Report on-board Wave Dancer
What an amazing weekends fishing
View Boats Page
the boys from the jaguar plant started the weekend off with a bang catching TWELVE different species bagging a total of 96.
With the sun shining, the wind non existent, and the sea like glass we dropped anchor at the first mark and it didn't disappoint. We obviously caught doggies, we also caught bull hus,smoothies,tope,plaice,dabs,tub gurnard,starry smoothies,whiting, and thorn back rays.
Following an amazing morning we pulled the hook and steamed to hunt for mackerel. Once we had shaken off the seal following the boat we dropped anchor and settled into an afternoon of steady tight lines with everything we had caught earlier and a first for wave dancer a herring was landed. Mackerel were caught all around the boat including 14 year old josh who had told the skipper he had never fished for mackerel before as he pulled in a string of three followed by four more on his next cast. I think he is hooked now as he kept asking his dad when he could go for mackerel again.
Just to top the day off porpoises were spotted on our way home in Liverpool bay.
The biggest fish cash prize went to Alex who caught a 9.5lb bull hus. -

Got out today with the cosmo club (average age 70) and the deck looks like God's waiting room. Always a good laugh with people from all over the North West, Stoke and North Wales. The fishing was excellent with loads of Mackerel, pollock to 12lb and tope to 30. A grand day out with some lovely grub and good friendly banter.

Red letter day thanks to a messed up forecast...... Started off fishing the reefs with plenty of the usual suspects coming to the boat along Wrasse, Pollack, Coalie ect.... with a few red / grey Gurnards, Codling to 4lb.
View Boats Page
With slack water fast approching the decision was made to get set for anchor so after a short move offshore to holyhead deeps the hook was set, Within 5 minutes of the baits hitting the bottom the first fish was on the way up..... A fine Spur of 14lb, In true style this continued for the next 90 minutes with a tally of 30 Spurdogs, Sma Smallest 10lb and best just topping 18lb.
We managed just the one Tope @12lb, Huss 12lb and thankfully only a handful of doggies!!

Some great fishing this last few trips for all the teams who joined us on the Shy-Torque III.
View Boats Page
The weather has been unreal with glassy calm and clear waters making the fishing relatively easy for all concerned. Perfect drift fishing, plumb vertical lines and some cracking fish.
The top angler this week was Paul Cookson from Bolton in Lancashire. He had some 20 fish himself yesterday with a mixture of cod and ling. His lad Lee boating the best fish on board with a ling just shy of a stone in weight (14lb)
We have also done a couple of sharking trips this last week with shark on on both trips. Sadly all the shark we had on the line managed the escape. So very annoying, but at least we know that there are a good number out there for us this year to keep trying for. If you fancy a go for the big boys give me ring.
Bob Ellis from Focus Training Ltd who sponsors some of the Charter Skippers competitions here at Whitby joined us on Monday this week for his first ever sharking mission. He had 2 shark on during the morning. One of them leading him a merry dance around the boat for over half an hour before spitting the hook. Bob said it was an unbelievable feeling but also extreemley tiring!!
We always manage to do some bottom fishing whilst we are on the sharking trips and Bob's best fish was a lovely cod of 11 lbs He, his son Sam and friend Richard managed a good show of both cod and ling on the
trip.
Bob is pictured inset.
If you fancy a go in this years Summer competition which starts soon on the 1st July, we do still have some
places left.
Give me a call on my direct number 07733 233352 or home 01947 603472 or mail me on richardward384@yahoo,co.uk. There are some great cash prizes again this year with the top prize being a massive £5000.00 in cash!!! Fishing is a lottery so come and have a go!!!
