Report on-board Mistress
October 2012
We are still only half way through October I know, the weather has turned a bit now, but the fishing still remains good here at Whitby when we can actually get to sea.
The past couple of weeks the water inshore has coloured due to a few days of bad weather, meaning we have had to search futher afield for the fish. The days we have got offshore working the wrecks 20 miles + from Whitby, we have experienced some exellent days sport for the anglers aboard Mistress. The days have seen a rod average easily of 10-15+ fish per angler on the shads.
As the month draws on the weather may give us some bad conditions, the strong SW winds allow us to fish inside at anchor, boat casting for the cod. The shore fishing season has started now (being a keen shore angler I know what is being caught up and down the coast), there are alot of codling in the 2lb to 4lb bracket being caught and we are seeing fish approaching double figures also.
The uptide competition runs November 10th to 18th and Im sure we will see some cracking fish weighed in, there are still a few places available, please contact me on 07977 436 903 to secure your places, Mistress won the Uptiding competition last year taking 1st and 3rd place.
Pictured are the lads from one of the days offshore with a just a few fish from their catch.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Sadly the weather today was forecast to be far too inclement to fetch the lads across from the West coast.
A real shame, as the fishing for the lads aboard the boat yesterday was superb yet again. We steamed back out to the "wall" as intended because of the previous 3 days superb fishing. The big Northerly swell we've been experiencing for the last couple of days had eased, however, it did slow things up a little with the clarity not being quite as clear, so it was time to try some different spots in the deeper water.
The first lump of ground released some 40 or so fish and the second piece of ground we tried giving us another 50 plus fish. Ling to just in to double figures and cod going to over 15lbs.
A 50/50 split so far as what caught best yesterday, with the majority of ling falling to the squid, whilst most of the cod fell to the artificial lures.
Here's hoping the weather patterns recover in our favour soon and we can get back at them again!!
Pictured is Steve Bore from Grimsby with the best cod on the boat at 15lbs 4oz.

A mixed group from all over the place on the boat today. From Durham to Derbyshire.
A rather large Northerly swell greeted us this morning with a light breeze from the North West over it. Not the comfiest of runs out or the best of conditions but again the lads produced the goods!!
Cod, ling and the odd pollock falling to the shads and the fresh squid all day long on the exact same mark as yesterday. Bonus again!!
Polish Daz from Nottingham taking the best ling of the day at 16lb with some nice cod to the 10lb mark as well. He ended up with a nice box of fish for himself.
Les Patrick from Driffield also managed a good box of cod to share amongst the family.
The forecast is looking very good indeed again for tomorrow so hopefully we'll provide the goods again for the lads.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Today was a complete contrast on yesterdays fishing on the Shy-Torque. After the struggle we endured yesterday working on the inshore marks we decided that a trip to the "wall" was definately in order.
We couldn't have wished for better conditions for the cruise out there. A beautiful calm morning with a cracking sun rise thrown in.
We were greeted by a pair of Minke whales on arrival which was superb for the lads to see!!
The 1st ridge of ground we stopped on was to be the provider of a tremendous amount of fish for the lads. We never had to move from it all day which was a bonus. Everyone on board had 15 cod plus and some of the lads had half a dozen ling to add to them.
Dermot Faye from Bedale had a nice little wolf fish of 4lb for the pot. Nice eating too!
The average size of the cod today were around the 5-6lb mark with a good few fish to the 10lb mark too. A few of the ling managed to nudge the scales to 9lb. Not the monsters of late on the boat but still nice to see.
A very enjoyable day for all today including myself !!

The herring are spawning here at Whitby at the moment making for a very poor day quantity wise yesterday.
Both the cod and ling were very hard to come across indeed. However at the close of play Jim Arthur from Blackburn came across this beauty of 20lb 2oz. A nice way to finish the day after a struggle in the morning.
Jim is a past September festival winner on the Shy-Torque.
Nice one mate!!
