    Our Heaviest Fish of the Month Competition has ended today

    and the Winner is...
    Steve Binnington who caught a Ling Weighing 18lb 1oz
    he caught the fish on a 5 hour wrecking trip a few weeks back.

    Well done Steve and to all the customers who came very close, we have seen some fantastic fish this month with several fish around 15lb, and loads over 10lb.

    Hopefully we will continue seeing these big fish next month too as the Angling Festival is only a few weeks away now.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The fishing remains very steady here at Whitby. Over the last week or so we have certainly had more good days than bad. A steady picking of codling wherever we've worked to be honest. The "codling" seems to be the main stamp overall this year. Usual size being 2 -5lb. One or two more decent fish thrown in amongst them.

    Last Monday saw the weather take yet another turn for the worse and is currently out of the North with some strength behind it at times. Just hoping it doesn't do any damage before the September comp gets under way this coming Saturday (5th Sept) We have just 1 day left in the comp now (Tuesday 15th) Individuals are very welcome to join us.

    The competition offers anglers cash prizes up to £1000.00 !!

    This last week has seen some very happy anglers aboard the boat. Best Cod fell to regular angler on the boat Simon England at a shade over 13lbs.

    A very good Haddock of 4lb 4oz fell to a newcomer to the boat. Gedirius from Leeds.

    Simon is pictured.

    Tight lines

  • 31/08/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    31 Aug 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Finally I've found a bit of time to report on our last week or so here at ‪Whitby‬ .

    Id like to say the ‪#‎Mistress‬ anglers filled the boat everyday, but I can't, BUT the fishing has remained steady / good, I found yet another couple of new ridges with my Maxsea as the tides started picking up and they produced well for us over a couple of days, nothing huge most fish in the 2lb-4lb range with the odd 6lber chucked in, again all on shads.

    The wrecking produced good catches on the small tides with a better stamp of fish boated, all happy lads one crew caught more than enough and left a bit of fish behind saying they had more than they wanted, so I passed a few fillets round the local to few mates, who were appreciative.

    Our last day of the week we saw a very small window in the forecast, as the sea came away northerly, I knew we'd have the weather behind us on the way home, I took a gamble and had a run offshore to a well known wreck, it payed off for us with us having one of the best days of the year, Pollock to just under 9lb and lots and lots of prime Whitby cod,

    We managed a couple of hours wrecking on our chosen mark before the sea came away but it was more then enough time to satisfy the lads! the fishing was absolutely frantic! most fish in the 4lb-6lb range with a good few around the 8lb mark. all on shads and light gear.

    We are now closing in our Autumn festival which starts on the 5th September for 2 weeks, £1000 up for grabs as a top prize plus daily prizes for heaviest three fish weighed, we got the 2nd heaviest fish last year and won the event the year before on Mistress.

    If you'd like a run off with us give me a call on 07977 436903, e-mail me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on FB page Mistress Sea Angling Charters.

  • 30/08/2015 Fishing Report by Carl Farrar on TROT- ON (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    30 Aug 2015 by Carl Farrar

    Report on-board TROT- ON

    England boat fishing team manager Neil Bryant was aboard today with some of his clients trying out the range of long telescopic boat rods Neil designed, And WHAT a day they had, After a 2 hour steam to Paul Eddon's chosen wreck we were into the fish from the drop. All 7 rods were bent into fish. All cod between the 4lb and 8lb bracket. This continued with every drift. We filled 3x8st boxes in 90 mins. Neil decided his chaps had enough to take home and all other fish were to be returned. we must have caught at least another 100+ fish between 6 anglers in the remaining time we had on the wreck. After lunch Neil wanted to try for Pollack fishing jelly worms, Unfortunately most of the time we could not get through the cod but we did have some pollack to about 4lb . One of the lads Kev brought a 4ft Ice fishing rod that was super fun especially when I put a trace of hokki's on and had a treble hook up of cod all around the 5lb mark Neil had a go with the little rod and this proved to be a laugh and a half. If you fancy a trip out of Whitby then Trot On is the boat to get
