Report on-board Discovery
Sunday 25th November 2012
We welcomed phil and the lads back today. After their successful trip with us in July, they decided to have a crack at the Cod. The fishing was steady all day with plenty of Whiting and dabs. Paul who missed the last trip due to a slight disagreement with a car and a tree on his "Crotch Rocket", decided he would show the lads how it was done and tempted our second 9lb 9oz Cod in 3days aboard Discovery. A cracking fish. Francis plugged away all day at the whiting and dabs.
Stan who was lagging behind in the fish numbers landed a lovely 7lb Cod to send everyone quiet. And then the last fish of the day went to Mark who had cut Nevs Line whilst fighting a Cod of 6lb, to save him from losing it due to a tangle.
Well done on some cracking fish today lads and see you all soon

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Another window in the weather for us yesterday here at Whitby. Took the lads out to the "Wall" for what turned out to be a cracking days angling.
The drift on the ground was virtually zero, which is no good normally. But due to the sheer volume of cod out there at the moment it didn't make much difference at all. Shads seemed to be making most impression at first but the bait rigs took over the catch rate when the tide changed. Baited Hokkais doing the best.
We were hampered by a seal for a while but once it had pinched a big cod from one of the lads it disappeared (thank god!) Usually when they turn up the fishing goes off but it didn't yesterday.
Derek Wiggins from Leeds fished the front of the boat as usual and ended up with a lovely box of cod with 4 ling thrown in. 18 fish in total. His best around the 8lb mark.
A good number of cod around the 8 to 10lb mark on board.
The best fish of the day fell to Craig Gillings from Bradford. A belting cod of 21lb 9oz caught on a blue / white shad.
Craig is pictured.

Report on-board My Way 2
Never let the weather spoil a fun day afloat - 24th November 2012
For a change, I’ll start this brief report by whinging about the weather ....
What a week this has been for the UK, wind and rain of biblical proportions, anymore and I think Anglesey would be in danger of floating away! Anyway, Thurs / Fri of this week and everything appeared to be settling down for this weekend. Light winds and the odd drop of rain, hopes were high for a nice spot of fishing this weekend, with possible time in the deeps but mainly a few congers whetting all appetites.
Quick check on the weather last night and winds still forecast to be light … let’s go fishing! This morning though, the weather god had other plans. Light winds to start and then north easterlies coming up from mid-day, we weren’t due in until 6pm, but by 3 it was 20 mph and by 6pm the winds were forecast to gust 30mph!
After a brief chat we decided to just go for half a day inshore and get back to base around 2.30pm before the main winds started to increase with the flooding tide. So as we set sail, rigs were prepped for the onslaught of whiting, dogfish and dabs.
After the first half hour of fishing all anglers having caught well, with a few decent whiting being retained for a feed we decided to add a little spice to the remaining time and have an impromptu ‘Fun Match’ with the Magnificent prize of a My Way beanie … well it was a cold easterly breeze!
The fishing was steady for the next hour, with a good few Whiting and Dab coming aboard with surprisingly few Dogfish. Mark the Manc was taking a commanding lead from the others with double and triple shots of fish falling to his tactics. After an hour we lifted anchor with visions of spending a small amount of time on the drift for pollack and herring, sadly though to no avail. After a few drifts with only 1 solitary Ballan Wrasse for Warren we decide to anchor up again, this time a little further out on the edge of the famed Holyhead Mussel beds.
Fishing was now back on, as all the anglers started to pull aboard Whiting, Dogfish and Dab with the occasional poor cod and also nice tub gurnard. Things were starting to look a little grim for Mark the Manc as work colleague Mike, local rod Mark D and Scouse Andrew started to pick up double and triple shots of whiting as he brought in single fish. Sam and Dan on the other hand decided it wasn’t to be their day on the numbers and changed over to big hooks in the hope a rouge conger or maybe a huss would enjoy a half whiting offering, sadly not today.
I started the engine up to signal the end of the match and despite a triple shot of plump whiting in what could only be describe as ‘Fergie Time’ for Mark the Manc, Mark D from Menai Bridge came out the triumphant winner by 2 fish. We made it back and tied up as Port Control showed 19knots of NE wind.
Fingers crossed 2013 will be full of calm winds and calms seas for us all. View Boats Page

Report on-board Discovery
24th November 2012 - Lucky Lee and the Lads -
Today the guys finally got to come fishing aboard Discovery, due to the last trip being blown off. It took a while for the fish to make an appearance but when they did it was worth it. Plenty of whiting being brought in with the first Cod of the day falling to Mick. Throughout the day plenty of cod were landed. The guys were battling it out all the way to the end for the pool as Pep thoughout he had it in the bag with a 4lb 6 oz Thornback. Daz decided that Pep had the pool for long enough and hooked into and landed a lovely 7lb Cod. With Pep holding his head in his hands, he carried on right to the end and then landed a 5lb Cod to end the day.
A good days fishing with a good group of Lads
See you all Again
