Hello people of Anglesey fishing, i am a keen fisherman from young but i haven't been sea fishing in years, i used to go to this Breakwater regularly every year once a year for a 5 to 6 days worth of fishing. i will be going there this Friday and will be posted on the second bend of the breakwater. i have a few questions. 1: where are the Bait shops as it has been 7 years since i have been to holyhead...? 2:Where can i buy some tackle IE: Rods, reels and hooks etc? 3: any idea where there might be a nice place to stay over a night or 2. there are 5 of us and would like to be there for 3 days 2 nights. 7 years ago when i came i caught many nice fish form the Breakwater. 13lb Dogfish, 22lb Pollack, and lots of mackrel. using a variety of baits such as Mack, Rag, Lug and Squid. has anything changed over the years since i last came or is the same? Your answers can make this trip worth remembering for me as i have been planning to go fishing for years and finally i get my chance to go again. Please be kind and Tight lines everyone. Thank you

Ste took a couple of wrasse and a micro codling, Tony had 3 micro pollack, Wrighty took 4 wrasse an a blenny, I lost a damm good wrasse cause it beat me to a snag but managed to take 5 smallish ones an I also caught my first octopus.

fished the breakwater for the first time - went by train from manchester which took7 hours cos a cow got squashed on the line. Stayed in the Beach Hut Cafe B&B which was cheap and cheerful..then traisped over to the breakwater which seemed to take a life time..its so big that it doesnt look that far..but takes ages. Ledgered for several hours between 6pm and 10pm as tide was coming in with mack and blanked - just for something to do chucked a line in attached to a spool with a float and hook down the side of the wall and caught two nice sized whiting. ..went back next moring just after high tide and caught a doggie and nice fat mackeral (plus giant crab which I managed to hook in the joint of one leg). Only downside was the amount of crap people manage to leave behind them (3 stella bottles floated past me at one point).

arrived at the breakwater with my cousin about 8:30pm thursday on flood. set up using a cod pennel in the hope of something nice for tea, but nothing showing only doggies. changed over to a two hook flapper and carried on with the doggies and the odd whiting, saved the blank i suppose. meanwhile.... the bait traps had been out and catching plenty of big prawns small lobsters and crab, again nothing big enough to take apart from the juicy prawns. all the small fish we caught, ie pollack whiting poor cod and pout were used as conger bait, only resulting in one strap landed. tasted good though! come daylight we changed our rigs to three hook booms using chopped rag as bait, resulting in quite a few nice little wrasse. fished through till dinner time and decided to call it a day as we were both completely shattered. all in all a very enjoyable night and we will be back on the 18th...thursday. tight lines

Report:

Usually fish the breakwater but after reading the last post decided to try the same place - the ice machine in the little fishing harbour (head to ferry terminal and take the next turning off the mini-roundabout - Turkey Shore Road). Caught nothing at all - not even a nibble. By the way Johanna, the ship you saw docking there was Irish Ferries fast ferry 'Johnathan Swift', the HSS is Stena Line's fast craft 'Explorer' and docks at a specially built terminal out of the way.

Report:

Fished under the ice machine untill the super HSS docked, which was like fishing in a washing machine !! LOL Lovely bag of very big whiting. Terrific bites and fights, very different to fishing under the arches at Old Colwyn where the whitting just give in ! Will be back up in a week, staying two weeks will let you know what appears from the depths ! The bloke next to me had one of the biggest welck on his hook I have ever seen, even when 3 tonne come in on a pot boat. That is what the condemmend crab is for pilled on the quey

Johanna Bloom

Report:

Fished the inside of the breakwater on the last bend from low up for a couple of hours or so. 10 Whiting between 6-10 inches. Her indoors took seven of them and keeps reminding me. One point though - where's the doggies? The breakwater is usually crawling with them. Wondring wether the seal that hangs around by the first bend is eating them all. Still it's need is greater than ours. There is a new bait and tackle shop in Holyhead on William St (just behind and parallel to Market St which is the main st). Its called Winnie's Worms and is open 7 days a week 8 till late. Run by a local angler. Top bloke. Always has good selection of fresh and frozen, tackle, lures, rods etc etc and very reasonably priced home-made rigs.

