Fishing Report by Sam Cumming

Report on-board Silver Spray II
Although the weather has limited the amount of trips we have done over the last month we have managed a good variety when given the opportunity. All the excitement from last month’s shark trips encouraged us to have another go which proved very fruitful. Tony Lees boated is first porbeagle shark weighing around 200lb, the fish fought for an hour and a half and as usual was returned unharmed to terrorize the bream for another day. We figured we had had our luck for the day until 1415 when we started to catch a few small mackerel on feathers by the surface. Within five minutes of putting one of these tiny things on for bait we had our second run. After getting all our other gear out of the water it became clear just what we had hooked into as an enormous thresher jumped clean out of the water 100m behind the boat. After a couple more jumps, one of which we caught on camera and you can see on our Facebook page, and 3 more hours we managed to get the boat alongside the fish as it swam along at 6 knots and touch the trace to confirm the catch. It’s tough to estimate the size of a creature like that as it’s the biggest thing I have ever seen on rod and line by a long way. The anglers and I all agreed it must have been between 500 and 600lb. What a monster. Also on our last shark trip Karston Murray landed not one but two Atlantic bonito at the same time on feathers whilst fishing for bait. A first for us on Silver Spray. Elsewhere the bream fishing on the offshore wrecks seems to be getting better and better with just a short session over slack producing a good 50+ fish to 4lb. Inshore the winter fishing has begun with the first cod and whiting hitting the deck along with some early season spurdogs as well. Although the weather hasn’t been great for them we have managed a couple of goes for the squid with some success as well. Over the next couple of weeks we shall just be inshore focusing on the cod and also some drifting for bass.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Nigel Steer, his lad Ben, Dave and 2 of their mates joined us last weekend. Sadly, we haven't moved since then due to the fresh easterly's.
A good forecast for the day and with great conditions too the lads fished very well for the best part of the day. Cod to around the 7 lb mark and Ling to 11.5 lbs. The lads ending up with around 70 fish between the 5 of them
Our Adam had a crazy idea he wanted to try catch a fish in 30 fathom of water on a mackerel spinner! Using the shad method with a 12 oz lead and 3 ft leader he had a go and did just that. A lovely Cod of 7 lb on a spinner!!
How the tiny treble held together I'll never know. Testament to the hook or his angling skills???? !! Maybe a bit of both?
Adam filleted all the fish for the lads on the way back to port.
The lads are pictured inset with some of their catch.
Cheers and tight lines
Rich

Fishing Report by Jon Whitton
on Alexia (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Alexia
The uptiding here at whitby over the past couple of weeks has fished really well. The water still isn't as coloured as we would like but we are still managing good numbers of cod for our anglers. The best bait seems to be blacks and squid. The general stamp of fish has been around 3lb to 6lb . The past week has seen south easterly winds creep in and with flood tide it's been hard work as the boat tends to drift round on the anchor especially with the slack tides. No the less we worked through it and still got our anglers good bags of fish. We have also had pollock up to 9lb and seen lots of wrasse and dog fish. With easterlies forecast over the next few days it means a few days off. Tight lines for now !!

Report on-board JFK TWO
Sat 17th
Out today first since back from hols. Turned out a cracking day with the small tides, first drop produced a cod of 6lbs. Nice start same again next drift, picked up cod on almost all drifts, averaging 4-to 8lbs, a steady stream of fish coming aboard. All cod and a few pollack best 6-7lbs.
As the wind and tide eased further, the ling showed up. First a nice ling of 12.5lbs for alan, lovely fish for late November, swiftly followed by more lings and another couple into double figures, was turning out a lovely day, with now well over 50 nice quality fish aboard, Ronnie had been whopping fish in all day said something nice on here.
Sure enough this white shape was getting bigger and bigger,
What a belter ling fighting fit all the way . Weighed in just under 20lbs Ronnie’s personal best, couldn’t be more pleased for him
And we still weren’t finished picked away the rest of the day, all nice fish
Ending up with over 80 fish View Boats Page
