Incredible weather for this time of the year. I hope everyone is benefiting from it.
Before we sailed yesterday we had a bit of a conflab about what tactics we should use and the majority vote was to have a run to some offshore wrecks.
We dropped on 4 wrecks out to 21 miles and the fishing wasn’t very good on any of them. Half a dozen off the first, then just a couple off each of the others.
No big fish poking their heads out as yet but here’s hoping for an improvement today when we have a run out to the “Wall”

Cheers lads and tight lines,

Perfect weather and conditions for yesterday’s lads but the fishing was far from perfect for us!!
We struggled to find the fish throughout the day and ended up with just the 5 keepers before returning home.
The approaching neaps hindering us with the flow slackening dramatically from the previous day. I think the fish are still there but we just need an increase in the flow again.
Still, we had a lovely day in the sun on a flat calm sea.
Good company and good banter.
Andrew taking the best fish of the day at 6lb 2oz.
The Spring competition is fast approaching here at Whitby and starts on Saturday 9th April.
We still have a few places available which are showing on the calendar on here.
Cheers

Phil Steele from Stockport had the boat to himself today on what was a gorgeous Spring day at sea.
Local laddy Fergus Powell from Egton joined us for a ride out too.
We set out on the flood tide at 6.30am to a couple of well known inshore Uptiding marks where we managed a half dozen Codling boated in the first half hour. Best fish there was about 4lb.
A couple of moves over the next hour or two gave the lads another half dozen fish with throwbacks too.
We finished the day off on a more Northern mark where we picked yet another half a dozen fish up. The stamp was much better on the last drop with Codling to 6lb 9oz for Fergus.
A very relaxing and enjoyable day with 2 cracking lads, excellent banter and some superb “Prog Rock” on the sound system for Phil !!
Cheers lads and see you tomorrow Phil.
Cheers

We managed a run out yesterday with a mixed group of lads. To be fair it wasn’t the best of days condition wise but the lads were keen enough to give it a try.
Uptiding was the order of the day with the tide running strong on a 5.7m.
The first stop proved fruitless with just a couple of Codling caught so we had a move a bit further up the coast and found a few more for the lads.
No great shakes but some good banter throughout the day.
Dale from Consett, County Durham on his maiden trip on a boat, was well pleased when he landed his first ever fish, a lovely 6lb Codling. A big well done to him.
Thanks for sailing with us lads and hopefully see you all again soon.
The weather predictions for this week look fabulous with very light winds, so if you fancy a run out just give me a bell.
Cheers

Some settled weather at last!
Yesterday was our first trip out for a while after the boat being clear of the water for a couple of weeks whilst she had her 5 yearly out of water survey.
A mixed group of lads joined us for the day and we decided to have a run offshore as the tides were easy.
The first wreck produced around a dozen fish to keep which was ok. After that it went completely downhill and the remainder of the trip saw just 3 more fish boated!
Regular lad Bill Barraclough taking the best Codling at 5lb.
A change of approach on our next trip where we will be doing some more Uptiding as the tides start lifting again.
Cheers

Had our first run out yesterday after a fortnight off for rubbish weather.
With the tides being in the neap range we made a decision to run off and try a few offshore wrecks.
Bad decision!!
After 3 wrecks we had just a couple of fish on board.
The water offshore is currently like pea and ham soup!
Nothing ventured as they say.
A chat with the lads resulted in a vote to run back inshore and try a few hours Uptiding.
As soon as we dropped in we had fish coming aboard over slack water and as the Ebb tide pulled through we started picking a few Codling up to end the day.
Good banter as ever aboard the boat.
Cheers for now,
Rich

After the decent day we had last Sunday we headed back to the same grounds yesterday hoping for the fishing to still be there. It wasn’t and we struggled to find fish.
Never two days alike!
Chris Roberts took the best Codling of the day at 4lb 6oz.
Young Fergus Powell from Whitby taking just 4 for himself. A cold but nice day on the water nevertheless.
Hopefully things will pick up again for the inshore work as the tides build again towards the weekend.
Cheers

A great day on the water yesterday on another Uptiding/Downtiding trip.
The banter was excellent from the off and the fishing was nice and steady too with around 30 keepers for the lads and nearly as many chuck backs.
Local laddie Fergus Powell out fishing everyone again with his cocktail baits of crab cart, squid and black lug.
Room tomorrow and Wednesday if you fancy a run out.
Cheers

Had a run out yesterday with a team from Hertfordshire who were in Whitby for a couple of days.
The lads preferred the Uptiding option we offer.
The day started slowly on the ebb tide with only 6 or so fish boated. A move on slack water to a little hot spot of mine to start the flood tide and the lads started picking Codling from the off.
20 or so fish came over the rails in the first couple ours of the flood with lots of chuck backs too until we were hounded by 3 sea dogs (seals!)
One last move away from the seals proved fruitless with only a couple of “mop” Codling landed.
A great day all in all though with excellent banter a bit of good sport at times.
Cheers lads and hope to see you all again this year.

Room left for a few this coming weekend if you fancy a trip.

Managed to get to sea yesterday with half a dozen lads.
3 regulars, Si, Bill & Dave from West Yorkshire and 3 other lads from Liverpool.
To be perfectly honest the fishing was rubbish with just 8 Codling caught and only 3 of those were keepers.
The usual Pouting and Whiting too.
We are going to leave it for a while now until the next Spring tides are running where hopefully, we will see an improvement.
Cheers for now and have a great New Years Eve!!
