Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Ok so I am up early..... it's just even after 30 years of doing this job I cant sleep in..!!! I am all excited with the weather so good zero wind at the moment, and not much expected, the sun shinning brightly, all bait ready to go, all that remains now is to drive to Bradwell. engines run up, drop the lines and go fishing.....
(Dough... I can her a Ron Angel moment coming) lol I know Ron as I wrote it I though.. Perfect Storm...lol
But seriously, I hope the Tope are there, it is a really good tide today so I reckon we have a fair chance... but this is called fishing...!!
My good friend Lee Bollingbrock had a good day yesterday he was on the Bass and although we know we cant keep them at the moment they are still great sport fish, as are the Smoothies so well done Lee,
Ok guy must get my backside into gear now as it's time to go... oh yeah... I nearly forgot my Tope net.... see it does pay to sit and write a line or two, it makes you think as you write.....
See you later guy, and from where ever your fishing from today have a great day and catch up later....tight Lines.....!!

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well after not finding very big Smoothounds yesterday the hunt was on in earnest today...
We set sail at 0700 hrs and a new course set to try a bit of ground not often fished by our boats,
After and hour and ten minutes we reached our destination..!! I took one look at the water and said to Nicola.... today we hit the big ones... and as the tide got away the first fish up was a ......... doggie, not what I planed for, but all rods were baited and holding bottom when Bob's rod bent hard over in the rod holder, and the fight was on, the first real hound of the day, we had around 30 hound in various sizes from 5- 14lbs ..
As the tide eased away and the hounds went off, I suggested the lads use squid to see if there were any Thornback Rays living .here, and after 20 minutes, terry landed a 9 lbs Ray followed by a 10 lbs Ray then several more before the tide finally stopped... then it was time to hit the road , pick up our pot to replenish out hermit crab stock that got hit real hard today, ready to do it all again tomorrow, we are also putting two Tope rods out tomorrow as the big Tope usually run along side the big Hounds... so we will see in the morning, with a good weather forecast, and great tide confidence is high.....!!!
By the way we still have Sunday 29th May (Bank Holiday) whole boat available if anyone is interested, today's party booked the Saturday 28th on the strength of today's fantastic fishing... first come, first served..!! Tight lines !!...... View Boats Page

Report on-board Excel 2
As our colonial brothers say, the bite is hot !
Some great eating pollock caught by Phinney's gang from the little old US of A,
Nice 'n' easy to catch and tasty treats for tea , awesome fishing .
The inshore reef fishing is epic , yee ha !
On the smaller tides we've been after the various inshore sharks.
Tenby & District Angling Club ably assisted by James L and Cai found 5 species of sharks,
including a nice 21 lb Tope for club Officer Nev and a cracking 32/35 lb Tope for James L.
Plenty of Bull Huss around the double figure mark coming to the boat.
Fresh or frozen Mackeral seems to be the preferred bait.
Club President Mike found a cracking specimen Red Gurnard, showing that class always shines through !
Come on down,
Dave.

Fishing Report by Roy Smith
on SWN Y MOR (Amlwch, Isle of Anglesey)
15 May 2016 by Roy Smith
Report on-board SWN Y MOR
Hi got offshore a bit 10 miles makes a change. So many spurdogs they became a nuisance anglers fed up of catching them all around 6 to 14lbs . whiting being bit in half all the time. There appears to be vast shoals of these in the area at the moment. Consequently affecting the wreck fishing round fish will vacate the area when these are around in this strength. Inshore pollack on reefs not monsters but a far few keepers for those who want to eat them. I prefer turbot and will be doing these trips this year on banks west of isle of man to target them if weather allows let's hope for a calmer summer to get to the better fishing offshore. Cheers Roy. NOTE OUR CHARTER RATES FOR OFFSHORE FISHING VERY REALISTIC

Sunday 15th May..... really excited as we had our good friend Troy Botterell on the boat with his crew... always a great laugh. we started off picking up our pot for hermit crabs so we would have our Smoothound bait for the day...... so once the crabs had been lifted and stowed we set off to our first stop the tide was just starting to turn for the ebb tide, and with expectations high we had a few dogfish to kick off with, then I caught our first Hound of the season... well I say hound.. pup really then Peter had a hound about the same stamp... then Paul Kitley had a tremendous take, a real rod bender..!! he wound down on to the fish, had the thing on for a few seconds.... then bang, it was off, the hook came in stripped of bait... so we fished on for an hour or so but very little came up so I decide to make a move Eastward by quite a few miles into deep water, and again we had dogs some hounds, and \Barry was catching Roker, so after a good while we spent the last hour South of where we were and fish the tide out a better stamp of Smoothound fell to Peters rod, and more Skate... so we came to slack water when we decided to set up for the Clay Pigeon shooting.... well what a hot shoot-out it was, Troy started the proceedings, with a respectable score,
(always hard when you go first) but still a good score, then the pace got hotter as Peter, Paul, then Tony took their turn... but then Barry took the shot gun and showed us all how to do it, he was on fire...!!! half way through we even for the first time used the oscillating table, well Paul didn't miss one, once we made it harder... he is an awesome clay shooter cant wait to see how the next trip turns out..!!!
After the Shooting we made our way back 10 miles or there about's, the tide was now flooding, so as it was such a lovely day we decided to stop and fish for another hour and a bit, and I know some call then BAG |FISH but yes we fished for Roker, but this time the bigger variety we had several at 10 lbs, but Peter had a real stonker on and half way into the fight .... Bang..!! it was gone, when he wound in his hook had snapped in half in the curve... oh no cheap hooks...lol but as the guys were fishing for one of our lovely fishing trophies for the biggest fish of the day, I reckon that would have been it.
Oh well, that's fishing the trophy went to Tony, (Photo inset) and everyone had just a great day with fantastic weather...
Look forward to seeing you all next time guys,
Terry & Nicola.... Tight lines...!!! View Boats Page
