    Its seems like its been an age since I put a report up on here, a combination of poor weather engine maintenance and the slowing down of bookings due to the time of year have all contributed!

    I keep getting phone calls asking if I'm running trips yet, the truth is, I'm a full time Skipper and I run trips 365 days a year bookings/weather permitting. This is my only job.

    Prior to running the trips last week I was a couple of weeks down waiting for parts to come from various spots, contributing to full top end engine overhaul, all coolers have been stripped cleaned and pressure tested, cylinder head overhauled and pressure tested, new turbo, overhauled injectors with new nozzles, needless to say shes running very well again.

    So this last week, we ran two trips, midweek whilst the tides were still quite lively we managed a half decent day with everyone catching the best angler taking 7 keeper cod plus a few whitings and poutings, but everyone caught, totaling around 40 cod for the day plus the usual pesky whitings and poutings.

    We have another weather system coming through at the minute and it looks al ot more settled next week, from monday onwards, we should be able to get to sea.

    We have availability all week, with trips on the 28th and 4th, but while were uptiding we only need a minimum of three people to run to sea guys. I'm sure with a spell of settled weather we will be thinking of an early run out to the wrecks very soon.

    Also, people are starting to plan well ahead now into the summer and the best tides are being picked and taken for the competitions, April 1st-16th, July 1st-23rd and September 2nd-17th

    Happy New Year Everyone!

    Whilst most of the other boats are doing yearly round-ups, we're still putting in the days and nights at sea, keeping our anglers among the Cod!

    I'm sure as business starts slowing as it generally does around this time of year, I'll have a hunt through my many files for some of the better pictures and fish from last year.

    We're experiencing a big northerly again at the minute, but looking at the charts there will be a window for this Saturday (7th Jan) we currently have 5 places available.
    The trip is 9 hours. 0730-1630, and is £45 per person, thats only £5 per hour! if you see cheaper deals on the internet, they are cheap for a reason, you only get what you pay for! I put in 110% every trip.

    These photos are from our last few trips, where it has generally been very good with our best day seeing 60 cod boated with our best angler that day taking 13 cod himself, most other days the better anglers with good quality bait have been getting double figure bags too.

    So if youre interested in a trip here at Whitby on Mistress give me a call on 07977 436903. pr drop me a message on seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk,

    We are still smashing the Cod here at Whitby, between the three of us on Friday we managed the best part of 40 codlings.

    There appears to have been a fresh run of codlings all 2-4lb, with a few better ones thrown in.
    Best Angler took 15 himself, but everyone walked away with a double figure bag.
    The best bait remains crab cart, but good quality black lug and dirty squid has been catching them too,

    Tomorrow (Monday) is a really good forecast, again were looking into a day and a night trip, we have spaces for both,
    The day trip will be 730-1630 and cost £45 per person, 5 places remaining,

    We had a hell of a day and night yesterday here Whitby with two very successful trips. With not being at sea for a few days it was great to get back at it and find our anglers a few nice fish!

    Following on for our post the other day, we've had interest for a trip this coming Friday, which we are currently taking bookings on now, the trip will be approx. 9 hours and £45 per person. I do have hire tackle available if required and I can sort out a bait package at a competitive price too.

    We were overwhelmed with the response to the night trip, so we will be running another next week, when its suitable, the night trips are approx. 6 hours and cost £30 per person, experience in fishing at night is essential and a good quality headlamp is a must, tip light can be supplied if required.

    We are currently taking bookings to for trips between boxing day and new years eve, if you want to try out your new christmas fishing gear!

    The weather gods played ball with us this weekend here at Whitby allowing us to get a few days in.

    The stamp fish remains good, with the Mistress anglers seeing fish just shy of double figures, but most in the 4-5lb bracket.

    Crab cart remains the best bait to be using, either in a cocktail or on its own.

    We have a spell of settled weather this week and we have spaces for anyone wanting to get to sea, either day or night I can put a trip together to suit you,

    Give me a call or text on 07977 436903 if you fancy it, I'll need a minimum of 3 anglers to sail,

    Time for an update, we've lost the last couple of days to bad weather but there's a glimmer on the horizon! We've managed a few days this week, but its been patchy with weather, as it generally is this time of year.

    The last few trips have fished ok to be honest, with our last trip fishing well, to the lads with the decent bait, with 3 or 4 of us on board getting upward of 8 fish apiece,, the others just a handful. they've all been in the 3-6lb range so nice eating fish size.

    Prior to the last blow the water was starting to clear, so fishing was average with us boating 30-40 fish for the day each day.

    Looking at the weather charts there's a bit of chance friday, and I've had a bit of interest for friday night too,
    The trip will be 6pm till midnight, and will cost £30 per person, I have 6 places available, and you will need a bit of experience in fishing at night with the correct equipment.

    The weekend is looking good too, so fingers crossed the weather gods play ball with us!

    Best baits - Cart has fished very consistently with us this year, decent blacks and unwashed squid has also produced, its always worth bringing some mussel for tipping off with as well, leave your fish baits at home folks, despite advice people still insist on bringing mackerel and blueys (wrong time of year).

    So have a look through the photos, and if you fancy either a night or day Uptiding trip with me here at Whitby on the Mistress, give me a shout on 07977 436903, or drop me a mail at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

    We had fish upto 8lb 8oz but most were in the 4-6lb range.

    So now thats over with, we will be back to normal sailing times, 0730-1630,

    1st day back Uptiding after the last northerly, we got among the fish boating 30-40 codlings for the few lads onboard, everyone thoroughly enjoying some decent winter sport. with some top fish in prime condition!

    So we had high hopes for the following day, but it was really hard work, despite covering lots of miles and plenty of shifts through the day.

    We have another big northerly system currently battering our stretch of coastline, so the fishing should be spot again once we get back out at them!

    There looks to be windows in the weather tomorrow and Friday by the looks of it, but it can and does change! we have spaces Wednesday, Thursday and Friday this week.

    If you fancy jumping aboard Mistress here at Whitby for trip give me a call on 07977 436903 or drop me an email at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

    Its been a rough month for us up here at Whitby with us losing three weeks of the month to bad weather, its also given me chance to get my annual holiday away and wind down a bit!

    Since getting back this last week the fishing has remained up and down as it has all year, we've started giving the Uptiding a serious shot and we've been rewarded with some lovely fresh run fish, numbers are still a bit down on last year, but the water is still quite warm and and we still need a good northerly to colour it up, which we currently have building!

    On this last set if big tides, we've fished at anchor through the tide and fished selected wrecks during slack breaking up the day for the our anglers.

    This last week has seen several cod into double figures the biggest topping out at 14lb yesterday. Uptiding has seen to cod to just under double figures, so with this bit of sea things are looking up for the forthcoming Uptiding Festival. (5th-20th November).

    If you're into your shore fishing, you'll love uptiding, Our weekends are now fully booked but we still have plenty of available midweek places.

    So, if you fancy a day in the festival or even just some winter fishing, whether you're a novice or experienced you get a warm welcome with me on the Mistress.
    Give me a call or text on 07977 436903 or email me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk
