    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Today was Friday 13th unlucky for us! Our wrecking trip of 5am start was the worst i ever experienced due to the fact every wreck we tried no fish at all were tempted. All baits under the sun used , done the usual wrecks all the biggies ended up nearly off Cromer still nothing. Not even a pouting! Wind kept increasing bit lumpy so as the wrecking was dire we ended up on a bank off Happisburgh at a spot of uptiding. i was lucky enough to end up with this tope pictured here took mackerel head finding best bait this year, few whitting came in along with flatties. As the wind was strengthening we decided to head right inshore and finish the day off Winterton on the flatty grounds. Was dissapointing wrecking wise but thinking we could hopefully if it turns cold be in for a bumper cod year as poor last year, no spring codling run and hardly cod on the wrecks does this mean loads havent been caught?Time will tell, looking forward to the winter and first frosts, this week been few whitting showing up with still odd doggies about , the first herring have been caught so begins another season. Will let you know when first codling appear, this winter hope to increase our night trips weather depending. Watch this space. Jon. (High Flyer)

  • 16/09/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    16 Sep 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    16.09.2013.

    We did our second to last sharking trip last Thursday (12th) with a group of regular lads from around the Richmond area. A lovely forecast for a change, allowing us to get out to our usual stomping ground where we have had good results on all the shark trips so far this year.

    Sadly this wasn't to be the case on this trip! A lovely days sport for the bottom fishing however, with around 20 pollack, 30 cod, 15 or so ling and various other bits and bobs including haddock. A nice picking for the 4 lads.

    I'm guessing that the Northerly blow which we'd had a few days prior to the trip had some effect on the days sharking.

    John Wilcock (crew) is pictured with one of his ling just over 13lb.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    14.09.2014.

    Some real crappy weather here at the moment with even more to come. Typical, as it's the start of the late summer competition this weekend!!

    Last day off with general anglers for the Shy Torque was last Sunday (8th)

    A steady days work out on the rough ground on the 9 mile with some lovely ling showing. No monsters but a good number of fish to 12lbs were boated. Still not a great number of cod showing here but I'm sure things will improve on the cod front once the herring have disappeared, which will be in the next few weeks.

    No days left in September now but we do still have a few dates left in October and early November before we get the boat lifted out of the water on the 12 November for a re-fit, with new engines for 2014.

    Pictured is Daniel from Sedgefield Co Durham.

  • 13/09/2013 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    13 Sep 2013 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    Autumn is definately here now, the Whiting are arriving in numbers, these fish are being followed by the large Bass as proved today by Hienric & crew over from Belgium on a fishing holiday aboard Duke IV.
    Along with the Bass a good catch of Skate and Whiting kept the guys minds off the damp weather.
    A run of Skate is the norm at this time of year, these fish are very welcome along with the winter Cod that should arrive inshore early next month.
    Hienric landed todays Bass on a daisy chain of mackerel chunks with the fish taking a squid on the last hook. Shows its always worth trying something different, smiles all round when the Bass rolled into the net after a good scrap.
    We have been landing the most superb Mackerel off Deal lately, these fish are feeding on sandeels, so prevelant at the moment. Great sport for the youngsters and the finest eating fish around.
    The bait requirements for the day become easier in winter with Lug & squid for the Cod & Whiting and herring for the Skate. Cuttle can also prove useful for the better Cod, this bait is not the favourite food for the doggies so more likely to be there when the Cod turn up.
    Still space available on Duke IV for groups or indivduals.
    Tight lines all, Bob.

    Autumn Turbot and Brill Fishing on Ocean Warrior 3

    Newhaven's Ocean Warrior 3 is still on the Turbot and the Brill with some outstanding results. Tomasz Lukaszewicz who had been given a gift voucher and never been sea fishing before had some nice Turbot and Brill. His biggest Brill was 8lb which was a good catch for his first time out.

    The weather has been reasonable of late as we come to the end of the summer. We will stay on the Turbot and Brill for a little bit longer then back on the first run of Cod, which will be starting to show soon. I am looking forward to the first run of Cod coming, which will be in the next couple weeks. We will back fishing at anchor with the big Cod baits back on.

    Ocean Warrior 3 still has spaces during the week if you fancy a days angling. Call Dave on 07966 377145 or check out the website at www.oceanwarrior3.com to see some of the latest catches.

    8 Sep 2013 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Following a successful day fishing the reefs here at Whitby on Sunday, taking a good few fish in to double figures, the best being 14lb 8oz, We had an evening trip booked with one of my regular anglers and his family. Marks kids are only young so to start with i suggested we have a crack at the uptiding to start with before going offshore for a few mackerel, seeing as I caught a few codlings from the shore the other night as well as getting plenty of bites.

    We got bites withing a few minutes of settling into anchor, and took several codling around 40cm in length, then young Sam got a better bite which resulted in a nice codling which took the boat scales to 4lb 12oz, we got a few more fish, then decided to head for a few Mackerel to finish the session with.

    All in all to say we only fished for around half an hour taking half a dozen codling was quite a good sign for the up coming uptiding season, which i believe will start early this year.

    We are currently experiencing a big northerly & when it dies down and we get back to sea on Thursday I think we will get fish uptiding. I currently have no one booked on and only need three people to make it viable for the day, if you fancy having ago at some early season inshore codling, give me a buzz on 07977 436 903

    cheers

    Rich
