The last week has produced some good catches again on Mistress. The weather has been a hinderance at times, keeping us ashore. The days we have been to sea have been steady, with quite a few Personal bests beeing beaten.
We had to fish close inshore one day due to the fresh SW winds but we still found some nice pollock for the lads on jelly worms in around 15ft of water.
Wrecking is still producing lots of Ling to Mackerel baits and the odd better Cod also falling to Bait.
Shads have been producing well, I will keep you updated on how they fish after this current northerly!
The Autumn festival starts on the 8th September, £1000 first prize for the biggest fish, there are still a few places left, get yourselves booked on! -

Finally a spell of settled weather again here at Whitby, even with the huge tides, we have been getting amoungst the Cod.
The last few days have seen most anglers onboard catching upward of a dozen fish or more a piece. All falling to shads wound very slowly. Most Cod were in the 2lb - 6lb range, but we had a belter today that went 15lb 8oz!!!
The most productive lure at the minute being the 4" Rhubard and Custard Sidewinder.
Also over slack water, we have been dropping bait onto the wrecks and getting a good number of Ling in to double figures too.
Plenty of Mackerel still showing all over at the minute.
Mistress regular Paul bought his son Ethan (11) today, he had a great time. He caught plenty of fish and set himself a new personal best of 7lb, well done mate.

Today we had a mixed party of lads, some novices thrown into the group too.
we started out ta the bell bouy jigging mackerel for bait, seeing as we're on neap tides again wrecking was the order of the day. Plenty of mackerel about so two drifts saw us with enough bait to get started.
We were rifting quite quickly to start with so fishing was slow, as soon as the drift slowed a point or two of a knot the fish came on to feed!
The fishing wasnt hectic today, but we saw some nice fish non the less.
the biggest Ling was 15lb, Cod to 10lb. we had a number of Ling over 10lb again today.
We had a young novice, Peter, with us today he caught a couple of really nice fish to take hoem the best being a Ling around 7lb in weight, dad was pleased as punch, its always good to see the youngsters getting amoungst the fish! well done mate.

Another drop in tides again today saw us wrecking all day. We travelled a bit further offshore with the lads from Hull.
The drift was around 1.6 knots to start with, once we had arrived at our mark. We took fish from the off today, with hardly any blank drifts. The fishing remained steady until slack water and it went off a bit.
The lads had already graced the deck with some cracking fish, Ling to 17lb to Steve who also had two others into double figures plus a box of smaller fish to himself.
Craig the organiser, managed half a box of fish with Cod approaching double figures, and Pollock to 8lb or so.
The other lads managed some respectable fish too taking a number of Ling over 10lb.
I wet a line too today and took Pollock and Cod on rhubabrd and custard sidewinders.

Today started out a bit shabby with a north westerly swell, despite that it was a nice sunny day. The tides are just beginning to drop too so hopes were running high for a few fish.
With the breeze at the back of the tide we were drifting quite quickly first thing, but as the tide eased the sea began to flatten and it turned out nice. We took most of our fish from a wreck going into, over and just out of slack water.
The fishing was a bit slow, but everybody caught fish to take home, we had a mixture of Cod, Ling, Pollock, Mackerel, Whiting and Pouting. The biggest fish onboard was probably only around 10lb in weight so nothing big today.
The highlight was experiencing a Minky whale swimming around us for around half an hour, Ive never had one as close to the boat as this one. Please see the film clip in the video section

Yesterday was another successful day aboard Mistress, the best lad got nearly a full box of fish himself, mainly ling today, we caught a few cod on shad early in the day and a few came later to bait off the wrecks. Biggest Cod weighed in at around 10lb caught on mackerel fillet. One of the lads had a bit of a surprise today when he reeled in a dead weight after being tangled in the wreck. Not only did he catch a shad and weight but tangled further down the main line was a lobster nearly 4lb in weight!

Today on Mistress we had a mixed party which consisted of mainly novices, many of whom had never fished before.
We worked ground today with mainly shads, and by the end of the day I was pleasantly surprised to see what we had caught. The rod average on the boat was easily over 10 fish per person, with many fish thrown back too. No big ones today unfortunately but the crew made up for it with numbers of fish.
another great day afloat with a top bunch of people, well done everyone.
Heres a pic of the lads and lasses with a few of their catch.
