Fishing Report by Phil White

Report on-board Chinook 3
Happy new year to everyone. Well we have had some really horrible weather over the holiday period but it is nice to get back into a routine of sorts.
We have not managed to get out for a fortnight so it was a relief to finally get a trip in this Saturday. Well the good news is that there are still some codling around although there are not many, we managed five on Saturday up to 2lb with all the other boats reporting a few.
What was encouraging was a return of some nice big female Thornbacks which we have not seen inshore since the spring, these females have eggs in and should be returned to the sea but it does mean there are more decent fish to catch along with the chance of a cod. All the other boats also reported several nice Thornbacks.
There are plenty of nice whiting still around in all areas although they do leave the Estuaries over the new year, the piers and shore marks will still produce right through the Winter.
There are some lovely dabs in the Estuaries with several fish reported at over 30cm, these tasty little flatties are easily caught using paternoster rigs fished up and down rather than casting, small baits of worm, squid or herring work well.
Prospects as always in the winter depend on lots of factors, water temperature, abundance of Herring or Sprat and numbers of Cod but there are some nice fish to be caught and the past few Januaries have been quite good fishing so don't give up on it, have a day out and enjoy it.

Report on-board Cleveland Princess
Hope you all had a great Xmas and a chance to try the new fishing gear out that Santa brought you,with the conditions this last 3 weeks being very poor weve only been able to get out a few times and when we did go it was mainly off Snag Ally but it seems that the fish are holding in that area at the moment i did get out to one of our better marks on the Newcomb Bank but this proved to be no better than fishing close in,weve had a few small Cod on the trips that we have made but nothing to right home about the fish are all around the 2lb-3lb size with an odd one a bit better one of the party last Thursday 28th lost a nice fish he just got it to the surfice and it decided it was not going to be his dinner i estamated it around the 7lb mark that would have been nice as Peter paid to enter the £100 Cod competion that i run,the picture is of Paul with a lovely 21lb Cod that made its way to the boat in 2015, i wish you all a fantastic New Year and the Fish of your dreams appears in the not to distant future,Brian.

Report on-board Tuskar
Working hard for cod in numbers this year but perseverance paid off for Luke Cadden as after the pool had moved 3 times and with 30 minutes to go he wound in this 12 pounder to take the money. Well done
