A slow start to the fishing yesterday for the lads. However, after a move out to an offshore wreck, they started picking a few fish up. Nothing big landed but a nice picking at the end of the day. Squid and mackerel baits doing the business again.
"Possibility" of another window in the weather tomorrow so if you fancy a day out give me a ring on 07733 233 352.
Cheers

Sunday just gone was a half decent day for the mixed group we had on board.
We focused on the ground/reef fishing as the tides had taken a jump overnight. The lads worked hard for their efforts and all managed a few cod/ling each. The water still being a bit cloudy after the recent Northerly , all the fish fell to the squid and mackerel baits.
We are lifting the boat from the water on December 2nd for some overdue work, a new deck and a few other small jobs. Hoping to have her sorted for the end of January. If you fancy a run with us befor then give me a call.
Cheers for now.

After a fairly stiff Northerly for a day or two nothing too startling yesterday for the lads.
We fished around the 5, 7 and 9 mile areas. A sprinkling of codling between them with the best fish going just shy of 10lbs for Richard from Knaresborough. Enjoyable day never the less although a tad chilly!!
All the fish boated were to the baited rigs, mainly falling to the squid.
Cheers

A mixture of fish over the day with cod, pollack, gurnard, whiting, mackerel and coaley.

Last day of their 3 days today for Joe, Bernie, Chris, Paul and Gareth from the South East, London area.
We decided to stay and fish the inshore marks again, anchored and uptiding/ downtiding. A much slower day than yesterday with only around 20 keepers boated and a further 15 or so returned.
The lads were fishing peeler crab, squid and lug worm again. A few Bull seals were hampering our efforts for the best part of the day and probably hampered the catch rate. A bonus lobster today for Gareth which was returned as it was a female carrying eggs.
Cheers for now.

Joe, Bernie, Paul, Gareth and Chris's second day of 3 today and we decided to have a day in the shallows working the uptiding/downtiding method.
A 5 minute steam to the ground was great for the lads and they were well happy with their catch for the day with numbers of cod boated well in to the 80's.
Around 60 keepers for the table. As ever when uptiding/downtiding, every fish today was caught on the bait. The squid and lugworm doing the business.
Cheers for now and tight lines

Our lads from the South East arrived in Whitby yesterday.
Joe Blackham, Bernie, Gareth, Paul & Chris joined us on the first day of their annual 3 day visit to Whitby.
We worked some rough ground 15 miles East of the harbour all day where the lads picked away nicely. Cod, Ling, Pollack, Coaley and the usual small stuff being boated.
All the fish fell to the baited Pennel and Hokkai rigs, not a fish on the artificails. The poor weather this last weekend colouring the water a bit it seems. A nice visit by a pod of dolphins was a nice sight for the lads too.
The lads fancy a spot of uptiding today so we'll see how we go on.
A few of their catch in the picture.

The winner of the September angling competition visited Whitby the other day to collect his £1000.00 cash prize
Nigel Hall from East Cowton won the event (his 2nd win this year!) with a cracking ling of 24 lb 3 oz caught on the Shy-Torque III
He caught the fish on a cocktail of mackerel and squid used on one of his home made rigs. His rig was 120 lbs mono. We were working a wreck 12 miles North of Whitby when he dragged the fish out on the very first day of the event!
A massive thankyou as ever to our continuing sponsors "Mr Chips" and our new sponsors, the "Star Inn" public house.
Nigel is pictured outside the Star Inn collecting his money. Well done mate.
Tight lines

A slow day for the best part of the for the lads on Sunday just gone. However we did come across a few fish over slack water again .
The lads ended up with around 35 fish for the day. Again, all the fish falling to the bait. Hokkai traces and pennel rigs baited with mackerel and squid.
Cheers for now
