    Report on-board Mistress

    Had to cancel today with poor weather - yet again!

    Winter is only just round the corner now, with prospects for uptiding still looking good. Remember there is a competition running 10th to 18th November with £1000 up for grabs!

    The last three days at sea we have seen plenty of fish aboard Mistress, with a lift in tides to springs I have concentrated more on finding a few cod, I feel that the shads fish a bit better on the bigger tides as long as we have clear water. The lads have been heading for home with upto and over dozen Cod per person. Most of the fish have been in the 3lb to 5lb range, with a few pushing 7 or 8lb.

    We have dropped onto the wrecks going to, over and out of slack water finding a few Ling hoping for a better one to poke his head out! we managed another decent one on the 15th, Mistress regular Mark Storey got one which weighed in at 14lb 9oz, unfortunately he just got knocked into 4th place on the daily board, only missing it by a lb or so.

    Still plenty of mackerel showing here at whitby too.
