    Report on-board Skylark

    We had the Same unsettled weather today as we had yesterday, so we decided to cancel all the 3 hour trips we had planned as we couldn't reach a spot for sheltered fishing in 3 hours. instead we decided to run a 6 hour trip running through the weather to reach sheltered waters we fished yesterday.

    Again we had a great day catching the thornbacks only 3 anglers fishing we had 20 landed and several lost.
    the heaviest was 101/2lb.

    Report on-board Skylark

    We had a fantastic start to the day, nice settled weather.

    we decided to target cod and Pollock, but the cod that were been caught were only a couple of pound where the Pollock were all over 5lb.

    so we quickly changed tactics to targeting Pollock with lures. in a few hours we had a good amount of Pollock about 30 in total then the weather deteriorated and the area we were fishing became unfishable so we decided to have a go on the sand and shale hiding from the winds.

    this was defiantly the right move as we had been drifting 10 minutes and suddenly started to get good bends in the rods, fist fish wasn't a massive thorn back ray just about 41/2 lb. great fun on the light gear we were using to target the Pollock.

    by the end of the trip we had 11 Thornback rays landed then we had the uncomfortable hour steam back over the grounds we couldn't fish due to the strong Northerly wind.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Another Summer festival done and dusted for another year and what a scoop the lads had aboard the Shy-Torque this year!!

    The first good fish aboard the boat and one which led the way in the comp for the first week or so was a beautiful cod of 20lb 3oz caught by regular angler on the boat, David Laine from Richmond.

    Paul Siddle from Patrington nr Hull was the captor of the next good cod on the boat. His hitting the scales at 19lb 1oz. A personal best for Paul !! Well done mate.

    Of course, John Wilcock, regular on the boat and (winner of more big money comps here at Whitby than anyone else), had to make his mark on the leader board. John was fishing over a period of 9 days with some close mates of mine, when, on his last day, hooked a cracking ling at 20lb 5oz. . When we boated the fish we were sure it was going to take the lead in the comp. Sadly upon weigh-in at tea time it was a mere 1lb off the leading fish. It did look a damn sight bigger than the leading fish though and had it been full of food instead of air, would surely have taken the top prize!!

    A cracking competition again this year with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th overall top prizes falling to these 3 lads on the Shy-Torque.

    John Wilcock's ling taking 2nd place overall winning £1000.00
    David Laine'scod taking 3rd place overall winning £500.00 plus another £500.00 for heaviest cod caught in the comp.
    Paul Siddle's cod taking 4th place overall winning £250.00

    The boat took a good number of daily prizes too on top of these bigger fish.

    The big cod and ling are here for you on the Shy-Torque!!

    I would like to say a massive thankyou again to all who sailed with us in this years event and hope to see you all again in the not too distant future.

    Pictured is 2nd place winner John Wilcock from Bradford.

    Report on-board Skylark

    What an eventful Day
    3 hour wreck fishing trips

    Morning trip 10 am till 1pm

    had the lads from the S.S.A Group
    we started well with Andy Forshaw hooking into the first cod of the day on his first drop, fishing started well the lads getting a nice size fish every drift. then Andy Harrison managed to get a nice brace of cod with both fish over 5lb. the lads managed to catch a good amount of fish in a short space of time.

    also while fishing we had two eurofighters training with a helicopter firing flairs at one an other while fishing great to watch but very worrying when it first kicked of just behind the boat.

    Afternoon trip

    had 3 families aboard, and from the first drift we managed to bag several cod and ling. all between 3 and 5 1/2 lb.

    Evening Trip

    we had a couple who hired the boat for a coastal cruise and wildlife spotting evening.

    we ventured slowly to Gristhorpe to watch the seal bathing in the sun then ventured towards filey were we saw many types of birds.

    we managed to spot Gannets
    Kittiwakes, Cormorants, Razorbills, Puffins, Northen Divers, and the usual Heron gulls. aswell as several gray seals.

    Cracking weather to be out in and great fishing to.

    (Photo showing the S.S.A lads, a cracking bunch of lads which were a pleasure to fish with)

    10 hour Wrecking Trip Yesterday.

    only 5 lads booked on so i decided to have a go myself,

    Fishing started of great with some nice size Cod taking the shads, then after an hour the wind and tide increased and fishing slowed down and became hard work.

    then after a couple of hours the fishing picked up a bit with a few more cod, ling and some massive whiting.

    from the forecast the day before we were all prepared for a massive downpour which never came. and we had sunshine most of the day and a calm sea.
