Simon Blenkin and his 2 sons Jorge & Jack and their friend Paul joined us on our last trip out. Ron from Newcastle fished with us too.
The tides this last few days have been of the Spring veriety so we decided that a days uptiding was in order. We tried a couple of marks drift fishing up and over slack water at first with no action whatsoever so headed straight back to the uptiding marks inshore.
As soon as the anchor hit and the first bait was out we had bites. A lovely 5 hours fishing for the lads with codling coming aboard steadily.
Young Jorge and Paul were teamed up against his Dad Simon and Jack and they whipped them good style!!! Sorry lads but I just had to say!!! I thinks the count was something like 25 fish to 10. Well done lads.
Ron from Newcastle also taking a lovely bag of fillets home with him.
Always great to see the young guns having a go.
Cheers lads and look forward to seeing you all next time.

A fantastic forecast for the upcoming week lads. If you fancy a run out we will sail with a minimum of 3 anglers.
Also room next weekend. Individuals welcome as well as groups.

Some great inshore fishing to be had at the moment here at Whitby.
On our last trip out we had a great day on the cod with Bill Barraclough from Barnsley taking the best bag of the day with a dozen himself. He also took the best fish of the day at 5 lb 2 oz.
The tides are ideal for inshore fishing at present and with the forecast looking settled for the next few days including in to next week with a big high pressure over us, we're really looking forward to some more good sport.
We have 5 remaining places for tomorrow and for next Monday. Individuals as always, are very welcome indeed.
Cheers and tight lines

Rich Horobrov and a couple of his mates joined us the other day on their 1st trip of the year.
We ran to a couple of offshore wrecks of which one produced a few nice cod to 7lb and a few small ling. The other wreck produced very little at all to be honest.
We decided to run back inshore to finish off on the ground. They managed to boat another half dozen codling from there.

Give me a ring any time to arrange any trips. The mobile number below is always with me along with the diary.
The first competition is fast approaching (13th -28th April) where we still have room on a number of days.
Tight lines

Yesterdays lads were made up with their day at sea on the Shy-Torque III after an uncertain forecast the evening before.
4 of the group were staying in town the night before. The forecast was such that I said to them that because they were already here I would walk to the pier ends early morning and check the sea state to make sure we were good to go. The reason for this was because of an increasing swell from the North predicted with a decreasing wind for the day. Sometimes a difficult one to call. I told the other team who were booked with us the score and they decided to make the trip across from West Yorkshire on the morning. As daylight broke it was clear that the sea state was fine and we could make to sea for the day. (They had apparently overheard somewhere on the morning that there wouldn't be anyone sailing, but clearly whoever it was hadn't spent 40 minutes beforehand closely watching the sea!!)
We threw the ropes at 7.45 am and took the 8.0 am bridge at high water and made for a couple offshore wrecks.
The artificials never took a life all day but the bait fished well with the squid and frozen mackerel taking most of the fish on board. No monsters showing yet for us this year but with a lovely selection of cod from 4 lbs to just shy of 7 lbs for these lads, a really great day at sea for all on board.
LOOK!!!! Competition dates for this year are :-
Spring .................... April 13th -28th Inc.
Summer..................June 22nd- July 14th Inc.
Late Summer..........Sept 7th -Sept 22nd Inc.
Dates still available in all 3 events but the Summer ones are going quick!!!! Give us a ring to make and secure any bookings. As always, individuals are most welcome along with group bookings.
All 3 competitions carry some great cash prizes!!

A nice day at sea yesterday with a mixed group of lads. The fishing wasn't anything exceptional with only 25 or so fish caught.
The lads all enjoyed themselves and had a good laugh and were well pleased to get out on the pond.
Dermot Faye, one of our regular anglers is pictured with one of his fish. A lovely plump 4 lb winter codling.

The lads from around the Essex and London area had the last of their 3 days on Thursday last week. The forecast was perfect so we decided to have a good run offshore to a few marks. To be fair the fishing wasn't quite as good as I thought it would be with only 50 or so fish landed. I still think the storm the previous weekend was slowing the fishing up a little. The majority of the fish came on the bait including the best fish of the day which was a ling of 7 lbs caught by Roy which took the daily sweep. Obviously the sweep money was drank as soon as we got back to the pub!! Cheers Roy!
As always our Adam filleted the fish for the lads who were well pleased with the catch and what they were taking back with them.
Looking forward to the next time.
Cheers lads and good fishing wherever you go.

The London boys 2nd trip on Wednesday this week went really well with nigh on perfect conditions for working offshore.
We decided to have a run to the 20 mile and try some bits out there. After the severe weather we had last weekend I was honestly wondering whether the water was going to be clear enough and maybe we should have stayed inshore and uptided. When we pulled up and 4 out of the 5 rods went straight in we had our answer! Fish falling to both the bait and artificials.
The lads picked away nicely until home time and ended up with another good show of cod. Again, no big fish showing with best only nudging 5 lbs. 5 very happy lads though at the end of the day!

Our team from the South East, around the London area, joined us for the first of their 3 day block bookings on Tuesday this week.
Bernie, Roy, Joe, Rev & Mark decided to have a their first day working inshore with some uptiding. To be fair it was a good shout as the offshore breeze was still a bit fresh for working the offshore marks.
The lads worked their socks off all day and were rewarded for their efforts. Plenty of codlings for the table. Nothing big boated but with fish to just shy of 5 lbs, a good days sport.
We also had a good number of dog fish too which were quite nice to see for a change.
The lads are pictured inset with some of their catch.
Cheers and tight lines

The water is clear offshore at Whitby again lads !!!!!!!!
We had a run out to a couple of wrecks on the 18 - 20 mile range yesterday. The lads were catching straight away on the baited rigs and also on the artificials, Sidewinders, Shads etc...
Best bag went to Simon England from Barnsley with 15 fish.
No big fish were caught but a strong number of lovely plump winter cod to around 6.5 lbs.
The boat is being lifted from the water this afternoon (21st) and will be high and dry for a week. After that we will be back at it (weather permitting)
Fully booked Tues 29th Jan - Sat 2nd Feb.
Room for 3 on Sun 3rd Feb.
