  • 02/2017 Fishing Report by Aaron Smith on Bad Boyz VI (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

    Feb 2017 by Aaron Smith

    Report on-board Bad Boyz VI

    Another great trip out to Holyhead Deeps 5/1/17, 35+ Spurdogs to 17lb in with plenty of Bull huss and Dogs, General fishing inshore a bit slow to end the day, reefs not showing much at all.
    Water temperature is still up at 9 degrees which is coming the large shoals of spurdogs around with the odd Tope thrown in.

    Picture's will be up later on Of The fish ����

    ANNOUNCEMENT **

    Here at Bad Boyz Charters we are happy to announce for 2017 that we will be working closely with the Scottish Shark Tagging Program.
    Within this program we will be tagging Skate, Rays, Tope, Spurdog, Bull-Huss and Smooth-hounds caught on board the boat this season that meet the SSTP's minimal requirements for size/length.

    Our main aim when fishing for any of these species is always catch and release, Safety of the fish is paramount to help gather data for future captures, I have no doubt this will be put to test on days fishing for skate or spurdogs with the boat record being 80+ we really have to make sure we tag what fish we believe to meet requirements.

  • 07/02/2017 Fishing Report by Stuart Denman on Ebony May (Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire)

    7 Feb 2017 by Stuart Denman

    Report on-board Ebony May

    Hi everyone.
    The new fishing season is nearly upon us. We had a cracking season last year. The Tope appeared in May, and steady numbers of them were caught right through up til the end of July. Largest fish being a Tope of 55 lbs, caught by a Bristol angler. One session in July resulted in over 28 Tope being caught in 3 hours over low tide, average fish being 35 lbs. The Bass season started in July, with excellent catches right through until October when bad weather eventually defeated us. Largest Bass caught this season was 9 lbs, landed by Marcus from London, caught on live sandeels. Various other species of fish were landed during the season. On one charter trip we landed quality Skate, Smooth Hound, Bullhuss, Pollack, Coal fish, Whiting, Wrass, Mackerell, Garfish, Dabs, Plaice, Dragonet, Gurnard, Tope and the inevitable dogfish. Making a total of 15 different species of fish. This shows the diversity and variety of fish that can be caught in our area.
    Really looking forward to the start of the season in April. Taking bookings now .
    Tope trips starting in May, through to July.
    Bass trips starting in July, through to October. Using live sandeel.
    Any mixed fishing Tope/ Bass, or any other bottom fish can be accommodated.

  • 30/01/2017 Fishing Report by Phil White on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    30 Jan 2017 by Phil White

    Report on-board Chinook 3

    As you all know by now the cod have not shown up this winter although there still might be a spring run.

    However this has not stopped our anglers from having some great days fishing close by in our estuary. There has been a huge influx of dabs along the Thames Estuary, far more than we have ever had before; these lovely little flatfish have provided us with some cracking sport on days when we would have cancelled.



    Techniques are completely different to what we would normally be doing but once you have adapted your rigs and style to suit it’s easy.

    You can use really light tackle as we are only fishing on the gentle neap tides, carp or spinning rods are fine, 2 hook flattie rigs with one up one down are best.

    Choice of bait isn’t critical, tiny bits of worm, squid, herring, mackerel and sprat all work, fished straight down with a plain lead, you don’t need to cast, indeed when fishing straight down when you get a bite, lift up the rod, if the fish isn’t there you can drop back down and wait for it to bite again.



    There are a few Thornbacks around inshore; usually numbers start to increase around mid February depending on water temperature.



    Offshore is still hard with a few dogfish, Thornbacks and whiting but again things will improve in 2-3 weeks time as the Thornbacks start to move back in.



    Prospects are good, there still might be a spring run of cod and there are plenty of other fish to be caught so don’t give up, change tactics and make use of what is available.
