It's COD COD COD galore at the moment here at Whitby!!!
It's like someone has switched everything on at last. Wherever we go we are finding them. The ground is fishing as well as anywhere at the moment from as close in as 4 miles out to the 9 mile areas.
I must admit that as we went a bit further today the fish definitely seemed to be getting bigger with cod on the 8 mile ground reaching a cracking 16lb!
Here's hoping the weather stays ok for us all and we can carry this on for a good while.
Have a great time wherever you fish lads.

Gary Hurling and 5 of his mates joined us today from Boston in Lincolnshire.
We started on a couple of inshore wrecks without much success as the breeze was from a NW direction. Pushing the boat along at over 2 knots it was far too fast! We worked a strip of ground next and found half a dozen small codling.
Far too slow (fish wise) so we pushed out to a wreck some 21 miles East of Whitby, by which time the tide had eased and so had the breeze. Bingo! A lovely 3 hours sport for the cod and ling. Nothing of any real size, the best cod going around 8lb and the best ling to around 9lb. Finishing off on another inshore wreck in the afternoon we managed another dozen or so cod to 7lb.
A great day out with great company. Cheers lads and we'll see you on your next trip.

Happy fishing!!

A mixed bunch of lads joined us today aboard the Shy Torque for a great days sport.
The weather has really turned for the better at last and after the fog cleared mid morning the temperatures soared to 60 + !!! Hot for the East coast !!
First stop was a wreck 14 miles East of the harbour where we took around 20 nice cod to 8lbs. Next mark was a strip of ground where the lads pulled another 10 or so fish on board. A mixture of codling and ling on the ground. No monster ling unfortunately although one of the lads ( John Riggs ) did look to have something big on but sadly lost it. Riving and tearing!!!!!
Tomorrows lads are eager to sail and judging by the forecast who can blame them! Should be another flat calm day at Whitby fingers crossed.
Have a great day wherever you're fishing lads.

South Yorkshire's Barnsley Fire Crew joined us today on the first of their 3 trips booked this year.
The fish were a bit patchy at first so we moved further off shore and found a few fish on a couple of wrecks. Not enough to keep us going though so we decide to target some wrecks closer to shore. The best wreck producing a dozen or so nice cod to 10lbs.
A fantastic day weather wise here at Whitby today. Lets all hope this is the start of Summer????????????

It seems to be a case of grab a day when you can here at Whitby at the moment !!!
Our last trip off was last Saturday ( 2nd trip in 3 weeks!! ) and it wasn't very nice at all to start off, however the breeze did eventually fall at around 10 a.m and left us with a lovely day and some half decent fishing.
The forecast wasn't good enough for us to get to any distant wrecks so we played around on some more local wrecks and found a nice number of codling to around 7lbs.
I've just looked at the 7 day prediction this morning and it's still gloomy with more Northerly's forecast for the week ahead :-((((((((( WHERE'S THE SUMMER??????????

When the weather finally broke last Friday here at Whitby the Spring angling competition got under way properly.
Over the weekend we worked a couple of wrecks on the 9 mile area along with some rough ground. The wrecks providing us with some fantastic fishing with cod to just short of 11 lbs.
Upto press we've managed 7 daily cash prizes in the competition ( more than any other boat ) so things are looking good for the Shy-Torque anglers!
Pictured is Nigel Hall from Richmond North Yorkshire with what we thought was going to be the winning fish when he was reeling in. Turned out to be a lovely treble of cod weighing over 21 lbs.The best one in this treble weighing 9lb 13.5oz getting him a daily cash prize. Lucky but unlucky Nige!!! -

Whitby's spring angling competition started here on Saturday. Sadly with the current Northerly airflow down the East coast at the moment we haven't been able to get the competitors away. When we have been this last week though the fishing has been quite good. The inshore ground marks are starting to produce with some nice cod to 9lb on the shad.
The competition runs until 29th April so there is still time to try and grab yourselves the winning first prize of £1000.00 !! We have a couple of days with odd spaces left. Check our website's availability calendar for spaces.

Summers started at last!! Flat calm and better fishing this last week here at Whitby. Nothing of any great size as yet but the quantity has been there. The distant waters are still fishing better than the inshore marks at the moment. Pictured are a regular group of lads on the Shy Torque. Tony Livesey and his mates from Blackburn. Tony is 3rd from right.
