Report on-board Mistress
We have had a cracking couple of days fishing here at Whitby, with the two day window that appeared we certainly made the best of it!
Phil from Stratford bought his family along, and we also had Mistress regular John Holder onboard for the day. And what a lovely day at sea it was, with sunshine and flat seas.
Everyone caught plenty of cod to take home with and finished up with between 35 and 40 cod between us, the best angler taking a dozen cod himself, the best fish was a double and caught by John and took the scales round to 10lb 3oz, well done mate.
The best bait was black lug and squid, which has been the most consistent bait so far this year.
Cart accounted for a few fish too.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Hi lads,
Just a short note to let you all know where we are with the boats re-fit.
We had to wait a bit longer than anticipated for the new engines, however they are now sat back in the boat, set up, primed and ready to go.
I do now have to wait for my electrician ( and good family friend ) John Wilcock to return from his trip to Burma.
He is completely re-wiring her from the engine harness's and looms back to the wheelhouse.
He is due back on the 3rd March and has told me that he has 3-4 days work with the re-wire job. Consequently we are now looking at a re-launch date around the 2nd week in March.
I can only apologise for the unforseen extra time out of the water, but at the end of the day the boat will be 100% tip top for the start of the season (hopefully!!)
We do still have the use of my mates boat as we speak so if you see a window in the weather and fancy a run off please give me a ring.
Cheers for now

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
Well yesterday what a contrast to today willd today but yesterday was very different light winds small tide allways worth a look on the wrecks at this time of year if there is a chance of some clear water.
The winds over the last few weeks have been strong but mainly from the south which in general doesnt stir the water up really bad once you get a few miles off so i said to the lads we would drop the ankhor for a while to see if the uptiding was still fishing well which over the last 4 or 5 months has been superb to say the least .
Yesterday tide was Only a 4.5 mtr not the best for uptiding but we got the anchor down the lads got casted out squid and frozen blacks were the bait it wasnt long before a codling came aboard but as the morning progressed in the back of my mind i wanted to have a shoot off and try a few wrecks.
The water had begun to clear a little even tight inshore so i new the water out on the 9 mile would be reasonable clear so just before luch time i said to the lads come on lets go and have a look we might get a nice surprize.
The wind first thing in the morning was drafty but it was forcast to drop off as the day went on and by mid morning it was dying away.
I had one wreck in mind which i fancied and i put a shad on with a squid head just to give it a little bit of scent i will often do this if the water isnt fully clear in winter works a treat but i will then try a shad without being baited to see if its clear enough you soon know the rod tip soon starts to pull over .
First drift with a baited shad and bang the rods over and lads at the back of the boat put a single hook down with a full squid i turn round and they are into fish everybody has smile like a chesire cat
Here we go boys great to see some nice codlings started to come aboard the lads were loving it we had had a nice few drifts then up poppped sammy the seal with a cod in his jaws straight away it had spooked the fish, they laid low no more takes by then it was getting towards 3 pm to late to shoot further off the sea was near on like glass
If i had known it was going to be as nice i would have took off first thing in the morning starting out on 9 mile i know for sure as what we caught fish on the 5 mile we could have had a big days fishing still the first cod on shads this year and i know a hell of a lot more to come.
This fish was on a green shad View Boats Page

Finally we got a break in the weather to get out and have a crack at the Uptiding at night.
The conditions werent the best with dropping tides and water clarity alot clearer than we thought it would be.
and drizzle all night!
sailing at 5pm and returning at 10pm gave us most of the flood tide to work with.
We took fish at every place we stopped but not in the numbers expected.
All in all it was an enjoyable evening doing something a little different, everyone caught fish to take home, the more experienced lads taking more than others.
we finished up with 23 Codlings, a whiting and a strap ling (which was instructed to come back when in double figures!)

With a weather window yesterday conditions looked good still a big tide thick colour it was fingers crossed for another good days fishing the fishing was steady in the morning but it was late afternoon when the flood tide came through that the action reallly came on 4 lads on the boat and over 50 cod in total.
There was a lad onboard who has never boat fished before so he a got a lovelly introduction and good bag of cod fillets to take home he was well chuffed we did have a few problems with sammy the seal yesterday robbing fish you can get this once you hit febuary the seals can become very active the lads got a bit of shock when he stole a fish off one of the lines then came up not far from the boat we had to move in the end we were losing a few fish .
First time on a boat for this lad loved it he will be back got his best a cod just under 7lb and he got a few more as well plus he took the sweep that finished the day he was well chuffed,.
He gets nice few fish and a nice in the yellow bucket for one of the other lads. View Boats Page

Managed to sneak a day in on Saturday between the bad weather days we have been getting here at whitby recently.
We went uptiding again as its has been fishing well, the tides wee small but the last bit of sea we had left plenty of colour so hopes wrre running high.
we had a slow start but persevered and moved a few times finding a few fish each spot.
The biggest fish was a 17lb Ling today which fell to local lad Niki on his 2nd ever boat trip,
we also had cod upto 9lb 12oz, and a good few fish in the 6lb bracket too.
best bait was worm and squid, but cart took a few too.
Pictured is Niki with his Ling - well done on your new PB mate! View Boats Page
