  • 16/07/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Report on-board Mistress

    We started the day on a wreck a few miles from port today as it was pretty much slack water when we got out. The lads set about taking a steady picking of fish until the tide started pushing. Although the day wasnt hectic the lads took a steady picking of fish all day from each mark we stopped at. Bait fished better today although the shads still accounted for a few nice fish.

    We worked a mixture of ground and wrecks today catching quite a few fish into double figures. Finally on a wreck we took an extra 20-30 codlings and pollock to finish the day on high note.

    Species taken today include, Ling to 15lb, Cod to 10lb, Pollock to 6lb, thean a mixture of Coalie, Whiting, Pouting, Mackerel and Tub Gurnard.

    Pictured is Alan, from Blackburn with the best fish of the day

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Today was a testing day for all , the weather report totally wrong ,wind being its usual pain making conditions difficult. The rain didnt improve conditions but well done to the lads for sticking the day. Plan was to try some inshore wrecks out on the 9 mile mark sounder showing plenty but could we get them! Not playing ball at all today no explanation, tried all manner of tactics with well experienced anglers we struggled. Results were a small ling, mackerel, one small turbot nice to see and lovely tope pictured caught over a bank on fresh mackerel. Big thanks to Ian for organizing trip, Chalky for crewing today, Mark A,Mark B, Willy,Tom,Chris, Andy and Kelvin. First time on the High Flyer for your group pity the fish were not as i expected today nor the weather we had bit of a rough one all round hope next time we get it right, many thanks men for the day.
    Jon.

  • 12/07/2012 Fishing Report by Gary Flint on Discovery (Liverpool, Merseyside)

    12 Jul 2012 by Gary Flint

    Report on-board Discovery

    Thursday 12th July

    We left the marina with the hopes of getting offshore. As we approached the lighthouse we could see the turbines spinning and didnt know how far we could get out. The forecast was for a decresing wind all day, we all made the choice to bottom fish whilst waiting for the wind to decrease. We dropped the anchor on a mark 28miles from Liverpool. The lines were in the water and straight from the off we were into mackeral, gurnard, dogfish. With everyone getting plauged with doggies we decided to head offshore. We got to the chosen mark and fished straight away. A few decent Cod and Pollack were brought aboard and with everybody happy we decided to go to another mark further out. With various baits over the side, John Tandy hooked into a nice bullhuss of 17lb 10oz and Nev hooked into and boated a very nice Cod of 7lb 10oz closely followed by Paul with another Cod. The guys were enjoying themselves that much that knowbody noticed it was time to head in.

    A good day was had by all.

    A PICTURE SPEAKS A THOUSAND WORDS!

    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Mon 16th July - Went to go and look at some wrecks today- although damp everyone was still keen! Drifted the first 2 bit quiet for our liking so went and had a look at another one.... We stayed here for about 3 hours every drift bringing up bigger better Cod each time- after a while it slowed off a bit so went and had a look at a couple more that were a bit snaggy and not alot of fish on. Moved on to the next and stayed here for the rest of the day landing tones of Cod, Also seen a few Wrasse, Pouting and Whiting today- If we could have we would of stayed longer and kept pulling fish up, so much so much for the other 5 wrecks we were going to try!!!!.... What a crackin day 57 Cod landed! All good size between 6-12lb! HAPPY DAYS!!!

  • 16/07/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    16 Jul 2012 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A mixed group of lads enjoyed an unusually settled day at sea today on the Shy-Torque. Sea conditions were good but the stuff from upstairs hit us yet again. A proper oilskin day !!

    It seemed like we were on a species hunt without realising it with 9 different species on board throughout the day.

    Nothing much of any great size today, however the lads did enjoy boating plenty of codling to just over 8lbs and a good number of ling to just over 10lbs.

    Best methods today were without doubt the Hokkai traces tipped with squid or mackerel.

    Pictured is Mick Long with a nice haddock.

    Tight lines

    Rich.

    Report on-board Ocean explorer

    me and my mate had never been on the wandering star before so we were both unsure what to expect although turns out we didnt have to as they were extremely helpful giving tips whenever they could and we both caught decent sized cod, between us we caught 7 cod. Great days fishing and we will be using them again without a doubt in the very near future. Thanks a lot Lee and John will be seeing you both very soon :-D