Report:

Well what a night. Got to Point Lynas for the usual satarday night Conger Bash only to be blown off. So it was off to the Ice Machine in Holyhead Harbour. Some low life had dumped at least 10 big fish boxes of edilble Crab and at least 8 big fish boxes of Doggies on the dock (you come probably smell this in Ireland) the place was minging. however did bump into Chris from widness (havent seen him since i fished this spot two years ago) and meet some nice lads from the wirral (tony his Dad and his mate). Fishing was slow but i did catch one whiting and a lobster which were returned. Ideal place for the beginner but anyone with any nouce about them wants to give this place a miss unless you enjoy catching pin whitting. all the best Dave Conger

Dave Conger

Report:

Managed to fit a couple of hours in up to HW at the lighthouse end of the breakwater. On the way there was delighted to see two Seals in the harbour near the wall, this after having seen a school of Dolphins breifly near South Stack. Several anglers fishing the inside of the breakwater one or two reporting Pouting and small Pollock. When I got to the lighthouse platform there was another angler there who caught several small fish whilst I was setting up. We fished fairly close to each other using similar baits (Crab, Rag, Mackerel) though he was able to cast a considerable bit further than me. Over the next two hours (up to HW) I caught 4 Pouting and a Pollock of about 1lb. The guy next to me caught several Dogfish, 3 or 4 Pollock about the same size as mine and 1/2 dozen Pouting. He was a local lad who knew the breakwater well and told me that he considered the fishing to be poor there at this time of year, the colder months being much better. Hadn't realised how strong the current is around the lighthouse, had problems holding bottom at times. Also hadn't realised just how snaggy the ground is there close in. Noticed that ther local chap was using a lead lift and was fishing well beyong the strongest part of the current. Big casts a definate advantage. Beautiful evening, great scenery, RAF doing aeorobatics above us and plenty of passing shipping to watch. All in all very enjoyable. Tight Lines all.

Report:

fished from 7AM to 9PM, started off with some small Wrasse, both cuckoo and Ballan, after lunch bagged up with all sizes of wrasse, biggest being about 3Lbs. As tide was coming back in, A small Huss was the fright we needed, and some small pollock close to the lighthouse wall was the finale of the day. A superb day fishing coupled with Cracking sunshine. Will be back here very very soon.

Stephen & Scott

Report:

Fished 2 hours of the ebb and 4hours flood. Had a few dogs and pin whiting on the ebb and then the flood started. The dogs arrived in force they were virtually crawling up the rods after the bait in the box !. As soon as the bait hit the bottom the tips were bouncing and this carried on until we ran out of bait. I ended up putting whole squid on to slow them down whilst I had a cig and coffee. No matter what bait or cocktail used the dogs pin whiting and crabs were straight onto it. Had a huge spider crab doubled up with a good doggy, had a right job trying to get them into the drop net. The crab measured 2' 6" across its claws when they opened up. Had a really enjoyable day, pity no fish to keep. Thanks to the two local lads who gave us spare bait after they got fed up of dogs and whiting. Dont know where they got it from but it was the best fresh bait I have seen.

Report:

Fished at the far end off the lighthouse platform, fished up to high. Caught plenty of wrasse, pouting, pollack and dab. Also caught a massive spider crab and an equaly massive edible crab. People around us caught wrasse, doogies and pouting. Young girl with her dad was fishing with a hand line and caught a huge wrasse that was easy over 3lb and was probably the catch of the day if not the year (got a piccie if you want it). Now the bad news - a group of entrepeneurs have bought a train and intend to build a railway for tourists running from the museum, along the prom and to the end of the breakwater. They also intend to build some kind of maritime classroom at the end on the lighthouse platform. Obviously this will be built during the winter ready for next summer. As soon as more details appear in the local rag I will put on here as it will obviously affect the venue as a fishing mark.

