    Report on-board Sea Otter 2

    Once again with a decent forcast it was chances to out uptiding the lads were keen as mustard we had all the baits onboard you could think of squid,mussel ,cart fresh yellowtails you name we had but the biggist fish fell to squid and worm but cart certainly did damage again most of the fish were over 5lb the best over 8lb but quite a few between 6-7lb all in all it wasnt thick and fast the morning on the ebb was little slow but come afternoon on the flood the fish came on with lovelly sized cod and we were only 400yds on saltwick nab .
    The best lad on board had 10 codling betwenn 5-7lb not bad uptiding and great sport on light gear.

    This man took the sweep with 8lb fish

    With a break in the weather i had a team of lads on who love the uptiding so with the forcast being fine i told the lads plenty of squid and blacks for the session the fishing was very steady most of the with 90% of the cod between 6-8lb a very good stamp of fish seeing you are only fishing 500 yds from the cliff bottoms and with no steaming time what a better way to relax , the best fish of the day was 10lb 2 oz a nice size fish but as isaid most fish were between 6-8lb the lads were over the moon.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The wrecking trips of late have been exceptional here at Whitby ( when we've managed to get off for the weather !! ) Plenty of good size cod to be taken. All the cod taken on the shads with the water being as clear as I've ever seen it in November for years. Hopefully away in the morning again as we have a small window in the weather.
    Pictured is Jim Arthur from Darwin in Blackburn with a couple of his better fish of the day.

    Winer uptiding is well underway here at whitby with double figure cod now showing plus there are stacks of cod between 3-6 lb also being taken wrecking is also doing well but the weather is hindering but as whitby does every winter the uptiding still gives the guys good cod fishing and only minuites from the harbour.

    One of the lads from blackpool with a nice plump cod just over 10lb the lads had a bumper day with plenty of cod between 3-6lb they will be back.

  • 21/11/2011 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    21 Nov 2011 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    The winter uptide festival is underway and we managed a day at sea with a couple of regular lads who had been looking forward the day for months.
    We got under the bridge at 8am and headed towards one of Whitby's popular uptiding marks just a couple of miles up the coast off sandsend.
    The lads had bought a mate with them so we had three anglers fishing the competition with us today, they had some quality bait with them too, fresh lug, frozen black lug, mussel, squid, cart and a few peelers.
    It paid off for the lads having all that good bait, within minutes af settling into anchor everyone was getting bites and few codlings starting coming over the gunnels.
    About an hour in, one of the lads John said he'd hooked soemthing a bit better, and seeing as it was staying deep it looked a bit better stamp of fish, when we got it in the hook just slipped out its mouth, so lucky there! it took the scales round to about 7 1/2lb which is nice fish by any standards. The fishing continued to be quite good until the tide eased and the fish went right off the feed. We upped anchor and moved to another mark which we hoped might have a bit of tide running but it was quiet so we moved back to the other mark for the start of the tide, the fish seemed slow coming back on but they did, and one of the lads managed around another 6 fish before home time. Andy cod-catcher Stonehouse managed around a dozen fish for the day all between 2 and 5lb, the other lads managed around half a dozen fish each too upto 6lbas well as the 7lber.
    Back at the weigh-in we were delighted to learn that John had the heaviest cod of the day making him £50 for his efforts, also being a new uptide PB for him.
    Pictured is John with his daily winning fish.

    19 Nov 2011 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    With a settled spell recently and the water clarity good, the lads wanted to have a crack at the wreck and ground fishing today. The tide was fairly small so was perfect, the only thing against us would be the southerly wind which threatened to push us along a bit too fast on the ebb tide in the afternoon.
    Well, 1st stop was a wreck at only 3 miles, we hit a ball of fish taking a few off it and losing a few, all nice conditioned cod, all around the 5lb mark.
    the mark slowed off so we moved around taking the odd fish until we arrived on the 8 mile ground. Moving between marks we passsed over a huge feed mark, I went around it & set up the drift for the lads - Bingo! all rods straight into fish! some of the lads pulling in 2 or 3 fish on the same rig, we continued to fish this mark until the tide eased off and it went off the feed. we moved around trying a few more marks but the fish were a bit ellusive. As the ebb got away the drift increased even though we tried more marks it was proving hard to nail a few fish. Finally it was home time, and the lads had had a good day considering the time of year and conditions, between the five of them they managed 4 boxes of quality fish, Cod to 8lb, Ling to 14lb, with another slightly lighter ling of 11lb but still in double figures.
    Pictured are the lads with some of their catch
