    Uptide Competition so far . . .

    I think its about time I wrote an update as Ive been a bit busy just lately with the current uptiding competition we're running here at Whitby. Even with the stiff winds we're still getting away fishing everyday with some fantastic results.

    The first two days of the competition we had small tides and as a result the sport turned out to be a little slow with us only taking 20-30 codlings each day upto around 7lb or 8lb in weight.

    The third day however saw a big jump in the size of the tides, this resulted in some excellent sport onboard Mistress, we took Cod over 10lb in weight (whick took the daily prize and is currently third heaviest Cod overall) and individual bags in excess of 57lb per angler. All fish caught seemed to be between 4lb-6lb with a scattering of better fish thrown in.

    Today the big ones were a bit elusive, but the best angler onboard took 8 Cod all weighing between 3lb and 6lb, not a bad bag of fish at all. The biggest today weighed in at 5lb 12oz by local angler Andy Spilman and made the lucky chap £50 for his efforts. Well done mate.

    Pictured is John Dixon winner of the 2011 uptide festival with his bag of cod weighing in at 57lb 10oz taken on the 12/11/12

  • 09/11/2012 Fishing Report by Ray Martin on PLAN B (Southend-On-Sea, Essex)

    9 Nov 2012 by Ray Martin

    Report on-board PLAN B

    Saturday I had the Post Office boys out for their annual comp- They caught well over 250 fish... Not bad in one day trip. The cod proved a bit elusive, but Alan Managed a nice one right at the end. Fish caught were Whiting, Dogs, pout and dabs and of course Cod.
    Sunday anglers seemed to attract dogs, dogs and more dogs.. a couple of cod on each mark but the dogs were a real pain.

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

    Nov 2012 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Some breezy conditions the other day hindering the operations somewhat. A mixed group of lads ( from the North of the country ) did fish well however with cod to just under 9lb and ling to 14lb.

    The tides at present are enormous and aren't much good for the wrecking here at Whitby. The wind has also been a little on the stiff side this last few days so we've been hard at work back on land.

    Next trip away on the boat is this coming Sunday ( weather permitting ) with another mixed group.

    Finger crossed for the weather to get back off shore again!!

    All the winds this last week have been from the prevailing West/ Southwest so the water will definately be like gin for us out there, so hopefully we'll be back amongst the big cod!!

    Pictured is Ben Steer from Sheffield.

    Tight lines

  • 10/11/2012 Fishing Report by jon old on High Flyer 2 (Great Yarmouth, Norfolk)

    10 Nov 2012 by jon old

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    The lads from Greene King Brewery came out with us today, some been before, nice bunch of lads and all sober! Tide dictated where we went as usual, ended up North Roads on the ebb, First cod went to Dave as usual, next cod to birthday boy Russel and our last cod to Matt. The rest unfortunately had to put up with whiting, nice size ones for time of year. on slack water we up anchor and tried the Bank, bit lumpy , no flatties there couldnt understand it, just whiting again!. On the start of the flood headed inshore off a little mark inside ended up with few flatties, and more whiting ,no more cod on the flood. Big thanks to Tom for all his effort in organizing, much appreciated, Dan,Nick,Matt,Adam,Adi,Dan,Dean,and Russel and Dave for crewing. Thanks for the day men, hope you didnt get into trouble for being home late! Blame me. Hope to see you guys night fishing soon. All the best. Jon.
