    Report on-board Lead Us

    A slow start on Lead Us 22-07-15
    headed out with the crew on board to an offshore mark to catch the end of the tide and start of the flood with not much to show a couple of small hounds and the wind picking up decided on a move which proved to be much the same story and with the wind picking up even more decided to take shelter under the cliffs the best move of the day as the fish started to come in steadily throughout the rest of the day ending up with 20 smoothounds to 8lb a couple of whiting and a couple of spotties ending up a good result after a bad start

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Hi guys..... well
    Friday 17th July: was blown out to weather, so not a great start to the weekend..!!

    Saturday 18th July: much better day, so off we went with a great bunch of chaps..! Tom from Rayleigh with the sun shinning still a bit of wind left over from Friday, but we were on a Bass mission really, but we started on the Smoothounds for the last of the ebb tide, then as the tide turned we headed West approx 6 miles, and the started fishing for bass even though they forgot to phone as requested to order bait..!!! so we had to compromise with hermit crab tails with strips of squid..!! ... they were a bit elusive but we got there in the end...

    Sunday 19th July: well... a return to strong winds yet again, what is it with this blooming country, always blowing a gale of wind ... arrrrrgh..!! but we had an hour of ebb left, so we hit the hounds again, with good results, the the boys wanted Bass, so off we went to hunt down the silver darlings..again they had no worm bait so the same tactic was used as the day before.... hermit crab tails and squid strip.. but the wind was blowing 25-30 mph S.SW so we had to deploy a drogue to help pull the boat back against the wind, fortunately it was a big tide, and it ran very hard so all was well..!!

    Monday 20th July: Paul Wilkins had a fantastic crew out just my humour...lol but once again they wanted to target Bass, and why not, these guys did however order ragworm for their trip, so we made a plan...!! as the Bass we were looking for need to be fished for on the start of the flood tide, we spent just over two hours of the dying ebb tide fishing for hounds, with great effect, then once the tide was just on the turn, we crept up on the sands in shallow water and the the waiting game begins... as I told the boys, keep it quiet ... light tackle, nice worm baits with 4 onz bomb weights, then when you least expect it.... you will get a crashing bite... a real rod bender, that's when you know your Bass fishing, and after 15 or so minutes the first Bass hit, a nice fish of around 3lbs...!! this went on for about an hour, then it stopped as quick as it started, so with stealth, we lifted the anchor, and moved further up the sand bank again, into very shallow water once again, and so the process starts all over again, but once the bank was covered and we could not find our magic depth of water, I had to relocate some 6.8 miles West, to once again continue ... yep it was a good days Bass fishing and everyone had a great time, and Tom who totally blanked last time, is photographed with one of the Bass caught yesterday... well done Tom..!! good fishing, good banter, and a lovely day to go with it..!!! interestingly up in the shallows, we found little Tope about 10 inches long, and very small Thornback Rays about 7 inches across the wings,.... nice to see the young fish in number and it such good condition,,,,,, Tight lines..!!!!

  • 07/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Jul 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Its been a while since I posted anything up,with the fishing and maintenance there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day sometimes!

    We have had mixed fishing this last few weeks here in Whitby, some great days some not so great days, we ran a Haddock trip recently which fell into one of those not so good days! we worked hard to find a few fish with our last mark throwing out a few fish to take home for the lads with some nice fish lost off!

    This week has seen the water begin to clear out properly and with it mackerel in numbers everyday, and along with them the Ling have suddenly woken up too, we have seen a few fish into double figures start appearing on the ground this last few trips.

    Yesterday we lost a really good fish, even so, we landed cod to over 12lb and Ling 18lb, all on fresh mackerel. and get this folks, we were only 3 miles offshore!

    The next few weeks should see a lift in numbers of Ling with the possibility of a Croc or two, The big baits have also taken a number of double figure cod this last few weeks,

    If you fancy a trip with me on Mistress call me on 07977 436903 or drop me a message on my FB page Mistress Sea Angling Charters

  • 15/07/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    15 Jul 2015 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    American Tim Maas and his friends from Cambridgeshire joined us the other day and experienced some steady fishing on a stiff NW breeze which hindered the efforts somewhat!!!
    First timer Tim and pals gathered around 60 fish for the day which was cut short due to the conditions. The lads tried really hard for their fish which was to be admired. Regularly winding back to the boat when the lines lifted too far certainly paid off for them. Proving the age old point, "The harder you work, the more fish you will catch"
    Tight lines as ever
