    Report on-board Mistress

    We put to sea yesterday morning as planned, with a view to going wrecking, when we nudged out the pier ends it was a bit shabby to say the least!

    so we plodded out to the 4 & 5 mile where we had a few drifts on some wrecks, the drift was a bit too quick tbh BUT we managed to get a few codlings on board upto 5lb, and dropped others off so the signs are there,

    We waited and went back inside for the edd tide and got the anchor down. Even on the small tide we managed to take a steady picking of fish, finishing up with 30-40 cod for the boat,

    Tony Barret took 15 himself, using the NashBaits big squid attractor aditive, well done mate. The stamp of fish was generally good, most in the 3lb bracket with a few more upto 6lb

    Pictured is Martin Hoole, with one of his better fish of the day

    Absolutely Belting Evening Uptiding

    We fished yesterday as planned 2pm till 8pm, the weather fell away perfect for us fishing the flood tide,

    We got set up on our first spot just as the tide got away, it was steady a hour or so we must have taken a good 20 or so fish there including a double hook up on my pennel rig!,

    I moved again and it was slow in this spot we lost a few and bagged a few,
    So I picked up for the what turned out the be the final move, dusk was just setting in as we settled in, and the fishing went ballistic!

    The rods were just nodding non stop, it turned out the best lad,Gary Arkle from Newcastle, had landed the best part of 30 cod himself! giving Gary credit, he returned most of his fish even though they were size, as did the others on board, plenty returned to fight another day,

    Tallying up on the way in we had had a belter session taking between 70 & 80 cod in around 5 hours fishing!

    Pictured is Charles from Harrogate with one of his fish

    Report on-board Mistress

    A great first day out with Rich Cope and Mistress.
    Slow start but once the tide turned the sport picked up quickly.
    Good trip with Rich and crewman Alex, whose 7 year son Kai took the top spot on the day.
    Great bag of cod, including a 7 pounder put us all to shame. Top man Kai, a star in the making.
    Watch out Rich he'll be after your job next
    My first trip with this skipper but definitely not the last

    Report on-board Mistress

    We managed to get to sea on Sunday again this weekend,

    we got off to fairly slow start in the morning, but I knew things would improve once the tide turned, the fishing came on with a bang once it did.

    even though it wasnt a hectic day we managed between 45 & 50 Codlings for the day, a few of the lads managed close on double figure bags to mostly worm and squid cocktail baits.

    Top rod Kai Leadley (7) managed the biggest bag and biggest fish of the day, a cracker at 7lb 2oz, beating his PB, well done mate, top fishing!

    Pictured is a very proud Kai, with his new PB Cod

    Report on-board Skylark

    Conditions were alot better today with only a small amount of drizzle. Had a fantastic start to the trip catching fish and watching the all weather life boat and the inshore lifeboat training with the new helicopter.

    Unfortunalty we were plagues by seals all day with them surfacing next to the boat and chasing fish.
    The lads did manage to get a good 25 cod aboard with the heaviest been about 5lb and the rest been about 2lb we returned several size lip hooked fish to hopefully catch again when there bigger.

    We managed another successful day at sea again today here at ‪Whitby‬ aboard ‪Mistress‬ .

    Everyone got among the fish with them taking mainly squid / worm cocktails.

    The best lad landed well over 20 fish himself today, throwing many back just keeping enough for the table. we saw a good few fish in the 5-6lb region today, and as always everything under 40cm went back alive.

    With the tides building I expect we will continue to enjoy sport inshore to Uptide tactics.

    We have space available on sunday if youre interested give us a shout on 07977 436903, tight lines, Rich

    Pictured are the lads at the end fo the day with a few of their fish! well done men!

    We had a good break in the weather again today here at Scarborough aboard the Skylarkand had a Cracking 6 Hour Uptiding trip today.

    Over 30 fish kept today with several been over 5lb and many small lip hooked fish returned to fight another day. Dave and Steve managed to catch 7 cod a piece. With the heaviest fish been 8 lb. Steve even managed to get the first fish out in less than 5 minutes.

    Again like Saturday a lot of resident fish caught today and plenty of bites.

    Great weather and great company with plenty of banter as always.


    With the tides building this weekend hopefully we might be able to seek out the bigger fish, and catch the smaller fish on light tackle.

    We currently have 2 spaces available on Sunday if your interested give me a call on 07939 025881.
