Report on-board Alliance
Wednesday was another GREAT day fishing aboard Alliance, Whitby's latest addition to the Charter fleet . From stepping aboard at the start of the day the Banter was free flowing just as much as the free tea and coffee supplied by Skipper Shaun Elwick. The Ex-lifeboatman and Whitby local has over 35 years experience fishing out of Whitby and that showed from the way he put us onto the fish from the first drop. When the tide started running again we moved onto some ground on the 5 mile mark and true to his word Shaun found the fish again. with baited hookki's doing the damage Even with the difficult fishing conditions of late due to the Algae bloom being in full swing we still managed several species of fish including Cod to 8 lb, Ling to 6lb, Pollack, Pouting and Whiting, No Mackerel showing as yet though.
Shaun supplied 2 of the lads with the boats NEW top quality hire tackle Sonic rods and Shimano TLD reels these two first time anglers (Sorry lads I can't remember your names) had a great time and booked to come back next month as they have now caught the fishing bug.

Photo's from today's 6 hour morning trip
Sea Conditions were not ideal with a good amount of lift in places, so we took shelter from the northerly winds and targeted Thornback rays as the tide eased we braved the swells to have a last hour having a go for Cod.
Overall the lads had a great day which turned out to be quite a species hunt as they managed to catch 25 thornback rays, a Spotted Ray, 2 Brill, a Lessor Spotted Dogfish, several dabs and a good few codling.
heaviest Fish was a 6lb 8oz Thornback Ray
All but 5 of the largest rays were returned to fight another day as well as the brill, and Dogfish as the anglers wanted to try a skate wing. View Boats Page

Report on-board TROT- ON
Friday saw us joined by a party of novice anglers from the Worksop/Mansfield area. The boys were VERY impressed with the NEW Sonic hire rods coupled with the NEW Shimano and Penn reels for them to use. After a quick instruction in the use of multiplier reels the lads were keen to get fishing.
After a steam out to the first wreck for slack water the fish soon started to arrive aboard. A mixture of codling, Strap Ling and Whiting taken on bait and baited hookki's.
After slack water we had a move to some ground on the 9 mile where we had Codling, Pollack, Whiting and Pouting.
With the change of tide we were back on the wrecks where the Big lad caught the best fish of the day a nice cod of about 7lb. Now the Algae bloom is clearing by the day the fishing is set to improve vastly and the Shads will be coming into play. The Bigger Ling are also starting to show their heads.
With the W.C.S.A festival starting on the 25/6/2016 Will Super Skipper Paul Eddon and Trot On make it 4 wins in a row???? View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
27.05.16.
A vast improvement for today's mixed group of lads.
Most of the lads averaging around 6 - 8 fish each and all being caught on the shads and sidewinder lures. A few of the lads were baiting their lures with good results.
Simon England from Barnsley, South Yorks, enjoying a nice catch of 12 fish. A mixed bag of Codling and Ling.
Top bag for the day was Steve Mason from Chesterfield with 15 fish. Again, a mixed bag of Codling and Ling.
Nothing of any great size, but with the general Codling stamp being around the 4 - 5 lb mark and the ling running to around the 7 lb mark, a very enjoyable days work indeed. All today's fish coming from inside 6 miles too which is a very good sign.
It's looking like the dreaded algae is finally abating lads, so lets hope thing continue to improve for the season from here-on-in.
Cheers and tight lines as ever!!

Today was a belting day at sea flat calm blue sky and all the lads were well up for it again the Algie bloom has made the fishing hard for the lads but as always on Sea -otter 2 you get 150% effort from myself the lads worked there butts off and it was regular Steven Gillespie who won the day with this very nice cod the lads massed around the 40 cod mark for there sheer hard work in the Algie coloured water but when the water clears which should be any day now the fishing will explode shads will be on fire on the cod .
Here is Steve with his cod . View Boats Page

Not much to report of late here at Whitby.
The algae is still plaguing us and is as bad as it's been for ages. Hopefully reaching its peak now with some clearer water just around the corner. One Mackerel caught yesterday !! First of the year here at Whitby to my knowledge.
Today we had half a dozen lads on board and their total catch for the day was 16 Cod, 2 Pollack and a few Whiting.
A lovely calm and partially sunny day however, made up for the rather slow fishing. The lads were all pleased with the combined efforts though and enjoyed their day.
Tight lines
