Report on-board Lady Grace
Today I headed out with 4 beginners who had never been sea fishing before. Today's tide was a big spring tide, we set off a 9am when the tide had turned and had just started flooding, knowing that once we anchored up the tide should be well underway. We anchored on our first spot which after catching a few whiting realised that these 4 guys were very competative. It took a little while for them to get the hang of what a bite looked like with the boat rocking and the tide belting past. But once the first whiting was caught they seemed to be having a 'fish off' to see who could catch the most whiting and they were well away, baiting up and casting out all on their own. The real competition seemed to be between Tom and Colin who were neck and neck all day and wanted to stay out longer than originally booked so I suggested a move for the last couple of hours in the hope of picking up a cod on another mark not far from where we'd first anchored, Dave and Aden didn't seem fussed either way. They were all up for a move as long as they could still catch whiting too and carry on their competition. I did try explaining how whiting have a rattley bite whereas cod are much more fun to catch with their nodding action on the rod and they put up much more of a fight. I also told them if they csught a cod then it would best all those whiting hands down and they would immediately become the winner of the competition. After a very short while at our second mark Aden quietly reeled in the first cod of the day, it was only a small one and was undersized but nether the less it was still a cod and he said he could feel the difference in the resistance the cod had put up compared with the whiting and that meant he was the winner. There weren't as many whiting as this mark so Tom and Colin were eagerly watching their rods so they didn't miss a whiting and let the other catch more than they had. While it was quiter I got my sandwiches out and sure enough this did the trick, Tom was into a decent fish and having great fun playing it in and when it finally surfaced it revealed itself as a nice 5lb 15oz cod. The excitement on the boat was unreal, Aden's victory was stolen from him while the others starred flabergastered. I told them all to get their rods back in the water in the hope of picking up a few more before they had to head in as their wives had been calling and nagging them to see when they would be in. They all baited up and cast out and Dave had his first cod and while we eagerly waited for Colin to catch one so they'd all had one each, Tom snuck another cod into the boat. Unfortunately Colin didn't get his cod before we hand to haul the anchor and head home. Not only did Tom have the biggest cod of the day, not to mention the biggest cod on Lady Grace so far, but he also had the most. We finished with 4 cod and lots of whiting.

Newhaven Fishing News
We are still catching some nice Cod on the inshore ground marks off the sussex coast out of Newhaven. This week we have been catching the Cod on smaller baits with worm and squid. The big baits of cuttle haven’t seemed to have been working this week. There are also lots of Whiting around, they seem to have got much bigger this week and have them to over 2lb, which are a nice eating size. The weather has been a bit kinder to us this week, but still waiting for it to get colder to hopefully see the bigger Cod showing once the temperature drops.
It won’t be long before we are back on the offshore wrecks of Sussex out of Newhaven to catch the bigger Cod and Pollack on the drift with lures.
We still have some spaces left for this year and are taking bookings for 2013, so if you fancy a trip contact Dave on 07966 377145. View Boats Page

Another fantastic day today aboard Mistress. We managed to take the the daily prize with a cod of 7lb 12oz for Graham Thurlow of Redcar, netting him £50 for his efforts, well done Graham.
Top bag weight onboard today went to Mistress regular John Dioxn also from Redcar, he managed a respectable bag weight of 47lb 2 1/2oz, not as good as his 57lb bag earlier in the week.
We had around 30 to 40 cod today, a rogue Pollock and a few Pouts.
The Cod were all in the 3lb to 6lb class and in fighting fit condition. We're starting to see a few fresh run fish now.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Nothing to report directly from the sea today lads but I just thought I'd show you the finished product with the Thai fish cakes I keep going on about !!
The concocter of this recipe did say that these babies are best done with ling, mainly because ling is a much stronger ( flesh ) than the other white fish to use, and holds the fish cakes together better. He is completely right !!
Tried them today and what a result !! ( The dipping sauce is to die for !! )
If any of you ever get a few ling whilst fishing with me and are unsure how to fillet them, please don't be afraid to ask me to do them for you. I will do gladly.

Report on-board Mistress
Today we managed to get amoung some nice fish. The day started with virtually no wind at all and stayed flat all day!
The biggest of the day was caught right at the end of the day on the last drop, luckily it took the daily prize for the biggest Cod in the uptide festival we're currently running here at Whitby.
Neil Dronsfield took the beauty which weighed in at 11lb after a faily hard day at sea, with bites being hard to come by. His pal Andy officer had been leading all day with another fine Cod of 9lb 9oz caught first thing this morning.
Andy also managed a respectable Ling of 8lb 8oz. The lads managed around 20 to 30 Cod today which was quite slow. Even so, the lads from Hull enjoyed their day out with us again.
We also saw our first Lesser Spotted Dogfish onboard Mistress today, we dont get many up here in Whitby so it was a welcome sight, and also puts the Mistress species count up another notch to 20!
Pictured is todays biggest fish of 11lb with its captor Neil Dronsfield, which won the lucky lad £50 for his efforts, well done mate
