    22 Aug 2015 by Nick Halstead

    Report on-board Queensferry

    My second trip out with Neil and Paul was just as enjoyable as my first.
    Two weeks ago I caught a dozen Cod in the 6 to 8 pound range, On Saturday it was mainly Ling with a smattering of Codling.
    The boat is clean and spacious, not the fastest I have ever been on but rides the sea well and is very comfortable.
    Mackeral were hard to come by for bait but Neil did his level best to ensure we had enough fresh bait.

    I have to comment on his ability to not only put the boat on the fish but also to keep it there as long as the conditions allow, he is a very skilled boatman and understands anglers needs well.
    Some belting Ling were caught with the best (unfortunately not to my rod) weighing in at over 18 pounds.
    I found baited Hokkais were best during the slacker periods of the tide then switched to a small baited Shad fished on braid.
    Loads of takes and I honestly lost as many fish as I landed. A fab day.

    17 Aug 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    We've been hampered here in Whitby for a day and had to cut yesterday short due to weather, we managed to sneak in 6 hours yesterday but it was more than enough time to get the lads some fish!

    The reefs have been throwing out a lot of fish, we finished our last drift by 1115am yesterday morning and the 8 lads onboard had already taken well over 100 cod, the best angler catching over 30 himself, it really doesnt get much better!

    Everybody onboard returned as many as they took, just keeping the better fish.

    we have spaces this week remaining tomorrow (wednesday) and thursday,

    If youre interested in a trip with me on Mistress, give me a call on 07977 436903, e-mail: seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on my FB page, Mistress Sea Angling Charters,

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

    Aug 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    The fishing remains red hot up here in ‪Whitby‬ since our last report, Plenty of double figure fish landed by ‪‎Mistress‬ anglers, Nothing huge, Lings to 15lb and Cod to 13lb.

    The last week or so has seen us putting the new Maxsea system through its paces on new ground for us, and its been doing everything I thought it would! we're finding loads of new reef marks with us boating well over 100 cod each day we've been sailing, the lads have been keeping the better ones and returning a lot of fish too, always great to see lads doing their bit for conservation.

    We recently ran a short charity event up here one evening in Whitby for the RNLI, which all the Whitby Charter Skippers take part in, The night was a huge success, we raised just over £1100 for a very worthy cause. Mistress managed to win the event with the heaviest fish, A nice Ling of 14lb 2oz to local angler John Dixon - well done mate, The Fleece Pub hosted the event for us and did a sterling job providing the lads with refreshments and top class beverages during our presentation and charity raffle.

    If you would like a slice of the action, please call me on 07977 436903, drop me an e-mail at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on my Facebook page Mistress Sea Angling Charters.

    Report on-board Skylark

    3 hour inshore trip this afternoon.

    As the tides are now building we decided to try the inshore rough ground on the drift again. The fishing was steady all of the trip with all the anglers catching a good amount of fish. all the fish fell to feathers and hokkias some baited some un-baited with fresh mackerel.

    Overall the angers managed to catch a good 40 codlings and plenty of mackerel, and a few Coalfish and Pollock.

    Heaviest fish was a 9lb 4oz Cod, caught by Henry. (In Photo)

    12.08.2015.

    Some quite outstanding fishing for the boys today on the boat. A group of 6 lads taking the boat meant oodles of space for them and oodles of fish too!!

    A great days work by anyone's standards.

    Doubles and trebles boated for a good hour or so at the start of the day ensured everyone went home with a cracking bag of fish.

    A beaming Nigel is pictured!!

    They are :- Tuesday 15th Sept. Empty boat.

    Aug 2015 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    10.08.2015.
    A mate of mine from Batley in Leeds had the boat booked on the 10th Aug. Sadly Ahmed couldn't make the trip due to international work commitments and had to fly to Bahrain the night before the trip.

    The rest of the lads managed the trip and had a terrific day just 2.2 miles from the harbour with a cracking catch of over 100 fish!!

    A load of Mackerel at the bouy at the end of the day rounded it off to perfection.

    Ahmed has since called me to tell me how jealous he is and is in the process of booking several more trips before the end of the season.

    Aka who stood in for Ahmed is pictured with a lovely plump codling.
