Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
26 Apr 2013 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
26.04 13.
Rob Smith and his team joined us board the boat on the 26th April.
With the fishing here at Whitby being somewhat "patchy" shall we say on the inner marks, we have been working offshore to try and find the fish.
We cruised out to a couple of wrecks on the 20 mile stream for very little and decided that we would go to the ground that can usually save the day. That being the "Wall"
Judging by what the other lads were catching inside us this had definately proved to be a good move indeed.
By close of play the lads had gathered a few fish each for the table. 40 or so fish for the boat. Sadly no monsters but a nice few Codling, Pollack and Coalie to the 5lb mark.
Great weather and a great team of lads making the day very enjoyable for all.

Fishing Report by John wilford
on Avante (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Avante
had a great weekend over the bank holiday with the alge bloom hindering the in shore fishing I steamed off to find clear water and some nice big fish
On Saturday Karl Dave Nico and Mark made up a individual bookings so we had plenty of room to say the least with just four (the minimum I could take to make it worth while for me anyway) once we arrived we were into fish Pollock Cod and some nice big ones to 10lb we all fished shad most of the day and although the sea was choppy it fell away to give us a great afternoon the forecasters got it right hurray!
Sunday I had just four bookings again forum member Jonty came with his pal Kevin and new to me were Simon and his wife Chrissie same plan steam off but a much nicer start weather wise the fishing was a little slower although the water looked much clearer? Still plenty of fish on the go Chrissie was first to strike then again and again she had three or four before any of the others had seen a life but eventually all ended up with some nice fish and yours truly landed a good strong Cod over 10lb which fell to the shad
Monday the boat had 7 anglers aboard Bob Richard Paul and Sam made up a three and Simon came with his dad and another sorry for the names I forgot again many forum members I employed the same plan with the best forecast of the holiday weekend we set sail in the sun and returned in the sun we had much better stamp generally and more fish for some reason the water was green agin but changed depending on tide strength during the day I think Richard had the best day bait fishing most of the day he landed some crackers and a best Pollock around 12lb a guess as my scales were broken as the fish was only showing 2lbs on the digital read the fishes head would have weighed nearly a pound so in the bin they went then some big double figure cod finished of with a few nice ling
Simon also had some great fish in his bag at the end of the day as did all the rest of the lads
Simon
in all good signs that the summer inshore fishing is only round the corner

Report on-board High Flyer 2
What a great day out, lots of fish, lots of laughs, even the weather was on our side for a change (we haven't had a lot of luck with the weather this year so far, but this made up for a lot of the rough old trips). All trips should be like this but even in the rougher trips this winter I've never had a trip on Highflyer when I haven't enjoyed myself. I only went for the dabs because Chalky said he wanted some for his granddaughter. a poor excuse I know but it's the only one I can think of.

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Lovely start to the day weather wise, unfortunately tide caught us little bit wrong so a bit of waiting around. Made the decision to wait inshore been caught out before, paid off with the lovely skate pictured , both falling to Mitch one 11Lb 1oz the other esimated between 4 and 5lb. Few doggie showed up for us first of the season, glad to see them! As tide weakened headed north out to a skate mark which produced nothing very strange never failed before. wind became a bit strong at this point so we decided to head back in to our original mark for shelter. Ended up with countless doggies , the two skate from same mark, couple of flatties thrown in. Thanks to Stu for organizing the lads, Terry, young Owen, Kev,Rob,Clive, with Lee ,first timer all way from Bedford,appreciate you travelling, also Mitch todays champion, and Collin and Ron, was a most enjoyable day with good banter as usual, hope this season proves a good one. Nice to see you all, All the best. Jon.

on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Mistress
Fishing is definately on the turn here at Whitby.
Craig and his pals from Network Rail in Manchester had some nice fish today.
Graham landed the biggest fish of the season so far aboard Mistress - An absolutely belting 26lb Ling.
It came from a distant wreck some 2 1/2 hour steam away from port. Caught on squid bait just as the flood tide started pushing.
Graham was using our Daiwa Hire tackle kindly donated by Daiwa earlier this year.
It consisted of a 20/30 Sea Hunter and a Slosh 30 multiplier
Well done Graham

Report on-board Hard Labour
May bank holiday weekend was a mixed bag.
Saturdays forecast wasn't the greatest and considering it was predicted to blow 20mph, it was actually blowing 35mph. We still managed to find some fish, but the weather cut our day short.
Sunday was a better forecast and the offshore banks were the target. fishing wasn't fast and furious but steady and over the course of the day the species and numbers of fish racked up. schoolie bass, dabs, skate, codling, pouting and the ever present thames tiger shark (LSD).
Monday was a local trip and by far the best day for numbers of fish although the species list was down. Plenty of skate was the order of the day mainly good sized fish too in the 8 to 10 lb bracket, with the biggest of the day going 11.5lb. Most of the maids went back, but the boys were not so lucky. The crew went home with a good feed of fish View Boats Page
