Report on-board PLAN B
Codling are back in reasonable numbers along with a few thornback rays on the banks.
The shoals of seasonal sprat are moving off so fishing should improve from now on. If you are thinking of taking a trip then from now on should be a good bet

03/02/12 This is the first trip out after the easterly winds that we have had this week we headed out to s/holm but after 2 hours of barrow loads of weed coming in and a few whiting a move was on the cards we headed to the n/roads to a mark that i have used in the past plenty of fish showing and it came up trumps again with 51 cod on 8 rods we nearly beat our record best fish were around the 5/6lb mark hardly any weed today, well done boys see you all again soon Brian/Paul.

Report on-board Grey Viking
Well it was a funny old winter! I returned from holiday in the third week in November and we managed 5 days on the trot for inshore winter Cod, it was so warm we were down to teeshirts one day! The Cod were playing ball and we had quite a few in the 16lb class and the best that week went 19lb so I thought "here we go" ... lining up nicely for another good winter season.... But then December arrived, the wind came and it stayed for about 8 weeks! We only managed to nick the odd day here and there when a brief lull in the wind presented itself and it was the worst winter for rough seas I can remember!
The wind finally fell and went northerly marking the start of this cold snap so we got out to the Pollack wrecks on the 29th and 30th January. (The tides were wrong to target my winter Cod wrecks). It's a bit of a gamble looking for decent Pollack in January but we managed a decent catch both days with 5 anglers getting personal bests and 3 of those fish were in the 16lb class, so I was quite happy. On the second of those trips we were unusually short of crew with only 6 anglers aboard and my mate Nick Coster asked me to have a fish myself and try his 6lb class rod for a bit of fun (I dont normally fish myself when wrecking). Anyway, first drop and bang and my personal best Bass of 10lb 4oz soon graced the net... Happy days!
As I write this Grey Viking is out of the water for 10 days for her annual winter maintenance and we are back fishing from the 15th February, weather permitting and the Pollack season should be in full swing by then and there should still be some Lunker Cod in certain areas too !! We also have the Plaice fishing to look forward too which was truly superb in 2010 so tight lines and hope to see you soon! View Boats Page

I only had 4 lads booked ontoday so it gave me a chance to wet a line for a change! we had a smaller tide today, but the sea was flat it was a lovely day to be at sea once the sun poked through the clouds. we started in the same spot we left the day before and were into codlings from the start, again it was slow, but i tried something a bit different today, i moved the boat everytime the bites dried up and as a result found the lads a few more fish and they seemed to be of much better stamp too, the best lad had half a dozen fish upto 7lb,
pictures youres truely with one around 5lb View Boats Page

The fishing party from west yorkshire police have been trying to get out uptiding for a few months now, and finally with a break in the weather we managed to get out, it was a bit bumpy to start with having wind over tide. It was hard work from the start with us catching a few whiting and pouting only on the flood tide, we had quite a efw missed bites too. Anyway as the ebb tide approached we moved and intatntly got into the codlings. It was a faily slow day with the cod going to around 4 1/2lb.

Plenty of Skate coming up amongst the codling at the moment.
Herring chunks and squid are the killer baits,
Use plenty of lead and short traces to make sure its anchored close to the seabed.
Always spaces on weekdays, still some weekend availability.
I always carry my diary and will do my best to get you out fishing.
Full time professional Skipper/Owner.
Keep it tight,
Dave. View Boats Page

sunday couldnt have been more different with a stiff easterley blowing things were a bit uncomfortable to say the least but the fish went mad with 41 cod to 4.5lb in 4 hours when the weather got to bad and we had to go in breaking the boat record again and a great time had by View Boats Page
