Some lovely winter cod fishing for our group of Polish boys this week.
We had a great day weather wise too so we pushed out to a couple of wrecks on the 18 mile range. Both wrecks producing nicely with cod and ling falling to the squid, but the jellies taking more of the cod.
A good indication that the water is nice and clear still.
Nothing big, but with cod to around 6 lbs a great days sport for the lads.
Chris Zapatski is pictured with a couple of his better cod.
Cheers

We managed to squeeze another day in yesterday with a mixed group of lads.
The fishing remains fairly good on the offshore marks with a nice number of fish for each and everyone on board. Fish taken on both the artificials and the baited rigs.
Looking like we will get out again tomorrow if the forecast stays as predicted where we have room for 4 or 5 anglers. Individuals as always are most welcome.
Cheers and tight lines

Morning lads and lasses,
Not been for a while now what with the crappy weather we've been getting, so not much to report on really. However, looking at the predicted weather forecasts from the start of next week, it's looking like we might just get away a couple of days (if predictions don't change!!) When we have been getting away it's been fishing fairly well both inshore at anchor and also the offshore marks too.
Days next week with room are listed here :-
Tuesday 11th. Room for 2.
Wednesday 12th. Room for 6.
Friday 14th. Room for 7.
Individuals always welcome.
We will, as always, be sailing right through the winter period. The boat will be out of the water for general maintenance for just one week sometime in January or February, so if you fancy a run off with us any time just drop me a line. Remember, the winter cod fishing here at Whitby can be as good, if not sometimes better than the summer months so keep an eye on the calendar and weather windows and we'll do our best to get you a days sport sometime. I'll sail if there are only 3 people booked. You don't need to be a full boat booking.
Cheers for now and keep the lines tight where ever you fish!
Rich.

Yesterday we had lads aboard from as far afield as Cambridge, Boston, Lincs, Leeds and Liverpool.
On a decreasing NE forecast we made our way out the ground marks on the 7 mile where we picked a handful of fish up. 3 of them falling to the shads and sidewinders and all 3 of them foul hooked! A couple of small codling and ling on the bait too.
A sign that the water wasn't that clear on the bottom after the recent fresh easterly winds . We pushed out a couple of miles further where the fishing picked up a bit.
The cod and ling were taking the lures fair and square there which was great to see. The baited rigs also taking fish as well. Hook Line & Sinker tackle shop supplying top quality bait as always.
A nice picking of cod around the 4 lb - 5 lb mark and ling to 7 lb.
The best fish of the day however going to Paul from Boston in Lincolnshire. A cracking cod of 15 lb 8 oz and a PB for him! Well done.
The windy weather is set in now for a few days but hopefully we will be back at it again next week where we have room each day from Monday providing the weather improves!!
As always individuals are very welcome and we will sail with just 3 anglers.
Paul from Boston is pictured inset.
Cheers and tight lines

My brother in law, his mates and a couple of others joined us on the boat yesterday for a days inshore anchor fishing (uptiding)
The fishing started off quite well with some good bags of codling by lunchtimes slack water. The flood tide in the afternoon not producing much at all to be fair with maybe another 15 or so fish between the lads.
Never the less, a thoroughly enjoyable day for all on board with a nice few codling for the table.
No big fish landed on the boat. Our Dave and Simon England boating around 25 codling between them and a good number of throw backs too.
Cheers lads and see you on the next one.
If you fancy joining us for a days anchor fishing, give me a call on 07733 233352
Room for 7 individuals next Friday (30th)
Cheers

Nigel Steer, his lad Ben, Dave and 2 of their mates joined us last weekend. Sadly, we haven't moved since then due to the fresh easterly's.
A good forecast for the day and with great conditions too the lads fished very well for the best part of the day. Cod to around the 7 lb mark and Ling to 11.5 lbs. The lads ending up with around 70 fish between the 5 of them
Our Adam had a crazy idea he wanted to try catch a fish in 30 fathom of water on a mackerel spinner! Using the shad method with a 12 oz lead and 3 ft leader he had a go and did just that. A lovely Cod of 7 lb on a spinner!!
How the tiny treble held together I'll never know. Testament to the hook or his angling skills???? !! Maybe a bit of both?
Adam filleted all the fish for the lads on the way back to port.
The lads are pictured inset with some of their catch.
Cheers and tight lines

Pinched another day between some poor weather yesterday with a mixed group of 8 lads.
We played around on the ground locally known as the "Highlights" pretty much all day and picked away at Codling and Ling. Fish falling to the bait and the lures too.
One of our more regular anglers, Bill Barraclough (fishes every other week!!!) was fishing with us and had the best catch with a dozen fish. I also had a dozen myself on the rhubard and custard shads. All in all, a very enjoyable day.
Spaces next week on Monday and Tuesday. Come and get some fish before Xmas!!!
Cheers and tight lines as ever

We keep squeezing a day or 2 in between the windy weather.
Last Saturday was our last day away. The weather wasn't the best to be perfectly honest and the tide was running a bit sharpish too but the lads worked hard and were rewarded with a sprinkling of cod and ling each.
A couple of "doubles" of codling on the baited rigs. Best fish on the boat was a cracking (for Whitby) Tub Gurnard caught by Neal Wadsworth from Halifax at 2 lb 13 oz.
Next weeks availability :-
Mon 19th Nov. Room for 4.
Tues 20th Nov. Room for 7.
Wed 21st Nov. Empty boat. ( Will sail with just 3 )
Cheers and tight lines

A real family feel on the boat yesterday. Simon Blenkin, his sons Jorge and Jack and friend Terry joined us after we had cancelled them for poor weather the day before.
We started the day on the 7 mile ground where we had had a decent couple of days last week. Not so good to start the day with just a couple of cod landed. We ventured out to the 9 mile where the lads started to pick up a few more fish including 1 lonely mackerel!!
Best fish of the day caught by young Jorge (10) A lovely plump cod of 8 lb 1 oz. A very happy young man indeed!!
The lads finished the day with over 100 lb of fish between them so all in all a very enjoyable days sport.
Pictured inset, the lads with some of their spoils.
See you again soon lads.
Cheers

A couple of decent days aboard the Shy-Torque Thursday and Friday this week. The forecast not really good enough to run off any distance so we worked the ground and a couple of wrecks around the 7 - 9 mile areas.
On Thursday we couldn't catch a fish on the artificials and everything was boated on the bait. On Friday we saw the fish taking the shads and sidewinders again. Never 2 days alike!!
Both days we boated around 40 cod and a dozen or so ling.
My son Adam having a good catch himself with 14 cod to 9 lbs and a couple of ling on the Friday.
