    30 .09.13 Alans group We left the Marina hoping for Cod after breaking the Dogfish record the day before i was hopefully because after catching so many there must not of been many left in the UK how wrong can one be,we did not only just beat the record today we must have doubled it,doggies where every where we moved hope fully the cold will move them out ,we also caught plenty of rays today and a small Tope ,Bullhuss,Dabs,Whiting and weevers never mind we had a good laugh with a really good group of lads hopefully these next springs will bring Cod in

    September 2013.
    The fishing this month was poor this year,possible due to the disturbance out in the bay never mind its drawing to an end out there and we will have all of our waters back after Christmas ,We have had a good run of Tope, the Smoothounds where patchy after early September. We have tried to fish the river for early Cod on the way in but no luck yet never mind Oct will produce Cod hopefully.

  • 04/10/2013 Fishing Report by Paul Kilpatrick on Sea Otter 2 (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    4 Oct 2013 by Paul Kilpatrick

    Report on-board Sea Otter 2

    My decision today after the big southeastly sea and the tides now and well on the up and getting bigger by the today was to have a crack at uptiding .
    The swell when we went out was big but it was forcast to drop off as the day went on lines went into the water and it was only minuites before the fish were coming aboard and today it was the stamp of fish which really made the day with all the mops about it was fish between 4-6lb which were dropping on the deck plus mops as well the fishing was frantic all the way through the ebb tide non stop action for the lads and this is just the start of whats looking like a massive bumper winter uptiding season its alive with cod .

  • 10/2013 Fishing Report by Dave Elliott on Ocean Warrior 3 (Brighton, East Sussex)

    Oct 2013 by Dave Elliott

    Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3

    Now that we are moving in to Autumn, the inshore Cod fishing has started well. We have had some nice Cod coming up already.

    The biggest one this week so far went to Wladyslaw Sikorski with his 23lb Cod. This was his first time sea fishing and they all enjoyed their day out Cod fishing.

    It has been nice to see some new faces aboard Ocean Warrior 3.

    There have also been plenty of Whiting showing as well. The Cod fishing will only get better as the weather gets colder.

    We have also still been getting some nice Brill and Turbot on the offshore marks when the weather has been calmer. All around the fishing has been really good this month.

    If you are looking to book up a Cod fishing trip, call David on 07966 377145 or take a look at the calendar for available dates.

    Report on-board Mistress

    WCSA Autumn Festival.

    Over the event we saw many good fish weighed in with a great effort from the skippers in the fleet and also the participating anglers.
    Here on Mistress we took the top spot, with a cracking Ling of 21lb 11 1/2oz. The fish fell to Harry from Rochdale, with him winning a total prize of £1050 for his efforts. It was Harrys first time fishing so it goes to show to dont have to be experienced to win! you just need a dollop of beginners luck! well done mate.

    We also took overall 3rd heaviest fish, with another good ling of 20lb 6 1/2oz for local angler Gary Smith from Whitby.

    Other notable fish was one of 18lb 3 1/2 oz for John Holder of Malton. we also took many fish from 10lb to 17lb

    I would like to extend a massive thankyou to all participants and sponsors for the event, without your continued support we wouldnt be able to hold the events.

    pictured is Harry with his winning Fish

  • 01/10/2013 Fishing Report by jon old on High Flyer 2 (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk)

    1 Oct 2013 by jon old

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Just bringing all trips up to date. as we are on what i call change over period summer species leaving, few odd winter fish turning up, fishing a bit patchy. We now need a bit of cold to bring the cod in, have caught few small codling nothing worth a photo, the whitting getting more and more thicker soon the bigger ones should arrive. Still catching spotty dogs of all sizes amazes me how small some are this year! Most of the smoothies have left inshore only caught the odd one lately still connecting with few skate when we can get out to the banks. The strong south easterlies have scuppered most of last week and this week , pictured here is Dave Pike who also skippers the High flyer with myself with a four and half pound bass caught on whole squid. We will be doing more herring trips this year as proved very popular, people love pulling in the nets to see those silver darlings dangling, end up with a feed as well, please ask if you want to organise or be part of a herring trip and we can sort the right tide out for you. Looking forward now to winter hoping the cod season this year is a good one, we are due one! Until then tight lines everyone hope you can join me and Dave on the High Flyer at some point.
    Jon.

  • 30/09/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    30 Sep 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    30.09.2013.

    The September angling competition ended here last Saturday after all the boats cancelled for bad weather on the final day ( Sunday ) Good decision by all I think !!

    The last 3 days of the event saw the lads aboard the boat experiencing some top sport . Ling nudging just over the 20lb mark were boated with a good number into the teens.

    To be honest I don't think any of the skippers here at Whitby have ever tried harder to try and get that winning fish!!!

    After a count-up on the leader board we found that the lads on the Shy-Torque had managed more daily prize winners than any other of the boats in the competition including 4 x 1st place winners. A cracking result for both the boat and the lads combined.

    The 8 daily prize winners on the boat are as follows :-

    19.09.2013.
    Mark Nichols ( Selby ) 17lb 8.5oz - 1st Daily prize.
    Mark Kirby ( Sheffield ) 10lb 5.5oz - 2nd Daily prize.
    David Ezzy (Edinborough) 8lb 13.5 oz - 3rd Daily prize.

    25.09.2013.
    James Rook ( Barnsley ) 15lb 7.5oz - 3rd Daily prize.

    26.09.2013.
    Patrick May ( Loftus ) 18lb 14.5oz - 1st Daily prize.

    27.09.2013.
    Paul Siddle ( Hull ) 20lb 1.5oz - 1st Daily prize.

    27.08.2013.
    Stuart Hutchinson ( Barnsley ) 18lb 7oz - 3rd Daily prize.

    28.09.2013.
    John Walker ( Barnsley ) 19lb 1.5oz - 1st Daily prize.

    May I thank all the lads who fished this year aboard the boat in this years competitions and here's hoping we see you all again next year for some more excellent sport.

    Wherever you fish may your lines be tight!!

    Pictured is Paul Siddle from Hull with his 1st daily prize winner of 20lb 1.5oz. Paul was fishing with his mate Brian Towle (also from Hull) who won last years September competition on the Shy-Torque.

    Cheers

  • 24/09/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    24 Sep 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    24.09.2013.

    Today we had Paul Deardon's team from South Yorks Fire Dept join the boat to have a crack in this years September competition.

    Paul and the lads fish on the Shy-Torque 4 or 5 times a year and are usually blessed with good weather and good fishing too. Today was no exception for them.

    "Mill pond" conditions greeted us on our departure and remained that way all day for the lads. A bit misty and damp but who cares when you could hold a lit match up without it being blown out!!!!!!!

    The lads turned up with their usual group of 6 (nice light boat) so we headed out to a few wrecks to have a crack at the big one. The cod fishing was superb on the first two wrecks. Best fish going a tad under 10lb. No big ling though, although plenty of these too.

    We dropped on our last wreck just before 2.30pm giving us time for just 3 drifts. Again no big fellas but another 10 fish were boated to add to their overall catch of some 90 - 100 fish.

    The lads will be returning again next year for another crack at the prize money!

    Chris Mee is pictured with one of his many cod at just under 10lb.

    Tight lines
    Rich
