May is an exciting time in Holyhead as the fishing continues to improve.

General inshore trips are filled with an array of different species with pollack, wrasse and coalies on the drift. Anchoring up and we'll have continuous sport with  dogs, whiting, dabs, blonde rays, thornback rays, codling, gurnards & bull huss plus many more. With the largest draw being our consistent return of big smoothhound.

Offshore we will still have plenty of double figure huss, spurdog & conger along with some good tope fishing, with the tope increasing further in size from the 30lb'ers caught in April.

Smooth Operators  
Hounds first move in during early May, and hang around until early July. These fish go well into double figures and average around the 14lb mark,  with many specimens taken just shy of 20lb. We have also had a number of fish exceed the 20lb bracket in recent years. the most notable of which bagged a new WFSA Record for Brian Taylor From Wigan, who caught, weighed, photographed and released a starry smoothhound of 25lb 6oz.

Off Holyhead in the past 2 years, we have also noted a return of the fish for a month from late August into mid September, with these fish averaging around 8lb.

  Owing to the popularity of our smoothhound adventures, we also run evening trips in search of these hard fighting sharks. The trips sail from 5.30pm for either 4 or 5 hrs. Our favoured marks are only a short 30 minute steam from our marina berth, thus allowing you to tackle up and enjoy a quick brew before the action.
