  • 24/06/2010 Fishing Report by Dave Hunkin on Bessie Vee (Mevagissey, Cornwall)

    24 Jun 2010 by Dave Hunkin

    Report on-board Bessie Vee

    On a flat calm, sunny day we steamed out from Mevagissey for 20 miles. Had three drifts for pollock, where we picked up eight, the best of which was 12lb; then went to anchor on the ebb tide until slack water, where we picked up a 10lb ling and two small congers, so we opted to change wrecks rather than re-anchor, which meant steaming up channel another five miles (just enough time for a cuppa)! Here we started catching good ling from 8lb - 24lb, and congers from 12lb up to 46lb - the best angler landing eight congers; all successfully caught and released for another day. Ling tally was 22, which meant everyone had plenty of fish to take home for tea after a good day's sport for eight anglers!

    Report on-board Predator

    The lads from the Thamesdown Pirates enjoyed an overnighter aboard Predator II. We spent early evening feathering for our bait for the night. Anchor was dropped on a series of banks off to the West of Poole.

    Pictured here is Tony with a fine conger of 30lbs. The night produced a steady number of black bream to 3lb along with a good number of rays, the biggest, a14lb Thornback, falling to Danny.

  • 21/06/2010 Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

    21 Jun 2010 by Gethyn Owen

    Report on-board My Way 2

    Our previous report dated 20th June relayed the woes of having to change tact with or plans for the day. With boat fishing being at the mercy of the weather gods, sometimes we have to accept a change and try out best. This report shows the difference a day can make.

    Following the inshore restrictions of 20th June, the win had decreased to no more than a gentle breeze; best of all, the sea had barely a ripple disturbing the reflection of the bright sunshine – the deeps was certainly on the cards for today.

    As with most of our trips off to the deeper water, the day started off making away around Holy Island to the South Stack area for some mackerel, pollack, wrasse and coalies. Similar to the previous day plenty of wrasse and good pollack came to the boat along with some codling, sadly though when trying for mackerel … nothing.
    We always take frozen mackerel with us and invariably the mackerel is never aound when you need it and with Holyhead Deep being an extremely tidal mark, you are under pressure to get on your mark to take in the slack water.

    Whilst making the 8mile journey SW of the Lighthouse, all the crew readied their tackle and baits n preparation for some big fish action. Order for the day was to be huss, spurdog and tope. April and May had fished extremely well for us with numerous tope up to 30lb being boated, so thoughts in anticipation of bigger sharks were rife. Sadly on this occasion the tope proved elusive, thought the deeps proved yet again why it is a very popular venue with our anglers by offering numerous double figure huss and just short of 3dozen double figure spurs for the 6lads on board, with the best spur reaching little over 16lb.

    What a difference a day makes, let’s hope the weather allows everyone some fantastic sport in months to come!

    20 Jun 2010 by Gethyn Owen

    Report on-board My Way 2

    With neap tides upon us, lessoning the tidal pull in 200ft of water, a trip to Holyhead deeps was the plan for today. Sadly the weather gods conspired against us and blew a very strong northerly wind most of the night. Despite the decreasing wind on getting to the boat in the morning, the sea state was lumpy and cancelled any thoughts of big spurs and tope.

    A change to the day was required and after a chat with the crew, some inshore work drifting for pollack and wrasse with the chance of big huss to pull the strings was the order of the day.

    We started our drifting for the day around South Stack Lighthouse and Abrahams Bosom, these rocky areas never fail to produce some excellent sport on light tackle. The crew was made up of regulars and novice anglers and fortunately before too long all were soon into some nice ballan wrasse, reaching up to 3lb and both female and male cuckoo wrasse just shy of the 1lb mark. Some of the crew were using light spinning gear and getting some amazing action from these feisty fish. Fortunately some of the pollack and codling that came onboard were in the tasty 3 to 4lb bracket, and were promptly despatched to end up on a few plates with chips that evening.

    Moving over to anchor for a few hrs, it was inevitable that the dogfish were going to hone in on the big fish and squid baits lowered to the sea bed in search of huss and maybe a ray. From a variety of small fish including gurnards, codling, whiting and dabs etc the crew also managed to snare a good number of huss, the vast majority of which went double figures.

    Our sail back to Holyhead Marina was again going to include a drift around the coastline – resulting yet again in more wrasse, pollack, codling and this time a few small coalies.

    Report on-board Supanova II

    Hi all,

    Well the breaming has now seemed to die away but the Cod fishing has been fantastic on the wrecks with good numbers of double figure fish. We have also seen some cracking Pollack to 22lb's and ling to 23lb's. The congering on the wrecks has also been steady.

    Inshore has seen good numbers of Tope, congers and Bull huss on the reefs and continued Turbot fishing on the Shambles. The next month should see all the above continued with hopefully the arrival of a bass or two and the bream again.

    Tight lines to all!!!

    Report on-board Bad Boyz VI

    Fishing over the last couple of weeks has been up and down with the reefs producing plenty of codling and wrasse but very little else, Anchor has been exceptional on days producing up to 58 huss on our best day and plenty of rays with a bonus nice cukoo ray and a big mix bag of species incuding tope and smoothound with the count nearing 35 species for the year.

    Report on-board Predator

    The lads from the Wilts & Dorset SAC enjoyed a great days fishing aboard Predator II. The morning was spent drifting for Tope which resulted in 14 being landed with the biggest falling to Jim weighing in at just over 30lbs.

    The afternoon was spent at anchor and Kerry managed to land his first Undulate Ray. Not be out done his son, Tim, caught his first Undulate which unfortunately for Kerry was bigger!! So much for a father's day present!

    All fish were returned unharmed to fight another day.
