Another good day uptiding today.
The boat took between 40 & 50 Codlings to keep, with a few undersize throw backs. Local angler Damien Townsend fished today getting the biggest fish and bag weight on the boat, his fish was tad under 7lb and bag weight just under 22lb.
He took daily 2nd biggest fish, and daily biggest bag netting himself £50 in prize money from our Uptiding Festival.
We also took a very bright Ballan Wrasse today, it only weighed 2lb, but its nice to see different species showing up every now and then. It went back to fight another day!
Pictured is Jason from York with his Ballan Wrasse
The fishing will continue to be good as long as we can get to sea, and we will be fishing long after the Uptide competition comes to an end. I will only need a minimum of three anglers to sail, so if youre interested in a trip please drop me a line

Hi lads,
Just a quick note to let you know that I had confirmation today that I could use a mates boat for any work we get from now till our boat is ready in the new year.
I will be focusing primarily on ours for a week or so, getting things prepped for the first of the 2 new engines arriving. After that we can have a crack back out there. If you fancy a run off please feel free to give me a ring. We will as always need a minimum of 4 anglers to sail.
Cheers

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The boat was lifted out of the water this morning for a re-fit for 2014.
Amongst many of the jobs we have to do, we are fitting two new propulsion units for the start of next season.
Hopefully we will be back up and running before the end of January next year.
If anyone wants to have a trip whilst we are working on the Shy-Torque I'm hoping to have the use of another boat whilst we are high and dry, so please keep in touch and we'll try and get you all some cod for over the Xmas period!! I will gladly take a couple of days off to get you out there. It will be a nice break from the spanners!!
Just before we finished for the year we managed to get away on Friday and Saturday last week.
A mixed group on both days saw some steady fishing out on the 9 mile ground. Best angler taking a dozen or so fish away each day. The boat taking around 60 - 70 fish both days.
Graham Stansfield from Leeds is pictured.
Cheers for now

Report on-board Mistress
The Uptiding has been nothing less than exceptional recently. We have been catching plenty as well as some bigger ones too. These last 4 days from the 6th to the 9th we have had a massive amount of fish.
Best day was Thursday with the lads amassing just over 90 fish for the day, yesterday (9th) the lads managed a very respectable 65 cod for the day.
We didnt see as many fish Friday, but the bigger ones were there, between the 3 of us fishing we managed just over 30 cod, the best one just under double figures, My uncle sailed with us and was ecstatic with HIS biggest cod and best bag of fish to date, taking a daily 2nd in the comp as well as the biggest bag!
Dave from Huddersfield taking the daily first spot with a cracker over 9lb.
We have another day or two off for bad weather again fingers crossed for the good sport to continue.

We went Uptiding today with the regular bunch of lads (and Jane!) from west yorkshire police.
It was the first day or our Uptiding Festival here at Whitby, the conditions were far from perfect making it tricky day getting on our marks.
Everyone had an enjoyable day with us taking in excess of 40 Cod. Nothing big to report though unfortunately, we had several upto 4lb in weight, the majority weighing between 2lb and 4lb
Well done guys View Boats Page

Friday 1st November - 4 hour trip
I had a group of mates visiting Whitby and they wanted a shorter trip for the afternoon sorting out.
We got a few more booked on too.
first couple of spots were a bit slow so we moved until we came across a few fish, we managed around 20 Cod for the trip, which I didnt think was too bad.
One of our regular lads Mick Thurlow bought his grandson Zak along, who caught his 1st Cod, Mick has since said he was over the moon with his first Cod. The first on many mate, well done

Even though we got some good fish yesterday, the fishing was a bit slow for my liking, with this in mind I fished a different area today. and it payed dividends for us!
The fishing was never hectic but we got fish everywhere we stopped, the best lad, Mistress regular Ceiren from Cumbria took 16 Cod himself upto 7lb, Next best bag went to Matt from York who also fishes Whitby very regularly taking 10 or 11 himself, Ceirens mate Liam, who took a daily prize in the main summer festival also took 8 Himself. I think the daily tally was easily between 50 and 60 Cod for the lads today
Everyone had fish to take home.
Best baits again was squid and worm, also tipped with a bit mussel.
