Sunday 15th Feb.
Even though the forecast was looking a liitle bit dodgy, after giving the weather charts some study there looked to be a window of opportunity Sunday morning. so, as I always do if I'm a bit unsure, I give the lads the 50/50 option, so its up to them to make the trip if they want to, but if they dont, they dont lose their deposit.
Needless to say most of the lads jumped at the opportunity to get to sea. as it was we managed to get the morning before it deteriorated and we came in. The tide was a bit on the small side and there wasnt much when we got out, we still managed fish from every mark we fished though.
It was hard work, BUT everybody caught codlings, The lads chose to throw a lot of the fish back even though they were size, which is really encouraging to see anglers acting responsibly preserving future sport for us.
We counted up what we had caught through the morning and we finished with between 25 & 30 codlings.
The sport was a little slow but if we'd got the day in we may have doubled that. we got photos of a few of the better fish we had which may have pushed 4lb.
All in all not a bad morning in great company,
We are starting to fill the diary for the summer already folks, I really would recommend booking early to avoid disappointment, if you fancy a trip out of #whitby give us a call on 07977 436903.
Tight Lines, Rich

Thursday 12th Feb.
I had a trip arranged but got let down when a group never phoned in, but I had a couple of regulars on, so with only 2 lads, I sailed.
It was never frantic today but we took a steady picking all day, between the three of us we managed to rake up around 40 codlings, considering it was a dead tide it fished well. the best angler taking nearly 20 himself! Here's a few photos from today, cheers for a cracking day Peter & Dennis.

Friday 6th Feb.
Evening all, I know my posts aren't in order but I've had a busy week and I'm just getting on top of everything! Well we had a bit of a red eye special on Friday. The gap in the weather fell perfectly for us, we had a crew of 4 lads for our day trip 7am-4pm, and to be honest it fished very well for us, no big ones to report but plenty of 2-4lbers, a count up at the end of the day saw a tally of around 70 codlings landed for the day.
the best angler landing 22 codlings.
We got back in, and with the forecast staying favourable, waited for the tide and went back out 6pm-midnight.
Everyone I know who has been on a night time trip had always really enjoyed it, currently mistress is the only boat offering these trips out of whitby . The tide took a while getting going, but we eventually started rattling a few fish out, Gary who chartered the boat for himself caught the two biggest of the night both 5-6lbers and got smashed by a hell of fish near the end of the night.
Needless to say we had a great day and night, if you fancy trying a trip with a difference, give us a call on 07977 436 903, tight lines, Rich

Another gap in the weather saw us putting to sea with a group of Mistress regulars.
I was a bit unsure of how it pan out for us with the tides being as big as they are at the minute, we fished an area that hasnt been touched for while, and were rewarded with some great fishing all day long. The lads managed to amass a great catch of between 80 & 90 Codlings, with many returned. The best angler taking 25+ codlings himself.
Most of the Cod were in the 2lb-4lb bracket with a couple of better ones thrown in, the best topping the boat scales at 9lb 8oz for Nigel Horan of Halifax.
I try to encourage throwing anything under 40cm back, we had to keep a few that were deep hooked, but great conservation effort again lads, well done.
Top baits were black lug, Cart, mussel and squid.

Another gap in the weather allowed us to get to sea again this weekend.
A very cold morning greeted us on saturday, but it turned out a lovely day, not the most hectic but a steady picking of fish all day with some nice fish among them.
we had a good few just over 6lb but most in the 2-4lb bracket.
best angler took a dozen cod home, the fish seem to have switched on to cart again. those fishing with cart had plenty of bites.
we lost two very good fish too, but thats fishing!

Monday 5th Jan.
We started the year off with a bang again this year, we only had three lads fishing but we took a steady picking all day resulting in between 60 & 70 Cod for the lads. lets hope its the sign of things to come!
They weren't greedy and returned a lot of in size fish. Its always great to see responsible conservation minded anglers on board!
Nothing big, most were in the 2-4lb bracket with a few pushing maybe 6lb

The fishing has been nothing short of excellent here at Whitby recently, boats pushing offshore have been doing well as have the boats staying inshore uptiding.
We managed a red letter day this week after being tied up due to the weather. The 5 lads amassing 75-80 cod to keep for the day between them. throwing back many fish under 40cm.
Its good to see the lads doing their bit for conservation.
We have seen some cracking days this last few weeks, and also a mixture of species, including, cod, ling, pouting, whiting, lsd, bullhuss, thornback ray, ballan wrasse and even reports of a small conger from another boat.
winter prospects certainly looking good

The run of good Cod continues for us on Mistress, Mark Wilky a regular angler with us, caught a couple of crackers yesterday, both into double figures, he also took a nice double figure ling earlier in the day too.
The fishing was hard work due to the breeze but we managed to find a few better fish for the lads.

We have been nailing some superb cod this week, Mistress regular Andy Bettison from St Helens, has smashed his PB again this week with a cracking Cod a shade under 11lb, a cracking fish on a day where we saw a number of double figure fish on board.
