on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
Sep 2012 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The cod fishing has started to improve on the inshore marks again here at Whitby with the ground marks offering the lads some lovely fresh run fish.
At this time of the year the cod are very often finding food off the bottom so finding a good "feed" mark is often essential for success. Cod well into double figures can often be found feeding well off the bottom (sometimes 50-60ft !)
Paul Williams from Barnsley is pictured with a lovely cod of 9lbs which he caught some 40 turns off the bottom, whilst we worked a feed mark, on a "rhubarb and custard" 4" shad.
Nice one mate!!

Report on-board PLAN B
Not great tides this weekend- could only do single tides. Fished up river mark for a couple of hours but only had a skate and few dogs and whiting so moved down river and had a nice lot of hounds to 6.5 lb and small bass. Ended up with a reasonable amount of fish given the length of time fishing, as usual fresh peeler and hermit were the killer baits .

Report on-board Flamer IV
SEPTEMBER 2012 - Pat Trenchard age 47 From Somerset and a member of Wells SAC has struggled to catch a big Plaice for years and his last trip was no different until the last drift of the day when like buses - "Nothing" then two come along at once.Pat hooked an amazing double shot of big Plaice weighing 11Ib 11oz with two Plaice weighing in at 5Ib 15oz and 5Ib 12oz.This did stop the mickey taking that Pat had endured for most of the day.To say Pat was overjoyed with his big Plaice double would be an understatement."Well done Pat for not giving up".Pat was using 10Ib class tackle with a two hook trace with size 2/0 hooks,the trace had lots of green and yellow attractor beads on.The successful bait was ragworm and strips of Ammo squid.Pat is pictured with his amazing double shot of Plaice.Pat's double shot is a new Flamer IV record beating Colin Jones who had a double shot of Plaice Weiging 11Ib 2oz.

Fishing Report by Paul Chapman
on Yorkshire Lass II (Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire)

Report on-board Yorkshire Lass II
Had a group of eight anglers & three individuals for an 8 hour trip today. Halfway through the trip they all agreed to try something different for the last 2 hours. At 2pm we headed back inshore & put the anchor down with the intention of targeting thornbacks. 2 came to the boat straight away & after a 20 minute wait another 15 were boated. Considering the lads didn't realise you could catch thornbacks from Bridlington they had an excellent trip
with the best one weighing in at 13lb 12oz.
Well done lads hope to see you all again soon. View Boats Page

