Two days on the trot! uptiding again today. with a lift in the tides i was expecting a bit faster action today.
it took a couple of moves before we located a few then it was steady away again for the rest of the day,
I found with moving regularly we would get a pocket of fish then move to the next spot, we amassed around 40 codlings again today.
we saw a few better fish today though with a few around the 6lb mark. still plenty of fish int he 2-3lb range keeping the rods rattling!
the best consistent bait remains to be a black gulley worm tipped with squid. Crab cart fished helped bag a few bonus fish today though.

Uptiding today. Plenty of colour in the water, which is always a good sign!
The fishing was fairly steady today, we had 4 on board as a couple of others failed to show up again.
Between the 5 of us though we managed a steady 40 codlings. No big ones today unfortunately the majority being 2-3lb in weight we had a handful pushing 5lb.
Still the lads got plenty of action with 2 or 3 lads getting over 10 fish apiece.

What a belting day we had today.
I had two lads taking the boat from Bradford and boy were they rewarded, its the 1st day back to sea following the last Northerly, plenty of colour in the water I noticed on the way out.
The day got away quite slowly until the tide turned then it just went bananas all afternoon.
I fished too seeing as we had a good bit of space available, between the 3 of us we took between 40 and 50 Cod.
The Best angler took 22 cod, taking home over 22lb of prime fillet.
The most surprising thing was the stamp of the fish coming aboard we saw many fish today between 6lb and 10lb, The best cod took the boat scales round to 10lb 4oz
The best bait by far was half a black lug tipped off with a strip of squid.

We only had three people booked on today, so stayed inshore uptiding.
The tides weren't ideal and the water is beginning to clear a little inside.
We weren't disappointed though, between us we managed around 40 cod. The best lad taking 15 himself.
Unfortunately nothing massive to report, the best went to Darren from Lincolnshore with a well conditioned 6lb + Cod
We also caught, Lesser Spotted Dogfish, Pouting, Whiting and Ling. The rod tips rattled away all day for us.

Firstly I would like to congratulate Mick on Avante and Ken for getting the biggest fish of the Uptide competition, well done guys!
It fished well for us on Mistress too, we took 3rd and 4th heaviest fish overall, the biggest of any other species and junior section too. We only missed out on the heaviest bag by 1lb!
The fishing was slow on a couple of days but others the fishing was exceptional, our best day saw us boating over 90 cod! we had another day taking over 80 too.
The Inshore competition is over now for this year, but with the event being so successful, sponsorship has been pledged for next year and dates set! November 8th to 23rd
The inshore fishing is still producing good numbers of fish, even though we are tied up at the minute with the weather, the shore fishing is throwing out lots of codlings and few better fish reported.

Another cracking day here at Whitby,
We were greeted with a nice flat sea and sunshine today, hopes were running high due the northwesterly we have been experiencing here the last two days putting a bit more colour back in the water.
Everywhere we stopped today we took a good number of fish, we left plenty behind in the search of bigger ones, as the sea bed inshore seems to be paved with loads of fish in the 2lb to 4lb range.
The best cod caught was by Mistress regular Mark Wilky, weighing in at just under 6lb back at the Middle Earth Tavern for the weigh in.
Also Whitby and Mistress Regular John Vero caught a ling just under 11lb taking top spot in the Any Other Species Section in our uptiding festival.
The lads fished well, with the boat amassing around 80 cod for the day

Another good day uptiding today.
The boat took between 40 & 50 Codlings to keep, with a few undersize throw backs. Local angler Damien Townsend fished today getting the biggest fish and bag weight on the boat, his fish was tad under 7lb and bag weight just under 22lb.
He took daily 2nd biggest fish, and daily biggest bag netting himself £50 in prize money from our Uptiding Festival.
We also took a very bright Ballan Wrasse today, it only weighed 2lb, but its nice to see different species showing up every now and then. It went back to fight another day!

The fishing will continue to be good as long as we can get to sea, and we will be fishing long after the Uptide competition comes to an end. I will only need a minimum of three anglers to sail, so if youre interested in a trip please drop me a line

The Uptiding has been nothing less than exceptional recently. We have been catching plenty as well as some bigger ones too. These last 4 days from the 6th to the 9th we have had a massive amount of fish.
Best day was Thursday with the lads amassing just over 90 fish for the day, yesterday (9th) the lads managed a very respectable 65 cod for the day.
We didnt see as many fish Friday, but the bigger ones were there, between the 3 of us fishing we managed just over 30 cod, the best one just under double figures, My uncle sailed with us and was ecstatic with HIS biggest cod and best bag of fish to date, taking a daily 2nd in the comp as well as the biggest bag!
Dave from Huddersfield taking the daily first spot with a cracker over 9lb.
We have another day or two off for bad weather again fingers crossed for the good sport to continue.

We went Uptiding today with the regular bunch of lads (and Jane!) from west yorkshire police.
It was the first day or our Uptiding Festival here at Whitby, the conditions were far from perfect making it tricky day getting on our marks.
Everyone had an enjoyable day with us taking in excess of 40 Cod. Nothing big to report though unfortunately, we had several upto 4lb in weight, the majority weighing between 2lb and 4lb
Well done guys -

Friday 1st November - 4 hour trip
I had a group of mates visiting Whitby and they wanted a shorter trip for the afternoon sorting out.
We got a few more booked on too.
first couple of spots were a bit slow so we moved until we came across a few fish, we managed around 20 Cod for the trip, which I didnt think was too bad.
One of our regular lads Mick Thurlow bought his grandson Zak along, who caught his 1st Cod, Mick has since said he was over the moon with his first Cod. The first on many mate, well done
