Inshore and the fishing was fairly hectic once
again with a good variety of fish coming aboard My Way. Along with
some good
spotted rays, we had a few
thornies and blondes. The
blonde Ray on the right was a good
size, however only tipped the scales at 15lb!
Other species included the world famous
Welsh Tiger Shark, yep honest, it was
reported so in the papers a few years ago - we normally call them
dogfish though :-). Plenty of
red &
grey gurnards around along with a few
nice tubs. The
Tub Gurnard is not a fish we catch in
abundance, but 2010 has seen a fair few around the 2lb mark.
Further catches inshore included pollack, huss,
whiting, codling, smoothies, dabs, plaice, strap congers and a few
others.

We managed a few trips into Holyhead Deep, however after 5 excellent
months gone by with huss, tope and spurs in abundance, the trips of
September returned very few hard fighting sharks. Plenty of huss,
however only a handful of tope and a few small spurs were really all
that put bends in the rods. During the a Maritime Festival at the
Marina and Holyhead Sailing Club there were a few visitors from the
Pygmy Navy -

| On the right one of the many
red gurnards that we've landed
this year. This was Mike's first ever
red, so a great catch for him
that was photographed a fair few times :). With the weather
playing it's part in scuppering a fair number of days afloat
during September, I have slowly been building up our Fish
Identification pages.
They have been under construction for a fair while now and
really still have a little way to go. The pages are not designed
as a complete species reference tool, more a photographic
identification of the many species caught aboard My Way.
There is however a small amount of text to assist with id and
also some facts about the specie -

Here
ends our brief September report, hopefully a better October will help
forget a few of the woes that September brought. Currently though, a
F6 to 7 NE has put paid to todays outing, though with some high
pressure looking to move in early next week I'm keeping my fingers
crossed. Enjoy your fishing where ever you go .... (My
Way availability) |
