    Report on-board Just Fishing

    We`ve lost a fair few days fishing since our last report thanks to the weather....... the few days we have had out have been quite heavy going, plenty of nice sized fish showing on the chosen wrecks but they are playing hard to get!
    We`ve had Ling and Cod onboard along with loads of Gurnard and Dogfish along with strap Conger up to 25lb taking flappers on the drift intended for Ling, (great sport on lighter gear!) not to mention hundreds of Pout. Also there are loads of Mackerel around at the moment with over 300 being caught in half an hour before we head out to the Wrecks.... Spaces still available for Torbay fishing festival.... plus we are available throughout the winter for the Large Pollock and Cod run.

  • 07/2015 Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)

    Jul 2015 by Gethyn Owen

    Report on-board My Way 2

    July kicked off aboard My Way with some superb starry smoothhound action for our anglers, with many not only recording their first hounds, but manageing double figures including a 20lber for Cheshire angler Steve Bodey and one that fell a couple ounces short for visiting Irish rod, Cormac Burke

    Along with the hounds a good mixed bag was boated that day with some big huss and colourful cuckoo wrasse posing for the cameras.

    Sadly the weather for the first couple weeks of July played hardball with us and despite a full diary, we managed to sail on only a handful of days. Remaining inshore with the temperamental forecast, we still managed to bag a good variety of species for those afloat with us, including hounds, rays and some nice pollack and wrasse whilst drifting under the rocks.

    By the middle of the month, the winds started to ease for us; fortunately this coincided with some neap tides. On 14th, we had a run around the coast into Trearddur bay, drift fishing along the way and then anchoring up in the bay for a mixed bag of species
    Our thoughts set firmly on the small journey in some slightly deeper water. Opting not to travel right out to Holyhead Deep we anchored up that afternoon on a patch of mud that contained a good variety of more predatory species such as spurs and tope.

    We weren’t disappointed, all anglers aboard recoding numerous spurdogs with the vast majority well into double figures. A couple days in Holyhead Deep is good for the soul, just wish the weather Gods would be more considerate.

    Fortunes varied the following week, with the weather once again remaining unsettled. Despite being unable to travel as far as wished at times, working around the weather and tides we still managed some superb fishing on most days, with the odd few proving to be a struggle despite our very best efforts.

    Wrexham based angler Meilir, was desperate to catch his first tope, with the strong winds scuppering our travel to Holyhead Deep had resigned himself to failure on one particular day. A glimmer of hope was offered when anchoring on the mussel beds, this time of year tope moves in and the possibility of capture is always there. Lady luck was shining down this time around as Meilir bagged a low double figure tope on his first attempt.

    Despite trying conditions in this year of obscene weather, we have had some fantastic days afloat, enjoyed with some great anglers.

  • 08/2015 Fishing Report by Ross Parham on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)

    Aug 2015 by Ross Parham

    Report on-board Spot On!

    Well I am back from holiday and have completed just 4 trips since my last report and some cracking fish Spot On has caught.
    A couple days wrecking few up loads of Ling up to 25lb 8oz, cod to 22lb, Pollock to 16lb, Whiting to 3lb 8oz and Black bream to 6lb 4oz.

    A session at anchor resulted in 89 conger eels hooked with 60 being boated up to 53lb, all eels were 'T' Barred off at the side of the boat so my arms are aching.
    A couple of drifts at the end of the day with lures resulted in some small Pollock and a few bass.

    2016 Diary for weekends is now full until end of October and many weekdays have also gone so if you want to fish on Brixham's number one charter boat and the only Catamaran and still the fastest, newest vessel in the port let alone the ONLY boat who will try 100% to catch you a fish of a lifetime and just look at the photos and you will see for yourself.

    Thanks to Sponsor's SIDEWINDER and TOP RIGS for giving me the end tackle that catch these awesome fish.
    I have this great tackle for Sale as mail order so drop me a call.

    Brixhams premier boat by far!!

    Pictured is Terry with his monster Black Bream of 6lb 4oz. (Well done that man)
