Report on-board Shy-Torque III
August has started really well for us here at Whitby both with the weather and with the fishing.
Yesterday and today we have been shark fishing on the Shy-Torque, sadly with no fish showing again.
A mate of mine told me yesterday that the Icelandic fleet have taken some 500,000 tonnes of mackerel from the sea up there over the last 3 months. This has to have a massive impact on the way the sharks are feeding and is probably the main reason we have yet to boat one this year. That is one Hell of a lot of fish!!!!
The lads have however have had some good fishing on the ground whilst waiting for the big boy with plenty of small codling to 7lbs and an odd half decent ling popping up, the best going a shade over 14lbs for Peter Bloom from Pickering.
The weather is set to stay settled for the next few days here and with the tides falling to neaps again from tomorrow we should be seeing some good sport.
Pictured is Peter Bloom who looks after the seal and sea lions at Flamingo Land theme park.
His personal best to date at 14lb 3oz.

Report on-board Mistress
Another drop in tides again today saw us wrecking all day. We travelled a bit further offshore with the lads from Hull.
The drift was around 1.6 knots to start with, once we had arrived at our mark. We took fish from the off today, with hardly any blank drifts. The fishing remained steady until slack water and it went off a bit.
The lads had already graced the deck with some cracking fish, Ling to 17lb to Steve who also had two others into double figures plus a box of smaller fish to himself.
Craig the organiser, managed half a box of fish with Cod approaching double figures, and Pollock to 8lb or so.
The other lads managed some respectable fish too taking a number of Ling over 10lb.
I wet a line too today and took Pollock and Cod on rhubabrd and custard sidewinders.

Report on-board Mistress
Today started out a bit shabby with a north westerly swell, despite that it was a nice sunny day. The tides are just beginning to drop too so hopes were running high for a few fish.
With the breeze at the back of the tide we were drifting quite quickly first thing, but as the tide eased the sea began to flatten and it turned out nice. We took most of our fish from a wreck going into, over and just out of slack water.
The fishing was a bit slow, but everybody caught fish to take home, we had a mixture of Cod, Ling, Pollock, Mackerel, Whiting and Pouting. The biggest fish onboard was probably only around 10lb in weight so nothing big today.
The highlight was experiencing a Minky whale swimming around us for around half an hour, Ive never had one as close to the boat as this one. Please see the film clip in the video section

Yesterday we decided to have a run off to 3 wrecks in a group on the 20 mile mark.
They let us down somewhat with only 20 - 30 fish in total off them. However the cod we had off them were a good stamp with the best fish being 9lb. After we had picked them clean we ran back into the ground on the 9 mile and finished off nicely with another 30 or so cod before the wind drew round to the South East and spoiled things!
With 30 minutes back at the bell bouy for the lads to gather the some lovely fresh mackerel for the plate we called it at 4 p.m as the breeze was very fresh by then!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
This week has seen some steady fishing board the boat so far.
On Monday a mixed group from the North East joined us and enjoyed some great summer weather along with some great summer fishing!
The lads decided it would be an idea to have a boat sweep and £5.00 per man was agreed. With a full 12 complement on board a £60.00 bonus was on offer! Up until 2 p.m the best fish on the boat was a nice cod of 7lb 9oz ( nothing startling! ) Then, Chris Maltby from Darlington brought a nice ling of 11lb aboard which held out till close of play. Trip paid for plus a couple of pints!! Well done Chris.
The lads ended up with a nice bag of fish each.
The lads are back aboard the boat this next month. I will push them for a £10.00 per man sweep next time!!

Yesterday was another successful day aboard Mistress, the best lad got nearly a full box of fish himself, mainly ling today, we caught a few cod on shad early in the day and a few came later to bait off the wrecks. Biggest Cod weighed in at around 10lb caught on mackerel fillet. One of the lads had a bit of a surprise today when he reeled in a dead weight after being tangled in the wreck. Not only did he catch a shad and weight but tangled further down the main line was a lobster nearly 4lb in weight!
