    Report on-board Skylark

    Another great 6 hour trips offshore today with plenty of cod showing off ‪Scarborough‬.

    Shads had the advantage for the first half of the trip, then hokkies and large feathers took the advantage in the second half.

    Lots of strappy ling around with most been around 6 to 7lb.

    Heaviest fish today was a cod just over 10lb caught by Damien. And overall we boated 78 cod and several whiting, mackerel, pollock and ling.

    Weather was fantastic with a light breeze and we also got to see and hear the vulcan bomber display for the armed forces day on the south bay.

    Photo off the heaviest fish of the day just over 10lb.

    Report on-board Mistress

    The awesome Fishing continues here at ‎whitby‬ .
    The fishing today has been absolutely spot on again, we started out ‪wrecking‬ this morning with big baits for big fish, we got plenty of fish each drift, but not the size we were looking for!

    We moved about and then some of the lads ran out of bait! we moved onto some ground to try and find mackerel in numbers all the lads did was start bringing cod in three at time! so we stayed a while and smashed them with the shads before moving away in search of mackerel.

    We went all the way out to the 7 miles but had no drift, in the end we hit the 2nd slack water with pouting, coalies and a few odds and sods for bait! we moved inshore and suddenly found a few mackerel - at last!

    The lads carried on bait fishing and i got stuck in getting them some bait, and it did the trick, we took a daily 2nd spot with a Ling 11lb 5oz, the same lad also got a nice cod around 10lb too, we lost a good one just shy of the gaff, we saw it estimated it to be around 15 / 16lb!

    Its certainly the best show of mackerel we've had all year up till now, taking two thirds of a gorrilla tub.
    With a good forecast tomorrow and small tides we'll be hoping to better our day and see a few better fish as they seem to be poking their noses out at last.

    If you fancy a trip with us 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,

    Report on-board Skylark

    As the tides have eased off again we decided to have a go wreck fishing again.
    Photos from our 6 hour trip today.

    Fishing started from the first drift with double hook ups of cod and ling coming up from the start.
    After a few hours fishing it slowed down and picked up again later on in the trip.
    Many different species caught today with cod, Pollock, ling, whiting, red and gray gurnards, whiting, mackerel and pouting.
    Fantastic weather and some fantastic fishing here at ‪Scarborough‬ at the moment.
    If you would like a trip with us we have some spaces still available please call Nick on 07939025881, or message us on our website www.skylarkfishing.co.uk or on out Facebook page.

    Report on-board Mistress

    First day back at sea, after the latest blow here at ‪whitby‬ . We worked a few ‪wrecks‬ today as the tides are slack.

    From the off the rods were pulled over as the cod smashed the ‪#‎shads‬ . As the drift slowed we went on to baits to try and coax a croc out, but we only managed a couple between 9lb & 10lb.

    We finished on a high note on a wreck, for the last half hour, the cod were still going crazy for shads with every rod every drift getting fish.

    Great fishing, if you fancy a trip in our grand summer festival, with a cracking £5k to be won, 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

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The fishing remains very good at the moment lads. Some good ground fishing to be had and also some good sport on the wrecks.

    We have started our sharking missions now too. Sadly none boated as yet, but we have had a couple of "Runs" We also had one swimming around the boat on the last trip so signs are good. If you fancy a go for them give me a ring to arrange a trip.

    The Summer competition started here at Whitby on Saturday just gone. Massive cash prizes on offer again this year with the top prize standing at £5000.00!! Last year the boys on the Shy-Torque took 2nd, 3rd and 4th heaviest fish overall, plus the heaviest cod caught too at over 20lbs! Stacks of daily prizes won too.

    We have a couple of days left with room in this years comp.

    They are :- Wed 1st July. Room for 5.

    Fri 3rd July. Room for 1.

    Mon 6th July. Room for 5.

    Come and join us for a slice of the action!

    Tight lines as ever

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

    Jun 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    We've had a good week here at ‪whitby‬ on the ‪Mistress‬ when we could get out between the weather systems, cant believe its June and we're losing as many days as we are for the time of year!

    We've seen a few double figure this week, and a few just shy of doubles too, so the bigger ones are starting to poke their noses out!

    Our best day this week saw the lads boat well over 200 cod in under 8 hours! absolutely phenomenal fishing, The lads again kept what they wanted and threw lots and lots of fish back, the best lad had 35 cod himself, and a few other lads also boated over 30 cod apiece.

    The best Cod went to Tom Toase from Helmsley and it went 11lb 5oz on the boat scales, the best Ling was 10lb 5oz to Rob Bailey from Rotherham,

    The Ling got Rob on the leaderboard in our Current WCSA summer festival, he got a daily 2nd and its currently 2nd heaviest fish of the comp,
    The festival runs for 3 weeks 20th June - 12th July, and there is a whopping £5000 up for grabs first prize, plus many other cash prizes over the event,

    If you fancy your chances there are still a few more places left on the boat, give me a call on 07977 436903,
