Managed to sneak a day in on Saturday between the bad weather days we have been getting here at whitby recently.
We went uptiding again as its has been fishing well, the tides wee small but the last bit of sea we had left plenty of colour so hopes wrre running high.
we had a slow start but persevered and moved a few times finding a few fish each spot.
The biggest fish was a 17lb Ling today which fell to local lad Niki on his 2nd ever boat trip,
we also had cod upto 9lb 12oz, and a good few fish in the 6lb bracket too.
best bait was worm and squid, but cart took a few too.
Pictured is Niki with his Ling - well done on your new PB mate!

After my week away in tenerife its back into action yesterday was first day back at sea hopes were high after my last trip before my holiday the fishing was excellent and with the water being very coloured all the signs were there was good days sport for the lads.
No sooner were lines down and the rods were into fish some nice cod coming aboard the lads finished with around 60 cod for day with only 5 onboard not a bad day the best went between 8- 9lb and lot around 5-6lb so not a bad stamp the tids are on there way up this coming week so the action should increase and its that time of year when a 20lb plus cod could stick its nose out .

only a few lads booked on today, so uptiding was again the order of the day.
It was a slow start to the day with us only taking a few fish in the morning despite moving around 4 or 5 marks.
we had a couple of fish stolen by a seal that was pestering us!
as we got a change in tide and another move we finally shook the seal and started getting a lot more bites and a few more fish boated.
with what turned out to be the final move of the day we hit a mad hour and everyone boated several cod to finish the day on a high note!
No big ones today all fish were between 2lb and 4lb. we finished up with a rod average of 7 cod per man, not a brilliant day but everyone left happy
best bait again was black gully worm tipped with squid View Boats Page

Even given the small tides here at Whitby this weekend, we still produced the good for our anglers here on Mistress.
On saturday we had Preston Sea Angling Club with us, it was a slow start due to the tide taking its time getting going, but once it did with a few moves we found some steady sport. losing a few to a stealthy seal we never saw!
Nothing massive landed, the biggest went around 7lb 8oz for Nigel.
In total we took 30 codlings for the day. plus plenty of pouting and whiting.
the best bait was worm and squid, this combo has by far been the most consistent this winter!
Monday we sailed again with only 4 lads onboard booked in at last minute,
We headed the other direction and caught the last of the ebb tide, getting straight into the fish.
we lost one to a seal that must have been sat under the boat! the lad with the net got a bit of a fright!
Again steady fishing produced over 30 cod for the lads, the best angler taking 14 cod.
We got a surprise Doggy, we dont get many off our shores so always welcome. pleanty fo pouting and whitings too.
best bait again worm and squid.
Pictured is Matt Breen from York with a nice brace of Cod caught on Monday, well done mate, we can always count on you to whistle a few out! View Boats Page

I got a phone call late the other night asking if i was fishing the next morning, i had no plans so said id take the lads from Hull.
It started out quite slow, with is taking around 10 fish on the last of the flood, but with the tides being smaller than usual i had a different plan today to fish a few spots i hadnt visited for a while.
we had to wait till mid morning till the tide came right for us.
A short move and a bit of jiggery pokery with the anchor saw a flurry of better fish aboard for us. including a belter for young Alex taking the scales to just under double figures a nice 9lb 12oz Cod!
as the tide changed in this spot we moved again taking a flurry of nice fish, the stamp of fish was certainly a lot better than of late with many fish between 4lb and 6lb.
not as many fish as we have been catching lately but we finished up with 30 odd Cod for the day, the best angler taking 15.

We managed another day at sea today as another gap in the appeared!
only 3 lads booked on and with tides being as the are uptiding was the order of the day again.
the first stop produced only one fish and a few half hearted bites,
so a quick move saw us straight into fish which came aboard at fairly steady rate the whole of the ebb tide.
as slackwater passed and the boat started swinging we re-positioned and as the tide got away the rods started bouncing again.
no monsters again today, the biggest fell to Robert from Doncaster, taking the scales round to over 6lb.
everybody caught plenty of fish, the boat final tally was between 65 and 70 codlings between the 4 of us, the best angler of the day took 30 codlings himself, fishing doesnt get much better than this!
best bait by far was black gully worm tipped with squid.

4 Hour Uptiding Trip
We put together a 4 hour trip for Holiday maker Mark from Leeds, as soon as I advertised it, the trip filled in literally a day! sailing 9am till 1pm, obviously suits a few people!
It was a very successful 4 hours, with everyone catching a few fish, loads and loads of missed bites due to everyones over eagerness to get their first fish of 2014!
The best lad as it turned out was Mark from Leeds taking 4 cod home. the best cod was around 5 and 1/2lb which fell to Joe from Hull, Bucko off the forum also landed a nice cod around 4lb in weight.
the boat total for the trip was 20 codlings, all between 2lb and 5 1/2lb. It was a thoroughly enjoyable short session on the water with some cracking folks.
