Species Hunting

Posted on 17th September 2021 by Gethyn Owen

It’s not all about big fish, searching out all manner of species both big and small is great fun. We had a fantastic time fishing around the Pier wall in Trefor last week searching for mini species. The fish were plentiful. 8ft of clear water we watched in awe as the fish swam below us in great numbers. Common Blenny, Rock Goby, Corwking Wrasse, Lesser Weaver, small Pollack and small Whiting. Brilliant fun on very light gear and tiny hooks. More photos in Gallery 271

New stuff …

Posted on 26th June 2021 by Gethyn Owen

2nd in our 2020 My Way 2 species hunt, Graham Chadwick won a £200 voucher to exchange for new gear from the Pure Fishing range. With more species and fishing enjoyment in mind, Graham opted for a rod & reel from the new PENN ranges. PENN Wrath Bolescopic rods are available in two different versions; a lighter 7 ft version that can be used with weights up to 110g and a 8ft version up to 250g. These easy-to-transport bolo rods are well balanced and due to the sensitive tip, the rods have a perfect bite registration. The […]

Inshore fun

Posted on 21st June 2021 by Gethyn Owen

Excellent fun inshore chasing a few species, drifting for the morning followed by an afternoon at anchor. Plenty of wrasse around, ballans and cuckoos, great fun on light tackle. With added pollack, coalfish, scad and a few nice codling for John. Holyhead Deep was tiring! Spurdog and pack tope every drop, with a few double shots testing the muscles. Final anchor in the bay yielded a handful of hounds to cap a great day afloat with the crew from Milnrow. More photos in Gallery 266
