Approaching the end of the Spring competition here at Whitby now guys.
We decided that a run off shore again today was in order, to try for the big one.
Nothing to challenge the leading fish, but Bill Wildey from Edinburgh took yet another 1st daily prize for the Shy-Torque crew with a nice Cod of (I think) 9 lb 9 oz.
Bill is pictured.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A cracking forecast today allowed us to try some more distant offshore wrecks in search of the Spring festival winner.
A mixed group of regulars along with newcomers to the boat resulted in a reasonable show of fish for the lads today.
Starting on a wreck 17 miles North of the harbour and finishing on one some 27 miles from shore, the lads ended up with around 60 fish between them. Not a brilliant catch numbers wise, but some good quality fish, with the best fish falling to regular Shy-Torque angler Guy Wrightson who took 1st daily again. Guy lead the comp at the start with a nice Ling of just over 12 lbs.
His Pollack today of 9 lbs winning the £50.00 daily 1st prize.
His mate Craig Simmonds taking 3rd daily prize.
Guy is pictured.
Cheers and tight lines

Report on-board TROT- ON
A difficult weekends fishing this week. With MASSIVE tides and a mixture of weather we had several novice anglers on board this weekend, Some like John from leeds who was a member of a stag party whose ages ranged from 20-70. John had never caught a fish before but with a little tuition on the tackle managed to catch his first ever fish which made him a very happy chappie. The lads enjoyed themselves and re-booked to go with Whitby's Premier Charter Boat "Trot On" again.
Friday saw us winning the WCSA daily prize in the W.C.S.A. spring festival with a ling of 6lb+ caught by Whitby local P. Franklin
Trot On is at time of posting this report still leading the festival with a 16lb+ cod that could land the winner £1000 winnings This was Trot On's 3rd day at sea in this years spring festival and the 3rd daily win.
Oskar from Castleford was also aboard with us on Friday.
He caught his first ever fish, A Pouting which was returned Showing Anglers of all abilities, Catch fish when aboard with Paul Eddon at the helm.
Trot on and her sister boat Alliance are running a monthly heaviest fish award with the winner getting a free trip so you have a chance of 2 trips for the price of 1 View Boats Page

05.04.2016.
To be perfectly truthful, the fishing here at Whitby over the last week or so hasn't been particularly startling. This has been mainly down to the huge tides we have just had and a slight discolouration in the water.
Neil Avery and his team joined the boat today and had a slow day all in all. Some 20 odd fish for the boat that's all.
The lads weren't disappointed though as, as always, 150% effort was put in on the day by all the lads and crew.
Colin Middleton took the best fish of the day with a cod of 6 lb 10 oz.
Cheers and tight lines as ever

Report on-board TROT- ON
Neville and the lads travelled over from Carlisle to fish with Whitby's Premier charter boat Trot On today.
With the day starting out with a little light drizzle we headed out to one of skipper Paul Eddon's favourite wrecks out on the 18 mile mark. After a steady steam out arriving just as the tide was slowing to slack water.
Time to fire bait down was the call. and as usual Paul was right on the money.
Fish were falling to Squid baits as soon as it hit bottom. mainly coddling to 6 - 7lb. The pollack were not to be left out and we had several in the 6-8 lb bracket. Until Whitby local Perry Franklin hooked into a Very, Very good fish that fought like the devil. When the fish finally broke the surface he realized why. It was foul hooked in the tail. A point Perry was reminded of ALL day with some great light hearted banter. The fish was still not to be sniffed at weighing in at the Whitby Charter boat Skippers Association Spring festival at 11lb 7oz and taking the daily 1st place, Fishing was consistent with several fish being boated each drift. a change to shads when the tide started running also produced fish but bait was the main call of the day. A day that was spoiled when Sammy the seal decided to make an appearance. One lad had what looked to be a very very good fish on until his rod bent a little more and his line came screaming off when Sammy decided it was lunch time. This quietened the fishing so a quick move was in order . We also had a steady picking of fish from the next wreck. We ended the day with over 100 fish between us and loads of the smaller coddling returned to fight another day. If you are fishing at Whitby there really is only 1 boat to fish with. Nobody works harder for the angler than Paul he has a certain knack of putting you on the fish.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
02.04.16.
The spring angling competition started here at Whitby last Saturday.
A very blustery Southerly wind was forecast at first so we decided to leave the harbour at 9 am to give the wind a chance to abait a little which fortunately it did.
We headed straight out to our first mark some 20 miles East of the Harbour with very poor results. Around 20 fish off it. The second spot produced a lot better with around 50 fish coming off this. No monsters but my old mate Guy Wrightson took the fish of the day on the boat with a Ling of 12 lb 3.5 oz. This fish also took the heaviest overall on the day in the competition and is currently leading the event. Well done mate. Let's hope it stands till the end!!
If you would like a go in the Spring comp we still have a few spaces left on the 11th, 12th and 13th next week.
A very nice 1st place cash prize of £1000.00 is on offer for the heaviest fish of the competition.
