Had an uptiding trip On the Mistress, with Rich, the skipper doing a very efficient job of getting us to the fish moving from mark to mark depending on the tide and currents and putting us on the fish. With some of the guys better than others at extracting the cod (and pouting) Always very helpful and attentative with the lesser experienced anglers.Everyone went home happy.

Skippers Reponse: Thanks for your review mate, I look forward to seeing you again soon, all the very best, Rich

First trip out since lockdown last year... boy was I looking forward to it. Bitterly cold in the morning before we set off but a beautiful day it turnd out to be.The water still hadn't cleared so we went uptiding and we all caught fish. some people using a "lasso " method...., he did say the pennel hook was in its mouth..I caught my usual pouting and as usual went back to grow into a record fish then I won't mind catching it. I am booked for the summer festival in July but I'll bet I am back onboard with Rich before then ( If I can get a booking !) Can't wait for the shadding.

Skippers Reponse: Thanks peter, i enjoyed my 1st day back too, made better by the quality gents we had onboard! I look forward to seeing you soon mate, and we'll defo get that insure light line trip going this year!

We had a fantastic morning with Rich saw 9 Whales and caught some mackerel on the way back Brilliant thank you

Memorable fantastic day

THE best charter out of Whitby. There is no one else I would go with. Rich never fails to put us on the fish.

Skippers Reponse: Thanks Alex, always a pleasure having you fish with us, see you again soon mate.

Went out with Rich 3/4/2018 only the 2 of us as one did not turn up but what a great day as usual Rich found the fish good sport all day plenty to take home looking forward to the next trip with the Mistress.Cheers Rich Keith

Skippers Reponse: Thanks kieth lovely day to be out mate. Good company and a few fish. See you soon. Rich

Been out with Rich on Mistress before, it was with my 11 year old son and it was his first time, Rich couldn’t help my son enough and he caught fish. Was out with him again today with my son and it was hard going but Rich still managed to get us a bag full of keepers (cod)
Would recommend to anyone from beginner to professional angler.
Thanks Rich

It was our greatest fishing trip so far! We traveled a long way from London to Whitby with a hope to catch our first cod. We arrived a day before to ensure we're on time, it was definitely worth the effort. What a truly great skipper Rich is! Friendly, helpful and most importantly - a real fishermen. Also, have to mention his assistant too, who was helping during the day, was well experienced, patient and polite. There was no time wasted on a slower marks - Rich was very prompt in relocating the boat and trying to put us on the fish all the time.

It was even better to see him fishing too . We had a good day and a good catch. I could have caught even more if I was more experienced angler, I had missed about 5 good baits. We had 31 ( 29 codlings + 2 whitings) between 3 of us and I believe I had the biggest one (1.5kg), but all fish was of a good size. The only regret is that the time was going fast and when we arrived to the last mark, where cod start baiting very actively - we had to leave and make our way back just after abut 30 minutes .

The boat was quite tight for 11 anglers and 2 crew in total. Rich deserves a much better and bigger boat.
Well done Rich!
Look forward to fishing with you again.

Best wishes,
Andrew

managed to get out today tide did not look good only 5mts but you have to be in it to win it . Only 2 of us plus rich on the boat after a couple of no shows but all credit to rich for taking us out knowing he not going to make any money for the day. We started out close to the harbour fishing over kelp and had a good hour taking small codling putting a lot back just in size , Had a move when tide got going then had a couple of good hours putting about 12 good size fish in my box from 3 to 8lb . Was quiet for a couple of hours at slack water then back on them for last hour don,t know what final count was but we had a great day cheers rich. ps you guys who didn,t get out missed a cracking day.

Sailed with rich for a 6hr trip once again he put us on a good number of decent sized cod...not bad for my first uptiding experience a good day had by all
