Yesterday’s lads were another mixed group which to be fair, make up the majority of our teams these days.
The day started off slowly with the “devils” wind blowing from the ESE.
Hindered fishing for the first hour or two until eventually the breeze dropped out and conditions improved, which is when the fishing improved too.
The regular 3 out of the group, Chris Siddle, Alan Sutcliffe and Bill Barraclough fished the best, clicking fish everywhere we stopped.
Nice to see the inshore wrecks are showing again on these neap tides as they did a couple of weeks ago.
Fish falling to the baited Hokkai rigs more than the Shad yesterday.
Alan is pictured inset with one of his many Codling.
Cheers and keep a tight line,

Managed just the one day over the weekend on the Saturday and to be fair conditions weren’t the best at the start of the day.
The lads worked their best and managed just 15 or so fish between them. Lifting lines making for for quite tricky angling.
Nevertheless we tried 100% as ever and that’s all one can ask.
We cancelled yesterday for rubbish forecasts and the weather was perfect!!! Typical.
Back at it again on Wednesday where we have room for a couple more, so we’ll see how we do then.
Cheers

A nice steady day on the ground and a couple of wrecks yesterday, not going beyond 5 miles either which made for plenty of fishing time for the lads.
One or two “double ups” too which is always encouraging.
Baited rigs doing the business and a nice few falling to the shads too.
Neap tides approaching again so we should be catching even closer to port over the next few days if the weather stays kind.
Cheers

A bit of a struggle for our lads yesterday with only 25-30 fish to keep.
Simon Blenkin and his 2 lads Jack and George fishing the best on the boat with around 12 fish between them.
Nothing of any size to report either.
A nice surprise for Rodney from Stoke on our last drift with our first Mackerel of the year!
Cheers for now,
Rich

A nice day back on the water yesterday after a few days off for weather.
A mixed group yesterday with lads from Darlington, Warrington and other places.
The day started slowly with the tide and breeze together giving us a 2 knot drift.
We eventually came across a few fish out on the 5 mile ground where we took most of our fish.
I little stop on the 3 mile on the way back in to check the water clarity and the lads took another half dozen fish to finish the day off.
All in all a very enjoyable day out with cracking weather too. Some pictures of some of the lads fish today.
Cheers

The last of their 4 day visit to Whitby for our Fleetwood lads yesterday.
The forecast was much better than the day previous so we made pretty much a full day out of it.
Venturing no further off than 4 miles we picked away again at the inshore marks and the lads ended up with another nice show of Codling/Ling to take back home.
It’s been an absolute pleasure sailing with them and we look forward to seeing them again next year for another do.
The lads pictured inset with a few of their catch yesterday.
Cheers lads,

A challenging day for our team from Fleetwood yesterday.
Forecasts weren’t that clever with a freshening SW but they chose to give it a go.
Sailed at 9am and headed for the wreck we finished on the day previously. Picked the odd Codling of it for an hour but to be fair the drift was too quick.
We ran tight inshore to see if there anything moving after young Fergus who fishes with us regularly had mentioned his mates were catching Pollack on lures off the pier ends the day before. The water is as clear as gin in there and before the winds really started they had a nice few in 10-15 fathoms of water.
Back in the harbour for 1.30pm.
Last day for them today.
Fergus pictured with some of his inshore Codling to 5lbs.
Cheers

Well, what a bonus day the lads had yesterday,
We never would have thought we would have even sailed given the forecast predictions but, like they often do, they changed it for the better at the last minute and we got them away. Always handy when the team is staying with us for a few days.
I thought we’d start off on a wreck just 2 miles from shore just to see what the clarity was like.
Question answered on the first drift with 2 fish taken on the Shad! It produced another dozen or so fish. A nice start to the day.
With the neap tides on us again we wreck hopped throughout the day and picked fish up everywhere we went.
The best and one of my favourite wrecks I saved till last.
We hit it at slack water and the lads took around 40 fish from it. A great way to end the day. Total catch for the day would be around the 80 mark.
Still no “lunkers” but plenty of nice fillets for the lads to take for their families and friends.
Cheers and tight lines,
Rich

Fleetwood lads, Alan Brown and his mates Steve, Brian, Pete and Brian 2 joined us yesterday on the first of their 4 day charter.
The day started off fairly slowly with the drift being fairly quick,but also the water in the area we chose to start the day was fairly murky too. Just a handful of fish boated.
As the tide eased we moved to a different group of wrecks and the first one produced quite well for the lads with around 30 fish taken, the best fish, a nice Cod of 6lb 6oz taken by Alan.
Cheers for now,
Rich

A marked improvement for our mixed bunch of lads yesterday. The fishing, like it sometimes does, came alive with fish showing pretty much everywhere we went.
The first spot we visited fished the best with the lads taking around 50 fish between them by lunchtime.
Again, no big fish but Cod to just over 7lbs and Ling to over 8lbs.
A happy bunch enjoying the good fishing and great weather.
Cheers and keep a tight line!
