Some settled weather at last!
Yesterday was our first trip out for a while after the boat being clear of the water for a couple of weeks whilst she had her 5 yearly out of water survey.
A mixed group of lads joined us for the day and we decided to have a run offshore as the tides were easy.
The first wreck produced around a dozen fish to keep which was ok. After that it went completely downhill and the remainder of the trip saw just 3 more fish boated!
Regular lad Bill Barraclough taking the best Codling at 5lb.
A change of approach on our next trip where we will be doing some more Uptiding as the tides start lifting again.
Cheers

Had our first run out yesterday after a fortnight off for rubbish weather.
With the tides being in the neap range we made a decision to run off and try a few offshore wrecks.
Bad decision!!
After 3 wrecks we had just a couple of fish on board.
The water offshore is currently like pea and ham soup!
Nothing ventured as they say.
A chat with the lads resulted in a vote to run back inshore and try a few hours Uptiding.
As soon as we dropped in we had fish coming aboard over slack water and as the Ebb tide pulled through we started picking a few Codling up to end the day.
Good banter as ever aboard the boat.
Cheers for now,
Rich

After the decent day we had last Sunday we headed back to the same grounds yesterday hoping for the fishing to still be there. It wasn’t and we struggled to find fish.
Never two days alike!
Chris Roberts took the best Codling of the day at 4lb 6oz.
Young Fergus Powell from Whitby taking just 4 for himself. A cold but nice day on the water nevertheless.
Hopefully things will pick up again for the inshore work as the tides build again towards the weekend.
Cheers

A great day on the water yesterday on another Uptiding/Downtiding trip.
The banter was excellent from the off and the fishing was nice and steady too with around 30 keepers for the lads and nearly as many chuck backs.
Local laddie Fergus Powell out fishing everyone again with his cocktail baits of crab cart, squid and black lug.
Room tomorrow and Wednesday if you fancy a run out.
Cheers

Had a run out yesterday with a team from Hertfordshire who were in Whitby for a couple of days.
The lads preferred the Uptiding option we offer.
The day started slowly on the ebb tide with only 6 or so fish boated. A move on slack water to a little hot spot of mine to start the flood tide and the lads started picking Codling from the off.
20 or so fish came over the rails in the first couple ours of the flood with lots of chuck backs too until we were hounded by 3 sea dogs (seals!)
One last move away from the seals proved fruitless with only a couple of “mop” Codling landed.
A great day all in all though with excellent banter a bit of good sport at times.
Cheers lads and hope to see you all again this year.

Room left for a few this coming weekend if you fancy a trip.

Managed to get to sea yesterday with half a dozen lads.
3 regulars, Si, Bill & Dave from West Yorkshire and 3 other lads from Liverpool.
To be perfectly honest the fishing was rubbish with just 8 Codling caught and only 3 of those were keepers.
The usual Pouting and Whiting too.
We are going to leave it for a while now until the next Spring tides are running where hopefully, we will see an improvement.
Cheers for now and have a great New Years Eve!!

Out again today on another Uptiding trip.
The stamp of fish today was much better with Cod to 7lb.
Crab cart, squid and lugworm fished well.
We have room for 1 angler tomorrow and this will be my last trip till the 28th December.
Having a nice break for a week.
Simon England is pictured with his catch today with Cod to 7lb.
Cheers and tight lines,

What a gorgeous day at sea yesterday.
Sea like a mirror pretty much all day.
Fishing however was a little slow with only 20 or so fish boated.
Local lad and good mate of mine Fergus Powell fished the best using a selection of baits including crab cart which out fished everything.
We have just 1 place left now on tomorrow’s trip and 3 places left on Sunday’s trip if you fancy a go before Xmas.
Cheers for now

We managed a run out on Saturday just gone.
After the last couple of massive Northerly storms we’ve just encountered I knew the only chance we had to see any fish at all was at anchor in the shallow water.
Good choice!
The lads picked just a half dozen fish on the first mark so we moved to another favourite spot of mine and we picked fish up steadily then.
The 6 lads on board managing 40 plus fish between them, making for a very enjoyable day in the end.
If you fancy a run this next weekend I have had a change of plans as a Xmas party we were going to has been cancelled so we have an empty boat on the Sunday.
Cheers for now,
Rich
