Report on-board Mistress
Firstly I would like to congratulate Mick on Avante and Ken for getting the biggest fish of the Uptide competition, well done guys!
It fished well for us on Mistress too, we took 3rd and 4th heaviest fish overall, the biggest of any other species and junior section too. We only missed out on the heaviest bag by 1lb!
The fishing was slow on a couple of days but others the fishing was exceptional, our best day saw us boating over 90 cod! we had another day taking over 80 too.
The Inshore competition is over now for this year, but with the event being so successful, sponsorship has been pledged for next year and dates set! November 8th to 23rd
The inshore fishing is still producing good numbers of fish, even though we are tied up at the minute with the weather, the shore fishing is throwing out lots of codlings and few better fish reported.

Well, the work on the boat is running to schedule with both engines now out of the boat. The clean and paint up in the engine room is now in progress!!
If the weather doesn't get too bad for us we should be able to work on her every day. Tarpaulin's at the ready if it does change!!
I will keep you updated as we go along lads. The availability calendar is showing blue throughout November to give me chance to get well on with the work on the boat, but please feel free to give me a call at the end of the month if you fancy a run off as I do have the use of a mates boat. I will sail with a minimum of 4 anglers.
A massive well done to Mick Leonard on AVANTE for winning the inshore competition here at Whitby. A mate and work collegue of mine here at Whitby. Congratulations Mick and also to Ken Lydell (winner)
Last years inshore competition was won by the Never Can Tell. Seems these are the boys who know the inshore marks better than anyone else here at Whitby!!
Cheers for now lads

Report on-board Mistress
Another cracking day here at Whitby,
We were greeted with a nice flat sea and sunshine today, hopes were running high due the northwesterly we have been experiencing here the last two days putting a bit more colour back in the water.
Everywhere we stopped today we took a good number of fish, we left plenty behind in the search of bigger ones, as the sea bed inshore seems to be paved with loads of fish in the 2lb to 4lb range.
The best cod caught was by Mistress regular Mark Wilky, weighing in at just under 6lb back at the Middle Earth Tavern for the weigh in.
Also Whitby and Mistress Regular John Vero caught a ling just under 11lb taking top spot in the Any Other Species Section in our uptiding festival.
The lads fished well, with the boat amassing around 80 cod for the day
Pictured is John Vero with hid Ling - well done mate View Boats Page

Another good day uptiding today.
The boat took between 40 & 50 Codlings to keep, with a few undersize throw backs. Local angler Damien Townsend fished today getting the biggest fish and bag weight on the boat, his fish was tad under 7lb and bag weight just under 22lb.
He took daily 2nd biggest fish, and daily biggest bag netting himself £50 in prize money from our Uptiding Festival.
We also took a very bright Ballan Wrasse today, it only weighed 2lb, but its nice to see different species showing up every now and then. It went back to fight another day!
Pictured is Jason from York with his Ballan Wrasse
The fishing will continue to be good as long as we can get to sea, and we will be fishing long after the Uptide competition comes to an end. I will only need a minimum of three anglers to sail, so if youre interested in a trip please drop me a line

Hi lads,
Just a quick note to let you know that I had confirmation today that I could use a mates boat for any work we get from now till our boat is ready in the new year.
I will be focusing primarily on ours for a week or so, getting things prepped for the first of the 2 new engines arriving. After that we can have a crack back out there. If you fancy a run off please feel free to give me a ring. We will as always need a minimum of 4 anglers to sail.
Cheers

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The boat was lifted out of the water this morning for a re-fit for 2014.
Amongst many of the jobs we have to do, we are fitting two new propulsion units for the start of next season.
Hopefully we will be back up and running before the end of January next year.
If anyone wants to have a trip whilst we are working on the Shy-Torque I'm hoping to have the use of another boat whilst we are high and dry, so please keep in touch and we'll try and get you all some cod for over the Xmas period!! I will gladly take a couple of days off to get you out there. It will be a nice break from the spanners!!
Just before we finished for the year we managed to get away on Friday and Saturday last week.
A mixed group on both days saw some steady fishing out on the 9 mile ground. Best angler taking a dozen or so fish away each day. The boat taking around 60 - 70 fish both days.
Graham Stansfield from Leeds is pictured.
Cheers for now
