Unfortunately I was away this weekend so missed the trip on Saturday (gutted) Karl took the boat out with new crew member guy and they weren’t disappointed. Ten minutes in and the first cod is on followed by bags of whiting and dabs. Fish of the day was 11.5 cod.

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
As the 1st of the winter gales hits home it is catch up time and a look back at the last couple of weeks, the whiting fishing was superb with lots of fish coming on board every trip, the best went to Dave Addison at 4lb 2ozs. The Cod have remained very hard to find and we have yet to see one the winter but have made up for it with other fine fish Spurdogs to 16lb, Smoothhounds to 12lb, plenty of Rays Congers and a bonus Gurnard weighing 4lb 7 ozs but the best fish fell to Gannets AC anglers whilst fishing for Whiting as the wind increased forcing a move to shelter to fish for Rays we landed 2 Turbot weighing 11lb 4 ozs and 10lb 2 ozs both coming to anglers who had never caught them before. We have started our winter Flounder league and thanks again to bad weather we have only ventured into the shallows once on probably one of the finest winters day you could be afloat it was mirror calm with a hard frost offering stunning views and photographs and after a while we managed to find a few small Flounders, plenty of small Bass but none of us really cared about the fishing as the Harbour looked so beautiful and the wildlife was very active.
Over the Christmas period I have plenty of singles trips running so if you fancy a day fishing please call
Wishing all my friends and friends I have yet to meet A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Fishing Report by Kevin McKie
on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)
Dec 2017 by Kevin McKie
Report on-board Size Matters
During November we only managed to get to the wrecks twice and it was well worth the effort. The lads caught plenty of Pollack to 6lb, we will continue to fish the off shore wrecks throughout the winter. Please note this involves traveling for up to 3.5 hours each way, all Wrecking charters are £80 per person. If the weather is to bad to get to the wrecks then we will be fishing the Mersey.
Our planned charter trips to fish the banks and Queens channel on the spring tides during November where cancelled due to the strong NW winds. We have lots of these trips fully booked for December but there is still available dates for January and February. Cost is £45 per person all tackle is included and hot drinks.
As for the Mersey the the cod are starting to make more of an appearance especially towards the end of the month. An average day seems to a dozen Cod a day to 7lb 14oz with rays to 10lb, any amount of whiting to 1lb 8oz and Dabs. These charters are £45 per person includes all tackle and hot drinks.
Personally I think the seasons are getting later each year and it won’t be long till the Cod arrive in big numbers consistently.
Last winter we had our best day in February 64 Cod, I would settle for that again this winter.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
Dec 2017 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After the last week of strong Northerly winds here at Whitby we were fully expecting that the uptiding (inshore anchor fishing) would be very good indeed and we weren't wrong!!
We had bookings for the boat over the weekend and Monday, but sadly we missed the days due to a strong wind warning from the NW which never came (so annoying!!!) We did however manage to get the lads away on Tuesday and what a day they had.
Steady fishing right from the off in "Sandsend" corner working in the shallows (60ft of water) Great sport all day for the lads with the majority of the fish coming up on the squid and lug worm. The crab cart attracted a few fish but not as many as the other baits. Every day is different inshore just as it is when working offshore which is why it's always good to have a varied selection of baits.
Great banter, Hot tea & coffee flowing all day with lovely weather too. Perfect.
Ben Kitchingman landed the best fish of the day. A lovely cod of 8 lbs. When he was told it would have won the recent competition here at Whitby and £1000.00 he nearly fell over!! His Dad Dave landing the most fish with around 30 fish himself!
We have a few dates still free on the lead up to Xmas when the boat is empty and if you fancy an inshore trip I will sail with just 2. Booking calendar fully updated at all times.
We also have a few dates with lads already booked on.
They are :-
Mon 18th Dec (Room for 7) Offshore trip.
Wed 20th Dec (Room for 6) Offshore trip.
Thur 21st Dec (Room for 2) Offshore trip.
Individuals very welcome as always.
Tuesdays lads are pictured with some of their catch.

Report on-board Mistress
Another absolutely beĺting day and night on the cod for the Mistress anglers here at Whitby.
The day time 7 hour trip saw the lads boat around 90 codlings the best angler getting 25 himself. Most fish in the 3lb-5lb range.
The night trip also saw good bags of codlings for the lads, best angler catching 20+ himself.
Best baits continue to be Black lug, unwashed squid and cart.
The weather continues to hamper us but the fishing remains extremely good.
If you fancy a day or night trip with me, give me a call or text on 07977 436903. Also keep a good eye on the Mistress Sea Angling Charters facebook page, for updates on gaps in the weather and last minute spaces.
