A cracking day on the Cod and Ling for yesterday’s lads.
The usual gathering of Mackerel first for the bait stocks and then off to a few wrecks south side of the harbour.
Bill Barraclough from Barnsley clicking a couple of double hookers of Cod, his best going around 6lbs.
Simon England, also from Barnsley taking the best bag with 15 fish himself with 10 or a dozen fish each for the other lads.
Chris Siddle, winner of the Spring competition and who also took the heaviest Cod prize in the Summer competition also with us yesterday. He took the best fish of the day, a lovely Cod of 9lb 12oz.
Chris is pictured inset.
Cheers for now and tight lines wherever you’re fishing!

Yesterday’s lads enjoyed a cracking 15 minutes on the 2 mile stream gathering their baits for the day, but didn’t enjoy the snotty North Westerly we were greeted with at the start of the day.
We started to the North of the harbour where we picked around 15 fish off 3 or 4 wrecks. A sprinkling of cod and ling mixed.
Out to the grounds on the 5 mile then, where the fishing was still slow with just a half dozen codling caught.
We finished the day off South side of the harbour on a couple of wrecks for another 10 or so fish.
All in all a steady day with good company and around 30 fish boated for their efforts.
Cheers

A couple of unfortunate mechanical problems has seen the boat tied up for a week or so over the last 2-3 weeks, hence the lack of reports from us.
Back at it now and the last week or so has been ok some days and slow on others.
The last trip out we steamed to the “wall” to get out of the tide a bit and the lads fished ok.
A couple of the lads taking around 10 fish each with cod to 9lb

This year’s Summer angling competition ended last weekend and the lads who fished on the Shy-Torque III weren’t disappointed.
Dave from Huddersfield was holding 1st place for a short time with a nice Ling of 15lb 06oz which he caught on the 3rd July.
Paul from Bridlington then took the lead with another nice Ling of 15lb 13oz on the 8th July which held the lead through to the end.
Chris from Skirpenbeck, who won the Spring competition with us, took the heaviest Cod prize on the very last day of the competition with a nice fish of 9lb 06oz.
Prizes were :- 1st overall - Paul from Bridlington winning £1000.00
2nd overall - Dave from Huddersfield winning £500.00
Heaviest Cod - Chris from Skirpenbeck winning £250.00
A great event yet again for all concerned and I’d just like to thank all those who fished with us this year.

The September competition starts here in Whitby on the 11th September and runs for a fortnight where there will be another £1000.00 first prize up for grabs!
Cheers and tight lines,

First day of the summer competition here at Whitby yesterday having lost Saturday to poor weather.
A run back to the wall after a couple of good days earlier in the week. Rubbish fishing!! Couldn’t find em for love nor money!!
A great hour or so sport on the mackerel though on the way back in.
Still a lovely day at sea with good banter.
I’d like to thank our sponsors for this competition,
Jill & Sandy from the Middle Earth Tavern in Whitby and also Luke & the gang at the Singing Kettle cafe.
Your support is most appreciated.
Cheers

A nice run to the “Wall” yesterday.
Perfect conditions for a cruise and the fishing was pretty good too!
The lads fished steadily for around 3 hours until the cross tide breeze spoilt things.
Around 60 lovely cod and ling boated up to 11lb.
The bait doing the best again.
Cracking day and great company.
Cheers

If I said the fishing yesterday was easy I’d be lying!
A big lift in the tide hampering our efforts somewhat.
We scratched around on the inshore marks, ground and a few wrecks and ended up with around 25 fish for the day.
A mixture of cod and ling as always, falling to the squid rigs and an odd one taking the shad.
Regular on the boat Pete Tamms taking the best bag with 8 fish himself.

The fishing yesterday wasn’t too bad to be fair.
We started on the rough ground on the 3 mile stretch and held a steady picking for the whole morning.
30 fish or so from the ground.
Cod and ling with a few oddments thrown in.
Dropped on to a couple of wrecks then to finish the day off where the lads managed another 20 or so fish.
All the fish still falling to the baited rigs.
Cheers for now.
Rich.

We had some good mates of mine aboard yesterday.
The trip was supposed to be a long one out to the Battleship again but the weather fell against us so they opted for a run to the wall instead where they picked away from the start.
Steve Bradbury from Upton having the best bag with 15 fish himself.
Baited rigs again doing the damage.

Struggled throughout the day yesterday until the last stop just before home.
30 odd fish for the day in total.
Best ling falling to Will at 12lbs and best Cod going to Ben Cope at 9lb 6oz
The heavier fish coming from the more inshore marks.
Nearly all the fish yesterday falling to the baited rigs.
Cheers and tight lines
