    1st day back Uptiding after the last northerly, we got among the fish boating 30-40 codlings for the few lads onboard, everyone thoroughly enjoying some decent winter sport. with some top fish in prime condition!

    So we had high hopes for the following day, but it was really hard work, despite covering lots of miles and plenty of shifts through the day.

    We have another big northerly system currently battering our stretch of coastline, so the fishing should be spot again once we get back out at them!

    There looks to be windows in the weather tomorrow and Friday by the looks of it, but it can and does change! we have spaces Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.

    If you fancy jumping aboard Mistress here at Whitby for trip give me a call on 07977 436903 or drop me an email at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

    Its been a rough month for us up here at Whitby with us losing three weeks of the month to bad weather, its also given me chance to get my annual holiday away and wind down a bit!

    Since getting back this last week the fishing has remained up and down as it has all year, we've started giving the Uptiding a serious shot and we've been rewarded with some lovely fresh run fish, numbers are still a bit down on last year, but the water is still quite warm and and we still need a good northerly to colour it up, which we currently have building!

    On this last set if big tides, we've fished at anchor through the tide and fished selected wrecks during slack breaking up the day for the our anglers.

    This last week has seen several cod into double figures the biggest topping out at 14lb yesterday. Uptiding has seen to cod to just under double figures, so with this bit of sea things are looking up for the forthcoming Uptiding Festival. (5th-20th November).

    If you're into your shore fishing, you'll love uptiding, Our weekends are now fully booked but we still have plenty of available midweek places.

    So, if you fancy a day in the festival or even just some winter fishing, whether you're a novice or experienced you get a warm welcome with me on the Mistress.
    Give me a call or text on 07977 436903 or email me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

    Its been just over a week since our last update and the autumn festival is in full swing here at Whitby.

    I've been working my socks off as always trying to get the Mistress anglers among fish. Leading up to the festival, a few nice fish started poking their heads out giving me high hopes for the event.

    During the big tides we were fishing the ground and luckily there seemed to be a good number a double figure fish lurking on the hard ridges, as the tides lift again I can see us returning to the ground, we had an 18lber off the ground prior to the festival so there's always every chance of a winner cruising around.

    As the tides eased we started fishing the wrecks, we have had a pretty good week aboard Mistress, with many double figure fish boated and many daily prizes to our anglers.

    We're currently leading the event with a a cracking Ling of 23lb 2 1/2oz, but had another 18lber earlier in the week as well as fish just short of 16lb and absolutely loads of 11-12lb fish.
    There still a week to run and there's every chance of catching a bigger one. we have a few remaining places this week on Friday.

    I'm offering a short morning trip on the 29th of this month, running 7am-12 noon. it'll be £25 per person.

    If you fancy a crack at the festival or just joining me for a days fishing drop me a line on 07977 436903, E-mail: seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on my FB page Mistress Sea Angling Charters.

    Time for an update, as always I've been keeping busy with my camera this last week or so, we've been through a set of neap tides and now starting back up into a set of springs. I'm glad of a day off this week for some family time and a bit of a catch up on here.

    We've managed some quality fish again with two pushing 18-20lb this last 12 days. one was on a massive 5.8m tide! and the other on a 5.2m, so its goes to show with clear water and a bit of luck its still possible to catch the big ones! so that 3 over 18lb in the last 3 weeks.

    Its the time of year where we see more Ling than Cod and its this time of year many people beat their PB's, with us bait fishing a lot we do catch mainly Ling but with some better quality Cod too.

    The Autumn festival starts next Weekend for 2 weeks. with £1000 for the biggest fish over the event. We still have dates available on some better tides so give me call if you fancy a chance on the £1000!

    The Uptide competition dates have been confirmed as 5th November - 20th November, the dates are starting to fill on that already so, get your bookings in early to get the best tides.

    If you fancy a trip with me on Mistress here at Whitby please get in touch, My phone number is 07977 436903, E-mail, seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk and Facebook page in Mistress Sea Angling Charters,

    Another excellent trip on the Mistress with Rich. for a change it was an evening trip with my sister and her family. A short trip out past the piers he soon put us on plenty of mackerel to start us off then off we went in search of bigger fish We caught two beautiful big Pollock and a nice size cod. Three or four undersized cod went back for another day. For a family's evening fishing it was ideal and would definitely recommend it with Rich keeping an eye on everybody and sorting out tangles and making sure we were all doing it right.

    Its been a couple of weeks since out last update, in all honesty the fishing remains up and down, with the best fishing on the neap tides.

    Since our last report we had a set of springs and the fishing was very hard work indeed, a full week of high winds keeping us ashore and a week of neap tides. As always I continue to work my socks off for my anglers, covering the ground I need to to get the lads a few fish.

    So the inshore wrecks and grounds have produced well with some lovely fish boated, our best fish, an absolutely cracking 18lb 8oz Cod for John Harman, a Mistress regular, the same trip saw him boat a nice ling into double figures too.

    We had our first 3 hour evening trip of the year, with plenty of Mackerel boated and everyone caught either Pollock or Cod too so happy faces all round there.

    Just look through the photos from the last week or so on my facebook page, lots of happy anglers!
    I have spaces coming up in the next week or so,

    Tue 23rd Aug - 8 places
    Wed 24th Aug - 10 places
    Thur 25th aug - 10 places

    Mon 29th Aug - 3 places
    Tue 30th Aug - 9 places
    Wed 31st Aug - Free

    Its been a week since our last update, its been a steady week with us landing some quality fish, anglers aboard ‪Mistress‬ have seen Ling to 15lb on baited lures and plenty of Cod between 8lb & 10lb on shads.

    The same group booked me for three days for a corporate event, and took some quality fish between them throughout the three days.The weather was kind to us and the lads wanted a BBQ one day so we arranged that for them!

    I'm happy to accommodate any requests on the boat.

    As the tides eased the fishing inshore came on with bang on the shads again. I had a couple of new anglers aboard that caught very well, these lads did the research on my website and followed the advise on the pages.

    So please if you're new on my boat have look though my website www.mistress-whitby.co.uk
    If you would like to join me for days wreck and reef fishing or even some winter ‪Uptiding‬ here at ‪whitby‬ give me a call on 07977 436903 or drop me an e-mail at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk
