Sailed with just the 3 lads yesterday. Worked some scrap 9 miles from shore.
Paul, Richard and Alan picked around 20 fish from the wreck. Mainly cod to just over 6lb. Baited rigs fished the best with fresh mackerel and unwashed squid.
Just 1 day left in the upcoming competition which starts this coming Saturday. Check the calendar for places.
Cheers

Another couple of slow days for the lads on the boat. Monday's team taking around 25 fish. Really struggled for white fish yesterday with just 15 fish being boated. Fortunately the mackerel are still running in huge numbers!
The baited rigs fishing better for us at the moment.
Hoping for an improvement once this set of spring tides pass.
Cheers

For some time now a few of my mates have been after doing a trip out to the wrecks where I used to work commercially many moons ago.
On Wednesday this week we managed to get them out to a couple of them. The first stop was the Battleship some 47 miles from Whitby.
We sailed at 4am to catch the remainder of the ebb and arrived there at 7.20am. The wreck clearly hadn't been touched for some time and resulted in some cracking fishing for the lads. The 6 of them ending up with around 450lb of cod!
Best fish fell to Simon England from Barnsley with a cracking cod of 20lb 2oz. A PB for him. The heaviest cod caught from Whitby this year so far and possibly the heaviest cod caught so far this year in British waters. Well done to him.
Cheers for now

Some steady fishing lately for the lads on the Shy-Torque III
Yesterday we had a mixed group of lads enjoying a beautiful flat calm day.
Top rod on the day was my old biker mate Mick Jones from Chesterfield who ended up with 15 fish for himself.

We sailed today on near perfect conditions. Breathless with a gentle swell from the East.
First stop was for mackerel of which the lads took around 30 to see them through the day for their bait. Next 2 stops were over wrecks. The first one only throwing 4 or 5 fish out. The second one however gave us some steady fishing up and over slack water for an hour or so. Some nice plump cod to just over 7lb and a sprinkling of small ling boated. A big tide today and when it got running on the ebb the fishing slowed up until the next slack water when we picked some more codling up on the ground for the last hour.
Baited rigs fished best with the fresh mackerel doing the best. Shads picked a few up too.
Ivan Davey is pictured with his best of the day, a lovely cod of 7lb 2 oz.
Cheers

A great days fishing for the lads on the Shy-Torque III today.
Some mackerelling at the bouy first followed by a couple of inshore wrecks. The lads taking 15 or so fish from them. Then a ride out to try some ground we haven't worked for some time.
The lads picked away nicely for 3 or 4 hours with ling boated to just over 10 lbs and cod to just over 7 lbs.
Young Jorge Blenkin had a slowish start but ended up showing the lads how to go on and boated the heaviest today at 10 lb 3 oz. Well done to the young guns!!
Goerge is pictured inset.

Hi all,
Since we got back to sea a couple of weeks ago after lockdown we have been flat out every day.
The fishing has been good too with catches on the day being anywhere between 40 and 100 fish with plenty of good size mackerel showing now too.
We have been restricted to taking 5 anglers for a while with the group gathering number being 6 but due to the social distance measure being reduced to 1m we are now taking a maximum of 8 anglers on the boat. This has been approved by our harbour master here in Whitby.
No monsters since our return but a nice steady picking of cod and ling both on the wrecks and on the grounds.
Calendar fully up to date.
Cheers for now Rich. -
