Fishing Report by Carl Farrar

Friday saw us on Alliance again for another trip out with Skipper Shaun Elwick and once again he showed why he is one of the most respected skippers in Whitby, From the first drift on a wreck on the 5 mile we were into fish. With the Algae bloom clearing by the day Shads have started fishing better with Rhubarb and custard sidewinders being the prefered ones to use. I managed 3 codling to about 5lb from the first 6 drifts. Then it was time for a move onto another wreck for Slack water. Shaun told us to fire some bait into the wreck and this paid dividends with my mate Perry landing a 9lb ling which he was over the moon with, as this took the boat sweep All together there must have been a good 60 fish caught by the 5 anglers aboard. We also managed to bag a few Mackerel on the way back in as well for the BBQ so overall a great day out with a Great Skipper on a top boat. What more can you ask for? (Maybe a bit of sunshine....) I can't wait for my next trip out aboard Alliance

Wednesday was another GREAT day fishing aboard Alliance, Whitby's latest addition to the Charter fleet . From stepping aboard at the start of the day the Banter was free flowing just as much as the free tea and coffee supplied by Skipper Shaun Elwick. The Ex-lifeboatman and Whitby local has over 35 years experience fishing out of Whitby and that showed from the way he put us onto the fish from the first drop. When the tide started running again we moved onto some ground on the 5 mile mark and true to his word Shaun found the fish again. with baited hookki's doing the damage Even with the difficult fishing conditions of late due to the Algae bloom being in full swing we still managed several species of fish including Cod to 8 lb, Ling to 6lb, Pollack, Pouting and Whiting, No Mackerel showing as yet though.
Shaun supplied 2 of the lads with the boats NEW top quality hire tackle Sonic rods and Shimano TLD reels these two first time anglers (Sorry lads I can't remember your names) had a great time and booked to come back next month as they have now caught the fishing bug.
