Okay here goes,
I was suffering from what I thought was a really very bad back a number of weeks ago (8) I went to the Dr's and they firstly suggested that that was what it was from excessive workload with the fencing contracting business I also run along with the boat. It was an exceptionally busy year this year for the fencing. Several visits on from there and the pain becoming ever more intense we decided to investigate with ever more tests. You name the test and I underwent it!!
It has turned out that I have a cancer in my blood called "Multiple- Myeloma" This has attacked my T6 vertebrae and partially my T10 in my back which is what has been upsetting me and giving me a lot of pain. A good thing really that it has come out somewhere as it could have gone unnoticed for even longer!!
Fortunately, they have detected it very early and we started the treatment "Full on" last Friday. The cancer isn't a curable one yet, but IS very treatable. I am going to be one of the very treatable patients!! Positive thoughts all the way.
All positive vibes in response only please. We are NOT doing negativity at all on this one.
Sadly, this has left my 2016 season up in the air and I am hoping to be active on the water again in 2017. Not sure when exactly as this will depend on my on going treatments. I will not be sailing until the end of the 2016 season. We will have to see what the pain levels are like come December and go from there. Anyone who has deposits on with us can be assured that they are safe with us until we are ready to sail again.
I thought I would tell everyone my news before they heard it through IDLE chittle chattle here at Whitby or from anyone anywhere else.
Kind regards
Rich.
I'LL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!! -

A couple of reasonable days over the start of the 2016 Summer competition. A couple of "Not so good ones too!" These mainly down to days spoiled by poor weather.
A couple of daily 1st places so far too!!
Simon England taking today's 1st place with a lovely cod of 14lb 2oz.
Good luck to all those who fish in this years comp.

Fishing very hit and miss at present lads. No great shakes to be perfectly honest. The Mackerel however are just starting to show signs of arriving. Not many as yet but here's hoping!! Could certainly do with a few more showing up during the competition.
Tight lines as ever.

Just a few dates left with spaces in this years competition which started last Saturday. Big cash prizes up for grabs!!!

Hi all,
Sorry it's been a while since we reported in but it has all been rather hectic for the Shy-Torque anglers of late and I've been suffering from a really nasty Kidney infection so not been on top form really.
I won't go into too much detail about the catches but on the whole the fishing has been very acceptable indeed. As always, we have had a few days where they have been a little illusive too. That's fishing!!
We had one of our association sponsors on board the other day. Bob Ellis from "Focus Training" his son Sam and a friend who helps Bob run his own private boat here at Whitby, Richard.
The trip was initially booked as a sharking trip, but because the Mackerel are running a little late again this year and the first couple of shark trips have proved negative we decided that a general days bottom fishing for Cod was going to be in order.
We kicked off the day a little slow working a few wrecks off shore. No great shakes, so we started making our way back towards Whitby dropping on various bits of scrap and ground. The day ended on the 9 mile rough where we had a lovely picking of Codling and Ling to round the day off.
Bob and the lads have re-scheduled their sharking trip for a day in August when, hopefully, we will be catching plenty of Mackerel and be having more success.
Bob, Sam and Richard are pictured.

The Summer competition is just a week away now starting 25th June. We still have a few dates during the 3 week event with places, so if you fancy a crack at the big money prizes give me a ring or contact me via the computer. We kindly ask that you remain ever loyal to our sponsors. The Skippers Cafe is our main sponsor this year and is open every morning now from 6.0 am. A great range of breakfast food before your trip. Hook, Line and Sinker tackle shop are also sponsoring this Summer competition and is open every morning from 5.45 am. Malcolm and Paula will welcome you warmly and have all your terminal tackle in stock including bait for the day.

With yet another beautiful forecast ahead of us today we started out this morning full of high expectations.
The lads who formed today's crew were from an American Community and all newbies to Whitby on their maiden trip.
The lads travelled from Essex and set off at midnight last night!
We started the day on a strip of ground some 7 miles NE for a very slow half a dozen fish for 3 drifts. A small move out to the 9 mile area trying a couple of strips of ground and a wreck proved slow also.
Time for a move to a distant wreck then and hopefully some better fishing. Arriving a shade after slack water we hit it perfectly. The 7 lads all hitting fish straight away!
The fishing continued steady for a good 3 hours or so until we eventually exhausted the wreck taking close to 100 fish.
The lads all agreed that the day was a cracker, both weather wise and fishing wise too and will definately be back.
The distant marks still proving far better than the more inshore marks again today.
The lads pictured with a few of their catch.
A big "Thank you" to Steven Anscombe for doing a sterling crewing job as ever.
Cheers and tight lines lads.

Some cracking weather at last here at Whitby after the bombardment of rubbish we've just had from the North.
The last couple of days we spent on the more offshore marks whilst we wait for the inner marks to come on after the Northerly blow and the algae clears.
A trip to the 20 mile wrecks proved very fruitful indeed for our mixed team on Tuesday, The lads enjoying some great sport on a varied amount of tackle ranging from rod classes as low as 15 lb. Exciting stuff when fishing in 200 ft of water!!
Paul Cookson had the best bag of the day with Cod to 8 lb. Pollack and Ling also. 15 fish in total for Paul.
The Summer competition is looming ever closer and starts on Sat 25th June and runs for 3 weeks inc.
We still have a few days left with a some spaces. If you fancy a go my details are as follows :-

27.05.16.
A vast improvement for today's mixed group of lads.
Most of the lads averaging around 6 - 8 fish each and all being caught on the shads and sidewinder lures. A few of the lads were baiting their lures with good results.
Simon England from Barnsley, South Yorks, enjoying a nice catch of 12 fish. A mixed bag of Codling and Ling.
Top bag for the day was Steve Mason from Chesterfield with 15 fish. Again, a mixed bag of Codling and Ling.
Nothing of any great size, but with the general Codling stamp being around the 4 - 5 lb mark and the ling running to around the 7 lb mark, a very enjoyable days work indeed. All today's fish coming from inside 6 miles too which is a very good sign.
It's looking like the dreaded algae is finally abating lads, so lets hope thing continue to improve for the season from here-on-in.
Cheers and tight lines as ever!!

Not much to report of late here at Whitby.
The algae is still plaguing us and is as bad as it's been for ages. Hopefully reaching its peak now with some clearer water just around the corner. One Mackerel caught yesterday !! First of the year here at Whitby to my knowledge.
Today we had half a dozen lads on board and their total catch for the day was 16 Cod, 2 Pollack and a few Whiting.
A lovely calm and partially sunny day however, made up for the rather slow fishing. The lads were all pleased with the combined efforts though and enjoyed their day.
Tight lines
Rich.
