Report on-board My Way 2
Had a club trip aboard My Way skippered by someone who's name i forget.Anyway the weather wasn't exactly the best and the banter even worse.Started drifting just outside the breakwater where we were catching plenty of Pollack and a few wrasse,but the wind was making fishing difficult.We then went over to church bay and done a few drifts before going to anchor.At anchor there was plenty og dogfish to be had along with codling,poor cod ,ling huss and a ray of some discription,as always the skipper kept us well feed and plenty of warm cups of tea.All in all an enjoyable day afloat with Holyheads finest,although i'm lead to beleive it got reported we blanked? Must be some bad boyz around

Report on-board Anglo Dawn III
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the Spring run of Plaice well under way on the Skerries Bank in Dartmouth, caught Eight 2 weeks ago with a boat total of 79, but relitively small fish.
so took advantage of the Bank holiday and booked myself on a Boat out of Salcombe (a couple of miles from Dartmouth )
this was a good move after leaving Swansea at 3.30am I arrived in Salcombe at 6.30am
I was First on the Boat, Chris the Skipper saying that only 4 more to come brilliant bags of room, less risk of tangling as todays method was drift fishing for Plaice. everybody on , we head for the Skerries
20 minutes and we are on the mark. tactics were to fish as light as possible, so used my new purchase from Mainwarings, Diawa Kenzaki 6/12 Braid special with Abu 6500 loaded with 14lbs Braid. Rig is 8ft of 10lbs Amnesia running ledger, with an 1/0 Aberdeen fine Wire on the end with 6-10 beads and a flyer hook 2/3rd of the way up again same hook and beads, 3oz watch lead. Bait Rag & Squid with Peeler and Prawn to mix it up.
5 minutes into the First drift I connect to the first fish of the day nice Plaice around 1lbs 1/2. Next drift again a similar size fish. Chris has put us right on the fish, with fish coming in its a great start to the day and the skipper gets a brew on
It went quiet at high water with everybody having caught Plaice except for Gary, who was now getting frustrated watching us having fun. finally he connected and the pressure was off! and I commented "you going for Quality not Quantity" Gary! 10 minutes later and he only brings in a beauty! we reckon between 3 1/2 to 4 lbs a proper fish. A great day was had by all with my final tally being 11 Plaice (kept 4 returned the rest) and a boat total of 52 fish
A top skipper Chris Roberts of Anglo Dawn III , Back down there again next Sunday 30th for another bash at View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Ray Martin
on PLAN B (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)

Report on-board PLAN B
Easter Saturday started nice and fine, so I opted for a lower estuary mark to try for hounds and skate. Found a nice lot of very small hounds and pesky dog fish. Caught a couple of skate but after a couple of moves decided to try another area.. result 13 good skate.. best 11lb.
Easter Sunday, went straight to the spot the 13 skate came and as usual another day another tide and everything changes.. only had 1 skate and at low water although we were getting a fish a cast decided to go to another spot that fished well last year.. result 15 skate.
Easter Monday, although the wind had picked up a bit from the North went back to the same area and caught skate throughout the whole tide steadily, resulting in around 15-20 skate and numerous dogs and good whiting.
Great weekend, great angling, great company... roll on next weekend. All anglers everyday of the weekend had PB's ... View Boats Page

on Bad Boyz VI (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

Report on-board Bad Boyz VI
Easter 2011,
Starting from April 16-23 and spring tides most days,
Fishing has improved dramatically over the 10 trips of easter with number and quality of fish improving.
The reefs have seen a few slightly bigger fish with a couple of pollack up to 5-6lb and a lovely cod of 6lb 10oz.
All the slack waters have been fished at anchor targeting inshore huss and codling with great results.
With 51 bull huss into double figures and many smaller, and a lost count in numbers of codling there has been many smiles aboard the boat this past week.
A few more fish are turning up with some beautifuly marked male cukoo wrasse and the first gurnards of the year with 2 reds.
Due to the size of the tides it has made it allmost impossible to get out to fish Holyhead deeps but with neep tides this weekends we are looking forward to getting back into the superb Tope action.
