    Report on-board Mistress

    The weather gods were semi kind to us this weekend here at ‪Whitby‬. We managed to fish both Saturday and Sunday, the wind direction and strength made the boat wonder a bit at anchor, but with perseverance we found the ‪Mistress‬ anglers a few fish!!!

    Saturday was hard work despite moving around lots of ledges, gulleys and ridges, we finished up with 25 cod for the day plus a couple of Ling, Coalie, Poutings and Whitings,

    Sunday I worked a different area, when we first arrived the wind was very fresh making bite detection hard, so I got the lads to let off plenty of line and hold the rods the same as we do when fishing from the shore, Bingo! the fish were at us within minutes and we started taking a steady picking of fish,

    Slack water was slow, as always, we managed maybe 4 or 5 cod, then I moved to a ledge that has served me well for the start of the flood, I was a bout to give up when we'd not had a bite, then suddenly all the rods started going, we were getting 2 or 3 rods in at a time, and had a good afternoon,

    Again nothing massive to report, the biggest went maybe 6lb most in the 2lb-4lb bracket, and a few chuck backs, the best angler took 14, the rest of the lads managing 8-9 fish apiece so we ended up with just over 50 cod for the day.

    We are now taking bookings for the season, and the good tides are starting to fill up, we usually finish ‪uptiding‬ around march and then start back ‪‎wrecking‬ as water clarity allows.

    If you fancy a trip me, give me a shout on 07977 436903, e-mail me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on my Facebook page Mistress Sea Angling Charters,
