Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Perfect weather greeted Danny Antcliffe and his mates from Hull the other day.
The fishing in the morning however wasn't so perfect ! After trying four wrecks for a mere half a dozen fish in the morning we decided that a look on the ground was in order.
A little "hot spot" I know was the next mark to try. Plenty of feed marking on the ledge and plenty of cod in amongst it made for a couple of hours of real good fishing. The lads pulled 50 cod from the mark in an hour or so and really saved the day for us. Great sport and some lovely prime fresh run cod for the table.
The lads are pictured with some of their catch.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Hi all,
The last few trips for the anglers on the Shy-Torque have been very mixed indeed.
On the days when the weather and tides have been in our favour we have been seeing some half decent catches with cod to 15lb being taken. On the days when the tides have been big and the wind has hindered us we have been struggling to say the least. Some days we've only managed around 20 to 30 fish.
The good news is that the water is definately clearing with the majority of our better fish falling to the jelly lurres. Shads, Sidewinders etc.
The tides are big at present but do start falling away next week. We have room on most days next week so if you fancy a bash give me a call on any of the numbers. We will sail with a minimum of 3 anglers.
07733 233352 (Boat direct)
07747 848406
01947 603472.
Paul from Manchester is pictured with our best cod of last week at 15lbs.
Cheers and tight lines

Report on-board TROT- ON
Sorry for the late report but here goes, Wednesday the 10th of May found us at sea on probably the best day of the year so far at Whitby. The North East's premier cod spot. With flat calm seas and the sun on our backs the fishing was not quite fast and furious but steady. With the water clearing day by day we are hopefull for another good year. We steamed off to the 18 mile mark to try some wrecks. With a great bunch of anglers aboard the steam out passed very quickly. Arriving at Paul " Dolly" Eddons first wreck we were into coddling to about 5lb they were being taken on Shads, Bait and Hookki's. Along with Pollack, Ling, Whiting, Pouting and Haddock. As I was retriving a small coddling of about 3lb we had a Porbeagle shark of approx 6 - 7 feet long follow the coddling from the depths. He actually breached on the stern but nobody had a camera available to catch the breach. with that he sank back down to the depths. This created quite a buzz aboard. Trot On regular and Ex - W.C.S.A Spring festival winner Dave Makings was bringing a Haddock to the surface and this was also followed by our " New Friend" who wanted to investigate the struggling fish. This time we were ALL better prepared for a photo call. The rods went down and the camera's were out to catch some fantastic pictures. (Unfortunately I can only upload 1 pic to the report but a full report with Pics and video can be found on our FB site) . We tried a few more wrecks with similar catch results before a turn of tide quietend the fishing off. Which came just about the time to wind in and call it a day. All in all a great day to be at sea with Good company, Great Skipper, A varied selection of fish, On Whitby's Premier charter boat "Trot On"

Report on-board Mistress
The last few days aboard Mistress here at Whitby have been pretty good!
Thankfully the weather gods have played ball with us this week, and with the small tides its meant we can get out to the wrecks, Shads have fished most consistently as the waters clearing all the time now,
A few of the days we have seen 50-60 fish (keepers, that's cod, ling and Pollock) with loads of throw back blegs and undersize codlings, with one day seeing a few less, but on the whole it has fished well for us.
I said on my last report id noticed some feed on my sounder and the mackerel wouldn't be long, we actually got our first one of the season the day after! they aren't here in numbers yet but I'm sure they wont be long now.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Some reasonably good fishing this last week on the Shy-Torque. Average catch for the boat has been around the 60 fish mark. Not outstanding, granted, but not too bad for the time of year. Fish being taken on the lures as well as the bait.
The tides are dropping nicely now and the water is also clearing so we are hoping the fishing is going to improve on last week.

Report on-board Mistress
With a drop in tides and near perfect wind conditions, I expected today to produce well for us on Mistress here at Whitby.
Unfortunately 2 lads had to cancel leaving only 3 lads available for the trip, I always sail with a minimum of 3 anyway so it was game on! it also gave me a chance to wet a line myself too!
Although it was never really hard and fast we moved around a few wrecks and finally finishing on a ground mark, taking a steady picking everywhere we went.
Shads took most of the fish as predicted due to the water clearing quickly now, with squid taking a few better fish too.
we finished up with around 50 keepers for the day between the 4 of us, the best 2 lads taking 14 each!
There are signs of increased activity of bait fish now on the sounder so the mackerel are only just round the corner for us!
I currently have space for:
Monday 22nd ( totally free - 3 minimum)
Tuesday 23rd (4 places available)
Wednesday 24th ( 6 hr trip - totally free - 6 minimum)
Thursday 25th (7 places available)
Friday 26th (totally free - 3 minimum)
