, it’s another great start to the season for our offshore exploits. As time goes by rewards of those willing to fish the deep water with heavy leads will also include huss in excess of 15lb and some hard fighting tope.
