I only had 4 lads booked ontoday so it gave me a chance to wet a line for a change! we had a smaller tide today, but the sea was flat it was a lovely day to be at sea once the sun poked through the clouds. we started in the same spot we left the day before and were into codlings from the start, again it was slow, but i tried something a bit different today, i moved the boat everytime the bites dried up and as a result found the lads a few more fish and they seemed to be of much better stamp too, the best lad had half a dozen fish upto 7lb,

Report on-board Mistress
The fishing party from west yorkshire police have been trying to get out uptiding for a few months now, and finally with a break in the weather we managed to get out, it was a bit bumpy to start with having wind over tide. It was hard work from the start with us catching a few whiting and pouting only on the flood tide, we had quite a efw missed bites too. Anyway as the ebb tide approached we moved and intatntly got into the codlings. It was a faily slow day with the cod going to around 4 1/2lb.

Once again with a decent forcast it was chances to out uptiding the lads were keen as mustard we had all the baits onboard you could think of squid,mussel ,cart fresh yellowtails you name we had but the biggist fish fell to squid and worm but cart certainly did damage again most of the fish were over 5lb the best over 8lb but quite a few between 6-7lb all in all it wasnt thick and fast the morning on the ebb was little slow but come afternoon on the flood the fish came on with lovelly sized cod and we were only 400yds on saltwick nab .
The best lad on board had 10 codling betwenn 5-7lb not bad uptiding and great sport on light gear.
This man took the sweep with 8lb fish

With a break in the weather i had a team of lads on who love the uptiding so with the forcast being fine i told the lads plenty of squid and blacks for the session the fishing was very steady most of the with 90% of the cod between 6-8lb a very good stamp of fish seeing you are only fishing 500 yds from the cliff bottoms and with no steaming time what a better way to relax , the best fish of the day was 10lb 2 oz a nice size fish but as isaid most fish were between 6-8lb the lads were over the moon.

The wrecking trips of late have been exceptional here at Whitby ( when we've managed to get off for the weather !! ) Plenty of good size cod to be taken. All the cod taken on the shads with the water being as clear as I've ever seen it in November for years. Hopefully away in the morning again as we have a small window in the weather.
Pictured is Jim Arthur from Darwin in Blackburn with a couple of his better fish of the day. View Boats Page
