Win this winter 2019-20

Posted on 16th August 2019 by Gethyn Owen

My Way 2 is scheduled to return to Port Dinrowic for some great winter fishing within the comfort of the Menai Strait and we have teamed up again with our sponsors at Pure Fishing (UK) Ltd to offer 5 new fun competition days aboard My Way 2.

Getting afloat

Posted on 15th August 2019 by Gethyn Owen

Weather has been trying our patience lately, we’ve cancelled far more than we’ve sailed over the past week as the current run of poor weather continues. Sandwiched between high winds we have been able to grab a few days afloat with some good results. Earlier this week we had a run around the island in search of rays. We caught a good number of thornbacks together with huss, mackerel, whiting dogfish and others. Tope have been feeding for us too in Holyhead Bay. A few drifts to start the day to gather some fresh baits to supplement the frozen mackerel […]

Return to the Strait – Oct 2019

Posted on 10th August 2019 by Gethyn Owen

Following a successful winter season 2018/2019 fishing from the beautiful Menai Strait, My Way 2 will return to Port Dinorwic Marina during the first week of October 2019. On the Strait we enjoyed some superb winter sport from a variety of different species. A mystical part of Wales that affords shelter and calm seas from all wind directions! Within the sheltered waters, most trips saw a succession of species including witing, dabs, codling, dogfish, huss, smoothhound, conger and an array of other species. Venturing outside when weather allowed we caught plenty of thornback rays and spurdog amongst others. This year […]

We snuck out

Posted on 9th August 2019 by Gethyn Owen

The weather hasn’t been doing us any favours this week, we managed to sneak out only once. Fishing wasn’t the best given the winds preceding our sail, but we did manage a good mixed bag including a couple tope and some rays to keep spirits high. Hopefully the weather will settle down soon and allow for some more great fishing More photos in Gallery 251

Rays and sunshine

Posted on 5th August 2019 by Gethyn Owen

Sunshine, calm seas, a great crowd of anglers and plenty of tope. Today was sorted! Damn them tope, they failed to show. Fortunately we sandwiched our assault on the tope with a try for rays, they played ball with a good number to the boat, nothing too big but enough to keep all happy and species cards photographed. I seldom get the chance to wet a line, but managed to have a fish myself today, chilled and relaxed in some superb weather. Cheers chaps More photos in Gallery 251

Tagged huss

Posted on 5th August 2019 by Gethyn Owen

Last month My Way 2 was featured on Will Millards Go Fish series on BBC One Wales, our section looked to explain the importance of tagging sharks to record their growth & movements, protect when necessary and how anglers can assist marine biologists in these studies. Over the last few years we’ve been joined regularly by Laura from Wobby Shark Savers tagging the likes of smoothhound, spurdog, tope and huss. Recently on the last drop of our time afloat visiting angler Paul landed a bull huss with a tag identical to those we use. After a weigh and a quick […]

Summer cod

Posted on 30th July 2019 by Gethyn Owen

Following the harsh weather of the weekend, the winds abated on Monday enough for us to head 20miles off for our latest wreck fishing adventure. Fortunately for everyone onboard the weather and fish all combined to give us a fantastic days fishing. As soon as we stopped the wreck gave up fish for every angler on every drift. Single and double shots of fat cod averaging 7lb with the biggest weighing in just short of 10lb, keeping us busy. A couple weeks ago this wreck in particular was full of plump pollack to 12lb, today the cod were on the […]
