Fishing has been a similar mixed bag of excellent days, good days, reasonable days and bloody awful days. Sadly there doesn't appear to be a trend to the fishing, the unsettled weather playing havoc with the fishing. Locating the fish is one thing, actually hooking them another one.

All that then soon forgotten when we have a nice settled spell with the fishing equally rewarding.

When the weather has allowed, we have made our way out to the deeps and been rewarded with some excellent tope fishing, catching plenty but also dropping far more. Even these tope seem to be very fussy when feeding. Our second run of smoothies has seen some good fish coming aboard the boat, with the average size this time a little smaller than earlier in the year at 8lb's.

Some of my favourite fishing is whilst on the drift over shallow water for pollack and wrasse, luckily neither fish has been disappointing, offering anglers some great sport on relatively light gear.

A good time is usually had by all, especially I an Cuffin, pictured here enjoying a birthday treat aboard My Way - the Rabbit cake is along story - remember to ask me when on My Way next.

There haven't been many updates for a good number of weeks now, despite my determination to update at least once a fortnight, sorry!

Fishing has been excellent of late ……………… on one day, and then extremely poor the following day.

Despite being in a fortunate position in that we have been able to sail most days in recent weeks, the weather has often restricted our plans. Where we often want to find ourselves out in Holyhead Deep on the tope hunt, we are restricted inshore on occasional tope along with the usual standard consisting of plenty of dogs, huss, congers, gurnards etc at anchor and then ballans, cuckoos, pollack and wrasse on the drift.

Along with the odd tope inshore, the smoothies are still knocking around – nothing in comparison to late May and early June this year, but still something to put a nice sporting bend in the rod.

Fortunately this doesn’t dampen the enthusiasm of most anglers, and a really enjoyable day afloat can be had by all. But where has the British summer gone – are we going to get the Indian summer predicted?

I don't know, but wish everyone luck with their fishing exploits.

There haven’t been many updates for a while now; simply owing to the weather gods looking down on us (barring the odd NW gale), and Poseidon helping My Way out with some real quality fishing on most of our expeditions from Holyhead.

Inshore there have been some good bags of pollack and coalies with a few decent wrasse now fighting hard.

Hopefully some more fish to follow this week as we start a hunt for some spur dogs and early pack tope.

These are our Easter Munchies

Yes I was nervous and  ******* myself !

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Anyway - at least the weather should be great for all the odd jobs that have piled up and the customary wash and lick of paint.

ABU Ambassadeur has long been a name associated with quality and reliability.

This is why 12 brand new multipliers have been purchased for use with our rods.

Strong and robust, with a gear ratio of 5.3:1, these reels are ideal for charter boat fishing.
