    Report on-board Sea Otter 2

    Winer uptiding is well underway here at whitby with double figure cod now showing plus there are stacks of cod between 3-6 lb also being taken wrecking is also doing well but the weather is hindering but as whitby does every winter the uptiding still gives the guys good cod fishing and only minuites from the harbour.

    One of the lads from blackpool with a nice plump cod just over 10lb the lads had a bumper day with plenty of cod between 3-6lb they will be back.

  • 21/11/2011 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    21 Nov 2011 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    The winter uptide festival is underway and we managed a day at sea with a couple of regular lads who had been looking forward the day for months.
    We got under the bridge at 8am and headed towards one of Whitby's popular uptiding marks just a couple of miles up the coast off sandsend.
    The lads had bought a mate with them so we had three anglers fishing the competition with us today, they had some quality bait with them too, fresh lug, frozen black lug, mussel, squid, cart and a few peelers.
    It paid off for the lads having all that good bait, within minutes af settling into anchor everyone was getting bites and few codlings starting coming over the gunnels.
    About an hour in, one of the lads John said he'd hooked soemthing a bit better, and seeing as it was staying deep it looked a bit better stamp of fish, when we got it in the hook just slipped out its mouth, so lucky there! it took the scales round to about 7 1/2lb which is nice fish by any standards. The fishing continued to be quite good until the tide eased and the fish went right off the feed. We upped anchor and moved to another mark which we hoped might have a bit of tide running but it was quiet so we moved back to the other mark for the start of the tide, the fish seemed slow coming back on but they did, and one of the lads managed around another 6 fish before home time. Andy cod-catcher Stonehouse managed around a dozen fish for the day all between 2 and 5lb, the other lads managed around half a dozen fish each too upto 6lbas well as the 7lber.
    Back at the weigh-in we were delighted to learn that John had the heaviest cod of the day making him £50 for his efforts, also being a new uptide PB for him.
    Pictured is John with his daily winning fish.

    Report on-board Mistress

    With a settled spell recently and the water clarity good, the lads wanted to have a crack at the wreck and ground fishing today. The tide was fairly small so was perfect, the only thing against us would be the southerly wind which threatened to push us along a bit too fast on the ebb tide in the afternoon.
    Well, 1st stop was a wreck at only 3 miles, we hit a ball of fish taking a few off it and losing a few, all nice conditioned cod, all around the 5lb mark.
    the mark slowed off so we moved around taking the odd fish until we arrived on the 8 mile ground. Moving between marks we passsed over a huge feed mark, I went around it & set up the drift for the lads - Bingo! all rods straight into fish! some of the lads pulling in 2 or 3 fish on the same rig, we continued to fish this mark until the tide eased off and it went off the feed. we moved around trying a few more marks but the fish were a bit ellusive. As the ebb got away the drift increased even though we tried more marks it was proving hard to nail a few fish. Finally it was home time, and the lads had had a good day considering the time of year and conditions, between the five of them they managed 4 boxes of quality fish, Cod to 8lb, Ling to 14lb, with another slightly lighter ling of 11lb but still in double figures.
    Pictured are the lads with some of their catch

  • 10/2011 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    Oct 2011 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    October

    This month has seen the beginning of the Uptide season. Unfortunately the weather hasnt been kind to us and the only option of getting to sea has been uptiding. The fish we have seen have been fresh run and in great condition with an average size of around 5lb. Sport has been a little slow to start but the signs are there for a great winter season, on the average to larger tides.
    We managed to get offshore wrecking a few times and we were still getting fish to double figures for the lads.
    Weather permitting we will still be running rough ground and wrecking trips throughout the winter period.

    Pictured is Tony with a nice cod of around 6lb, caught uptiding.
