    Report on-board Mistress

    Monday 31st March

    Back Uptiding again today, on board we had a couple from Birmingham and and a regular lad from Leeds.

    We started off steady away, taking a dozen fish in the first couple of hours, We moved around looking for better things taking a steady few fish each spot we went to, but it was hard work, non the less we tried plenty of marks picking away.

    The three anglers finished up with around 25 Codlings for the day, reports of boats travelling distance had similar catch results too,

    The most consistent bait remains squid and black gulley worm, but crab cart took a few through the day too

    Pictured is Bea from Birmingham, with her fish, well done Bea!

  • 30/03/2014 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    30 Mar 2014 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Sunday 30th March
    We finally got away on Sunday, the day forecast was for the sea to die away all day which it did, but it was still a rolly polly sort of day with a ground swell hitting us side on all day.

    I had a bunch of regulars on from Leeds who were keen to get at the fish. We worked our socks off for the lads and it payed off for us, our first mark was chucking a few out, and I was sure another mark nearby would fish a bit better - and it did!

    At some points we had two or three rods in at a time, we moved as the tide eased and the fishing went dead until the flood tide came through, we moved again for the final time taking another 6 or 8 fish before home time.
    The final tally saw the lads with just under 40 Codlings for the day, which I thought was good given the conditions.
    All fish were between 2lb & 4lb

    Pictured is Robert with his best fish of the day,

    Report on-board Skylark

    Cracking days fishing today.

    with in the first 1/2 hour we had 4 fish aboard and Chris Darke boarded a 11lb 8oz Cod. then as the tide slowed down fishing slowed down so we made a move to another mark a bit further out where the tide was spot on. we managed to board a few more fish then the tide became to strong with 1lb sinkers struggling to hold the bottom so we moved further inshore. this seamed the best spot for the day and several more cod where taken including a 13lb 11oz cod caught by the skipper.

    we were fishing the Scarborough Boat Angling Clubs Nbby Llyod match and managed to get 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th, out of 17 anglers who fished the match.

    Well Done to all Who fished the match as the conditions were far from perfect.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We managed a couple of days out on the Saxon Lady yesterday and the day before whilst we are still out of the water.
    Lovely weather and some decent fishing too. The ground on the 9 mile and a couple of wrecks fishing pretty well. Most of the fish falling to the bait rigs.
    Almost ready with ours now. Hoping to run the engines up tomorrow and maybe re-launch on Monday.
    Regards
    Rich

  • 11/03/2014 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Report on-board Mistress

    What a day we had yesterday on the Wrecks, its the first day we have had a crack at them this year as we have been waiting for the conditions to fall into place.

    We steamed just over an hour to our first wreck, its a wreck ive been wanting to get on for a while, my choice payed off for us as we enjoyed some brilliant sport on shads and bait on the last of the ebb tide. with everybody taking plenty of fish

    The tide eased as we approached slack water and the fishing slowed down, we picked away steady then and carried on into the flood tide which wasnt pushing very hard. as it approached 2pm we started making tracks towards home, stopping at a couple of wrecks on the way taking more fish for the lads.

    we finished up with between 90 & 100 fish today for the lads, the best angler taking 23.

    Ash from York who fishes whitby regularly took the heaviest ling and cod of the day both fish touching double figures, well done mate the rest of the catch was made of plenty of cod in the 3lb to 6lb range

    Pictured is Ash with the Bets cod of the day
