Fishing Report by Rich Cope

Hi guys time for an update! The weather has dealt us a very poor hand this week, but between our last report and this one the fishing has come on tremendously!
Weve seen some quality fish at anchor now theres a good bit of colour inside.
Everyone has been getting good numbers of fish each trip, with what seems like thousands of small codlings in the 36-38cm range. Legal yes but ethically we always try not keep anything under 40cm unless gut hooked. So plenty of throw backs each trip.
Best bait as always is black lug and squid cocktail.
We've taken our 1st batch of black lug now so Bait Packs will be available again to our anglers, which will need to be pre ordered the night before the trip.
At the minute long range i can see only monday available weather wise, we have 2 places available still. Its £55 per person.
If you're interested give me a call or text on 07977 436 903

Hi guys, time for a quick update before I head off for a few days fishing away with the boys.
Over this set of springs tides we've made a start on the Uptiding for Cod. Its still a bit early, but theres some promising signs. The last two days between a few windy ones we've managed a few nice fish for the lads.
We're taking bookings for the Uptide Festival which starts the 7th November. Spaces are starting fill up now.
Give me a call on 07977 436 903 if you fancy a day with me on the Cod.

Its been a cracking couple of days on the wrecks here at Whitby.
As the tides have eased and with settled weather, the water has cleared. Bait has caught the biggest ones with a fair few into double figures, but the lads persevering with shads got a few too.
As the tides lift again we'll be back inshore with the anchor down to try for some early uptiding cod.

Hi guys weekends here again!
Its been a while since we did a report on here.
The fishing has been very up and down, since our last post, but we continue to enjoy our days at sea making nice memories for our anglers.
We've just finished the Autumn Festival, even though we didn't win this time we had a few daily winners through the event. Our biggest only a couple of pounds smaller than the winning fish.
Since the last big northerly we've started dipping our toes into the uptiding, catches should start improving as the autumn feed starts to disappear and the cod get their heads down.
Our uptiding festival starts on the 7th November and is running for 3 weeks this year.
We're taking bookings and the weekends are filling fast.
I'd also like to say a very big thankyou to all our customers who've left some amazing reviews for the Mistress.

Hi guys, well, time for an update, its been an absolutely belting week for the anglers aboard us.
Both day and night trips have produced good numbers of fish, our anglers have been responsible returning many sized fish and keeping just a handful for the table. a few days have seen well over 100 codlings over the gunnels, each day.
Best bait remains black lug and unwashed squid. Cart is producing well, but the bites come faster to the worm and squid. -
