Report by Tojo 10th
April 2011 |
After the
disappointment of not getting out last Wednesday shore fishing due
to the sw, wind I was hoping that the 10th of April would be a good
start to the year and the man upstairs finally shone down on us for
a change.
the man upstairs shining down lol.

anyway arrived at Holyhead at 6.10am for the 7am sail ,and it was
13degrees at 6.35am ,cracking .. a good day ahead I hoped.
so down to the boat and the usual meet and greet was in order ..and
after the early morn brew and we set of to feather a few fish out
from the back of the breaky to pass half hr away ... 1st drop and I
lost my gear. right upto the shock leader.. not happy... so just
threw a rig on and fished it as it was.. managed a codling of around
1.5lb and a poor cod.. due to flapping over losing the rig I forgot
to take pics of these 2 fish....tut tut...
and so it was lines up and round to south stack.
for some feathering for hopefully herring (which ive never had )and
wasn't disappointed either... after ten mins I managed a few herring
and once we had enough for fresh bait and a few pollock we headed
for the deeps.
on arriving at the deeps we all dropped down and it wasn't long
before fish were coming out. from doggies to huss to tope. for sum
lads anyway...lol
2nd tope of the year of my way fell to chris ??think it was chris
anyway ... the first was 17lb and this one went to 18lb +

mean while I was killing myself bringing up cols and geths leads for
an hour.. and was having one of them days .... but the last half hr
saw me bring up my 1st huss of the year ... I think it beat my pb of
9.5lb but was so happy I just put it back after the photos..

then rebaited and back down for my catch of the day with a new pb
for a spurdog.
last time I had one of these was in the Orkneys. how happy I was to
hear geth say 15lb 3 oz...

after this there was still huss and a few more spurs making the way
on board.. but I was worn out lol and decided I was happy with my
fish and sat the last tens mins out.
lines up gents I heard and back to south stack before the last stint
on the muds.. a few fish came up here from herring to
ballens,pollock ,coalies, dogs.
I managed a ballen I lost another rig...

sneaky ray ..but it wasn't tobe... even so there was again a few
species showing from pollock, coalies,dabs, dogs, ...heres a few of
