Report on-board Mistress
Friday turned out to be a successful day and night for the Mistress anglers here at Whitby.
Our day trip saw a good box of fish for the two lads that booked the full boat, they'd caught enough so I filletted their fish for them and got back in an hour and a half early, which gave me the opportunity to prepare for our night trip.
We were all boarded and away for 545pm for our 6hr trip. We moved around a few places through the night and also had a slack water period so it wasnt as fast, best angler took 9 fish to 6lb 8oz. Everybody still caught fish to take home though with quite a few 4/5lbers boated.
So with the weather now taking a bit of a down turn we'll be picking our windows in the weather to get out at the fish. If you want to book a trip with me text or call 07977 436903
Bait available on request.

Report on-board Mistress
Unfortunately we've lost the last two days of the Whitby Sea Anglers Uptide Festival here at Whitby to bad weather. On a plus note Mistress manged to secure 1st place this year, both in the heaviest fish and heaviest bags section, plus many places in the top 10 leaderboard.
Graham Jones from Ackworth near Doncaster caught the winning 7lb 1oz cod netting him a massive £1000, hows that for an early christmas present!
Local angler Alex Leadley got the two heaviest bags of the festival, his winning bag totalling over 61lb!
His other bag was 51lb+ with a 40lb+ bag to Mistress regular David Gleadall from Huddersfield the same day.
Heres a massive thankyou to all our anglers, sponsors and weigh masters, without you guys we wouldn't be able to hold these events.
The catches on the uptiding grounds have been 2nd to none this winter with lots of very good catches with really good numbers of fish. There are plenty of the 2-3lb codlings which keep the rods rattling all day, with a sprinkling of 4-6lb fish and a few bigger ones to the lucky anglers that get them.
We will continue to fish through the winter everyday weather allows. We will also continue to do the evening trips for those with work commitments.
There looks to be a gap in the weather on friday, we only need a couple of peoole to sail.
If you fancy jumping aboard for a trip youll get a warm welcome. Give me a call on 07977 436903 or message me on fb, Mistress Sea Angling Charters.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Still some good fishing to be had here at Whitby, both inshore and offshore.
Our last trip off last week produced a good amount of both Cod and Ling for the mixed group aboard.
Jez Lester having his best catch anywhere he's been so far with a total of 11 fish. the rest of the lads averaged the same if not a few more than that. The ground on the 9 mile producing a nice few fish but the majority coming from a wreck 13 miles from Whitby.
Bill, Peter, John, Simon and Jez are pictured with a few of their catch. Good company and good sport too!
Nice to see it's still fishing after the couple of nasty Northerly's we've just had here.
The boat is working right through the winter this year so if you fancy a run off with us just give me a ring.

Some cracking fishing at Whitby at the moment, both inshore and offshore.
The wrecks and grounds are fishing around the 9 mile areas as are the more offshore areas around the 18 and 20 mile marks. The "Wall" is as ever, at this time of year, producing the goods too.
The areas inside for the uptiding (anchor fishing) are producing too and we will sail with just 2 anglers on those trips. There are a good few dates with availability for individuals as well as empty boat availability too.
If you fancy a trip over the next few weeks leading up to Xmas give me a ring on the usual numbers :-
