Seeing as we managed a good yesterday, I couldn't resist heading back to the same area we were working,
We tried a couple of marks we fished yesterday but for very little reward so had to push a bit further afield, the fresh NW wind making it hard work for the lads too, but it all came good once that sea slowed down and we dropped on a few new spots.
It was a great laugh too, We had mostly regulars onboard so there was plenty of banter among ourselves all day.
We finished up nearly 20 miles from home and still banging fish out each drift on shads and bait, anyway we called lines up at around 1430hrs and took a steady steam home,
Many of you will have met my mate Alex who was onboard helping again today, anyway Alex took the wheel and I ended up filleting the whole way back home for the lads, I was sick of the sight of fish when we got back!
Another cracking day with plenty of fish all good stamp and ling just shy of double figures,

Absolutely awesome day wrecking on the Cod today here at Whitby
With the tides being really slack today, I had an inkling the inshore wrecks might show us a few fish to #shads and bait, there have been signs of the water clearing but the algae is still present in patches.
Although the action was never frantic all day we took a steady few each drift till it tailed off, so we'd move and start over, it worked well for us, with the best angler taking 26 today. a few of the other lads had 20+ cod bags too, and plenty of fish were returned as always.
The general stamp of fish was good with many between 4 & 7lb with the best topping out around 8lb.
The weather was stunning too with the sun shining on us all day.

Another absolutely belting day today here on Mistress ,
We started on the ground this morning and it was non stop until the tide eased and the fishing went off the boil.
So I had a bit of an idea that a move up the coast would pay dividends for us,and it did! not much showing on the ground but one of the wrecks on my plotter threw us some non stop action, the fish smashing the shads as soon as they hit the bottom with the rods bending into fish, drift after drift.
The best angler onboard today retained 18 cod and threw an amazing 20 back, bearing in mind most of the fish returned were well in size. All the anglers threw lots of in size fish back. everyone was over the moon again today.
Also a first - one of the lads landed a giant cock crab on a shad hooked in its claw joint!
So if you fancy a trip with me on Mistress, give me a call or drop me a message on my FB page Mistress Sea Angling Charters,
We have space tomorrow if anyones interested, its £50 per person for 10 hours fishing.

The terrible may weather gave us another small window yesterday here at Whitby it was a bit of sloppy start with the fresh North Westerly, but we made the best of the day.
Other boats reported good fishing on the 5 mile recently, so thats where we started! we barely moved all day taking a steady picking, the fishing really hotted up as the tide eased and turned.
The lads were smashing the fish out for fun on shads . Sidewinder Sandeels, Rattlebacks and Minnows all taking the biggest bags. As always the conservation effort was great with plenty of fish returned, the best anglers landing the best part of 30 fish apiece
We finished up on par with one our best days so far this year the lads all beaming.
With all the fish we had to sort out, we made an early finish and got back to port around 3:30pm. Another absolutely top day!

Today was The lads from Burton-on-Trent, 2nd outing from whitby this year with us,
We tried bait fishing and hokkais, but the fish seemed to want the shads, I recommended they get the 4" sidewinder sandeels, as they seem to be doing the damage just lately, no one colour outfished the rest, white, pink and rhubarb & custard all fished well.
I wouldn't say we had a startling day but a few flurries of fish in certain spots we fished kept the lads busy. A count up at the end of the end of the day revealed they'd managed a respectable 60 odd codlings between the 7 of them, There were a few pollock too and another rogue mackerel!
Needless to say they all enjoyed themselves, with plenty of crack onboard, they re-booked for next month,

With a window in the weather here at whitby we put to sea on a rather shabby forecast, we knew we would get at least half the day in and we did,
we dropped onto a bit a ground that hasn't really fished for a couple of years and was surprised to see signs of life as I cruised up and down the ground.
So 1st drop and we nailed 3 or 4 cod on the shads, tbh we continued all morning taking between 3 & 4 cod every drift, we also nailed a surprise Mackerel our first of the year! theyre very early this year
we continued until the swell got up a bit more with the fresh sw breeze pushing across it, I called lines up and we took a steady cruise inshore to drop the anchor on some soft ground to see if we could get picking of different species.
There must of been about a million Whiting on the soft as the lads were pulling them in 2 or 3 at time so no chance for any other fish to get a look in there.
we took a move to some hard ground and that was slow too so we called it a day, the lads were over the moon as we'd nailed 50-60 Cod before lunch.

The weather here at whitby has been an absolute pain the arse recently, keeping us in tied up! With a gap in the weather yesterday we managed to get a small crew of 4 together,
The good fishing continued for us the lads absolutely buzzing with the day, the 5 of us each nailing the best part of 25 cod apiece.
We got to our first mark and never left all morning, we dropped our shads and drift after drift every rod bent into fish, excellent sport on light gear.
The weather deteriorated as the day went on, and we moved mark to mark raking a few fish each spot but the afternoon definately slower than the morning
The biggest fish would of been maybe 8lb to Mike Dearing from Beverley, but most fish were in the 3-5lb bracket, Again the lads threw a few back apiece not being greedy and just keeping the best.

We are experiencing a stint of bad weather here at Whitby .
Its given me chance to to report on our last day at sea, where we easily topped 100 cod again for the 12 lads on board, Of course they never kept all their fish and returned a large quantity for another day.
The Cod were going absolutely bananas for shads of all colours and patterns, common place though the Rhubarb and Custard sidewinders having the edge on the other lures.
The signs are excellent at the minute for a bumper year out of Whitby this year, if you fancy a piece of the action, give me a call on 07977 436 903 or drop me a message on here on my FB page - Mistress Sea Angling Charters

The run of beautiful weather continues here at whitby, we had flat calm conditions and blazing sunshine all day!
We went back out to work the grounds between the 7 & 9 mile, we had a fairly steady run fo fish all day with plenty of fish for the lads again and plenty returned.
We finished up on slack water on a wreck where we took a few better fish to end the day, plus one of the lads lost a really nice fish too.
Never the less another successful day at sea shadding

21/4/15 - Absolutely fabulous weather here today at whitby We had a slow start inshore, so upped sticks got he hammers down and we were offshore shadding with in the hour!
We arrived on slack water but managed a few pollock on a ledge we fish regularly, as the tide got away we moved a liitle further offshore to a bit of ground I havent visited for a year or two, so was delighted when we started banging out codlings each drift, these were all 2lb stock so suggested we try somewhere else.
We had a move to a ridge with lots of lumps and bumps on it, each drift saw a good number of fish come aboard,it stayed like this all day pretty much, moving, picking up a few fish and moving and picking.
The 6 of us managed to rake up around 80 codling today on a mixture of shads and bait, the lads returned plenty of fish too.
I really wish I'd got more photos on this cracking day.
We managed joint 1st and 3rd today in the WCSA angling festival daily results
