Report on-board Mistress
With another few days of bad weather, I thought it would be about time for an update for us here at Whitby,
This spell of bad weather has also given me chance to get some service jobs done prior to the start of the festival this weekend.
Leading up the bad weather we had mixed fishing, the neap tides producing the best with us boating around 90 keeper codlings, ling and Pollock on our best day then as the tides peaked out at 5.8m catch rates fell away, never the less the anglers still enjoying their day with me and leaving another 5 star review on the internet.
We've started to see some of the bigger Ling showing with the best this week of 17lb off a local ground mark on a big 5.6m tide, so it goes to show you can still get the big fish on big tides!
we've had a few more into double figures too.
The charter skippers enjoyed a really successful RNLI charity even recently too raising a staggering £940 with the fishing competition and raffle, we had some great fish aboard for our anglers, to just short of double figures, we had two very keen junior lady anglers, Kelly Gillings from Middlesbrough who won the junior section, and Maison McCourt from Whitby with another ling slightly smaller, all in all a great night for all involved!
So this week sees the start of the grand summer festival with a massive £5000 up for grabs, we still have spaces for this event if you fancy jumping on for a day with us. Entry fee is only £5 per person, on top of the charter fee of £50 for ten hours, sailing at 7am-5pm
Weather permitting we have an evening trip going on Wednesday 5th June, 5pm-8pm and it'll be £20 per person.
if youre interested drop me a call or text on 07977 436903
or drop me an email at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Some great fishing this last few trips for all the teams who joined us on the Shy-Torque III.
The weather has been unreal with glassy calm and clear waters making the fishing relatively easy for all concerned. Perfect drift fishing, plumb vertical lines and some cracking fish.
The top angler this week was Paul Cookson from Bolton in Lancashire. He had some 20 fish himself yesterday with a mixture of cod and ling. His lad Lee boating the best fish on board with a ling just shy of a stone in weight (14lb)
We have also done a couple of sharking trips this last week with shark on on both trips. Sadly all the shark we had on the line managed the escape. So very annoying, but at least we know that there are a good number out there for us this year to keep trying for. If you fancy a go for the big boys give me ring.
Bob Ellis from Focus Training Ltd who sponsors some of the Charter Skippers competitions here at Whitby joined us on Monday this week for his first ever sharking mission. He had 2 shark on during the morning. One of them leading him a merry dance around the boat for over half an hour before spitting the hook. Bob said it was an unbelievable feeling but also extreemley tiring!!
We always manage to do some bottom fishing whilst we are on the sharking trips and Bob's best fish was a lovely cod of 11 lbs He, his son Sam and friend Richard managed a good show of both cod and ling on the
trip.
Bob is pictured inset.
If you fancy a go in this years Summer competition which starts soon on the 1st July, we do still have some
places left.
Give me a call on my direct number 07733 233352 or home 01947 603472 or mail me on richardward384@yahoo,co.uk. There are some great cash prizes again this year with the top prize being a massive £5000.00 in cash!!! Fishing is a lottery so come and have a go!!!
