Report on-board Razorbill 3
Had another good day with stuart again as always. we left mersea at about 7:00 am, we steamed out for about an hour, it was a beautiful day and the sea was flat carm. As soon as we had started fishing there wear fishing coming aboard, and the fishing was good for the rest for the day as the tide was running. then high water came and the fishing easied up. So stuart had desided to have a move to a spot a bit closer to home. we started fishing as the tide was ebbing, and had one more small cod and i missed a CRACKING bite. then we had a slow ride home. in the end we had 32 cod up to 5lb and we had some good whiting to about 1.5lb. we had the most fish out of all the boats fishing in the area all thanks to stuart.
thanks for the good a mate. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Feb 2012 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Having cancelled 3 days afloat a week earlier because of the high winds a more settled forecast for the last weekend in February was greeted with a very thankful smile. The tides once again on the large size cancelled any thoughts of a venture to Holyhead Deep, so inshore Holyhead was the order for the 2 days.
Saturdays crew of regular My Way anglers were looking forward to the laughs as well as the fishing. Pete ‘chilli’ Chant and company were all eager to get afloat, catch a few fish and have a good giggle at each other through the day. The fishing was fairly consistent for a cold February day – dogfish, small huss and small codling similar to 2 weeks ago were making up the bulk of the catches.
Amongst them, we also found a few coalies around 2lb in weight and a few decent sized whiting.
Pete though decided to go one better than everyone aboard and landed a very nice inshore ling, the ling went un-weighed but was estimated at around 4 to 5lb. Pete also showed the other guys how to hook into a better bull huss than the small pups the rest appeared to be catching.
The Sunday forecast was giving a little more wind, as everyone called in on the Saturday evening I relayed our exploits from that days fishing and confirmed a good day afloat was on the cards for Sunday, albeit with a little more wind. Sadly, on arriving at the marina it was clear that we had a lot more blowing and within an hour of sailing our wind speeds had increased to around 20mph with gusts nearer 25!
Never the less everyone tried hard to catch, whatever a day afloat in February could throw at them, today though in complete contrast to the previous day was proving very hard, with even the dogfish playing very hard to get. Everyone soldiered on, however with only a few dogs and small codling recorded. Towards slack water I wanted to move a few miles out and try our luck for bigger huss, but as the wind increased and the boat started to move more into the weather we decided to make a move for calmer waters.
A few dogs and whiting graced the decks as we enjoyed a bowl of chilli and cuppa, but with strengthening winds, tangling rigs and morale now at low point, we decided to knock the day on the head a couple hours early, saving a few quid for a better day in the future. Beaten but not dejected, we rescheduled a few places for mid-March, fingers crossed the weather gods are going to settle down for us! View Boats Page

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Had high hopes for today, plan was to fish up to the lunch time slack and head out to a six mile bank for the ebb tide, unfortunately scuppered by the strongish north westerly as the day went on. we tried north out of Yarmouth to a old favourite deep hole which only produced whiting few reasonable size keepers. Changed tatics due to the lack of cod up anchor and headed off to the Corton church to join the other 14 boats i counted! Ended up a very testing day, every fish hard earned, total was a miserable 8 codling, and about the same whiting,and a very large dab, nice to see as they have been very scarce lately, we have been expecting them in for quite a while. Many thanks to Keith,Ian, and Adi, appreciate you traveling to come join us, also Andy and Matty and Barry, hope to see you all soon , next time hopefully we will get out there! Jon.

Report on-board Gloria B11
As I don’t update this site on a regular basis, I thought I would let you guys know the catch report has been very good. Most trips have been producing large numbers of codling and skate, but in the last couple of weeks or so the skate have disappeared.
I will not lie to you fellers but this is the normal size of fish, every now and again we get a fish double figured. We do look forward to march when the skate return and hopefully we will then get a mixture of cod and skate again.
