Report on-board Queensferry
1st May 2016. by Neil Horsley, Our last trip was in challenging conditions and produced 9 codling up to 4lb bait fishing at anchor on the hard ground to the south. The water was murky with no interest shown in artificial baits . With the water now clearing we are hoping for some better sport hopefully akin to last spring. When we had on occasions 100 fish days. Tight lines . Regs Neil H..

The last few weeks we have been really struggling to get out with sea conditions and with poor conditions the fishing has been quite slow.
Finally we get our second 3 hour trip in of the year and yet again like the first some fantastic Pollock and a several codlings.
Joint heaviest fish was two Pollock just shy of 8lb both nearly identical.
Alot of size codling were returned to fight another day
We only had 5 anglers fishing who managed to catch 2 to 3 fish each View Boats Page

Report on-board Mistress
The last couple of days have seen us hit the wrecks on the small tides,
Its been good to see the fish start hitting the shads again as the water has begun to clear a bit.
We've been averaging 40 odd Cod & Ling each trip,
We caught a cracking Wolf fish on Monday to lucky angler, Jon from Beverley (see picture)

Mistress Weekly Round Up
Its been around a week since our last report, in one way its good that we’ve been getting to sea a bit more regularly, in another way its been quite hard work, working around the May algae bloom. With the algae being patchy its meant that no two days are the same, and as the tides have lifted its made fishing quite difficult, never the less we’ve put to sea and got our anglers a few fish to take home. As the tides drop this week the fishing should become more productive.
Early on in the week we experienced some cracking weather and managed to get out and do a bit of Wrecking for a few hours before the wind came on fresh in the afternoon.
The lads who had all fished before but not really done any wrecking managed to rake up a good few fish each for the morning, we managed a few up to 6lb in weight but most in the 2lb - 4lb region.
As the wind freshened on we ran inshore and dropped the anchor to finish the day raking a few more codlings together.
After the previous trip we were tied up a day, then back the day after, the tides had lifted and with only a couple of lads booked on, we stayed inshore Uptiding.
We admittedly had a slow start to the day, moving around raking a few fish here and there. Our 2nd move produced a real nice fresh run cod just over 6lb for one the lads, so it lifted everyones spirits a bit.
Another move saw us boat a few more fish to 4lb just before we lost the tide run, and I upped anchor for a move to one of my more consistent ledges.
The move was a good call, we started getting bites as soon as we’d shut off the engine, we experienced a steady couple of hours with everyone on board getting a few fish and bites.
My good mate Alex came along to help out and wet a line, and also bought his son Kai for a run off.
Kai got one around 4lb and was absolutely proud as punch!
I was fishing too, and despite a bit of a lean time for myself the last couple of trips I was actually managing to bag a few fish!
Ive been trying to run my baits stocks down a bit for next winter so I was using a lot of crab based baits, Ive still got a lot of Black lug worm too, The cart fished well, getting me quite a few bites, the Worm, Mussel and squid also fished well for everyone else on board.
The bites dried up a bit, so we upped anchor for our final move of the day.
It was a good move, no sooner had we settled in got our baits cast in, Kai’s rod started twitching with slow long pulls on his tip. . . . . You guessed it, best fish of the day! It was only ounces short of his PB, he was really buzzing!
Then on his next cast, still absolutely buzzing from his 7lber, the jammy little git only went and clicked a 5lber too!
The lads on board, including his dad were all proud as punch to see the young lad get a few nice fish, as it was Kai finished up with 6 nice cod to take home, and fished the best on the boat . . . . . again!
The tides in the following days took a pretty big jump, and the fishing tailed off a bit for the lads, we still manged fish for the boys though and always put 110% effort in finding our anglers a few fish.

Well, what a contrast from yesterday.
No great shakes at all yesterday but a lot worse today!!!
Ran back to grounds well offshore (30 mile) to find the algae had kicked in BIG time overnight out there too.
Scraped around for very little at all. Again, a lovely day weather wise with 200% effort put in as always but rubbish fishing!!
Roll on clear water again.
Honest reports as ever lads and no BULL!!

07.0516.
With the current Algae in the water linked with massive tides, the inshore fishing is very slow indeed at present, so we had a run to the deeper waters out on the 30 mile grounds today. The Algae was out there too but not in the same quantity.
The lads managed a respectable 40 or so fish with Codling to around 6lb, Ling to a shade under 12lb and a handful of Pollack.
All in all a nice day for the lads and when we broke through the fog at 20 miles, nice and warm for a change too!!
Cheers

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a week of crappy weather here at Whitby, we eventually sneaked a day yesterday. Another "window" to take advantage of. Sick of looking for windows in the weather now !!
Some decent Pollack fishing on the first wreck with numbers of fish approaching 25 to around 7 lbs in weight.
A few half decent Codling too with the best going just short of 6 1/2 lb.
The algae bloom is there or thereabouts at Whitby now so the fishing can sometimes be a little patchy at this time of the year. However, if the weather is fine enough, we can get you to the marks further afield to the deeper waters where the algae isn't quite as bad. These deeper water marks can very often produce when other more inshore marks are quieter.
Cheers for now and tight lines as ever !

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
28 Apr 2016 by Rich Cope
Report on-board Mistress
We have actually managed a day at sea this week, The water has been well and truly churned up with the last northerly, so I gave it a last attempt at the Uptiding figuring the last blow over the spring tides would have coloured the water up well offshore making the wrecking very hard work indeed.
The day started out very cold, with last nights frost still very visible on the boat windows. It didnt take long though for the sun to burn through it and turn the day warm for us, there was virtually no wind all day too making it a very pleasant day at sea.
I knew it might be hard work for the boys, but I knew we’d more than likely muster up a few fish for the lads.
As it turned out we managed fish at most of the marks we fished, we were just picking away at concentrated pockets of fish. Picking a few up then moving and picking, and we moved a good few times throughout the day finishing on the rock top.
Most of the fish were around 2lb but we had a few fish around the 4lb stamp and the best tipped the scales at a healthy 7lb.
