Report on-board Mistress
What an amazing skipper Tony is he sure knows his water 7 of us went on Saturday the 17th may 2014 and had a cracking day caught lots of cod I'll be eating it for a month.
He met us at exactly 8am as arranged and was out of the harbour wall within 15 minutes and spent a full 8 hours out at sea he provide a light snack to keep us full of energy the weather was amazing and his assistant was great.
After we finished he filleted all of our cod and sent us home smiling we have already discussed returning in the summer.
I recommend tony and andy to anyone thats never been before because they are very patient and very understanding top blokes and we can't wait to go again see you soon tony and andy and thanks for a great experience

Report on-board Ocean explorer
Well , what a fabulous day it has been today with the cod catch .over 60 cod caught mostly between 3-8lb for the boat ,and a big congratulations to Ryan , who caught his first cod and a ling of around 6lb .
The start to the day was a little slow for the fish to come aboard as it was low water and a little wind was pushing us along at a couple of knot's ,but as the tide changed and started to move again , everyone was into cod .
The afternoon produced the best of the fishing to cod again ,from just about every drop ,there was even a few coalies caught .
Everyone on board went home with cod
All in all , a excellent days fishing was had by all .
Thanks Skipper View Boats Page

Catch report 2014
March/April
With a very mild winter we got off to an early start with the first Codling being caught by Bill Jenkinson on the 7th of March, a small fish of around 2lb which was returned for another day.
The first day there was any quantity of fish caught, was the 11th April where 7 anglers caught 56 Codlings with 28 being returned, 28 were kept for the table, between 2lb to 3lb. Along with the Codlings, there were also Pout ,wrasse, scorpion fish. The first Pollack of around 2lb was caught and returned by Dennis Miller on a Jelly worm on the same trip. Late April averages were around a couple of Codlings per angler with a lot of small Codlings being returned. For April, the catches have been quite steady, with a lot of small fish being returned .You can only catch what’s there it’s no good complaining about the size of the fish.
Spring fish are Spring fish, if you are not prepared to put the smaller fish back don’t go, the better fish will be here soon enough. The best baits have been without, doubt prawns fished on small (0/5) daylights and green hokkis, fresh dug worms have fished well and fine cut strips of calamari have worked well.
May 3rd
The Maggie May’s SAC from Carlisle, averaged around 6 Codlings per angler, and as usual returned a lot of small size fish, and only kept fish of 16 inches and above.
May 4th
Overnight, the fish seemed to improve, with Tom Holloway landing a 5 lb 1oz Codling (see photo) John Ord, had the best fish so far this year at 5lb 12oz, and then caught another codling of 5lb 15oz, may be on a rocking boat it, should have been 6 pounds plus. (see photos )
May the 5th .
The weather this year has been unsettled with the wind remaining Easterly and Northerly resulting in coloured water up to four and a half miles off , the best Codling this year so far was caught by Dave Munro which weighed 7lb 14 oz,( see photo ) there were plenty of Codling between the 2lb to 4 lb mark and still an average catch of 6 codlings per person, the fish are gradually getting a better stamp of fish .
May 10th
The Dalston SAC from Carlisle had a red letter day fishing off the rough ground, their first trip of the new season they ended up with 238 Codlings between 2lb to 5lb of which 122 smaller codlings were returned unharmed.

Typical Bank holiday weekend weather stirred the sea up with 20 mph Northerly winds making the water coloured and fishing difficult ,as a result of the weather Friday and Saturday was Cancelled.

First time out of Hartlepool and had excellent days fishing with Skipper Lee. One or two of my fellow anglers had unfortunately lost their sea-legs and much ground-baiting was done. First cod of the season caught on the new rod 7 1/2 pounds. Thanks again to Skipper Lee.
