Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Last Saturday saw the fleet at Whitby tied up yet again for bad weather, however we did manage to sail on a flat calmer on the Sunday.
Ian Nolleth from Glossopdale SAC and his team joined the boat on their annual trip to the North East on Sunday.
We started out working the ground on the 9 mile and picked steadily for the first 2 or 3 hours. The water appearing to be completely rid of the algea at last. How wrong could I be!! At 12.30 p.m the water started to green up yet again and completely put the mockers on the job. Sadly we could only manage another half dozen fish after lunch but the lads were happy enough with their mornings efforts. After a count up of 38 cod, 2 ling and a handful of pouting we decided to make for home at 3.30. Ben winning the personal count with 8 cod, 3 whiting and a couple of pouting. A very enjoyable day. Cheers lads.
Darryl winning the sweep on the boat with a cod of 7lb 4oz.

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Mistress
Another window in the weather yesterday saw us putting to sea. 6 lads took the boat on an all inclusive team building exercise.
The water is clearing all the time, but there doesnt seem to be the feed marks there that we normally get this time of year, it seems as though everything is running a bit late with the water temperature down on the same time last year following those dreadful easterly winds we had a while back.
we started out fishing some 5 miles offshore and took fish first drop, the lads steadily picked away taking a few fish
the better fishing came on the afternoon tide where we moved to one of my favourite wrecks where we finished the day on a high note having a mad hour!
The lads managed a respectable 30 to 40 codlings all on shads and sidewinders.
Now all we are waiting for is another break in the weather to get back at them!
picture are the lads with their fish View Boats Page

16.05.2013.
This time of the year we really should be reporting on the fishing every day. But sadly it seems that the weather gods are still fighting each other up there and not dishing out any good stuff.
A window here and there is all we're getting at the moment.
A mixed group on the boat on Thursday.
I must admit I was full of high expectations after the last weekend with codling showing on the ground on the 5, 7 and 9 mile. Water clearing and all that...........
Thursday saw the water returning to the murky green again :-(((
We started on the 9 mile for just a couple of codling so we moved out to 3 wrecks 18 - 20 mile off and managed around 20 or so fish ( not good for the distance )
We decided to drop back into the 9 mile for the ebb tide and the water had cleared a little from the morning. The lads had another dozen fish on the shad there.
All in all an enjoyable day with some lovely weather too.
The lads are pictured with a few of their fish. View Boats Page

Report on-board Mistress
This weekend was a bit shabby weather wise and a bit lumpy!
Regardless of conditions we were rewarded with some better fishing closer to shore than we have been working.
We saw a mixture of Cod, Ling and Pollock, caught on lures and bait.
The best fish this weekend was a cracking Pollock well into double figures for Brian,
The water is clearing by the day now, and we have hopefully seen the last of the algae,

A mixed group today from as far afield as Ramsbottom to Bedale and thank goodness for that strip of ground 27 miles from shore!!
Yes, it was yet another run back out to that ground locally known as the "Wall"
The VHF on channel 10 was alive with talk of "doom and gloom" from the lads working inshore.
My idea is that if you have the boat and the pace to get to the better grounds / wrecks well offshore then use it! Ok it's a steam to get there, but when you are often rewarded with a good days sport then it has to be done. It breaks my heart when I get the fuel bill at the end of the month but if it means that my lads are in with a good chance of fish then we have to do it!!
Dermot Faye from Bedale was the top lad on the boat with a good bag of fish. His second drop of the day netted him a treble. Nothing big though unfortunately.
Again, another fantastic day both weather wise and company wise.
Cheers lads!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
05.05.13.
Gary Hurling and his lads from Boston Lincs had their first trip of the year today. Once they had boarded I informed them what the inshore fishing had been like for some of the charter fleet here over the last few days.
I suggested that we returned to the "Wall" where we had been getting the best results of any of the boats on the last few trips
Gary said it was a no brainer and we went straight there. With the weather being on our side again ( a beautiful flat calmer ) surely we were destined for top results today!!
A steady picking of fish from the start with the size mark being slightly better than on the last visit out there.
The lads were well chuffed with their catch. The hard work really paying off with a good selection of fish ranging from a Tub Gurnard just short of 2lb ( of which I've never seen one as big for years ) to Cod to 12lbs.
Fantastic weather for the lads making for another good days sport on the Shy-Torque III

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
26.04 13.
Rob Smith and his team joined us board the boat on the 26th April.
With the fishing here at Whitby being somewhat "patchy" shall we say on the inner marks, we have been working offshore to try and find the fish.
We cruised out to a couple of wrecks on the 20 mile stream for very little and decided that we would go to the ground that can usually save the day. That being the "Wall"
Judging by what the other lads were catching inside us this had definately proved to be a good move indeed.
By close of play the lads had gathered a few fish each for the table. 40 or so fish for the boat. Sadly no monsters but a nice few Codling, Pollack and Coalie to the 5lb mark.
Great weather and a great team of lads making the day very enjoyable for all.

Report on-board Avante
had a great weekend over the bank holiday with the alge bloom hindering the in shore fishing I steamed off to find clear water and some nice big fish
On Saturday Karl Dave Nico and Mark made up a individual bookings so we had plenty of room to say the least with just four (the minimum I could take to make it worth while for me anyway) once we arrived we were into fish Pollock Cod and some nice big ones to 10lb we all fished shad most of the day and although the sea was choppy it fell away to give us a great afternoon the forecasters got it right hurray!
Sunday I had just four bookings again forum member Jonty came with his pal Kevin and new to me were Simon and his wife Chrissie same plan steam off but a much nicer start weather wise the fishing was a little slower although the water looked much clearer? Still plenty of fish on the go Chrissie was first to strike then again and again she had three or four before any of the others had seen a life but eventually all ended up with some nice fish and yours truly landed a good strong Cod over 10lb which fell to the shad
Monday the boat had 7 anglers aboard Bob Richard Paul and Sam made up a three and Simon came with his dad and another sorry for the names I forgot again many forum members I employed the same plan with the best forecast of the holiday weekend we set sail in the sun and returned in the sun we had much better stamp generally and more fish for some reason the water was green agin but changed depending on tide strength during the day I think Richard had the best day bait fishing most of the day he landed some crackers and a best Pollock around 12lb a guess as my scales were broken as the fish was only showing 2lbs on the digital read the fishes head would have weighed nearly a pound so in the bin they went then some big double figure cod finished of with a few nice ling
Simon also had some great fish in his bag at the end of the day as did all the rest of the lads
Simon
in all good signs that the summer inshore fishing is only round the corner

Fishing is definately on the turn here at Whitby.
Craig and his pals from Network Rail in Manchester had some nice fish today.
Graham landed the biggest fish of the season so far aboard Mistress - An absolutely belting 26lb Ling.
It came from a distant wreck some 2 1/2 hour steam away from port. Caught on squid bait just as the flood tide started pushing.
Graham was using our Daiwa Hire tackle kindly donated by Daiwa earlier this year.
It consisted of a 20/30 Sea Hunter and a Slosh 30 multiplier
Well done Graham
