Report on-board Mistress
This reports a bit late in coming, it covers last friday and sunday.
Fishing has remained fairly good. Friday we got among the fish again boating 60-70 keepers, with lots of chuck backs.
Sunday we had a slow start with a lift in tides i tried a few other spots ive not visited for a while, but with it being slow i moved for the start of the flood with 4 hours of the trip remaining, we didnt have to move again. We took a steady picking of codlings keeping around 40 and returning the smaller ones.
Best baits continue to be a mixture of dirty squid, black lug and cart.
The weather looks to be coming back off the land for next week, we only need 3 to sail folks, so if youre interested give me a call or text on 07977 436903 to confirm your place.

Report on-board Mistress
Cracking day on the Cod here again at Whitby. With a perfect forecast and only two lads I sailed as I didnt want to let them down.
The tides were quite small and thought we were in for a slow day, but it looks like that south easterly motion got the fish fired up in a few places.
We finished up with 60-70 keepers upto 8lb with quite a few throw backs. Best bait was dirty squid and black lug. With a bit of Tonys secret additive!
The best angler caught around 30 codlings himself, the best of the day of 8lb went to Tony from Doncaster.
If you fancy a trip with me, give me a call or text on 07977 436903

Report on-board Mistress
Happy Christmas guys, hope youve all had a lovely time.
Leading up to the big day we ran a night trip, a few hours sleep then on to a day trip, my deckhand Clag and me were ready for break following our day at sea!
The fishing was ok too, I only had 5 lads for the night trip but we all took a good few fish, 2 lads took a dozen cod and the rest of us 6/8 cod a piece so a good night was had by all.
We were full for the day trip, but had a drop in tides, and a blustery day, meant we were limited to where we could fish, never the less we took a steady picking of cod finishing up with around 50 keepers again, plus chuck backs. The best angler getting around a dozen.
Best bait remains black lug, unwashed squid and cart.
We're running trips again from the 28th, with a day off for new years day.
If youre interested in a days fishing with me give me a call on 07977 436903
Or mail me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a very steady days fishing yesterday, the lads today absolutely creamed it !!
Perfect conditions for working a couple of wrecks just 45 minutes from the harbour, the lads couldn't believe their eyes when the fish started coming aboard in doubles and even trebles at one point !!
Glen Nichols from Nottingham used a "Hartlepool horror" baited with squid and had us all amazed with double hook ups on several occasions (that's doubles on one lure) Glen ended up with a slack box of fish for himself.
Top rod on the boat today was regular Shy-Torque angler Simon England who had a good box of fish ( 7 stone ) himself, working the shad all day long.
Young William Thompson (11) and his Dad Richard from Oxfordshire had a great day too and with our team of 4 from Norfolk, Malc, Steve, Andy and mad Jacko adding a good box and a half to the count I reckon we would have a combined 120+ Cod boated with loads of smaller fish returned too.
A fun filled day for all with plenty enough fish to keep them going over the Xmas period.
Tight lines as ever

Report on-board Mistress
We've managed a couple of days at sea this week so far here at whitby, the weather has been very settled and we've had good fishing to go along with it.
Both days saw 50/60 cod upto 7lb kept with around 30 chuck backs on top of that. Both days saw anglers taking over 10 cod home each.
Best baits remain black lug, unwashed squid and cart.
Iam putting an evening trip together this friday (22/12/17) itll run 6pm till midnight and cost £30 person. I have 3/4 people interested already so have space for another 4. Bait can be supplied if required.
I will start my trips again on December 28th and continue on through winter until i have scheduled yearly out of water painting and maintence.
If youre interested in a trip with me on Mistress either winter fishing or through the summer drop me a call on 07977 436903 or email me seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk.
Summer weekends are starting to fill up on the better tides so please book sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
Heres a very merry christmas to all mistress anglers, I hope to see you all in 2018.
