  • 13/07/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    13 Jul 2015 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The cod fishing here at Whitby continues to be great.

    The group on board today were a mixed lot coming from all directions on the compass!

    We came across some really good ground fishing yesterday on the 9 mile and returned there again today to find it was fishing even better. The stamp of cod was much better too with fish nudging just over 14lbs.

    We tried for 3 weeks in the Summer comp to get fish like this without success this year and the very day after it's over...................... HA!!!!! Ah well, that's the great thing about the game. You never know.

    I would just like to congratulate my life long mate of 40 years, Paul Eddon, Skipper on the Whitby charter boat Trot-On, on his great win in this years Summer comp. Fantastic result mate. WELL DONE to you and Mick Leonard who caught the cracking winning fish. A superb Ling of 24lbs 2oz. Mick wins £5000.00 in cash for his fish!!! I'm sure Paul will be getting a beer or 2 out of it!!!

    Todays biggest fish on the Shy-Torque is pictured with its captor John Rowley from Rotherham. A lovely cod of 14lbs 1oz.

    Come and grab some great sport whilst it's here!!

    Tight lines as ever

    Report on-board TROT- ON

    Retired Ex Skipper Mick Leonard decided to fish aboard Whitby's top charter boat Trot On on Friday and took 1st place in the 2015 W.C.S.A summer festival aboard TROT ON with a cracking ling of 24lb 2 oz. The fish fell to a simple 1 hook rig baited with a full squid. The cod fishing is top drawer at the moment with loads of coddling about and also some good ling to be caught.

    9 Jul 2015 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Some cracking days and some not so cracking days of late!!

    The not so cracking days fortunately have been few and far between as the fishing on the Shy-Torque continues to be generally very good.

    The Summer competition comes to a close this coming weekend so the boys who are booked will be going at it big time to try and crack the current leading fish.

    The best day for us this last week or so was last Friday where the lads took well in excess of 130 fish between themselves. The day started out superbly with our first stop of the day lasting all morning. Cod to just over 8lb were recorded and ling to just over the 9lb mark. Not big enough to contend for the lead in the comp but some great sport never the less.

    David Noakes was among the split team and he managed a very credible 25 fish himself at the end of the day. Doesn't really get a lot better to be fair!!

    David is pictured with his mornings catch. Another dozen or so fell to his rod in the afternoon too!!

    Report on-board Skylark

    June has been a fantastic month for us with many good size Cod about.

    The heaviest cod this month was caught by Henry weighing 11 1/2 Lb. and the second heaviest was caught by Damien weighing 10lb 2oz. both fish were taken offshore on the wrecks.

    this month we have also seen a few more mackerel showing but not in great numbers and still quite thin. We have also had several horse mackerel (Scads) aboard.

    on the wrecks we have had several ling caught but they have only been relatively small around the 5-8lb area. hopefully next month we see a few bigger fish turn up.

    both the inshore fishing and the offshore fishing have been fantastic this month.

    If you would like a fishing trip from 3 to 10 hours in July please drop us a message via our website, www.skylarkfishing.co.uk, or a call on 07939 025881.

    we are booking up fast this month so please book early to avoid disappointment.

  • 06/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Jun 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    The Fishing has been a bit up and down since our last report, most days we've managed good bags of fish for our crews,

    Saturday we got off to slow start, but we always pick and move trying to find us a cod nest, one mark produced quite well for us in the end, and the rest of the places chucking just a few out we raked up around 60 fish for our anglers, plus a daily winner in the festival and a place in the ladies section.

    Sunday though was very testing with the poor conditions we had wind wise, the lads only raking up around 25 for the boat, saying that though, most were pretty good stamp.

    The day after we went to sea, feeling a bit beaten by the previous days results and had a red letter day! the job certainly keeps you on your toes and it goes to show, two days are never the same!
    we managed to boat around 130 cod, ling and pollock.

    Yesterday, 30th June, we knew the weather would be coming away steady through the day, with that in mind i pushed tide knowing the weather would be behind us on the way home, again a good day for us, we worked wrecks all day and tbh had a good bit of drift to start, but maybe 6 or 7 times had the whole boat into fish at the same time,

    one lad at the back trying for mackerel and small fish for fresh bait pullled in three cod at a time on quite a few drifts, once the tide eased we hit the scrap, one of our regulars lost a good fish on a pouting flapper - but thats fishing!

    I never counted numbers of fish but most of the lads had over 10 fish a piece, some had around 15.

    if you fancy a trip with me on ‪Mistress‬ here at ‪Whitby‬, 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,
