Local lad Alan Ward (not my Dad) and his mate chartered the boat for just themselves yesterday.
As any charter skipper will tell you, days like this are wonderful with oodles of space!
We started the day on the Mackerel which were playing ball first thing and were plentiful in their numbers.
We decided to have a nice relaxing day on the grounds where the lads picked nice healthy Cod and Ling up.
Best fish fell to Alan, a lovely fish a shade under 9lb.
Cheers and enjoy your fishing!

After tearing around the North Sea for 3 weeks in the recent competition it was so nice to get back to nice relaxing angling yesterday without the pressure of trying to find the ”big one”
We started out on some ground a couple of miles off to gather some mackerel which were quite plentiful for the lads.
We then trotted down to some local spots just 3.5 miles from shore and picked Codling and a few small Ling up until slack water.
A couple of wrecks over slack produced one or two slightly better fish but nothing huge.
Alan Keys taking the best fish from the wrecks with a nice Cod just shy of 8lb.
A lovely, but very damp at times, sort of day!!
Cheers lads,
Rich

Been a while since we have put a report up on here chaps which I apologise for.
The Summer competition has just finished here at Whitby and I thought I’d leave it till it ended before posting. Been a bit tired to be honest!
The event was a success again with the lads and lasses managing 15 days at sea, during which we had some nice fish boated.
Unlike last year where the boat took competition winners in all 3 events, we struggled to find the overall winner in this one, with our best fish being a few ounces short of 12lb which was a lovely Cod.
As always we would like to thank all those who fished with us, both regulars and newcomers.
Hopefully you all enjoyed it and return again in the future.
Our next competition here is in September and runs for 2 weeks from the 10th to the 25th inc.
Another £1000.00 up for grabs in that one too so if you fancy a go give me a ring on the usual number :- 07733 233352

Booking form also on CBUK
Cheers and happy fishing wherever you go.

Not very good at all for the majority of yesterday’s mixed group of lads.
That is with the exception of my mate Derek Wiggins from Leeds who always works his socks off on every trip!
He fished a single 220g jig all day and ended up with 15 Codling and 2 Ling himself! 100% effort paid dividends.
Phil Ross from Stratford taking 8 fish himself too.
A challenging drift at nearly 2 knots making it really quite hard work catching to be honest.
Great humour all day though with a great bunch from Hook nr Goole.
Great to meet you all lads.
Summer Competition starting here at Whitby tomorrow. Big cash prizes on offer!!
Cheers

A slowish picking for yesterday’s lads.
A breezy sort of morning hindering the angling somewhat, however the lads did pick fish up everywhere we went but just not that many!
A great crack on board all day long made the day fly by!
James Webster taking the best bag with 8 fish for himself.
No big fish landed at all on this trip.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Paul Mawson and his mates booked the boat for a 12 hour trip yesterday.
We sailed at 5am and because the forecast was to freshen up from the SE we decided to run to some marks East of the harbour.
The first stop producing around 15 fish with Codling to around 6lb.
Second mark gave the lads another dozen or so fish that’s all, so we moved to the outermost place on our route and this provided the lads with some quite superb fishing for the rest of the day.
Plenty of Cod to 10lb with a good number of “double ups “ and organiser Paul clicking a cracking Ling of 20lb 8oz which is the biggest fish on the rod out of Whitby so far this year. He commented that we should have saved it until he was on again in the upcoming Summer competition!
We’ll just have to try and find his big brother!!
Simon England taking a nice Ling of 15lb too.
The lads thoroughly enjoyed the trip with excellent banter throughout the day too.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.
Tight lines,
Rich

The fishing here at Whitby, the “Cod capital of the North” is really showing great signs at present.
Plenty of Cod and Ling for yesterday’s lads working just 3 inshore wrecks. The baited rigs far outdoing the Shads on this trip.
Regular angler on the boat Dave Sharp taking the best fish of the day with a nice Ling a fraction over 11lbs.
Chris Wake and his friend Dave taking 20 fish between them! A lovely bag of fillets to take back to Flamingo Land where they are staying for the week.
Perfect weather again and great sport for all.
The Summer competition starts here at Whitby on the 2nd July and runs for 3 weeks where we still have a few days with spaces.
If you fancy joining us, drop me a line.
Cheers and tight lines,
Rich

A nice morning weather wise yesterday morning for the lads and this is when they had the best of the fishing with around 40 fish boated.
After lunch and the tide change, the wind drew down from the Southeast and completely spoilt things. The lads taking just a dozen or so more fish with the lines streaming.
Nevertheless, another good day on the Cod for the lads and Chris Wake from Kilnsey taking the heaviest fish of the day with a nice Ling of 13lb off the ground on the way back in.
The neap tides are upon us now so hopefully the decent fishing will continue for a few more days yet.
Cheers

It was like winding the clock back 25 years for our 2 lads yesterday.
Bob and Richard chartered the boat for themselves and were treat to some superb fishing.
The weather and conditions were perfect and the Cod were hungry too!
We used the start of the flood tide and steamed for an hour to a couple of wrecks which hadn’t been touched for a while and from the off they were straight into fish.
They were knocking the Cod out on the bait and I worked the Shad all day, which also worked well.
The two bits of scrap provided a great days sport for the 2 lads who were over the moon with their catch.
My son and crewman Charlie and his girlfriend had a ride out with us too. This was Alana’s maiden trip and as usual Lady Luck played her part as she took the best Cod of the day at a shade over 11lb
Plenty of good chunky Cod boated too.
A fabulous day for all.
Cheers

With the tides being on the heavier side at the moment, yesterday’s mixed group basically had 2 windows where we had a chance of catching.
The first slack water just after breakfast, produced about a dozen fish from a bit of scrap 6 miles from shore which was ok.
We scratched around for the next few hours waiting for the tide to ease, picking up just a handful of fish as we were racing along the drift at 1.7 knots.
We moved to another couple of wrecks close to each other for the second slack water period where the lads took around 20 more fish to finish their day off.
All in all, tide taken into account, not too bad a day with superb sea conditions and great company.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.
Regular lad aboard the boat, Bill Barraclough fishing the best on the day taking 8 fish himself.
Cheers
