    Report on-board Discovery

    Thursday 25th October 2012 - Chris Taylor -

    We locked out of the marina just after high water and headed up the river. When we got to the first mark and anchored, we began to get the lads geared up. With the baits all in the water it didnt take long for the first fish of the day to be pulled aboard a thornback of 4lb 9oz falling to Sweep. After this everybody began boating whiting untill Chris pulled in the first cod of the day weighing in at 2lb 4oz. Not to be outdone Arthur began pulling in Cod to 3lb. With plenty of dabs whiting doggies and Cod, we decided a move was in order.

    After anchoring more whiting and dabs were pulled aboard with a couple of nice Thornbacks to 7lb. As we apporached to last hour of the trip a few more Cod were pulled in by Arthur, Chris and Wayne. Total Cod for the trip was 11, with 3 Thornbacks, numerous whiting dogs and dabs.

    A Cracking trip with a good bunch of lads

    A picture speaks a thousand words.

    Report on-board Warrior II

    Hi all, well what a funny old season that was ! first we had an early shark on 6th June then poor weather for the rest of the month. July showed promise with some good sized sharks, then plenty of sharks but some awful weather in August (our best day had 11 sharks). Sept started well and had 46 sharks in 14 days before engine trouble !! Out of commission for 14 days then back to it.
    We are now at the end of Oct and the reef fishing (when we can get out is pretty good - out last Mon and lots of different species inc. Brians Five and a half pound Black Bream !
    Force Ten is in the water all Winter so I have a Text list of Anglers that can get down if there is a window in the weather, if you want to get on txt list just send your details and I can then give you the option.
    Thanks to all that fished or booked this year and please dont leave it late if you want sharking dates in high season as diary is filling rapidly ! Wishing you all a Happy Xmas and a safe and healthy New Year. Tight Lines, Pete

  • 27/10/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Report on-board Mistress

    Not strictly a boat report here, but with the strong northerly storm we have just encountered here at Whitby, there has been some exellent shore caught catches.

    The people who know me, will know Im a very keen angler and enjoy my shore fishing. I fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday, each day producing some lovely cod, the sea colour at the minute is like chocolate and the uptiding, as soon as we get out this week will be absolute dynamite, the fish will be feeding hard and confidently after the blow up.

    Last night (Sunday) was our local club match, there were several fish weighed in between 6lb and 8lb and the biggest bag was well over 20lb in weight.

    Dont miss the good fishing folks, get booked on this week for some Uptiding there is a better than average chance of some double figure Cod.
    You dont have to book the boat, with us uptiding I will sail with a minimum of two anglers.

    Tight lines

    Rich

    Two fish caught off the west pier on saturday afternoon, in daylight!
    one at 4lb and the other 5lb

  • 27/10/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    27 Oct 2012 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The weather here at the moment is diabolical to say the least !!

    A howling Northerly which I guess even the lifeboat crew would be a little reluctant to sail in. Gusts last night reached 70mph in some areas across the North East causing some storm damage.

    The forecast for next week isn't a lot better to be honest, although the forecasters have predicted the wind to swing more into an offshore direction, but still very strong all week.

    We have decided to take a short break whilst the kids half term holidays are running, so our next availability will be from November 5th. The tides from the 5th are very good so if you fancy a go give me a ring ( I have taken the work number with me ) This will also give it a good chance to settle down again. We will sail with a minimum of 4 anglers. You don't have to book the whole boat !

    Happy fishing lads

    Rich.

    Wednesday 24th October 2012 -Ray and the lads

    We locked out of the marina and headed up the river to our first mark of the day. We dropped the anchor and got the lads fishing. It didn't take long for the whiting to make an appearance. Shortly after it didn't take ray long to hook and land a 2lb 4 oz cod. Some big whiting we're landed and as slack water approached Keith hooked into and boated a lovely 3lb 8oz cod.

    We decided on a move and began catching plenty more whiting and then with Shaun fishing a bait for congers hooked into a small strap conger of about 3lb. Then with Ray Jnr pulling in whiting he dropped in another fresh bait and hooked and landed a 3lb 15oz cod which took him into the lead for heaviest fish.

    Some of the guys decided to try a bush tucker trial "Discovery" style. With squid eyes and whiting heads the order of the day, Paul was the first to sample the delightful taste of a squid eye. Rolling it around his tongue to get the taste then swallowing it without a second glance. Ray not to be outdone decided that a freshly filleted whiting head would be his next sample. Taking a glance at the head he began to chew on the meat and go for the eyes. Nobody else wanted to try anything else after this so that put an end to it.

    After the guys had a bit of fun more and more whiting were brought in and some dabs. With a the guys happy we called it a day and headed back to the marina for a lock in.
