    Report on-board Mistress

    This past week has been a productive one here at Whitby. We have seen good catches most days we put to sea when the conditions are suitable for us.

    One of the better days last week saw a good number of double figure fish coming over the gunnels.
    we took Cod of 12lb 8oz, 14lb 8oz and 18lb, plus a couple of 6lbers all in one drift! it was like stepping back 10 years!
    With it being a small tide the slack water period was a little longer than normal so we took the opportunity to get some big baits into the wrecks too taking a good number of Ling into double figures too.

    We had our second sharking trip too, we got a tentative bite halfway through the day which we waited for to develop, but never did, we wound in an empty hook! Then 20 mins toward the end of the session we got a positive run, the ratchet on the reel screaming off - it is exciting stuff when that happens! unfortunately we never hooked up, but we will be returning the sharking grounds on the next set of appropriate tides to try and get one on board for a cuddle!

    All in all its been a good week.

    Tight lines
