Report on-board Shy-Torque III
05.05.13.
Gary Hurling and his lads from Boston Lincs had their first trip of the year today. Once they had boarded I informed them what the inshore fishing had been like for some of the charter fleet here over the last few days.
I suggested that we returned to the "Wall" where we had been getting the best results of any of the boats on the last few trips
Gary said it was a no brainer and we went straight there. With the weather being on our side again ( a beautiful flat calmer ) surely we were destined for top results today!!
A steady picking of fish from the start with the size mark being slightly better than on the last visit out there.
The lads were well chuffed with their catch. The hard work really paying off with a good selection of fish ranging from a Tub Gurnard just short of 2lb ( of which I've never seen one as big for years ) to Cod to 12lbs.
Fantastic weather for the lads making for another good days sport on the Shy-Torque III

Fishing Report by Rich Ward

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
26.04 13.
Rob Smith and his team joined us board the boat on the 26th April.
With the fishing here at Whitby being somewhat "patchy" shall we say on the inner marks, we have been working offshore to try and find the fish.
We cruised out to a couple of wrecks on the 20 mile stream for very little and decided that we would go to the ground that can usually save the day. That being the "Wall"
Judging by what the other lads were catching inside us this had definately proved to be a good move indeed.
By close of play the lads had gathered a few fish each for the table. 40 or so fish for the boat. Sadly no monsters but a nice few Codling, Pollack and Coalie to the 5lb mark.
Great weather and a great team of lads making the day very enjoyable for all.

Report on-board Avante
had a great weekend over the bank holiday with the alge bloom hindering the in shore fishing I steamed off to find clear water and some nice big fish
On Saturday Karl Dave Nico and Mark made up a individual bookings so we had plenty of room to say the least with just four (the minimum I could take to make it worth while for me anyway) once we arrived we were into fish Pollock Cod and some nice big ones to 10lb we all fished shad most of the day and although the sea was choppy it fell away to give us a great afternoon the forecasters got it right hurray!
Sunday I had just four bookings again forum member Jonty came with his pal Kevin and new to me were Simon and his wife Chrissie same plan steam off but a much nicer start weather wise the fishing was a little slower although the water looked much clearer? Still plenty of fish on the go Chrissie was first to strike then again and again she had three or four before any of the others had seen a life but eventually all ended up with some nice fish and yours truly landed a good strong Cod over 10lb which fell to the shad
Monday the boat had 7 anglers aboard Bob Richard Paul and Sam made up a three and Simon came with his dad and another sorry for the names I forgot again many forum members I employed the same plan with the best forecast of the holiday weekend we set sail in the sun and returned in the sun we had much better stamp generally and more fish for some reason the water was green agin but changed depending on tide strength during the day I think Richard had the best day bait fishing most of the day he landed some crackers and a best Pollock around 12lb a guess as my scales were broken as the fish was only showing 2lbs on the digital read the fishes head would have weighed nearly a pound so in the bin they went then some big double figure cod finished of with a few nice ling
Simon also had some great fish in his bag at the end of the day as did all the rest of the lads
Simon
in all good signs that the summer inshore fishing is only round the corner

Report on-board Mistress
Fishing is definately on the turn here at Whitby.
Craig and his pals from Network Rail in Manchester had some nice fish today.
Graham landed the biggest fish of the season so far aboard Mistress - An absolutely belting 26lb Ling.
It came from a distant wreck some 2 1/2 hour steam away from port. Caught on squid bait just as the flood tide started pushing.
Graham was using our Daiwa Hire tackle kindly donated by Daiwa earlier this year.
It consisted of a 20/30 Sea Hunter and a Slosh 30 multiplier
Well done Graham

Report on-board Mistress
We have had a fantastic day today at sea,
The weather has been as close to summer as it gets!
The fishing was a bit slow through the day while we searched for a few fish, we worked our way offshore stopping on a few wrecks on the way taking the odd fish from them as we went.
Luckily the last wreck we stopped on threw up a good few fish for the lads, giving us a mad hour and Deano (my crewman) a bit of a workout with the net! we had fish up to 10lb in weight,
The lads left with a good bag of fish each with some nice conditioned early season fish amoung them.
The water is definately clearing, with us nailing some good fish this week each day we have been.
Pictured are todays lads with some of their fish, they couldnt pose with them all!

Report on-board Mistress
We managed a day at sea today, and finally something worth reporting! the fishing here at Whitby has been a bit patchy of late, there appears to be signs of the water clearing at last.
Although we never caught masses of fish today we manged to locate a few on one of the reefs here at Whitby on blue and white shads.
The signs are there for the water beginning to clear out for the summer shadding.
We still have some dates available in June and July - considered the best months for cod fishing here at Whitby - If you fancy a trip drop me an Email at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or call me on 07977 436903
Cheers

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
The forcast today was for a stiff southwesterly wind the lads were keen to wet a line so i told them ankhor down was the only option to much wind to go wrecking i was quitely confident after the northerly swell yesterday and a very big tide we might just get a shock my hunch was right .
Local lad perry franklin was onboard the uptiding master with his baits if anything was about he would allmost defernetly locate them and sure enough lines went in a couple of minuites later perry was shouting for the net and by the way his rod was bouncing i new it was a good fish.
The lads fished steady till the wind started to really howl and with slack water beckoning we decided to call it a day a lovelly surprize uptiding was good in april last winter it looks like its going into may this year.
Perry with his fish a really nice cod. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Rich Ward

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A group of lads from around the North East joined us yesterday. The fishing was far from easy but we did manage to find a few in the end.
We steamed out to 3 wrecks 18 miles NE of Whitby to start the day and pulled around 25 fish off them. Nothing of any real size though. We had a couple of drops on the 9 mile ground on our return and had half a dozen more codling there, which is very encouraging!!
One of the lads actually managed a treble on one drop!! A major improvement on the last couple of months. Things are finally starting to go in the right direction and the Algea seems to be thinning out at long last. This Winter seems to have been never ending!!
The big fishing is literally just around the corner here at Whitby. Have a look at the availability calendar and give me a call for a chat anytime.
Pictured is Andy from Thornaby with one of his codling.
Happy fishing

Saturday and sunday just gone were last two days in the spring festival but what contrast between the two days saturday saw for the lads on sea-otter 2 have nice and steady days fishing squid and shads did the buisness the lads had about 40 codlings in total thats a good days fishing at the moment with the heavy algie bloom yesterday sunday was as hard as you will get it unbelivable the difference in fishing between the two days.
Saturdays lads were my regulars who have fished with me for many years and the weather was also probably one of the best days this year upto now some of the lads were even down to t-shirts the best fish went about 8lb we didnt sent it to the scales as on the radio i heard 3 or 4 more just slightly bigger a bit unlucky we didnt nail a double considering the amount of fish the lads caught but thats fishing most of the fish werent big but the lads were well happy.
