Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The Spring angling competition ended here in Whitby last Sunday 17th April.
The lads and lasses who fished aboard the Shy-Torque made a valiant and sterling effort each day we were off to try and tempt the big one!!
Sadly, the big one didn't poke it's nose out for them this time, but with the most daily prizes won across the competition falling to the Shy-Torque anglers and second overall heaviest fish too, I reckon we all did a pretty good job !!
May I thank all the anglers who fished with us aboard the boat in the competition and look forward to seeing you all again soon. The Summer competition will be on top of us soon!! Still some dates available.

Approaching the end of the Spring competition here at Whitby now guys.
We decided that a run off shore again today was in order, to try for the big one.
Nothing to challenge the leading fish, but Bill Wildey from Edinburgh took yet another 1st daily prize for the Shy-Torque crew with a nice Cod of (I think) 9 lb 9 oz.
Bill is pictured.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A cracking forecast today allowed us to try some more distant offshore wrecks in search of the Spring festival winner.
A mixed group of regulars along with newcomers to the boat resulted in a reasonable show of fish for the lads today.
Starting on a wreck 17 miles North of the harbour and finishing on one some 27 miles from shore, the lads ended up with around 60 fish between them. Not a brilliant catch numbers wise, but some good quality fish, with the best fish falling to regular Shy-Torque angler Guy Wrightson who took 1st daily again. Guy lead the comp at the start with a nice Ling of just over 12 lbs.
His Pollack today of 9 lbs winning the £50.00 daily 1st prize.
His mate Craig Simmonds taking 3rd daily prize.
Guy is pictured.
Cheers and tight lines

Report on-board TROT- ON
A difficult weekends fishing this week. With MASSIVE tides and a mixture of weather we had several novice anglers on board this weekend, Some like John from leeds who was a member of a stag party whose ages ranged from 20-70. John had never caught a fish before but with a little tuition on the tackle managed to catch his first ever fish which made him a very happy chappie. The lads enjoyed themselves and re-booked to go with Whitby's Premier Charter Boat "Trot On" again.
Friday saw us winning the WCSA daily prize in the W.C.S.A. spring festival with a ling of 6lb+ caught by Whitby local P. Franklin
Trot On is at time of posting this report still leading the festival with a 16lb+ cod that could land the winner £1000 winnings This was Trot On's 3rd day at sea in this years spring festival and the 3rd daily win.
Oskar from Castleford was also aboard with us on Friday.
He caught his first ever fish, A Pouting which was returned Showing Anglers of all abilities, Catch fish when aboard with Paul Eddon at the helm.
Trot on and her sister boat Alliance are running a monthly heaviest fish award with the winner getting a free trip so you have a chance of 2 trips for the price of 1 View Boats Page

To be perfectly truthful, the fishing here at Whitby over the last week or so hasn't been particularly startling. This has been mainly down to the huge tides we have just had and a slight discolouration in the water.
Neil Avery and his team joined the boat today and had a slow day all in all. Some 20 odd fish for the boat that's all.
The lads weren't disappointed though as, as always, 150% effort was put in on the day by all the lads and crew.
Colin Middleton took the best fish of the day with a cod of 6 lb 10 oz.
Cheers and tight lines as ever
