    Report on-board Mistress

    Even given the small tides here at Whitby this weekend, we still produced the good for our anglers here on Mistress.

    On saturday we had Preston Sea Angling Club with us, it was a slow start due to the tide taking its time getting going, but once it did with a few moves we found some steady sport. losing a few to a stealthy seal we never saw!
    Nothing massive landed, the biggest went around 7lb 8oz for Nigel.
    In total we took 30 codlings for the day. plus plenty of pouting and whiting.

    the best bait was worm and squid, this combo has by far been the most consistent this winter!

    Monday we sailed again with only 4 lads onboard booked in at last minute,
    We headed the other direction and caught the last of the ebb tide, getting straight into the fish.
    we lost one to a seal that must have been sat under the boat! the lad with the net got a bit of a fright!
    Again steady fishing produced over 30 cod for the lads, the best angler taking 14 cod.

    We got a surprise Doggy, we dont get many off our shores so always welcome. pleanty fo pouting and whitings too.

    best bait again worm and squid.

    Pictured is Matt Breen from York with a nice brace of Cod caught on Monday, well done mate, we can always count on you to whistle a few out!
