2 Hour Evening trip for the Explorer Scouts from Scarborough
We fished the rough ground just off the castle headland only 10 minute steam from the harbour to maximize there fishing time.
Fishing was slow and steady with the group managing to get a couple of codlings and a good size whiting.
Most of the scouts had a go at handling the boat streaming back home under supervision.
If you have a small group of Scouts or similar party we will try our best to accommodate your needs call 07939015881 to discuss booking a trip. -

Another good 6 hour trip inshore with a good amount of cod and pollock around the 5lb area.
Not as many as previous trips but we had more bigger fish showing. Conditions were not ideal as we had to put up with a strong south westerly breeze.
Heaviest pollock was 10lb 4oz heaviest cod was 8lb -

13lb cod from today's 6 hour trip inshore
Not the best conditions by far today with a strong wind which we couldn't get shelter from at all.
The anglers managed to get a few codling around the 2 to 5lb area but fishing was hard work.
The anglers probably had 15 cod in total between the 6 of them. -

Another good trip today only fishing 5 hours this afternoon and evening again plenty of fish showing with alot more different species showing up as well as cod and pollock.
A good 60 fish caught again with one lad managing to catch 13 to himself. And it was great to see many size fish been returned as he only wanted 3 Codlings to take home.
Again a good stamp of clean fish with a few around 5lb -

Fishing has really come alive inshore again with a good amount of really clean fish.
The lads this morning were out for 6 hours and had well over 60 fish between them all cod between 2 and 5 lb with a few Pollock around the 3 to 5 lb mark too.
All fish under 40 cm were returned to hopefully be caught when there bigger.
A great set of lads with a great sense of humor. -

Best 6 hour fishing trip we have had all year so far, nothing huge caught but plenty of cod about still.
We only had 3 customers today so I managed to have a fish aswell today.
We decided to fish inshore again and we had fish on from the first drop with all four of us bringing fish after fish in every drop. After a few minutes we decided to return all lip hooked fish regardless of size or any other fish that would survive as the fishing was that frantic.
In total we lost count at about a hundred between the four of us with all of us catching 25+ each.
The fish seamed to be going for anything we dropped down including squid mackerel, shads. Feathers etc.we even managed to get plenty of codlings on the very light gear (5g to 35g rods with 8lb braid, great fun on light gear).
Great to see so many cod and Codlings about.
During the last two hours we started getting board of catching just cod so we ventured out to 6 mile and gave the wrecks a try, we had a few nibbles but unfortunately no fish out there as yet, hopefully in a few weeks this will change.
The photo of the fish on the engine box were all the fish which were deeply hooked which unfortunatly wouldn't have had much change of survival.
Great day out with great company with Dave, Steve and Mel. -

Another great day out today fishing on a 6 hour trip inshore.
The angler had a good mix of fish today landing several Pollock around 4 to 8lb and a good amount of Cod around 2 to 4lb as well as a good size dogfish and a few small Coalfish.
It was great to see alot of good size fish been returned to fight another day.
Most of the fish fell for bait but we did manage to catch a few on jellys and shads, so hopefully the water becomes clearer inshore in the next few weeks and we could have some fantastic fishing this summer.
(Photo of the heaviest fish of the day Pollock 8lb 13oz) -

A good 8 hour Fishing Trip yesterday
we decided to start at the mark which worked well for us on Thursday and again it produced a good number of codlings for us.
We had a lot of first time anglers with us yesterday but they quickly picked it up and all seamed to have a good trip with the anglers managing to get a couple of fish each.
The conditions were not perfect with a slight swell to start with which increased in the last hour of the trip.
It was good to see many size fish returned as the anglers had caught enough for them selves.
Unfortunately we had to cancel the 3 hour trip we had planned as the sea conditions deteriorated and we couldn't seek any shelter.
hopefully the weather improves in the next few days as the fishing has been really good resonantly.
photos are from one of our customers dee (many thanks for the photo's and review) -

Belting 6 hour fishing trip today inshore nothing huge caught but Conditions were perfect all day.
We only had 6 Anglers today but the lads managed to catch over 70 cod and codlings between them all.
Garth managed to catch the heaviest bag catching 20 cod and the heaviest fish about 6lb.
giving the fellers their due, they returned a lot of fish too, I seem to be seeing a lot more people returning fish lately, its great to see.
