Started with a message from CBUK saying the "Mistress" had updated her content . Which got me thinking I hadn't had a trip in a while so I rang Rich , The skipper and asked about what was avaailable.
Got booked for 22 March 7 oclock sail .
06:30 saw me and a few other anglers Suited and booted and ready to go, quick stop for fuel and we were probably fishing by no later than 07:30
the uptiding was slow but steady with mostly sizable cod coming onboard including a nice 8.5lb fat cod. I caught my usual pouting.. I swear it's the same one every time it gets put back. quite a few very small coddling were brought on board and released to grow bigger.
Rigs used are very simple 40lb hook length of about a metre with 4/0 main hook with 3/0 pennel. that is fastened straight on to the swivel on the main line and a rotton bottom connected to a 8oz grpper sinker
bait was worm and squid.
We moved up and down the coast to the marks that should suit the Tide and weather with Rich as usual explaining why we at a particular spot.
the wind picked towards the day but not unfishable .
A very good day I took home 8 fish some had more and some less but I think we were all well satisfied with the trip.
I will be booking a trip n the mistress for the upcoming festival if there is any seats left. -

We managed to sneak a couple of trips in on Saturday here at Whitby.
We got onto a few spots that started out well with the rods bounching only for seals to show up and start stealing fish. Everyone managed a few fish with a few better ones coming over gunnels too. Managing around 40 fish each trip.
Best baits we're black lug and unwashed squid.
It looks like theres a window in the weather on tuesday and wednesday this week and by the looks of it, that will be it for at least a week.
We only need a minimum of 3 people to sail on on our longer trip of 9 hours, for £45 per person, or
4 people on the shorter 7 hour trip at £30 per person.
If you fancy a night trip due to work commitments, I can put a 6 hour night trip in the dark, together for £30 per person.
Bait and hire tackle can provided at cost if required.

We've been very lucky with a small settled spell of weather here at Whitby this weekend, we managed to get to sea everyday and an added bonus night trip.
We've managed steady fishing but not as good as it has been, saturday and sunday day trips averaged 30-40 cod for the boat plus throw backs, but saturday night and monday we manged 50-60 cod for the boat.
Seals were a problem, with us losing a good few fish to them.
Mondays best angler took just shy of 20 codlings himself keeping about a dozen.
Theres a gap in the weather on thursday at the minute and we'll be running a day and a night trip if we get the interest. Its £5 per hour per person for the trips.
If youre on a budget we can put a deal together to suit you.
Thursday 24th - 10 places
Saturday 26th
Day trip: 0715- 1600, 5 places
Night trip: 1700-2300, 6 places
Sunday 27th - 10 places
Hire tackle and bait can be provided if required at cost.

Hi guys, we've had a couple lads book on for monday, so we'll need at least one more angler to make up numbers to sail. The fishing has been very very good again this winter.
This trip is 9 hours long and £45 but I do offer a shorter trip for £30 too, which has been popular and allows us a fast turn round and do a night trip which are also £30 per person.
We're also taking bookings for the WCSA 2019 festivals now, we are usually among the prizes, and won the last event.
The dates are
Spring 13th-28th April.
Summer 22nd June - 14th July
Autumn 7th-22nd September
