Report on-board High Flyer 2
Set out on a lovely calm day with a wind forcast for later. Headed out for those first skate or bass armed with every bait know to man. Out to a bank only few miles out that has come up trumps for me for those early spring fish. Started off with whiting and dads, few nice doggies among them. Great to see our first smoothhounds of the season come aboard although only small. After slack the wind started to get up proving uncomfortable on the bank so we headed in off a local mark where Paul caught two nice codling pictured here.More whiting and dabs along with the doggies came aboard in all not a bad day for this time of year. Big thanks to the Stamford lads Keith,Ian,Adi this weeks winner! also Paul,and Ken, together with Ben from Northampton, Charlie and son Karl first time on the Flyer and regular customer Paul Layton , appreciate all you guys travelling so far hope you enjoyed your day. Jon.

Report on-board Gwen-Paul-M
A foray to the offshore wrecks today (15th April) resulted in steady pollack fishing for most of the day. Average size was 3-4lb with the occasional one 8-9lb. A few small coalfish were also caught. We saw the first mackerel of the season too, only three though. White 4 inch sidewinders were the best lure on the day and it was easy to see why, as many of the fish were coughing up sprats. Pollack also fell to jelly worms and frozen sandeel.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Whitby's spring angling competition started here on Saturday. Sadly with the current Northerly airflow down the East coast at the moment we haven't been able to get the competitors away. When we have been this last week though the fishing has been quite good. The inshore ground marks are starting to produce with some nice cod to 9lb on the shad.
The competition runs until 29th April so there is still time to try and grab yourselves the winning first prize of £1000.00 !! We have a couple of days with odd spaces left. Check our website's availability calendar for spaces.
Pictured is Martin Berry from Retford Notts with a nice cod of 9lb. View Boats Page

Report on-board Hard Labour
8 rods on the boat today, a couple of seasoned anglers and a few novices. The trip out to the offshore grounds was a bit lively to say the least with wind against tide, but once the hook was set the boat sat steady at anchor. Action on the ebb tide was hectic with skate after skate hitting the deck and at times 3 rods into fish at the same time.As the tide slowed so did the fishing although fish were still coming to the net steadily. The flood started to fish much the same as the ebb finished but picked up as the tide made. There were a few more dogfish around this week as the water temp has increased. Also we saw a greater number of smoothhounds with the largest going just over 8 lb. Final tally for the day was well over 50 roker on the boat with each angler taking a couple for the table and the rest returned. No monsters this week biggest skate was a tad over 11 lb. the crew on board had a really good day out with plenty of fish and the weather went in our favour too.

Report on-board Ebony May
Weather still cold with these North westerly winds, but mackerel shoals increasing daily although the herring and sprat are also being caught, still some good whiting caught on baited feather.
Thornbacks and blondes now moving on to the banks with large quantity's of Bull Huss over the rougher ground. Bass up to 5lbs now being caught in the tide runs, the early Tope should alsostart to show in the shallower water as they come in to breed.
High winds after tomorrow might put an end to deep marks for the next few days but will continue to fish the bays and sheltered waters. Eel tanks now maturing will soon be tripping with live bait as the bass start to show on the reefs. View Boats Page

Report on-board My Way 2
Sailing daily during the last set of spring tides, we’ve had mixed fortunes afloat, with good and bad days trying our patience. Species wise some of the anglers have been rewarded with dogs, codling, whiting pollack, coalies and a few mini species along with slightly bigger catches in huss, rays and spurdog.
A really enjoyable day was had during one of our Easter fishing outings for Adults & Children. Here the price of a trip is reduced significantly, with the emphasis on getting the junior anglers afloat with parents and friends and enjoying some outdoor fun.
The second week of the Easter break and a difficult forecast was upon us with a westerly wind breezing across Holyhead Bay – never the less our young anglers set sail with a dogged determination to have fun and enjoy themselves during the 4 hours afloat. Our first mark proved hard with just a few dogfish, small huss and the odd codling gracing the deck of My Way.
After a quick move, sausage butties and Easter time crème eggs, we started to catch more. Enthusiasm was now at its highest point in the day as plenty of dogfish yet again, now 2 at a time, along with whiting, codling, dab and a solitary thornback ray came aboard to be met with beaming smiles.
A great 4hours afloat, one enjoyed by both children and adults alike. View Boats Page