Spent from low tide to near high tide (had to leave for "corrie" - you know the score). Fished at point 18. We caught 1 whiting on the inside (mack) and a pretty little wrasse on the outside (live lug). People were catching but not in great numbers. next people up from us caught 2 doggies . Up at the light house the haul was 1 codling, 1 octopus, 1 whiting and a doggie. It has been very poor here for a week or so and I think it's a combination of clear water, stonking hot weather, and very low, calm high tides. I've checked my tables and I reckon next weekend will be well sorted at this easy venue cos the tide is over a metre higher.

Report:

Got my tackle out on Saturday, first time in a long time, and its seems that I lost any knack that I had in weather forecasting (checking it before leaving helps!). It was a simple plan, head towards Ravens Point, catch a few mackerel and then use them as conger bait. When I got to Ravens point the weather/sea was borderline. I did manage to find myself a safe vantagepoint and get half a dozen mackerel, but the weather was just getting worse, more like January than July. So I had a change of plan, went to the chippy in Holyhead and on to the breakwater. Ended up with 5 doggies, 1 wrasse and 1 rockling, an average days fishing on a below average night, but damned good to be back out again.

Fished 1.5 hrs up to high and 2.5 after at the breakwater. Only dogs but lots of them, every cast on any bait. After a short sleep I moved on to mackerel rock nice and early before the hordes arrived

Report:

Three of us fished the ebb of a small tide from about 2.30 until 7pm. Started on the inner wall, near the lighthouse, with the wind in our faces. One doggie in two hours (to worm and liver) encouraged us to move up to the lighthouse platform, where the wind was even more disruptive - lots of new scratches on me fishing rod! One small starfish was followed by my first octopus, but no more doggies until a couple showed up in the last half hour. Quite warm cosidering, and it didn't rain.

Fished from HW Sat afternoon to low water Sun morning,started well with a steady stream of fish at all points of the tide with Whiting ,Dab & Doggies coming in.r There were a lot fishing the outside wall but with the wind direction & the swell breaking over the top of them I can only imagine it was a match,most people were on the inside,dry & sheltered,with fish.r About 5 Sunday morning the fish dried up & I only caught one tiddler before going home at 10AM but all in all a very pleasant weekend r One thing to note was that every one had been sat in the little alcoves & had bagged there rubbish then left the bloody bags behind,there are no bins on here but as soon as you get on to the main road there are dozens

Report:

Started 1 hour before high and fished through to low water. Well over a dozen whiting, 6 doggies, 2 pout, 1 small strap conger & and 1 rockling. The whiting were very fussy, small and few and far between with worm or cocktail baits, but use a bit of mackerel on its own and they were climbing up the line. Lots of fish, 5 different species, happy enough!

Report:

Fished the mark on the first bend from about 8 pm till 11. Not a bite. Guy fishing next to me said he had had a doggie before I got there. As I was leaving two guys turned up to set up, asked how i had done, they said that they had fished it the last FIVE nights running and blanked every night!! They said they new there was something wrong, they are going to the doctors this week with suspected Big Kev syndrome. Symptoms are fishing in Wales crap, but you still keep going back lol lol!!!!! (True that they blanked the last five nights by the way)

Report:

After a rather dissapointing session at Porth Trecastell I decided to try the high tide at Holyhead breakwater. Found a spot just after the second bend and setup one rod inside and one rod outside (gives you a bit of a workout running up and down the steps). The rod on the outside produced just 1 rockling but a good size at about 1lb. The rod on the inside was much more active with one doggie and a tiny one at that, just 12 inches, and loads of pouting (or were they poor cod, don’t know the difference). Tried a couple for conger bait at slack water but no joy.r

Report:

being a coach driver has its advantages, took the baton twirlers to holyhead and my fishing tackle. I then had three hours of solid boredom not one bite, knock, bait touched, nothing zilch. this used to be a good venue not anymore thanks for the hard work on the site, Phill

Report:

Fished over low to high on Wed. Half a dozen dogs on mackerel, two decent whiting on squid and a fowl hooked octopus (it came as a double header with one of the better sized dogs, had my heart racing for a bit, thought I was into a good fish).