Report on-board Mistress
Had to cancel today with poor weather - yet again!
Winter is only just round the corner now, with prospects for uptiding still looking good. Remember there is a competition running 10th to 18th November with £1000 up for grabs!
The last three days at sea we have seen plenty of fish aboard Mistress, with a lift in tides to springs I have concentrated more on finding a few cod, I feel that the shads fish a bit better on the bigger tides as long as we have clear water. The lads have been heading for home with upto and over dozen Cod per person. Most of the fish have been in the 3lb to 5lb range, with a few pushing 7 or 8lb.
We have dropped onto the wrecks going to, over and out of slack water finding a few Ling hoping for a better one to poke his head out! we managed another decent one on the 15th, Mistress regular Mark Storey got one which weighed in at 14lb 9oz, unfortunately he just got knocked into 4th place on the daily board, only missing it by a lb or so.
Still plenty of mackerel showing here at whitby too.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday saw John Wilcock ( my Sunday crewman ) return to the boat after a small bout of ill health. Great to see him fully recovered.
Not the best of tides to return to now that they are approaching the big springs again, but John is always up for the challenge!
We worked a couple of wrecks out on the 7 mile stream to start, with just a few fish to count. Nothing of any size either with cod to 6lb and ling to around the 10lb mark. As the tide steadily pushed through the fishing fell even quieter so we decided to push off a little further to the 9 mile ground. Again, nothing startling, with a few codling to 7lb and a few more ling to 8lb.
The breeze started to freshen up after lunch and we ran back towards a wreck which isn't very well known to others. Trouble was we were racing along at over 2 knots by this time! John had just a couple of the fresh mackerel left which he had caught on the 9 mile.
"Last ditch" he said to me. In typical John Wilcock style ( and over 55 years experience in sea angling )he persevered to the bitter end and was finally rewarded with what is now leading this Septembers competition.
A cracking ling of 21lb 5.5oz.
John will return to fish with us next Friday to fish the last couple of days.
Well done mate and good luck!!!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A phenomenal days fishing aboard the boat today with a mixed group of anglers from around the Yorkshire region.
The forecast was always against us so we decided to stay fairly local for the first hour or so but as the breeze eased to almost a draft we decided to open the throttles and run to some offshore wrecks.
The first one at 17 miles produced very little with a handful of cod to 7lbs and similar with the ling.
Onwards and outwards was the order and after another 45 minute steam we dropped on the first of two wrecks some 27 miles from shore, South East of " Baymans Hole" which are seldom fished.
RESULT!! Cod to over 12lbs ( plenty of em' ) Ling to over 16lbs and Pollack to just short of 12lbs ( plenty of em' )
A cracking day with a cracking team!!
Pictured is Paul Siddle from Patrington Nr Hull with his best two fish of the day, the ling being just over 16lbs and winning a daily prize in this years Autumn angling comp. Paul amassing over 130lbs of fish on the day!!
For a chance of a day like this from Whitby give me a ring before 8pm to arrange a trip on 07733 233352.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Sep 2012 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
We ended August with another good run of smoothhound. In Holyhead we tend to get a late run towards then end of Aug early September however most of these hounds tend to be on the small side with the largest around 8lb in comparison to the smoothies in the high teens and occasional 20lb+ sharks from early season in Holyhead Bay. Never the less, anglers can have great sport on light tackle as Carl Burns proved by landing 4 hounds during one blustery trip aboard My Way.
Sadly, it’s been a windy start to September once again this year, with the vast majority of trips being cancelled We have the tail end of the latest hurricane to blow over the Atlantic to thank for the relentless barrage.
The month started with members of the Skegness Angling Club making the trek across the UK, to fish aboard My Way with 5 members also booking spaces aboard Spindrift. We spent the majority of the morning at anchor in both Church Bay and the Mussel beds slightly to the west. My crew, made up of anglers and novices to boat fishing were rewarded with plenty of fish, single double and treble shots. Where as the majority of the catches consisted of doggies, whiting, dab, codling gurnards and the odd huss, given the weather and the novices not having caught so consistently before the day was good.
By lunch time the wind had increased dramatically and with a 30mph due south blowing, we headed for the shelter of Holyhead Mountain and dropped anchor within Porth Namarch where again the catches over high water consisted of dogs, whiting and the odd huss. Un deterred the guys an gals soldiered on whilst tucking into sausages, bacon and eggs!
Once we had lost some water and tidal strength I upped and anchor and we went on the drift around the Chair Rock and North Stack rock ledges, here we caught an abundance of wrasse – ballans, cuckoos and corkwings together with the odd pollack.
The weather for a few years now has left anglers with challenging situations on many occasions, but if you’re prepared to take the rough with the smooth, test yourself and accept some days don’t quite go to plan a great fun can be had. The few trips that we have been able to get out has seen similar fishing with the bull huss being the only double figure capture. Some of the whiting have gone a good size for Holyhead in the summer, these usually arrive mid August and see many anglers taking a good bag of 1 ½ lb whiting home for supper.
Possibly the best capture for My Way so far in September has been our third new species ever. The Leopard Spotted Goby is the smallest specie that we’ve landed so far, but one that created great excitement for myself and captor Ari Jones. My initial call was a Leopard, but then struggled with the possibility of it being a common goby. I texted a couple friends and uploaded a photo to our Facebook page, where some species hunting friends confirmed the capture to be a Leopard Spotted Goby, happy days indeed.
Hopefully the weather will start to settle down soon as this latest weather front moves on. Happy fishing where ever you go :)
We now have the Tide Files required to accurately plan our trips for next year. If you are interested in a particular date or species to fish for please email or call to discuss the details 2013 Availability recently updated! View Boats Page
