Report on-board Amino
Out today with regulars Cliff,Ernie, Michael and Dave and with the forecast looking okay and winds due to drop we headed out. A rough sea state once out at the mark produced a first Thornback for Dave at 10lb, dogfish and odd hound as well as some vomiting and butt clenching for some of the rest of the crew!LOL!
As conditions eased we had a move to another spot which produced very little in the hour we were there so moved offshore to find more tide and colour in the water and this proved successful as the chaps had 10 more (hornbacks to 13lb, Smoothounds to 8lb, Cod to 6lb and more Dogfish! Also lost a couple of decent hounds and Thornies during the afternoon but that's fishing!!
Cracking day chaps, see you again on 2nd June :-) View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Nigel Whitehurst
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Mistress
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

Report on-board Mistress
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!

Report on-board Discovery
Alex Smeatons Species Hunt - 17th May 2012
The lads had travelled down to Liverpool from Scotland and Ireland on a Lads weekend.
Locked out of Liverpool Marina at 10:30am, with everybody buzzing for a good day fishing. Headed out over the bar to hit the first mark of the day. On the way we had a drift over a very small wreck and that proved friutless, so we carried on to our first mark. The intention was to spend a few hours here bottom fishing, then head off to another mark. We dropped the anchor and began fishing and within minutes the first few mackeral of the day were pulled in. Followed closely by various different species. Once the guys had caught a few different species and Gordon had laid a susbstantial amount of groundbait for us, rigs where changed yet again onto more substantial tackle. This proved to be productive as Simon hooked into the first of man Bullhuss which weighed in at 11lb. Once everybody saw Simon catch one, everybody wanted a huss and the tactics changed. Once all the rigs were changed the Huss came in two at a time, with Simon landing 2 Huss and a doggie at the same time. His Huss weighed in at 10lb and 6lb each.
Not to be outdone the Colonel, landed a decent 10lb Huss. The fishing got more and more frantic as we had 6 landed Bullhuss on the deck at one time, trying to weigh and record details of them all. In between all of the Huss coming aboard, there were plenty of whiting, mackeral, doggies, Red an Tub Gurnard. Simon managed to catch a decent 10lb Thornback, rebaited and dropped his line back into the water only to hook another Bullhuss which weighed in at 14lb. Once the guys had broken our boat record for the number of Huss in a day(in 4Hours). We still needed to up the species count. So off we went to a mark further offshore. Straight away we managed to pull 3 Cod aboard with the best falling to John at 6lb.
Immediately we set off to another mark, to catch Plaice,Flounder and Dabs. Alex was the first to pull in a nice Dab, followed by Simon with 1lb 5oz Plaice. Gordon landed the first Flounder of the day. Plenty more Dabs were pulled aboard. The Colonel hooked a nice Plaice, but didnt know whether to land it or leave it swimming around the side of the boat. Once we we got it aboard it weighed 1lb 5oz. After dropping his line back into the water, he hooked into a Flounder(which turned out to be his first, as he had never got on before).
As the day was drawing to a close we tallied all of the fish numbers up and we had broken their previous fish caught record of 176 with 188. This was over 14 different species.
A cracking day out, with a real good bunch of lads. Even the Shimano Scotland Rep had a laugh on a Diawa sponsored boat.

What a cracking weekend,
the hounds have arrived in good numbers - we managed about a dozen on Saturday with the best around 10lb and a nice lot of good skate.
Sunday less hounds but more skate - a nice first double for one very happy angler.
Cannot wait to get out again this coming weekend, the tides are much bigger.. should see some bass and plenty more hounds. View Boats Page
