Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The cod fishing here at Whitby is getting better by the day with some good bags of fish for most of our anglers on the Shy-Torque.
The crystal clear water inshore now means that we are able to get a great days sport within minutes of leaving the harbour.
The 3 mile ground is now producing some lovely fishing with a good stamp of fish coming aboard most days now.
Richard Lodder and a couple of his mates from Chesterfield joined us the other day and enjoyed some great cod fishing on the boat.
Richard is pictured with one of his better fish.

Report on-board Mistress
This past week has been a productive one here at Whitby. We have seen good catches most days we put to sea when the conditions are suitable for us.
One of the better days last week saw a good number of double figure fish coming over the gunnels.
we took Cod of 12lb 8oz, 14lb 8oz and 18lb, plus a couple of 6lbers all in one drift! it was like stepping back 10 years!
With it being a small tide the slack water period was a little longer than normal so we took the opportunity to get some big baits into the wrecks too taking a good number of Ling into double figures too.
We had our second sharking trip too, we got a tentative bite halfway through the day which we waited for to develop, but never did, we wound in an empty hook! Then 20 mins toward the end of the session we got a positive run, the ratchet on the reel screaming off - it is exciting stuff when that happens! unfortunately we never hooked up, but we will be returning the sharking grounds on the next set of appropriate tides to try and get one on board for a cuddle!
All in all its been a good week.

Today saw Peter Bloom from Pickering join us again for his annual sharking trip of the year.
Peter is the marine biologist at Flamingo Land Zoo nr Pickering. This was to be his 4th attempt at catching a shark here from Whitby. After boating 5 shark so far this year on 3 trips I was feeling very confident that Pete was going to have his break today.
The last couple of years have seen his attempts be hampered by crappy weather and today was no exception!
We sailed on a fairly good forecast and managed to reach the favoured grounds by around 9.30 (slack water time ) This is usually the best time for us here at Whitby ( today was different ) The weather was nothing like predicted and hampered us no end. A very stiff S/E wind over tide, lines getting caught in the screws etc etc.... the list went on....... Unhappy skipper until 12.30pm when we had our first take.
Nigel Hall my crew man for the day had spotted a fin break on the surface whilst mackerel fishing and reported back to me. With baits checked and extra chum going over the side we waited. Thankfully we had to wait little more than 5 minutes before the fish took hold. Pete took hold of the rod and played what seemed to be a fairly small fish. After around 15 minutes we actually caught sight of the fish. Obviously I was thinking it was going to be a small fish after getting it to the boat so quickly. WRONG!!
When the fish saw the boat ( or Pete! ) it immediately turned and dived some 75 mtrs in no time and just sat there on the bottom. Bigger than we thought for sure!
He wrestled with the fish for some 45 minutes, actually getting it quite close to the boat when " OH F**K " was muttered. The fish had slipped the hook and Pete was left staggered and in awe with what had just happened... me too!!
We re-chummed for the last couple of hours without success and called it a day. Bugger, bugger, bugger.
Nothing more annoying than losing a fish, especially one of these fine creatures.
Pete is coming back for yet another attempt next year and hopefully his 5th will prove to be the one!
Whilst we were sharking he was also doing a bit of bottom fishing and just happened upon a very nice cod of 13lb 1oz..... BONUS !!!
Pete is pictured. View Boats Page

Some lovely cod starting to show at last here at Whitby.
The 9 mile ground proving to be a very successful area for a better fish or 2.
Jamie Britton joined a mixed crew last week and had a cracking days sport with ling to 13lb and cod to 12lb 14oz.
We have all been waiting for the water to clear here at Whitby and it sure has now, but strangely enough most of the fish caught this day was on the bait. Mainly the baited hokkai traces.
No rules in this game even when the clarity is like Gin!!
Jamie is pictured with his best cod of 12lb 14oz.
