The last three weeks have been a bit manic here at Whitby on Mistress with the grand summer festival.
We've been out as much as we can when weather has allowed and in between, servicing where needed.
The fishing has been up and down, The best fishing on the neap tides, with some lovely fish landed over the comp with us getting quite a few daily placings and we had a nail biting wait to the end of the festival being beaten to first place on the last day!
Still Mistress regular Tony Barret from Doncaster finished up in 2nd place with a cracking shad caught Ling of 18lb 11oz netting him a total £1050!
So with the festival over now until the next one on September business will be running as usual,
Next available trips:
Tuesday 25th July - 6 hours - 8 places - £30
Wednesday 26th July - 10 hours - 4 places - £50
Thursday 27th July - 10 hours - 9 places - £50
Most Tuesdays are available for a short 6-8 hour trip now with is starting out at 930am
If you're interested in joining us for days fishing, give me a call or text on 07977 436903 (8am-8pm) or email me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

With another few days of bad weather, I thought it would be about time for an update for us here at Whitby,
This spell of bad weather has also given me chance to get some service jobs done prior to the start of the festival this weekend.
Leading up the bad weather we had mixed fishing, the neap tides producing the best with us boating around 90 keeper codlings, ling and Pollock on our best day then as the tides peaked out at 5.8m catch rates fell away, never the less the anglers still enjoying their day with me and leaving another 5 star review on the internet.
We've started to see some of the bigger Ling showing with the best this week of 17lb off a local ground mark on a big 5.6m tide, so it goes to show you can still get the big fish on big tides!
we've had a few more into double figures too.
The charter skippers enjoyed a really successful RNLI charity even recently too raising a staggering £940 with the fishing competition and raffle, we had some great fish aboard for our anglers, to just short of double figures, we had two very keen junior lady anglers, Kelly Gillings from Middlesbrough who won the junior section, and Maison McCourt from Whitby with another ling slightly smaller, all in all a great night for all involved!
So this week sees the start of the grand summer festival with a massive £5000 up for grabs, we still have spaces for this event if you fancy jumping on for a day with us. Entry fee is only £5 per person, on top of the charter fee of £50 for ten hours, sailing at 7am-5pm
Weather permitting we have an evening trip going on Wednesday 5th June, 5pm-8pm and it'll be £20 per person.

The last few days aboard Mistress here at Whitby have been pretty good!
Thankfully the weather gods have played ball with us this week, and with the small tides its meant we can get out to the wrecks, Shads have fished most consistently as the waters clearing all the time now,
A few of the days we have seen 50-60 fish (keepers, that's cod, ling and Pollock) with loads of throw back blegs and undersize codlings, with one day seeing a few less, but on the whole it has fished well for us.
I said on my last report id noticed some feed on my sounder and the mackerel wouldn't be long, we actually got our first one of the season the day after! they aren't here in numbers yet but I'm sure they wont be long now.
Availability for the week -
Tuesday 23rd - 10 hours - 2 places
Thursday 25th - 10 hours - 7 places
Friday 26th - 10 hours - totally free
Sunday 28th - 10 hours - Due to being messed around with a booking we have 6 places available,

With a drop in tides and near perfect wind conditions, I expected today to produce well for us on Mistress here at Whitby.
Unfortunately 2 lads had to cancel leaving only 3 lads available for the trip, I always sail with a minimum of 3 anyway so it was game on! it also gave me a chance to wet a line myself too!
Although it was never really hard and fast we moved around a few wrecks and finally finishing on a ground mark, taking a steady picking everywhere we went.
Shads took most of the fish as predicted due to the water clearing quickly now, with squid taking a few better fish too.
we finished up with around 50 keepers for the day between the 4 of us, the best 2 lads taking 14 each!
There are signs of increased activity of bait fish now on the sounder so the mackerel are only just round the corner for us!
I currently have space for:
Monday 22nd ( totally free - 3 minimum)
Tuesday 23rd (4 places available)
Wednesday 24th ( 6 hr trip - totally free - 6 minimum)
Thursday 25th (7 places available)
Friday 26th (totally free - 3 minimum)

I finally bit the bullet and ventured out to the wrecks today, I was looking at the water all the way out and thought it looked hellish green, so wasn't totally confident we were doing the right thing.
We were all keen and fired up for it though, we had a back up plan of dropping back inside uptiding if things didn't run to plan.
It was a slow start with us getting 3 or 4 a drift (poutings that is!)
with a few moves around a few wrecks though things started falling into place with us getting 5 or 6 cod a drift at times to shads, as the tide picked up the fishing tailed off, but we'd managed to rattle a good few fish out for the lads to shads and bait.
I ventured back inside for the last hour to finish off the day at anchor and we were still catching the cod getting another 6 or 7 in the last hour, The best lad managed a respectable 9 fish for his efforts with us finishing up with around 50 keepers for the day for the boat.
So the signs are certainly there that summer is finally on the way, we're taking bookings now and the phone has been a bit busier this last few days with the weather starting to improve, we still have places available on the upcoming festival, starting next Saturday with a massive £1000 up for grabs.

The last few trips have been chucking a few cod up for the Mistress anglers here at Whitby,
We're still averaging a good few fish for our anglers to take home each trip, with what sometimes seems like hundreds of little undersized ones to throw back, which is a very encouraging sign for the up coming year, were also starting to see a lot of very clean fresh run fish too.
We've been continuing with our night trips too just fishing a tide, again with our anglers managing a few for the pot, these trips have been popular with the lads having to work during the day, meaning they can get out after for a fishing fix with a chance of taking a few fish home for their efforts.
Best lad last night caught 10 cod with 8 to keep all over 40cm.
Black lug, squid, cart and mussel all doing the business still.
With a week or so of settled weather we will be thinking of venturing out the wrecks very soon to see of the water has cleared enough to extract a few!
Give me a call on 07977 436903 or message me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk to book a trip,
The phone has been quite busy this week with the better tides now starting to fill up.

We managed another evening trip last night here at whitby, its wasn't exactly hectic with the best lad getting 4 keeper cod but most getting a couple to take home, loads of chuck back codlings again, with the usual whitings and poutings to keep the rods twitching and one seal attack!
We still have space for 3 on tomorrows trip, which is £45 if you have your own gear, 7am-4pm
We have trips going Wednesday and Thursday with space on this week, most days are free, the tides are good to get some end of season uptiding in, if neither of these days suit I will sail with a minimum of 3 anglers.
The tides and weather are looking good for another evening trip on Monday if anyone is interested. Sailing times will be 6pm till midnight, £30 per person.

We managed a few days at sea last week here at Whitby.
The fishing was pretty good too for the #Mistress anglers with the best lads each day getting 8 or 9 keeper Cod a piece, most in the 3-4lb bracket with a few better fish pushing 6-7lb.
There seems to be millions of small 8-10" codlings swimming around this year which is certainly a great sign this upcoming year.
Decent black lug, unwashed squid, Mussel and crab cart all doing the business for the lads.
The weather is looking good, for the weekend, and we have spaces both satyrday and sunday. trips are £45 for 9 hours.
Friday night we have a night trip 5-11pm, its £30 each experience is essential and a headlamp is needed, we have 5 places available for this one.
