Simon Nutall and some of his friends joined the boat on the 5th August and had a very pleasant days fishing.
No vast amounts of fish it has to be said but a cracking day weather wise with each of the lads leaving with plenty for the table and freezer.

Mixed fortunes as ever over the Spring tide period. Some good days, some not so good days, but as ever, we endeavour to try and meet the expectations of our ever loyal crews on the Shy-Torque.
Hats off to the boys who fish these rather "heavy" tides, and again, those who are prepared to work extra hard on them are rewarded with a good bag of fish to take.
Ted Sabin, a regular aboard the boat, showed the rest of the lads the way home the other day with a lovely bag of 14 cod and 3 ling. Alan Sutcliffe, his mate, with a similar number too.
Ted is pictured with a couple of his fish.

Had 5 lads booking the boat for today. Phil Parkes and his mates from west Yorkshire.
A weather forecasters nightmare I'm sure here on the East coast for today's forecast. Some saying no wind, others giving a fresh NE breeze. Last forecast at 6pm last night said we go, so we had the lads through.
The breeze was a little more than predicted this morning but our seasoned anglers decided that we should give it a go seeing as they were already in town. Some skippers thought that we were "Dick Turpins" ( 5 boats sailed and some got the whole day in with a terrific catch) but when your lads have been going to sea nearly as long as me and know the score then we can only oblige and hopefully find a few!
2 hours angling on the rough ground only 3 miles offshore resulted in the boys collecting over 20 codling between them which they were very happy with indeed. Another few trips trip booked on the strength of it !!!
The lads are pictured with a few of their codling.
Happy fishing!!

American Tim Maas and his friends from Cambridgeshire joined us the other day and experienced some steady fishing on a stiff NW breeze which hindered the efforts somewhat!!!
First timer Tim and pals gathered around 60 fish for the day which was cut short due to the conditions. The lads tried really hard for their fish which was to be admired. Regularly winding back to the boat when the lines lifted too far certainly paid off for them. Proving the age old point, "The harder you work, the more fish you will catch"
Tight lines as ever

The cod fishing here at Whitby continues to be great.
The group on board today were a mixed lot coming from all directions on the compass!
We came across some really good ground fishing yesterday on the 9 mile and returned there again today to find it was fishing even better. The stamp of cod was much better too with fish nudging just over 14lbs.
We tried for 3 weeks in the Summer comp to get fish like this without success this year and the very day after it's over...................... HA!!!!! Ah well, that's the great thing about the game. You never know.
I would just like to congratulate my life long mate of 40 years, Paul Eddon, Skipper on the Whitby charter boat Trot-On, on his great win in this years Summer comp. Fantastic result mate. WELL DONE to you and Mick Leonard who caught the cracking winning fish. A superb Ling of 24lbs 2oz. Mick wins £5000.00 in cash for his fish!!! I'm sure Paul will be getting a beer or 2 out of it!!!
Todays biggest fish on the Shy-Torque is pictured with its captor John Rowley from Rotherham. A lovely cod of 14lbs 1oz.
Come and grab some great sport whilst it's here!!

Some cracking days and some not so cracking days of late!!
The not so cracking days fortunately have been few and far between as the fishing on the Shy-Torque continues to be generally very good.
The Summer competition comes to a close this coming weekend so the boys who are booked will be going at it big time to try and crack the current leading fish.
The best day for us this last week or so was last Friday where the lads took well in excess of 130 fish between themselves. The day started out superbly with our first stop of the day lasting all morning. Cod to just over 8lb were recorded and ling to just over the 9lb mark. Not big enough to contend for the lead in the comp but some great sport never the less.
David Noakes was among the split team and he managed a very credible 25 fish himself at the end of the day. Doesn't really get a lot better to be fair!!
David is pictured with his mornings catch. Another dozen or so fell to his rod in the afternoon too!!

The fishing remains very good at the moment lads. Some good ground fishing to be had and also some good sport on the wrecks.
We have started our sharking missions now too. Sadly none boated as yet, but we have had a couple of "Runs" We also had one swimming around the boat on the last trip so signs are good. If you fancy a go for them give me a ring to arrange a trip.
The Summer competition started here at Whitby on Saturday just gone. Massive cash prizes on offer again this year with the top prize standing at £5000.00!! Last year the boys on the Shy-Torque took 2nd, 3rd and 4th heaviest fish overall, plus the heaviest cod caught too at over 20lbs! Stacks of daily prizes won too.
We have a couple of days left with room in this years comp.
They are :- Wed 1st July. Room for 5.
Fri 3rd July. Room for 1.
Mon 6th July. Room for 5.
Come and join us for a slice of the action!
Tight lines as ever

Still appears to be holding in better quantities on the ground at the moment.
