Been a while …
With poor weather the end of Sept, a week away and relocating to the Menai Strait it’s been a while since we last set sail. A good forecast saw us set sail early this morning from Port Dinorwic, offshore to the wrecks. The morning was interesting. Plenty of fish showing but only being caught by the two Daves! Everyone else either lost fish partway up or snagged the wreck! No names of course … Slack water came and thankfully the odd fish still came aboard, a few wrecks and a run of tide later everyone started to remember how to catch […]

Weather Window
After over a week stuck ashore it was great to hear the sea beneath us last Saturday. Thankfully the fish played ball. We had fish every drift and on every wreck, fish boxes full with Peter taming the best at just over 14lb. Really enjoyable day with a great crew of misfits. More photos in Gallery 270

More fillets
The excellent sport continues offshore, with the wrecks alive with fish. Pollack are the mainstay of our wreck fishing with specimens to 13lb in recent trips. The odd cod also makes an appearance, with coalfish and ling on occasions too. More photos in Gallery 270

Fish, Fillet, Fish, Fillet …
Another Scorcher of a day afloat last week … not good when you’re a ginge like the skipper :D! You know it’s a successful trip when the lads need to fillet between wrecks to make room in our large fish boxes. Really enjoyable day with a great crew once again. More photos in Gallery 269

Sick
We’ve been enjoying some great weather of late and our days are fish filled together with a few laughs freezers are being stocked up. This today we had the average size below par with 5-6lb double shots coming aboard regularly, but eventually we found some bigger fish later on in the day. The new Berkley Sick Flanker once again showing it’s awesome fish catching abilities. More photos in Gallery 269

Weather!
Fun couple days off shore recently. last Tuesday was not for the nervy! A strong Northerly F4-5 that failed to drop off as forecasted left us with an interesting day afloat. Top that with the first few wrecks not producing it was getting difficult! Fortunately the fish switched on with the next couple wrecks and we managed to fill the cool boxes with fish. The following day was a better forecast, a change of plan to suit the weather delivered fish on every wreck bar one. Not the double figure stamp we’re used to, but a good 6-8lb average keeping the […]

More great days afloat recently, quantity down on previous trips but still plenty in the boxes & fillets to head home with.

The rods are equipped with K-frame stainless steel guides with titanium oxide inserts for extra durability. More photos in Gallery […]
