Report on-board Lead Us
First time out with Colin on Lead Us; in fact first time out from Lowestoft, but it won't be the last and Colin will always be top of the calling list when we return. A lovely solid boat and perfect with just four of us on board. A good long day out and excellent value for money. Very impressed with Colin's knowledge and boat handling skills and fantastic that the fish were professionally cleaned for us by the skipper on the way back to harbour. I haven't seen that since I was up in Whitby!! Cheers! Dave & Elliott

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Shy-Torque III. 4th, 5th + 6th January.
Mixed fortunes for the lads over the last 3 days aboard the boat.
On Friday (4th) we sailed to the 9 mile ground hoping that the water had cleared out. Sadly it hadn't so we steamed to a few wrecks on the 20 mile. They didn't produce too well either if I'm honest. The lads amassing around 40 fish between them. Most of the fish falling to squid bait.
A group of 4 lads from "Attic" nr Hornsea had the boat booked on Saturday (5th) and they didn't fair too well either! They managed a couple of dozen fish between them. Mucky water at present.
From what I was hearing on the radio everyone was struggling wherever they were, inshore and offshore, so I decided it was a good time to get the boat booked in for her annual lift out of the water.
Travelling to distant grounds, yesterdays group faired a lot better. Not so much quality wise but certainly quantity wise. Cod were boated to around the 7lb mark and Ling to just under 12lb. Nearly all fish taken on the bait yet again. All the lads walked away with a very respectful bag of fish for the table.
The boat is now high and dry on the dock and will be for the next week or so. Annual check over, antifouling and polish. Hopefully the water will have cleared a bit for our return.
Nigel Hall is pictured with a nice brace of cod caught on a double hook squid bait trace.

Report on-board Eastern Promise 2
Went out Sunday 6th Jan 2012. And was very foggy. It was first trip aboard the new Boat (See Video), and must say we were not disappointed. Usual 7am Start,and it was cold. Headed out and hit first spot. Where it was slow to start. In fact I had not had a fish by 11.00am. But Others had a few. Then a Move saw us find the fish. And we finished up with betweek 35 and 40 Cod from 3lb to 6lb, at least 15 Skate. Some good size Whiting and a scattering of Doggies. Couple of keeper skate,but rest went back, and we even were putting back the Cod. New Boat is Quick, so less time getting out which means more time fishing. And what a great time it was. Cheers Derek.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Dec 2012 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Extracts from our year review, please find the full report and photographs by copying and pasting the following link into your browswe http://www.goangling.co.uk/review-2012.htm
During the second week in March we had some pretty mixed fortunes with the weather in Holyhead; both sunshine and rain in equal amounts and the winds not quite knowing what they should be doing. Once again, the more settled weather early 2012 fell on spring tides with both days just under 33ft in height. Not a terrible thing, but owing to the big tidal strengths around our area of operation it restricts our movements to inshore work.
We were rewarded each day with a great early season mixed bag, including dogfish, bull huss, coalfish, whiting, codling, and a fair amount of thornbacks making it aboard My Way, all though smallish average size between 3 and 6lb but still first rays for the majority of captors. Surprise catch in the shallow waters was a nice 16lb conger eel.
Further excitement was heard on the deck one trip when some plump coalfish came aboard; a few of the anglers then stopped everything … for sushi. One of the lads had brought along a top quality sushi making kit, rice vegetables, dips, etc. – we simply had to provide the fish. I then watched as in a very professional manner aboard a slightly rocking boat he eagerly prepared a sushi meal.
**********
With the tides dropping for the following day, we decided that a trip off to Holyhead Deep was called for and then try for the hounds later in the afternoon. Our day started drifting for small wrasse, pollack, codling and coalie for an hour. As the tide dropped we made our way off to a mark offshore, which would see us anchored in around 180ft of water, with the drop off laying the baits around 220ft.
Roy was first into a fish, a nice spurdog just short of double figures; we won’t mention how the skipper knocked it off with the net though J. For the next 3 hours, all 7 anglers were treated to a big fish bonanza and from 200ft of water, they certainly felt it afterwards. Every 5 minutes there was call of net as double figure spurdog were accompanied by double figure bull huss!
**********
June saw My Way sail with great regularity. I wouldn’t say that the weather has been the best, far from it to be honest. But we managed to work around most of what the wind gods had being throwing at us taking each day as it comes.
This scenario helped out by some great crews, for example where our intended marks have been off to Holyhead Deep and the wind has blown, we have simply loaded up with a selection of rigs and baits including quality fresh peeler crab and enjoyed a species hunt inshore along with some great small shark action inshore.
Fortunately we have seen some very good double figure smoothhounds aboard My Way once again in 2012; sadly only 2 have topped the magical 20lb mark this year.
But with many anglers reaching personal bests averaging 15lb and a few with 18 and 19lb fish it has again been a successful period for us.

Fishing Report by Lyle Stantiford
on Supanova II (Weymouth, Dorset)

Report on-board Supanova II
It was finally nice to get out this weekend to get over the Christmas blues.
What a weekend it turned out to be, phenomenal Whiting fishing with a box full kept each day in the 2-3lb range with the best fish touching 4lb. Hundreds were returned to fight another day. On this Mark we managed a cod each day a nice plump 6lber on Saturday for Chris Corbin and a 20lb cracker on Sunday for Will Everett.
After their fill of whiting on Saturday the lads fancied a Crack at some Blonde Ray. SO we ventured back towards home stopping o one of my deep water Blonde marks after a quiet 20 mins the first Ray was Boated and then a Conger, the first Conger I have seen at this mark ever but down to the dirty water they had ventured off the nearby reef.
5 more Rays were Landed all in double figures, the best falling to Dave Borton with a 19lber. Also to my shock a further 6 Congers were landed and released including the best reef eel I have ever seen. This absolute beauty of 75lb+ landed and returned by Phil Rogers of Bristol.
All in all a fantastic weekends sport.
Who says winter fishing from Weymouth is Dull hey??!!
Happy New Year,
