We've spent the last 4 days on sharking missions. Sadly no big boys in town yet but some fabulous fishing whilst we tried for them. Some good quality fish to 8lb among them too.
On the 36 hour shark trip on Wednesday and Thursday this week Rich Furness and his mate Graham gathered over 200 cod between them (at anchor!!) They'll be eating fish till this time next year!!
Still a couple of dates left this month and next if you fancy bagging a few yourselves.
Cheers and tight lines as ever,

A group of lads travelled 5 1/2 hours to try and get a slice of this terrific action we're experiencing here at whitby at present.
American Joe Scott and his 7 U.S mates from Hastings joined the boat at 9am for a later than normal start. This was to give the latest weather system a chance to move out and also to ease the travelling times for themselves.
We steamed to the strip of ground I worked on Saturday just gone and as soon as we arrived the rods were bouncing! Steady fishing all day long kept a smile on the lad's faces. Again, nothing big to report but with well in excess of 120 fish to 6lb on board, yet another cracking day for the Shy-Torque crew.

The amount of fish here at Whitby at the moment is fantastic and the best part about it is it's right on our doorstep!!
Since the last report here on CBUK the lads have enjoyed some really quite amazing sport. Most of the fish are of a similar stamp around the 3lb to 5lb mark which is a great size for the pan!!
Yesterdays crew were two groups and a single making up the full boat. Eric Davison's group from the West Riding, Chris Booth's lads from the North East and single angler Steve Bulliment from East Yorkshire.
The day started off relatively slow compared to the last few trips but this was down to the WNW breeze against the tide which almost held the boat at a standstill. Not good for the ground fishing which is where we have been seeing the best results of late. So we decided to drop on a couple of wrecks for just a hand full of fish apiece. As the breeze eased away I decided that a run off a bit further was in order and popped out to a strip of ground unknown to many, some 8 miles from the harbour. This was like a trip down memory lane for me as I hadn't been there for over a year!! As soon as we stopped on the first feed mark and all the gear hit the bottom I knew we were in for a good time. Every rod on the boat bent in to fish. Bingo!!!
Shads and baited Hokkai's taking the bulk of the fish which were coming on board in trebles at one point!!
We managed 6 drifts across the ridge where we took over 100 cod!! A terrific end to what looked like being a fairly standard sort of day at the beginning. We'll be straight back there again as soon as this nasty bit of weather passes.
We only have one day left in June now where the boat is empty. This is the 16th June.
There are 3 dates left in June with spaces for individuals or small groups.
These are :-4th June (6 places)

Some regular faces aboard the boat yesterday making up a mixed group of 10 anglers.
With conditions nigh on perfect we decided to make a start on some fairly inshore wrecks. The first couple didn't produce too much with around 15 fish or so off the pair. The 3rd however did show signs of a reasonable fishing on both the artificials and the bait where the lads took around 30 more fish.
I decided to try a couple of inshore wrecks in the "shallows" next, working in just over 30 meters of water. The first of the 2 produced a dozen or so. Our best cod of the day coming off that one, weighing a shade over 8.5lbs. Josh from Leeds enjoying some exciting sport with that one!! This was his 2nd trip ever and was overjoyed with his fish!! The 2nd of the 2 in the shallower produced very little where I guessed the water was just too mucky.
We finished off on the rough ground just 3 miles from the harbour where we raked another 12 or so small codling to round the day off. All in all a very enjoyable day with the best catch on board going to Derek Wiggins from Leeds with 18 cod. He caught all but one of his fish on a single jig.
Cheers lads and happy fishing as ever.

Some superb action for the lads aboard the boat on all the trips since the last report lads. Some of them walking off with well into double figure amounts!!
This weeks lads have seen some slightly better size coding on the ground on the 9 mile. Nothing startling big but nice meaty codling to around 7lb. They really are starting to pile the weight on now.
Not many days left in June now so if you fancy a trip, best get your bookings made sharpish!!
Check the availability calendar to see what's left. The calendar is here on this site and also on my personal website at www.shy-torque2000.com

Cheers and happy fishing wherever ya are!!

15.05.2015.
A fabulous change in fortunes from the day before for the lads on the boat. A perfect flat calm morning welcoming us.
Chris Parkin and his 7 mates from Leeds joined the boat for the usual 7.0am start.
7 out of the 8 were relatively new to the game so an exercise in ground fishing was definately in order to start the day. A 20 minute steam to the first mark arriving at 7.30am
We dropped back on the ground on the 5 mile where we've been seeing some exceptional fishing of late. The first drift was very encouraging indeed with every rod taking fish. Nothing big really with cod to around the 7lb mark.
The next time I looked at the clock it was turning 1.30pm. The cod had been coming on board steadily all morning and the boxes were starting to overflow!!!
At 2.0pm Chris the organiser decided that they had all caught enough and we decided on an early finish returning to port at 2.30pm to begin the filleting.
The lads did a fish count as I filleted and returned a figure of 143!!!! Not a bad mornings sport at all !!
The boys are pictured.

After having a few of the best days we've had so far this year just recently, today showed us all exactly why we should never take angling for granted when the going is good!!!
The conditions to start the day were absolutely perfect with a flat calm sea. A few codlings were boated in the first hour but nothing like we've been seeing lately. The breeze then started picking up from the "dreaded" Easterly direction and we struggled to find the fish. A dozen or so moves were fairly unrewarded with just a few more codling boated. We finished off on a fairly unknown strip of ground at the end of the day and we managed to save it.
The lads ended up with around 50 codling between them which they were all very happy with.
At the end of the day all we can do is keep trying. There's never a guarantee in this game!!
The lads (Ronnie, Joel and James) are pictured with a few of their catch.

Some belting cod fishing to be had at the moment!
A mixed group of lads had a lovely show of cod today on the rough ground just 5 miles from shore. Best angler today was Simon England from Barnsley taking some 16 cod home with him.
Pictured is Steve Bulliment from Market Weighton with his best cod of the day.
