    Time for an update, we've lost the last couple of days to bad weather but there's a glimmer on the horizon! We've managed a few days this week, but its been patchy with weather, as it generally is this time of year.

    The last few trips have fished ok to be honest, with our last trip fishing well, to the lads with the decent bait, with 3 or 4 of us on board getting upward of 8 fish apiece,, the others just a handful. they've all been in the 3-6lb range so nice eating fish size.

    Prior to the last blow the water was starting to clear, so fishing was average with us boating 30-40 fish for the day each day.

    Looking at the weather charts there's a bit of chance friday, and I've had a bit of interest for friday night too,
    The trip will be 6pm till midnight, and will cost £30 per person, I have 6 places available, and you will need a bit of experience in fishing at night with the correct equipment.

    The weekend is looking good too, so fingers crossed the weather gods play ball with us!

    Best baits - Cart has fished very consistently with us this year, decent blacks and unwashed squid has also produced, its always worth bringing some mussel for tipping off with as well, leave your fish baits at home folks, despite advice people still insist on bringing mackerel and blueys (wrong time of year).

    So have a look through the photos, and if you fancy either a night or day Uptiding trip with me here at Whitby on the Mistress, give me a shout on 07977 436903, or drop me a mail at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

  • 19/11/2016 Fishing Report by Nick Gough on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

    19 Nov 2016 by Nick Gough

    Report on-board Skylark

    We've not done a report for a while with the weather making it hard to get out and when we have been getting our fishing has been steady away.

    Today the lads had a great day for uptiding with every Mark producing a good amount of fish

    Overall about 70 size fish boated but several released back to fight another day.

    Best bag today was over 40lb and heaviest fish was just shy of 6lb

    The main bulk of the catch was Cod but a few dogfish, pouting and bull huss were also caught

    Best baits was squid, lug and cart

    Great set of lads on today with plenty of friendly banter as always

    1st day back Uptiding after the last northerly, we got among the fish boating 30-40 codlings for the few lads onboard, everyone thoroughly enjoying some decent winter sport. with some top fish in prime condition!

    So we had high hopes for the following day, but it was really hard work, despite covering lots of miles and plenty of shifts through the day.

    We have another big northerly system currently battering our stretch of coastline, so the fishing should be spot again once we get back out at them!

    There looks to be windows in the weather tomorrow and Friday by the looks of it, but it can and does change! we have spaces Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.

    If you fancy jumping aboard Mistress here at Whitby for trip give me a call on 07977 436903 or drop me an email at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

    1 Nov 2016 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Its been a rough month for us up here at Whitby with us losing three weeks of the month to bad weather, its also given me chance to get my annual holiday away and wind down a bit!

    Since getting back this last week the fishing has remained up and down as it has all year, we've started giving the Uptiding a serious shot and we've been rewarded with some lovely fresh run fish, numbers are still a bit down on last year, but the water is still quite warm and and we still need a good northerly to colour it up, which we currently have building!

    On this last set if big tides, we've fished at anchor through the tide and fished selected wrecks during slack breaking up the day for the our anglers.

    This last week has seen several cod into double figures the biggest topping out at 14lb yesterday. Uptiding has seen to cod to just under double figures, so with this bit of sea things are looking up for the forthcoming Uptiding Festival. (5th-20th November).

    If you're into your shore fishing, you'll love uptiding, Our weekends are now fully booked but we still have plenty of available midweek places.

    So, if you fancy a day in the festival or even just some winter fishing, whether you're a novice or experienced you get a warm welcome with me on the Mistress.
    Give me a call or text on 07977 436903 or email me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk
