Report on-board Mistress
We have had a fantastic day today at sea,
The weather has been as close to summer as it gets!
The fishing was a bit slow through the day while we searched for a few fish, we worked our way offshore stopping on a few wrecks on the way taking the odd fish from them as we went.
Luckily the last wreck we stopped on threw up a good few fish for the lads, giving us a mad hour and Deano (my crewman) a bit of a workout with the net! we had fish up to 10lb in weight,
The lads left with a good bag of fish each with some nice conditioned early season fish amoung them.
The water is definately clearing, with us nailing some good fish this week each day we have been.
Pictured are todays lads with some of their fish, they couldnt pose with them all!

Report on-board Mistress
We managed a day at sea today, and finally something worth reporting! the fishing here at Whitby has been a bit patchy of late, there appears to be signs of the water clearing at last.
Although we never caught masses of fish today we manged to locate a few on one of the reefs here at Whitby on blue and white shads.
The signs are there for the water beginning to clear out for the summer shadding.
We still have some dates available in June and July - considered the best months for cod fishing here at Whitby - If you fancy a trip drop me an Email at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or call me on 07977 436903
Cheers

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
The forcast today was for a stiff southwesterly wind the lads were keen to wet a line so i told them ankhor down was the only option to much wind to go wrecking i was quitely confident after the northerly swell yesterday and a very big tide we might just get a shock my hunch was right .
Local lad perry franklin was onboard the uptiding master with his baits if anything was about he would allmost defernetly locate them and sure enough lines went in a couple of minuites later perry was shouting for the net and by the way his rod was bouncing i new it was a good fish.
The lads fished steady till the wind started to really howl and with slack water beckoning we decided to call it a day a lovelly surprize uptiding was good in april last winter it looks like its going into may this year.
Perry with his fish a really nice cod. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A group of lads from around the North East joined us yesterday. The fishing was far from easy but we did manage to find a few in the end.
We steamed out to 3 wrecks 18 miles NE of Whitby to start the day and pulled around 25 fish off them. Nothing of any real size though. We had a couple of drops on the 9 mile ground on our return and had half a dozen more codling there, which is very encouraging!!
One of the lads actually managed a treble on one drop!! A major improvement on the last couple of months. Things are finally starting to go in the right direction and the Algea seems to be thinning out at long last. This Winter seems to have been never ending!!
The big fishing is literally just around the corner here at Whitby. Have a look at the availability calendar and give me a call for a chat anytime.
Pictured is Andy from Thornaby with one of his codling.
Happy fishing

Saturday and sunday just gone were last two days in the spring festival but what contrast between the two days saturday saw for the lads on sea-otter 2 have nice and steady days fishing squid and shads did the buisness the lads had about 40 codlings in total thats a good days fishing at the moment with the heavy algie bloom yesterday sunday was as hard as you will get it unbelivable the difference in fishing between the two days.
Saturdays lads were my regulars who have fished with me for many years and the weather was also probably one of the best days this year upto now some of the lads were even down to t-shirts the best fish went about 8lb we didnt sent it to the scales as on the radio i heard 3 or 4 more just slightly bigger a bit unlucky we didnt nail a double considering the amount of fish the lads caught but thats fishing most of the fish werent big but the lads were well happy.
The lads at the ned of the day with a few of there fish. View Boats Page

I had a walk in to Martin and Jackies shop for a natter and a cuppa today and what a
fantastic surprise I got upon entering!
Martin and Jackie are the owners of Whitby ANGLING Supplies here at
Whitby and have been now for a number of years. They pride themselves on
offering a 1st class service, both in the sale of tackle and also the
knowledge of the sea angling here at Whitby. Dan is also on their team
as sales assistant and is as enthusiastic and knowledgeable about
angling at Whitby as I am, and that takes a lot!! He will tell you
exactly what you need for a great days sport.
The surprise I got was from the vast array of stock which Martin has
just introduced in to the shop. It was literally like walking in to
"Alladins Cave" Every conceivable item you could ever wish for in the
name of sea angling is in there!! Top branded names in every section of
the shop, from rods and reels to the bottom gear. Floatation suits,
boots, the lot is there! I've never seen as much stuff in one place!! A
real credit to them.
Here's hoping your hard work and efforts are thoroughly rewarded this
year Martin. You get my full vote and I will ( as always ) be sure to
point my lads your way again during this season.
May I also just add that they are sponsors of the Whitby Charter
Skippers Association competitions here at Whitby and without the
continued support from them and other businesses in Whitby we wouldn't
be able to host such events.
Make sure you pay them a visit next time you're in Whitby. They will
beat the other angling shops here hands down!!
Call in to see them before the other shops.
Happy fishing
Rich. View Boats Page

The spring festival started on saturday the weather over the last month or so has been dreadfull the water has been murky due to the northeast winds plus the algie bloom has also kicked in it was very hard going saturday and sunday for all the boats in the competition but on sunday we managed 1st ,2nd and 3rd in the daily prizes plus we are now leading the festival.
The water should start to clear from now on with the winds coming round to a more southwesterly direction so fingers crossed some much bigger cod should start to show on bait and jellys.
The lads with the daily winners small but the bigger fish will come. View Boats Page

With the forcast being very iffy today the only option today was the uptiding and iot was local man perry frankland which showed the lads just how to catch cod at ankhor perry had all baits known to man with him and it all paid off fishing wasnt easy and all the lads got fish but perry won the sweep and ended up with a nice bag of cod.
I had to pull out all the stops today for the lads but it all ended up well.
Perry takes the sweep.. View Boats Page
