The Summer angling has got away to flying start onboard Mistress this year, on day 1 we managed 1st and joint 2nd place, and and day 2 we managed 1st place again, shads and bait fishing well at the minute.
There are still a few midweek dates available, and there is a whopping £5000 first prize up for grabs, plus many other cash prizes, this has to be the Uks biggest sea angling festival, get in the action while you still can

Luckily there was a break in the weather to get the long awaited and anticipated trip in, conditions started fine, and deteriorated through the day, conditions were perfect for teasing a big fish out with very little drift all day.
All the lads fished hard and caught plenty, and Im sure they enjoyed their day.
On Mistress we saw plenty of fish which were of good stamp, and a wolf fish which was a bit of a rarity, but good to see all the same. I didnt picture all the good fish we had onboard, as there would have been loads of photos!. A massive well done to all who fished, and also a big thank you to all involved for your continued support.

The last two days fishing have been brilliant again onboard Mistress, EACH day we have seen well over 100 cod caught. We have been working mainly hard ground less than an hour from port, all caught on light gear and shads! The only thing holding us back at the minute is the weather. There are still plenty of mid week spaces available get in on the summer Cod action here at Whitby!

Another blinder today! we sailed early due to the weather forecast indicating it was going to blow up in the afternoon, it was well worth the effort! everyone onboard was ready to come in when i said we should, each had a full box of fish for just a few hours fishing, tied up again at 1pm! all caught on shads and light tackle.

Fishing here at Whitby has been absolutely dynamite the last few weeks,
the lads on the 4th June managed an absolute cracker of a haul, they had caught so much fish we were back tied up at 2pm, and it took us 3 hours to fillet it all.
All were caught on shads and light gear, great sport!

My wife, eldest son and myself have just had two fabulous days fishing with Rich and Dean on Mistress at Whitby. I cannot reccommend this outfit highly enough. Rich was constantly working hard to find us fish on different marks, Dean was working tirelessly netting fish, sorting out tangles and giving encouragement to everone aboard, always with a smile on his face and a kind word. We have fished on many charter boats in the area and this team and boat is by far the most professional, committed, helpful and friendly we have come across. My wife took a personal best pollock of around 6lbs and I had a personal best ling and cod of 13lbs and 9.5lbs respectively. The lads shared their knowledge and experience with us regarding fishing with sidewinders and bait. We returned home with loads of cod, ling and pollock fillets all nicely filleted by the lads. If you want a great days fishing off Whitby on a superb boat with a totally committed crew then dont look any further than Rich and Dean on Mistress. We shall be booking again once we can find some space in the freezer!!!!! Thanks again guys, Steve, Chris and Rick from Doncaster.

7 of us went out on a 10hr wrecking trip with rich cope on the mistress and we were very lucky to get out as the previous few days weather had been poor.we set out with shads and sidewinders and was instantly made very welcome by Rich who gave us some tips and pointers as a couple of the lads had not been wrecking before,we started catching cod and pollack almost immediately and the exitment grew quickly as all the lads had fish within 2 drifts.at slack tide the catch rate slowed down but the stamp of the fish improved with each drift. Rich moved straight away to another wreck if we wewnt more than one drift without catching and set about his work with gusto making sure we were getting the best from each wreck and getting the net ready for the larger fish without delay.Rich is a credit to the whitby charter boats helping us get the best out our day and passing on tips to improve our catch rate and nothing was too much trouble for him.We went back to the harbour over an hour early due to the fact that all our cool boxes were full of quality cod and pollack and all the lads were grinning with delight after a very successful day.we found out later that most of the other charters that went out that day struggled to locate fish but we had no such problems mostly because Rich sought out wreck after wreck for us and put in a great effort to make sure bwe had an excellent day.the 2 new guys were so entrhalled by the experience they have purchased their own rods and reels for future trips.Thanks for your time and patience Rich you made our day out on your boat a special one. cheers nidge whitehurst

Finally a break in the weather saw us getting out for few hours. I started the day around 5 miles from whitby and having took a few fish to about 6lb decided to stay in the area and work a few marks nearby. The fishing was never hectic but we took a steady picking of fish every drift, we had a PB cod for a lad which was only about 6-7lb, ling to 10lb, and pollock and cod to about 8lb. all fish fell to sidewinders and shads, rhubarb and custard the best colour. all in all a good day, lets just keep our fingers crossed for better weather so we can get back at them!

I planned on anchoring today to see if we could nail another biggy for the festival. The water had a bit of green algae tinge in it again, but on arriving at the mark there was feed swarming all over, so I told the lads to drop shads on the off chance of nailing a few before anchoring. All rods went straight into fish! result! the water cant have been as coloured as first thought. well we scrapped the idea of anchoring as we took a steady picking of cod all day long most people leaving with 12+ fish each, although we caught nothing enormous we enjoyed sport with cod pushing 8lb on shads and light gear.

What a great day we had today. unfortunately I was let down by some anglers and only had two remaining anglers, but I sailed anyway. we stayed close inshore and it was quite hard hard work. we had a mixed bag of cod, ling and whiting until the last hour when we latched into something a little bigger! it took around quarter of an hour to bring up, we were surprised to see a halibut! weighed officially at whitby angling supplies it went 56lb, only 12oz short of the port record.
