We put a bit of a red eye special in yesterday, doing 2 trips before we break up for Christmas.
The lads had two blinding trips, the day trip produced what must have been 80-90 cod with the throw backs, the biggest tipping the scales just shy of 7lb.
The night trip saw us boat 40-50 cod to 5.5lb-6lb with throw backs.
I'd like the opportunity to wish all my customers old and new a very merry Christmas and I look forward to seeing you all again in 2020!

Its been a good week for us here at Whitby, it fished well on the bigger tides, tailing off a bit as the tides eased.
Even on the slacker tides we managed around 50 codlings between the few anglers we had onboard.
Among the fish we've seem some cracking fish into double figures, with a good few 4-5lbers every day too.
We're going to be fishing upto and through the Christmas break. If we get enough interest and suitable weather I'll be running some night trips too. Trips are £5 per person per hour.

The Uptiding is in full swing at Whitby at the minute, before I left to come on holiday we were boating lots of codlings, with bags of 20 fish common with the more experienced anglers.

With everyones safety and comfort in mind I'll be trying to limit all individual bookings to max of 8 people, as I have with all night trips from the start.
Also running 9/11 to 24/11 We have our Whitby Uptiding festival with a mahoosive £1000 up for grabs plus many daily cash prizes, all for £5 entry on top of your charter.

After all this bad weather weve dropped back inshore uptiding with some great results.
The last two trips have thrown plenty of fish out, but yesterday after the huge northerly we managed to boat well over 100 codlings with loads of throw backs, most were over minimum size but the lads kept the best ones 40cm+ if they were deep hooked.
Im still getting messed around by people booking and not showing up, so please dont take offense at having to get deposits to me within 48 hours when asked.
We've plenty of availability from the 25th october and also into the next festival starting 9th November for 2 weeks. There's a massive prize board plus daily prizes.
Entry is £5 per person on top of your charter fee of £50. We will only be taking 8 anglers maximum on individual days, for maximum space and comfort, but will take upto 10 anglers on full boat bookings
We can supply hire tackle and bait if required for a little extra

We started the week uptiding and as yhe tides have eased thd water has cleared slightly sllowing to get the shads to work, saturday was a poor day for us but the last two days have seen an improvement.
We put together an 3 hour evening trip for some of my friends and regular anglers aboard mistress, with young Nate Garret getting the best fish night. I have 5 places this comkng wednesday on an 3 hour evening trip.

What a belting week we've had here at whitby! Unfortunately the wind has been to fresh to get to the wrecks and the water coloured too.

We have spaces next week tuesday 27th through to friday 30th,
we only need 4 people minimum to sail. Prices start at £5 per person per hour.
Hire tackle and bait can be provided for a little extra.

Time for an update from us as we hit a day of bad weather at whitby!
The fishing this past week has been pretty good, some nice fish landed by our anglers, just missing out on the dailys buy a few oz each day.
We lost an enormous fish the other day, so it just goes to show theres still some big fish about.
Yesterday with the fresh sw winds we were kept well inshore, everything came together with the water clearing and we absolutely smashed it on shads, the 6 lads must have caught and returned around 150 codlings for the day, nothing big but most on the 2lb to 5lb range. They kept a few but a lot were returned.
Its been a while coming but it looks like the mackerel are set in at last too.
