Pinched another day between some poor weather yesterday with a mixed group of 8 lads.
We played around on the ground locally known as the "Highlights" pretty much all day and picked away at Codling and Ling. Fish falling to the bait and the lures too.
One of our more regular anglers, Bill Barraclough (fishes every other week!!!) was fishing with us and had the best catch with a dozen fish. I also had a dozen myself on the rhubard and custard shads. All in all, a very enjoyable day.
Spaces next week on Monday and Tuesday. Come and get some fish before Xmas!!!
Cheers and tight lines as ever

We keep squeezing a day or 2 in between the windy weather.
Last Saturday was our last day away. The weather wasn't the best to be perfectly honest and the tide was running a bit sharpish too but the lads worked hard and were rewarded with a sprinkling of cod and ling each.
A couple of "doubles" of codling on the baited rigs. Best fish on the boat was a cracking (for Whitby) Tub Gurnard caught by Neal Wadsworth from Halifax at 2 lb 13 oz.
Next weeks availability :-
Mon 19th Nov. Room for 4.
Tues 20th Nov. Room for 7.
Wed 21st Nov. Empty boat. ( Will sail with just 3 )
Cheers and tight lines

A real family feel on the boat yesterday. Simon Blenkin, his sons Jorge and Jack and friend Terry joined us after we had cancelled them for poor weather the day before.
We started the day on the 7 mile ground where we had had a decent couple of days last week. Not so good to start the day with just a couple of cod landed. We ventured out to the 9 mile where the lads started to pick up a few more fish including 1 lonely mackerel!!
Best fish of the day caught by young Jorge (10) A lovely plump cod of 8 lb 1 oz. A very happy young man indeed!!
The lads finished the day with over 100 lb of fish between them so all in all a very enjoyable days sport.
Pictured inset, the lads with some of their spoils.
See you again soon lads.
Cheers

A couple of decent days aboard the Shy-Torque Thursday and Friday this week. The forecast not really good enough to run off any distance so we worked the ground and a couple of wrecks around the 7 - 9 mile areas.
On Thursday we couldn't catch a fish on the artificials and everything was boated on the bait. On Friday we saw the fish taking the shads and sidewinders again. Never 2 days alike!!
Both days we boated around 40 cod and a dozen or so ling.
My son Adam having a good catch himself with 14 cod to 9 lbs and a couple of ling on the Friday.

This last weekend fished very well indeed for both Saturdays and Sundays teams.
We had a mixed group aboard the boat on Saturday. All regular anglers from as far afield as Birmingham and Barnsley. We fished a wreck around 17 miles to start the day off where the lads picked around 25 fish from it.
We moved back inshore a bit then, where the lads picked steadily for the rest of the day on the rough ground. Best rod on the day was Simon England from Leeds who ended up with 15 fish with a mixture of Cod, Ling, and Pollack.
Sunday saw a team of 7 taking the boat for the day. Phil Walker and his mates from around the Hornsea area joined us where we fished around the 9 mile ground for the first few hours with a steady picking of Cod and Ling being boated. With the forecast set to increase by mid afternoon we moved to a strip of ground on the 7 mile where we found some much better Cod and Ling. Cod to 11.5 lbs and Ling to 12 lbs were landed along with a good number of Pollack to just over 8 lb. A great days sport for all.
Sadly, the forecast is set to be rubbish all this week so time for a few maintenance jobs on the boat. Hopefully the weather will improve for next weeks anglers.
We do have some spaces left on a couple of the days.
Tuesday 30th October - Room for 4 anglers.
Thursday 1st November - Room for 4 anglers.
Cheers and tight lines as ever!

To say the weather here at Whitby has been anything but crap for the last 6 weeks would be a lie! Never known anything like it to be honest.
The September comp was a complete washout with just 4 days taken at sea and 12 days cancelled !!
On the days we managed, we did see some decent fish boated on the Shy-Torque III. Mark Konarski boated the heaviest cod in the comp at a shade under 14 lbs and Alan Sutcliffe landed the 3rd overall heaviest fish in the comp, a ling of 14 lb 2 oz. Well done to those two with their fish. Thank you to all those who were booked with us and just so sorry we couldn't get you to sea for a crack at the prize money. Better weather next year hopefully!
Next years (2019) competition dates are now ready and are below :-
Spring :- April 13th - 28th inc.
Summer :- June 22nd - July 14th inc.
Late Summer :- Sept 7th - 22nd inc.
The boat will be, as always, working through the winter months. Just a week or so out of the water for maintenance.
Take a look at the availability calendar on the websites.

The September competition started here at Whitby last weekend (Saturday)
Darren Bradley and his mates from Derby had the boat booked for the weekend.
We targeted the mackerel at the start of the day which were plentiful. Enough for the bait stocks for the day on the 1st couple of drifts.
We moved out to some ground to start the day as the drift was a bit too quick for the wrecking job and the lads picked around a dozen codling on the bait and the shads. As the tide eased we had a run to a wreck a bit further off to hit it at slack water and into the change of tide. The majority of them were shad fishing with a couple on the bait. They managed around 50 fish between them, the best fish falling to Hadrian with a cod around 7 lbs.
No big fish were boated on the day but all the lads had a really enjoyable day. Sadly we lost the Sunday to bad weather . Our Adam filleted all the fish down for the lads on the way back in.
The lads are pictured inset.
Just 2 days left with any room now in the competition.
They are :-
Thursday 27th. Room for 9.
Friday 28th. Room for 2. -

The last week here at Whitby has seen very mixed fortunes for our anglers.
Some days we have scratted around for very little indeed. Other days we have found a few. We are reckoning that this is due to the amount of feed in the water at present (millions of mackerel at the moment) The amount of Minke whales feeding is incredible.
On Tuesday last week we counted 30 at one point, all working in a 1 mile square. Hundreds of Gannets were also working the area too. It was like watching a Natural World programme on telly!
We have caught fish every time we have sailed but some days have been poor and others have been ok when we have got clear of the feed areas. (I do like to give a true and honest report of things)
Yesterday, we had one of our sponsors on board. Bob Ellis from "Focus Training"and his friend Richard chartered the boat just for themselves. With fantastic conditions we had a good run offshore for a change to see what things were like out there.
A slow start at first, but as the morning progressed the fishing came on really strong. By midday the lads had a couple of boxes of cod on board and at the end of the day they had over 200 lbs of fish!!
No big cod landed. The best fish falling to Richard at around 7 lbs.
A great days sport, great company and lovely weather too.

The fishing continues to be really good this week here at Whitby.
Sadly, the next few days are looking like being cancelled due to inclement weather.
Tony Porter and his mates joined us the other day along with some other lads and they had a cracker of a day working the grounds 3 or 4 miles off. A good number of doubles coming to the boat too.
Top rod for the day was Sean with 15 cod, a pollack and a couple of ling. A nice days work!
Best fish of the day, a lovely cod of 12 lb 8 oz by Jim Arthur from Blackburn.
All their fish nicely filleted at the end of the day by our Adam who will gladly do any of your fish for the price of a pint or 2 !!!!
Cheers and tight lines wherever your fishing
