Wasn't sure I'd get chance given the reports for Storm Ellen but got to Holyhead Breakwater two and a half hours before afternoon High today hoping for the best.

Decided to try the quay at the start of the breakie for a change, never tried off here before but opted for the Uglistik Travel rod, 30lb braid and a 3 hook cut down sabiki rig tipped with small bits of rag straightdown the wall, a 1 oz weight was enough this close in.

A second drop shake - felt the fish and then it got off and all went quiet until I tried the other side of the corner I was set up on where it turned out there was a Wrasse party going on

Local fellah told me the mackerel were in and there was plenty of whitebait showing along the wall so every re-bait time I flicked it out for a go at them.

I was just watching a dinghy 150 yards off the wall pulling in a string of them when I had a take

As you can't usually drive down the breakie I presume this convoy had a match arranged.

The mackerel suddenly arrived in force just after that penning the whitebait against the wall with the water boiling like a pirhana pack attack in a way I've not seen in a good while and just as soon they faded away.

I went back to the Wrasse action,

didn't bother photographing them all but the Wrasse were still keen to play and a put up better scrap than the mackies I reckon.

About high the Mackies were back and obligingly jumping on 3 at a time at which point I was getting hungry and went to the drive thru of a different sort of Mackie!

Plan had been to try lures in the sluice at 4 Mile Bridge for the ebb but after fish a plenty that can wait for another day.

I watched two locals fishing the four mile bridge,they were catching live bait on the Holyhead side,then using it on the Rhosneigr side to fish for bass,under a float.they had a couple of bass each.
Nice day for you,thanks for the pics..
