The April competition has just come to an end with some cracking weather making for a great couple of weeks here in Whitby. We on the Shy-Torque tried our best as always in these events but couldn't manage the big one. Our best fish in this comp being a ling of 12lb and a few ounces, some 3lb short of the overall winner. Never the less everyone who entered with us had a great time and enjoyed some good fishing. A good few daily prizes were won with us also. We'd like to thank all those who fished with us in this years event and hope to see you all again soon. Maybe you could have a crack at the big one in the Summer festival ( 18.06 - 10.07 ) Pictured is Terry Harrison from Halifax with a 1st daily prize winner of 10lb.

Another mixed group of lads joined us on the 28th and had a great days sport aboard the Shy-Torque III. The fishing on the marks inshore is starting to improve a bit, however we found our best sport on a couple of wrecks some 17 miles to the East of the harbour. Plenty of cod to 8 / 9lb and plenty of pollack too. Best pollack being one of Alan Wards ( pictured ) from Whitby at 9lb. Cheers lads and we'll see you all again soon.

A very frosty morning greeted us on Friday just gone. Usually perfect conditions after a keen frost but sadly we had a NW breeze for most of the day which hampered the fishing for us. However during the period over slack water we did manage to find a good number of codling to the 7lb mark on a few of the inshore wrecks. Most of them falling to the squid bait. The hokkais also taking a few fish. Nothing on the shad on the day which was strange after the previous few trips where they had been working well. Anyway the main thing is is that the fish are still showing here at Whitby and the signs for the season are looking very good indeed !!

The weather today here at Whitby was superb as I'm sure it was in a lot of other angling ports around the country. We had a mixed group on today from as far afield as Southport. We made our way to the ground on the 9 mile to start with very poor results! Then, on and out to the wrecks on the 20 mile stream, again with fairly poor results considering there had been nobody out there for about 3 weeks! Oh well only one thing for it then. Another charge out to the "Wall" and fingers crossed all the way there. Good call !! Arriving there at around 9.30a.m and fishing through to around 2.45pm all the lads amassed a good amount of both cod and ling. Squid taking the better fish but the shads also catching well. Best cod of 10lb falling to Paul Pantellerisco from Southport ( pictured ) and best ling of around 10lb also going to Paul. A very fun filled day with both excellent fishing, excellent humour and excellent weather. Cheers lads and see you all again very soon. Rich.

The last 4 days here at Whitby have been excellent both weather wise and fish wise. The settled spell began last Thursday afternoon and come Friday we had near perfect conditions which lasted up to todays trip. The weather allowed us to tear off to the "wall" ( 27 mile ) on each of the last 4 days which produced some cracking fishing. Plenty of cod and ling for the table with the best fish coming aboard today. A couple of bull seals pestered us for a couple of hours the last 2 days but hey they have to feed as well !! Pictured with a lovely cod of 12lbs is John Ashton from Anglesey. ( Best lures have been the shads and the best bait has been squid tipped on the hokkai )

A break in the weather today at last ( or so we thought ! ) A mixed group of lads again on the Shy - Torque today aiming to try and gather some nice winter cod had to work their socks off to achieve success ! A fresh N Westerly hindered us somewhat and limited us to the 9 mile ground, however towards slack water and into the change of tide we saw a good few cod come to the shad. Best fish being that of Ian Pilkington from Accrington at just over 7lbs ( pictured )

Our last trip of 2010 proved to be a cracker with a mixed group of lads from as far afield as Southport. A near perfect forecast on the 28th December enabled us to wizz out to the wrecks on the 20 mile where we found plenty of lovely cod to 13lb and ling to a similar size. Pictured are Guy wrightson from Pontefract and "BIG" Sam Anderson from Beverley.
