  • 25/11/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Another window in the weather for us yesterday here at Whitby. Took the lads out to the "Wall" for what turned out to be a cracking days angling.

    The drift on the ground was virtually zero, which is no good normally. But due to the sheer volume of cod out there at the moment it didn't make much difference at all. Shads seemed to be making most impression at first but the bait rigs took over the catch rate when the tide changed. Baited Hokkais doing the best.

    We were hampered by a seal for a while but once it had pinched a big cod from one of the lads it disappeared (thank god!) Usually when they turn up the fishing goes off but it didn't yesterday.

    Derek Wiggins from Leeds fished the front of the boat as usual and ended up with a lovely box of cod with 4 ling thrown in. 18 fish in total. His best around the 8lb mark.

    A good number of cod around the 8 to 10lb mark on board.

    The best fish of the day fell to Craig Gillings from Bradford. A belting cod of 21lb 9oz caught on a blue / white shad.

    Craig is pictured.

    Report on-board Discovery

    24th November 2012 - Lucky Lee and the Lads -

    Today the guys finally got to come fishing aboard Discovery, due to the last trip being blown off. It took a while for the fish to make an appearance but when they did it was worth it. Plenty of whiting being brought in with the first Cod of the day falling to Mick. Throughout the day plenty of cod were landed. The guys were battling it out all the way to the end for the pool as Pep thoughout he had it in the bag with a 4lb 6 oz Thornback. Daz decided that Pep had the pool for long enough and hooked into and landed a lovely 7lb Cod. With Pep holding his head in his hands, he carried on right to the end and then landed a 5lb Cod to end the day.

    A good days fishing with a good group of Lads

    See you all Again

  • 24/11/2012 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Lady Grace (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    24 Nov 2012 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Lady Grace

    Today I headed out with Stewart and his son Tom of 10yrs old and Tom's friend Harry. We got to our mark just before high water and fished up until slack and luckily the tide started ebbing quite quickly. Tom showed his dad and friend how to do it by catching the first whiting, then his dad caught one and all of a sudden there was no stopping Tom, he was hauling in whiting every cast while Harry watched and waited patiently, finally Harry started catching a few whiting too and then quietly he reeled in his first ever codling. After a slow start Harry was neck and neck with Tom on the whiting front and had a codling too. Although his codling was sized, he let it go to live another day so he could catch it again next time he came out. Tom ended with 14 whiting and Harry had 13 whiting and 1 codling. We headed in from our 4hour trip with 2 very happy boys and a very pleased dad. I was even happier when I realised that all the big boats that had been out all day had struggled to catch codling, 3only had whiting all day and codling at all so we had one lucky codling aboard Lady Grace.

    Report on-board Discovery

    23rd November 2012

    We locked out of the marina and headed up the river to a mark that has given us some nice fish over the last few years. From the start whiting were being pulled in. Until the first cod of the day was landed around the 2lb mark. After that it was constant fishing all day, with a variety of Cod,Dabs and whiting being landed. Paul a regular on Discovery was fishing from the back when he hooked into a very nice fish, managing to get it all the way to were we could see the zip slider and lead coming out of the water but no sign of the fish, until his line snapped and the fish was gone.

    Shortly after Ian, another regular hooked into a nice cod which gave a good fight right the way to the surface, when it emerged everybody thought it was into double figures, but it eventually weighed in at 9lb 9ozs. A PB Cod for Ian.

    The day drew to a close and the totals for the day were 24 Cod to 9lb 9oz, 100+ Whiting and 24 Dabs


    A cracking day fishing lets hope it continues into a great Cod Season
