    Report on-board Mistress

    14th September

    We bit the bullet and went for a good steam off today, the journey was well worth it, all the fish were 4/5lb-8/9lb, unbelievable stamp of cod, needless to say the lads were all over the moon!

    The autumn fishing has followed on from an outstanding summer here at ‪‎Whitby‬
    The fish are still out there, so we just need a spell of good weather to get to the offshore wrecks to extract them!

    I'm putting a festive sweepstake in place this winter on ‪Mistress‬ Its going to be an all in, all out event, we already have around £1000 worth of tackle and cash prizes up for grabs, details to follow!

    If you would like a bash at the amazing wrecking we're currently experiencing or a crack at our festive sweepstake, give me a call on 07977 436903,
    e-mail: seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on my facebook page: Mistress Sea Angling Charters

    9 Sep 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Seeing as we had done so well yesterday, I had to return to the wreck we were fishing, even as we left we were still getting 7 / 8 rods a drift into fish.

    So, we set off over the horizon again! we had a quick stop on the 9 mile ground to break the journey up and get some fresh bait, where mackerel and herrings seemed to jump aboard!

    As we arrived at our wreck, the marks didn't seem to be showing as they were the day before so a couple of drifts and just a couple of fish later we moved around to a couple of near by wrecks just scratching a few fish together, I had a feeling with a change in tide things may pick up . . . .

    They did, as we got back to our first wreck we must of taken at least a dozen fish on our first drift. Smiles all round the boat as we then took a steady picking of fish until home time, everybody catching plenty on shads.

    The lads were still filleting as we came into the bay at ‪whitby‬ some 2 1/2 hours later, not as hectic as the day before but certainly another good day for the ‪‎mistress‬ anglers.

    If you would like a trip out of Whitby, why not give us a try, call Rich on 07977 436903 or drop me a message, e-mail: seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or Facebookpage: Mistress Sea Angling Charters

    Report on-board Mistress

    Its been over a week since we were last at sea here at ‪#‎whitby‬ due to these northerly winds!

    Well it was worth the wait, the ‪Mistress‬ anglers absolutely smashed it again today, we ended up a good way offshore and hit our mark by 1130am, i ordered lines up for home at 2am, the action was non-stop every rod into fish every drift, some lucky anglers getting 2 or 3 per drift.

    Paul Brennan treated his fishing mad daughter, Milly to her first sea fishing trip today, she fished her socks off and landed some beauty's, ling to just under double figures and some belting cod to around 8lb too. well done Milly!

    Everyone was banging em out, they couldn't fail, the more experienced lads throwing a good few back too, we must of boated 200+ cod in just a couple of hours.

    The best Cod hovered around 10lb for local angler roy from snaith, and the best ling went just over 10lb for Mistress regular Peter McCulough from Marton in Middlesbrough.
    Most fish fell to shads, despite dropping big baits for the better fish we just couldnt get through the the cod all in the 4lb-6lb range.

    If you fancy getting a slice of this autumn cod bonanza give me a call on 07977 436903. or drop me a message on my Facebook page Mistress Sea Angling Charters,

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The fishing remains very steady here at Whitby. Over the last week or so we have certainly had more good days than bad. A steady picking of codling wherever we've worked to be honest. The "codling" seems to be the main stamp overall this year. Usual size being 2 -5lb. One or two more decent fish thrown in amongst them.

    Last Monday saw the weather take yet another turn for the worse and is currently out of the North with some strength behind it at times. Just hoping it doesn't do any damage before the September comp gets under way this coming Saturday (5th Sept) We have just 1 day left in the comp now (Tuesday 15th) Individuals are very welcome to join us.

    The competition offers anglers cash prizes up to £1000.00 !!

    This last week has seen some very happy anglers aboard the boat. Best Cod fell to regular angler on the boat Simon England at a shade over 13lbs.

    A very good Haddock of 4lb 4oz fell to a newcomer to the boat. Gedirius from Leeds.

    Simon is pictured.

  • 31/08/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    31 Aug 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Finally I've found a bit of time to report on our last week or so here at ‪Whitby‬ .

    Id like to say the ‪#‎Mistress‬ anglers filled the boat everyday, but I can't, BUT the fishing has remained steady / good, I found yet another couple of new ridges with my Maxsea as the tides started picking up and they produced well for us over a couple of days, nothing huge most fish in the 2lb-4lb range with the odd 6lber chucked in, again all on shads.

    The wrecking produced good catches on the small tides with a better stamp of fish boated, all happy lads one crew caught more than enough and left a bit of fish behind saying they had more than they wanted, so I passed a few fillets round the local to few mates, who were appreciative.

    Our last day of the week we saw a very small window in the forecast, as the sea came away northerly, I knew we'd have the weather behind us on the way home, I took a gamble and had a run offshore to a well known wreck, it payed off for us with us having one of the best days of the year, Pollock to just under 9lb and lots and lots of prime Whitby cod,

    We managed a couple of hours wrecking on our chosen mark before the sea came away but it was more then enough time to satisfy the lads! the fishing was absolutely frantic! most fish in the 4lb-6lb range with a good few around the 8lb mark. all on shads and light gear.

    We are now closing in our Autumn festival which starts on the 5th September for 2 weeks, £1000 up for grabs as a top prize plus daily prizes for heaviest three fish weighed, we got the 2nd heaviest fish last year and won the event the year before on Mistress.

    If you'd like a run off with us give me a call on 07977 436903, e-mail me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on FB page Mistress Sea Angling Charters.
