After a slow start on the inshore marks on Saturday we decided to try a few wrecks out on the 20 mile stream. These also proved to be quite slow giving us around 15 fish or so. The "Wall" was shouting out to us so off we went! Fortunately the water there was like gin and the fishing was really good. Best lad at the end of the day was Graham Stansfield from Leeds with some 20 cod and 6 ling. All the lads were rewarded for their efforts. A great day with superb weather !! Pictured are Steve Smith and Graham Stansfield.

When the weather here at Whitby has been kind to us we've been seeing some good quality fish aboard the boat. Sadly we just aren't getting enough good weather at the moment !! 8 lads aboard each day at the weekend, both teams seeing some good fishing. We are having to travel to the more distant wrecks and ground at the moment to find the better fishing, but if that's what we have to do, then we do it !! There are fish starting to show on the inshore marks too but not quite as prolific just yet.

The wrecking trips of late have been exceptional here at Whitby ( when we've managed to get off for the weather !! ) Plenty of good size cod to be taken. All the cod taken on the shads with the water being as clear as I've ever seen it in November for years. Hopefully away in the morning again as we have a small window in the weather.
Pictured is Jim Arthur from Darwin in Blackburn with a couple of his better fish of the day. -

A group of lads from Newcastle asked me some time ago if it would be possible to try and target the Halibut here off Whitby. This week we managed to get the group away to have a go. We sailed at 6 a.m as the grounds where we would hope to get these fish are some 30 miles from shore. On arrival the tide was ripping past too quick so we had to play the waiting game for an hour or so. An hour before slack water and we saw some action. One of the lads had a take which certainly appeared to be a large Halibut judging by the way his 50lb class rod was bending. Sadly after 5 minutes or so the fish was lost. Some 15 minutes after this I hooked into one myself and after a 35 minute battle with 3 very powerful dives back to the bottom I boated a 47lb fish. I was using a Shimano Speed Master 30lb class rod with a TLD15 multiplyer which made this a very exciting ordeal indeed!! All the lads were very pleased to see one of these fish boated and have already booked 3 Halibut trips for next year! If you fancy a try for one yourselves please drop me a line.

Some fantastic weather this last couple of weeks here at Whitby. The fishing has been very good indeed with some nice catches of cod and ling being landed on the Shy Torque III ( see catches section ) .
The big ling have started to poke their noses out again!! This last week seeing two over 22lb on the boat. Both fish being caught on the rough ground.
This stamp of fish is easily big enough to win any competition held here at Whitby !! The next one being the September competition which starts on the 10th Sept and finishes on the 25th Sept. Big cash prizes again in this comp lads so give me a ring if your interested in grabbing a "grand" before the end of the year !!
Hope your all having a great years angling wherever you are.
Pictured is Konrad Kiernozcki on his maiden trip on the boat with a 22lb 8oz Ling.
