The algae has finally cleared here at whitby, only about 5 weeks later than normal! along with it some better fishing.
The last three days have produced some much better fishing for us on Mistress. Friday and today saw us boating just over 40 cod, ling and pollock each day, Saturday saw the best day of the year for us with us taking just over 70.

The grand summer festival has just finished for another year, onboard Mistress we had quite a successful event.
On the leader board at the end of the festival we finished up with 2nd place in the Ladies section and 3rd place in the Haddock section.
But overall, Mistress had more daily wins and more daily prize winners than any other boat in the competition.
We have an autumn competition coming up from the 14th to the 29th September
We still have a few dates available on some of the better tides, please get in touch if you're interested

cheers Rich

We recently held a parent and child evening for one of my regular anglers, Mark, who has been asking to do one for a while to get his kids interested in fishing.
He bought along a couple of the regular lads too with their kids. luckily as it turned out it was a lovely summer night.
We picked them up after the festival weigh in and set off to the rock top, the kids were all absolutely buzzing, there was bucket loads of excitement, enthusiasm and energy!
We arrived, the rods had been tackled up, so as we arrived I went round making sure everyone knew how to handle the rods and reels, and within seconds there were mackerel being swung in left right and centre! along with screams of that 5 now, thats 7 now, ive got three now and oh no that one dropped off !
well after three drifts we had filled the boxes suffiently with mackerel, and were now catching and releasing! this was accompnied by sceams of thats 72 now, thats 65 now and oh no thats ones just dropped off!
By 7pm i was feeling a bit run off my feet after being up since 5am, but a couple if the adults and older kids set up a chain gang gutting and washing the mackerel.
by the time we had finished gutting and washing there were only about 3 die hard kids still fishing and we called it a night arriving back for around 745pm
A happy bunch at the end of the trip -

Had the pleasure of fishing again with Rich Cope skipper of Mistress out of Whitby.
A short evening competition where the local Charter Skippers Association give there boats for free to raise money for the RNLI resulted in quite a few fish and a a couple of section winners aboard .
Junior and Ladies and if I had bothered to weigh mine possibly a 2nd in the Seniors.
Great night had by all and well done Rich on finding some nice fish.
Following day was the local Forum match and again Rich put us over some decent fish in what had been fairly testing times prior to the 2 events.
Young Jack from Leicester showed the way taking some nice codling and ling and I managed 2nd with a ling just under 9lb.
Rich worked his socks off looking for the fish and making sure every angler spent as much time as possible in the water by helping with sorting the tangles and unhooking fish.
Infectious Skipper who's enthusiasm is 2nd to none . -

We have been seeing some nice fish again here at Whitby during the last month.
We also had our 1st EVER sharking trip after seeing a rather large Porgie swimming by the boat a few weeks back. Although we never landed the shark we hooked up to, we had a good look at it as it rolled on the surface near the boat then stripped some 250 yards of line before parting company with us! it looked to be well over 6ft long! We than had a further 2 runs before setting off for home. The fella who booked is a regular angler with me and has rebooked and is very eager for another go at them next month - watch this space!
The wrecking is throwing out a few better fish and we have seen a few into double figure this month, I think our best fish though is a cracking 8lb cat caught on the 21st of this month. It was the 2nd one caught by us this week. The 8lber is a new Mistress best, Phil the captor wasnt keen to take it home so I Kindly offered to take it!

We had a very successful fundraising event again on sunday evening.
A total of £720 raised for a very worthy cause with a combination of competition entry fees and raffle.
On Mistress we managed to get the Top Ladies prize and top Junior prize, missing the overall top place by only a few ounces

First of our 3 trips with Richard this year. Weather settled although not as settled as I first thought when we set, and this determined where we should fish. Our party consisted af 6 anglers on their first ever sea angling trip, along with 5 more experienced guys. Novice anglers supplied with top notch rods and reels by Richard. I know the fishing has been hard in the past few weeks, but as usual Richard tried a number of spots and although no great quantities codling were coming up to both sidewinders and baited rigs. A couple of small ling, a number of whiting. pouting and a scorpion fish. Sea flattened off as the day weny on and the sun shone, what more do you want if the fishing is tough. As usual Richard was a good laugh and helped our new anglers with good adice and some even managed to catch a cod or two. Looking foward to our trip during the summer festival.

The weather and conditions, as Im sure you all have heard has been extremely disappointing so far this year.
This time last year we were catching fish by the boat load, and had a great start.
This year has to be the worst I can ever remember, saying that, the lads have still been keen to get to sea and try their hand, both saturday and sunday we travelled well off to some distant wrecks in the search of good fishing. Unbelievably the clarity was affected 25 miles + offshore following the last northerly sea.
both days saw us get our first mackerel of the season. we caught fish both day but not in any great numbers. sunday saw us boating a lot of mackerel. we still caught cod, pollock and coalie too.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On monday I only had a few lads booked on and the forecast was far from brilliant meaning we would have to stay inshore, with this in mind, we planned to uptide fish with the lads (absolutely unheard of by the end of may!) the tide was slack when we headed out so we fished on the soft ground until the tide got away fully, taking lots of dabs and whiting (just to keep the rod tips rattling). we moved as soon as the tide started and we managed a few cod, falling to fresh lug the lads had dug the day before.
the day was slow and we caught codlings most places we stopped on the hard ground, the first push of the flood saw a few codling falling to cart. we finished up with around ten codlings for the day between us hundreds of whiting and few dabs.
the water should clear out soon and the fishing should go ballistic judging by the feed marks everywhere

Another window in the weather yesterday saw us putting to sea. 6 lads took the boat on an all inclusive team building exercise.
The water is clearing all the time, but there doesnt seem to be the feed marks there that we normally get this time of year, it seems as though everything is running a bit late with the water temperature down on the same time last year following those dreadful easterly winds we had a while back.
we started out fishing some 5 miles offshore and took fish first drop, the lads steadily picked away taking a few fish
the better fishing came on the afternoon tide where we moved to one of my favourite wrecks where we finished the day on a high note having a mad hour!
The lads managed a respectable 30 to 40 codlings all on shads and sidewinders.
Now all we are waiting for is another break in the weather to get back at them!
picture are the lads with their fish
