We started the day on a wreck a few miles from port today as it was pretty much slack water when we got out. The lads set about taking a steady picking of fish until the tide started pushing. Although the day wasnt hectic the lads took a steady picking of fish all day from each mark we stopped at. Bait fished better today although the shads still accounted for a few nice fish.
We worked a mixture of ground and wrecks today catching quite a few fish into double figures. Finally on a wreck we took an extra 20-30 codlings and pollock to finish the day on high note.
Species taken today include, Ling to 15lb, Cod to 10lb, Pollock to 6lb, thean a mixture of Coalie, Whiting, Pouting, Mackerel and Tub Gurnard.

The tides have fallen away again now, typically the wind and swell has picked up too. We managed to get out today despite a long lazy sea sick swell from the north!.
Starting at a wreck on the 4 mile, we managed a few fish, then steadily working our way off stopping at a few wrecks on the way, all the way out to 18 miles. We manged a good few fish today for our regular lads (and lasses).
Onboard we had quite a number of different species, Cod, Pollock, Ling, Pouting, Whiting, Mackerel, Tub Gurnard, Coalfish, and a solitary Weaver!
We took Cod and Ling into double figures, and plenty of Pollock and coalies upto around 4lb in size.

End of June.
We have been experiencing some great fishing here in Whitby through June, most days to sea have seen us returning with some fantastic catches.
Recently we have been catching plebty of Cod into double figures Pollock aproaching double figures and Ling also into double figures. The Pollock and Ling sport should start to get better now we are into July. Popular lures thats are catching most of the fish include shads, sidewinders and powerbait sandeels. Rhubard and custard, white, pink, and blue being the better colours.
Now the water has started clearing out we can start looking at the possibility of planning some specialist evening trips, plugging and using live Sandeels for the Pollock and Bass.
tight lines for now

With only two people booked on today we had a go at the inshore fishing. We found the water still a little coloured, but we had a show of good quality fish. The biggest was pushing double figures. Cod, Ling, Whiting and Pouting were caught on a mixture of bait and shads. The fish dont half fight hard in shallow ater and on light tackle!

Luckily there was a break in the weather to get the long awaited and anticipated trip in, conditions started fine, and deteriorated through the day, conditions were perfect for teasing a big fish out with very little drift all day.
All the lads fished hard and caught plenty, and Im sure they enjoyed their day.
On Mistress we saw plenty of fish which were of good stamp, and a wolf fish which was a bit of a rarity, but good to see all the same. I didnt picture all the good fish we had onboard, as there would have been loads of photos!. A massive well done to all who fished, and also a big thank you to all involved for your continued support.

The last two days fishing have been brilliant again onboard Mistress, EACH day we have seen well over 100 cod caught. We have been working mainly hard ground less than an hour from port, all caught on light gear and shads! The only thing holding us back at the minute is the weather. There are still plenty of mid week spaces available get in on the summer Cod action here at Whitby!

Another blinder today! we sailed early due to the weather forecast indicating it was going to blow up in the afternoon, it was well worth the effort! everyone onboard was ready to come in when i said we should, each had a full box of fish for just a few hours fishing, tied up again at 1pm! all caught on shads and light tackle.

Fishing here at Whitby has been absolutely dynamite the last few weeks,
the lads on the 4th June managed an absolute cracker of a haul, they had caught so much fish we were back tied up at 2pm, and it took us 3 hours to fillet it all.
All were caught on shads and light gear, great sport!

My wife, eldest son and myself have just had two fabulous days fishing with Rich and Dean on Mistress at Whitby. I cannot reccommend this outfit highly enough. Rich was constantly working hard to find us fish on different marks, Dean was working tirelessly netting fish, sorting out tangles and giving encouragement to everone aboard, always with a smile on his face and a kind word. We have fished on many charter boats in the area and this team and boat is by far the most professional, committed, helpful and friendly we have come across. My wife took a personal best pollock of around 6lbs and I had a personal best ling and cod of 13lbs and 9.5lbs respectively. The lads shared their knowledge and experience with us regarding fishing with sidewinders and bait. We returned home with loads of cod, ling and pollock fillets all nicely filleted by the lads. If you want a great days fishing off Whitby on a superb boat with a totally committed crew then dont look any further than Rich and Dean on Mistress. We shall be booking again once we can find some space in the freezer!!!!! Thanks again guys, Steve, Chris and Rick from Doncaster.
