This weekend has seen some of the best fishing for a while here at Whitby.
Both sunday and monday the lads onboard managed well over 100 cod each day between them. all on shads.
There were many thrown back for another day too which is always encouraging to see. nothing big, all between 2lb and 6lb giving some great sport on light gear.
lets hope this is the sign of things to come once the algae clears properly
Pictured are the lads at the end of the day on bank holiday monday with a few of their fish - well done men!

Another good day for us here at Whitby.
The inshore fishing has been good recently, today no different. the lads fished hard on a big tide using bait and shads and managed to amass 60+ cod, ling and pollock to keep. There were a good few undersized fish placed back to grow bigger.
The majority of the fish recently have been in the 4lb - 7lb bracket, the signs are looking great for the forthcoming season.

The fish nets Mike a whopping £1050 in prize money - well done mate!

The fishing remains good here at Whitby.
As many of you will know we are currently halfway through our WCSA Spring Festival.
The skippers have continued to work their sock off for their crews looking for the big one, and enjoying some excellent sport on shads as the water is beginning to clear.
We have been landing some great fish during the Festival taking a number daily prizes for our anglers yet again on Mistress
Yesterday saw one of our regular anglers, Mike Dearing from Beverley land an absolute beaut of fish.
He took the Daily 1st prize and now leads the event overall, with a 20lb 7 1/2oz Cod which he took whist fishing a 4" bright orange sidewinder shad.
Its still all to play for as we have been seeing some great fish landed each day of the event,

Its been a day or two since i popped a report in, its been a busy weekend for us all in Whitby.
Friday night I ran a charter for one of my friends and a couple of his work pals.
The tides were still a bit lively then, with colour in the water and the trip being a few hours i stayed handy and took the lads uptiding.
we took a 15 minute cruise out the harbour to our first mark where we settled in to anchor at the very start of the tide, it took a while getting going, but we didnt have to wait long for the bites.
we picked steady away for a hour or so taking 15 Cod from our first mark.
then we moved a couple of times taking a few fish each time. by the end of the trip the lads had amassed a good 25 cod to take home between them, we pulled back into our mooring just as it was getting dark, a very enjoyable few hours was enjoyed by all.
bait used was squid and black lug worm,

Another fantastic days fishing today, I had nothing booked until my pal Mozzer phoned and asked if i was going, well I couldn't let the lad down!
With the uptiding fishing so well lately we had another crack at it. Id marked a ledge the other day so was keen to get back out and have a crack at it, it payed off for us taking a steady stream of fish all morning and early afternoon until the turn of the tide, by which time we'd managed to rake up around 40 cod between us.
worm, squid and cart taking the fish

Monday 31st March
Back Uptiding again today, on board we had a couple from Birmingham and and a regular lad from Leeds.
We started off steady away, taking a dozen fish in the first couple of hours, We moved around looking for better things taking a steady few fish each spot we went to, but it was hard work, non the less we tried plenty of marks picking away.
The three anglers finished up with around 25 Codlings for the day, reports of boats travelling distance had similar catch results too,
The most consistent bait remains squid and black gulley worm, but crab cart took a few through the day too

Sunday 30th March
We finally got away on Sunday, the day forecast was for the sea to die away all day which it did, but it was still a rolly polly sort of day with a ground swell hitting us side on all day.
I had a bunch of regulars on from Leeds who were keen to get at the fish. We worked our socks off for the lads and it payed off for us, our first mark was chucking a few out, and I was sure another mark nearby would fish a bit better - and it did!
At some points we had two or three rods in at a time, we moved as the tide eased and the fishing went dead until the flood tide came through, we moved again for the final time taking another 6 or 8 fish before home time.
The final tally saw the lads with just under 40 Codlings for the day, which I thought was good given the conditions.
All fish were between 2lb & 4lb
