    Report on-board Mistress

    We managed a nice day at sea yesterday.

    We knew the wind was forecast to get up by mid morning so, nipped offshore first thing to get the lads 1 or 2 mackerel ��

    The wind was creeping all the time we we're there so we ran inshore for a very early crack at the uptiding. Conditions were near enough for it.

    Well it wasnt winter uptiding fast but we got fish everywhere we went, most around 2-3lb but we had a few bigger 4lbers and the biggest topped just over 6lb.

    We have the winter uptiding festval running again this year from the 6th - 21st November.

    We currently have remaining,
    7th November- 5 places
    8th November- 5 places

    Drop me a message or WhatsApp if your interested in joining us for a day.

    Tight lines Rich

    22 Sep 2021 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Last trip off for us was last Monday and with the making Springs coming after that we chose to take a few days off. The fresh winds at the moment would have made us cancel anyway.

    Mackerel stocks were still good for us on Monday on the 3 mile stream and the lads quickly gathered enough for the bait stocks.

    First stop was a strip of ground 7 miles off where we took a half dozen fish. The best of them, a nice Ling for Joe from Selby at just under 12lbs. A potential daily prize winner maybe?

    We worked the ground for a couple more hours until the tide eased back to allow us to work a wreck.
    This produced around a dozen fish or so. Nothing big boated there. As the flood started “booling” through, it was back to the ground marks to finish off. Bits and bobs coming aboard with some nice fresh Mackerel to finish too.

    I was about to write Joe a ticket out to weigh his fish in in the competition, when I found out it had been gutted and filleted!!!! Ooops!!
    Heaviest fish weighed in on the day was an ounce or two over 10lb so would have been a winner for him!!

    Fresh winds for the next couple of days so some time for general maintenance.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich

    Sep 2021 by Steve West

    Report on-board Aries 3

    Over the last few weeks we have been very lucky to have had great inshore fishing in at times challenging conditions.

    we have mainly concentrated on the bream as well as the bass on the bigger tides but also some good catches of turbot and brill as well.

    The general fishing has been good with congers , Huss , rays keeping us busy

    Yesterday i had a group out that were interested in cod fishing and wanted to know when was best to target them i replied that it has been hard for cod over the last couple of seasons but we would normally target them in June/July time we then arrived at our first mark and first drop they managed 2 cod so the answer from now on is you never no don't listen to me i no nothing.

    for the next few weeks we will be continuing with the bream and bass as well as taking part in the WIBAC competition before the winter season starts on the whiting

    20 Sep 2021 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    The big tides weren’t a complete write off…..but the fishing wasn’t a push over.

    A group of mixed angling abilities on board saw us tackling a big tide, with no help whatsoever from the weather. Wind against tide in the morning saw things get a bit chewy, but everyone still got stuck in. Once they could keep the lead tapping, we started to pick off a few fish.

    With the 5 mile ground only producing four strap Ling on baited Hokkai’s; a move out to 9 miles proved to be much more productive. We lost a bit of speed in the drift and started taking a picking off the rough ground.
    Mainly Ling in the 3-4lb category kept everyone entertained, but once the tide slackened a bit, we moved onto a wreck, which heralded better results. Some nice Codling and two double figure Ling were very welcome.

    Not blowing our own trumpet (ok I am), the two lads who had never boat fished before picked up the two doubles on our muppet bait traces. Steve and Wal picked everything up we taught them and had a great day overall. They filled a fish box between them which was brilliant.

    After cancelling his last five trips for bad weather; catch of the day came to Neil from the “Ship Inn” in Whitby, when he landed a cracking double, with a decent Ling and Cod.

    Well done everyone. Great day out.

    What a day we had on Saturday!
    Perfect weather allowed us to travel to a couple of wrecks 30 miles from port.
    The first wreck was disappointing with just a half dozen fish boated.
    The second one however was unreal. The first drift was like winding the clock back 30 years to when my Dad and me worked commercially. 6 of the rods boated 13 Cod to 10lb with one of the lads landing a lovely treble!
    They worked the wreck for a good 2 hours and took a good amount of fish from it.
    Marcin from London boated the heaviest on board with a fine Ling of 14lb 3 oz which also took the heaviest fish of the day prize in the competition.
    A fab day all round.
    Cheers for now,
    Rich

  • 09/2021 Fishing Report by Kevin McKie on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)

    Sep 2021 by Kevin McKie

    Report on-board Size Matters

    Now our 10 day charters are over we have been fishing from our home port of Pwllheli on stranded day charters.

    The inshore fishing for Bass, Bream and Tope has been very patchy and no two days have been the same.

    The offshore wrecking has been outstanding every trip we are catching lots of Pollack to 11lb 8oz and odd Cod to 5lb, as soon as the lads have filled there cool boxes with fillets we have stopped fishing and headed in early.

    While we have been off shore we have been spooled by a Tuna on 20lb class tackle as it took the wrecking lure on the way up, we chased it for 1/2 a mile before we got spooled, the reel was so hot you could of cooked an egg on it.

    The next day we hand two Porgies at the boat while wrecking one was 60lb and another was 150lb we hand fed the 150lb porgie but it shook the hook off after about 5 mins, in comparison to the Tuna it fought like a dog fish.

    Then the following day we where fishing inshore and we seen out first North Wales Thresher Shark jump six times, it was about 250lb and we had no bait to hand, so we caught some mackerel and headed over to where it was jumping but never got a touch for over two hours.

    In the coming months if you have charters booked with us for Tope, Bass or Wrecking but would like to change to have ago for a Shark or two we will be more than happy to get the big guns out ����
