    Report on-board Razorbill 3

    The weather was sunny and flat calm, just what we need, after an hour run to the mark the first fish was a BASS of 3lb, another two smaller BASS and we moved,
    The first fish was a DOGFISH....... not what we wanted but you can't pick what fish you want to catch, The next fish was a bit better, A COD of 10lb, then another of 16lb 8oz, we only had 6 COD but the smallest was the 10lb,With 10 Bass and some big WHITINGS it wasn't such a bad day!

    Report on-board Yellowfin

    Went out with Kurt on Yellowfin a couple of weeks ago but have only just got round to posting a report. I'll keep it short ! I hadn't heard of any decent reports so wasn't holding out too much hope but Kurt put us right on the fish from the off. Caught loads of mackeral, whiting, herrings, doggies and a few nice smoothounds. Much more than we expected. Have another trip booked for this week and have plenty more booked with Kurt over the summer as he really is a top skipper and a thoroughly likeable guy as well. Cheers Kurt !!!

    Report on-board Bad Boyz VI

    Just a quick one to let everyone know how the fishing is doing, had a trip yesterday for Rays and general fishing, Stoped on a few reefs for the first hour or so with a fair few Pollack and Colies coming to the boat 2-3 at a time nothing of much size between 1-3 lb with the odd one 4-5lb with the mackeral no where to be seen, With a breakfast of sausage, egg and onion butties on the go we headed for the banks to try our luck for a few skate but once anchored it was a matter of seconds till the first Doggy!!!! was on the boat, with a ridiculous amount of them around and a few Dabs and a 10lb Huss thrown in, the Rays were just not getting a chance so we decided to head back to the reefs for the last 3 hours, We tried a few reefs to the south but with only a couple of small fish coming up, so we made a decision to head to South Stack with Pollack to be the target fish, Once we arrived the fish were coming to the boat thick and fast from Pollack, Colies, Codling, Wrasse and the odd Mackeral with the last drist producing a nice Cod of around the 6lb mark.

    Fishing update Plenty of Pollack, Coalies, Codling, Wrasse and a few Mackeral on the reefs. Anchor is producing Dogies, Huss, Whiting, Dabs, Plaice, Codling, Rays and the odd Tope with the smoothounds arrving anyday now and a report from the local tackle shop telling us that a few are coming in off the shore.
