Two days on the trot! uptiding again today. with a lift in the tides i was expecting a bit faster action today.
it took a couple of moves before we located a few then it was steady away again for the rest of the day,
I found with moving regularly we would get a pocket of fish then move to the next spot, we amassed around 40 codlings again today.
we saw a few better fish today though with a few around the 6lb mark. still plenty of fish int he 2-3lb range keeping the rods rattling!
the best consistent bait remains to be a black gulley worm tipped with squid. Crab cart fished helped bag a few bonus fish today though.
Pictured is mark with one of his better fish

Uptiding today. Plenty of colour in the water, which is always a good sign!
The fishing was fairly steady today, we had 4 on board as a couple of others failed to show up again.
Between the 5 of us though we managed a steady 40 codlings. No big ones today unfortunately the majority being 2-3lb in weight we had a handful pushing 5lb.
Still the lads got plenty of action with 2 or 3 lads getting over 10 fish apiece.
Pictured is Mistress and Whitby regular Jack Vero with one of his better fish, Jack managed 11 cod for the day

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The boat is almost ready for the start of the New Year now. Basically we are just waiting for the new engines to arrive and we are just about there. A total re-fit is definately something I wouldn't want to do each year !!!
As soon as we are back in the water and the sea trials have been completed I will adjust the availability calendar accordingly. It might just be that we are ready sooner rather than later ( here's hoping!! ) So keep an eye on the calendar if your thinking about an early season trip. We will sail with a minimum of 4 anglers.
May I take this opportunity to thank all those who sailed with us during 2013 ( both old and new ) and hope we see you all again during the 2014 season.
Happy Xmas to one and all and lets hope we all have a prosperous 2014.
Cheers

Report on-board Mistress
What a belting day we had today.
I had two lads taking the boat from Bradford and boy were they rewarded, its the 1st day back to sea following the last Northerly, plenty of colour in the water I noticed on the way out.
The day got away quite slowly until the tide turned then it just went bananas all afternoon.
I fished too seeing as we had a good bit of space available, between the 3 of us we took between 40 and 50 Cod.
The Best angler took 22 cod, taking home over 22lb of prime fillet.
The most surprising thing was the stamp of the fish coming aboard we saw many fish today between 6lb and 10lb, The best cod took the boat scales round to 10lb 4oz
The best bait by far was half a black lug tipped off with a strip of squid.
Pictured are Nigel and David from Bradford with a few fish from their catch, well done men! View Boats Page
