19.08.2018.
1st day back at work today after the break with a mixed group of lads joining us.
The forecast wasn't brilliant but with the breeze blowing off land we were able to work some stretches of ground close to shore.
We worked the same strip of ground South of the harbour until around 11.30 am where the lads gathered some 40 or so cod to around 7 lbs. Great sport in 60 ft of water!!
Sadly, when the wind swung to the North West it did spoil things as we lost the drift.
Working our way back towards Whitby we stopped on several more marks for just a handful of codlings. Mackerel fishing was our last stop at the bell bouy where the lads were "dipping and filling" with them!
All in all, a good day for the lads who will be returning in September for their next trip.
Paul Edwards and his mates are pictured with some of their catch.
Cheers and tight lines,
Rich

COD GALORE!!!!!!
Yesterdays team was made up with a mixed group of lads from Middlesborough, Blackburn, East Cowton and Bedale in North Yorkshire.
We started the day gathering the bait on the Whitby rock where the lads were straight in to strings of good size mackerel. After just a couple of minutes we had enough on the boat for the day.
We then started work for the white fish on the ground on the 5 mile which was steady to say the least with just a half dozen taken although they were a reasonable stamp of cod and ling. Cod to around the 4 to 6 lb mark and a ling of 9 lb.
This wasn't quick enough so we moved a little further to the 8 mile ground where the lads started picking away straight from the off. For the rest of the day we hardly moved at all as the cod was coming to the boat in really good numbers. At one point just after slack water it really was like winding the clock back 25 years!!
At the end of the day the 7 of them had a good 30 stone of fish between them. The better fish were taken on the fresh mackerel and squid bait but the majority of the catch were taken on the shads.
A bonus for Jim Arthur from Blackburn was a belting lobster of 5 lb 8 oz!!! Jim was snagged in the bottom and when his line came free he hauled him up on the old braid which it was tangled up in. Get your lottery ticket bought mate!!!
The lads are pictured with a few of their fish.
Tight lines as ever,

No fear!!!! The Bozs are back in town...After the disappointment of our last trip being cancel due to high winds. The Tuesday on the competition period, and then finding out the £5 k winning fish was caught the very next day !!! We wasn't looking forward to catching anything big as this would put us even down more. Anyway first off mackerel for baits which took 10 minutes to catch 50 of big mackerels. Then 30 minutes steam out to first wreck producing cod, ling,coley and 3 Pollock to all. Rough grounds was better on shags, but bigger fishes were nail on baited muppets. Cod range from 1-3lbs size with the biggest cod 7-8lbs. Lost personally 12 sets of weights and end tackle, so a big Thank you, rich for putting me on the side of boat where the rig would hook the wreck...If it wasn't for your son Adam the swear words would defo put the fishing off!! Looking forward to competition day in September. Armed with more Weights.....GeorgieO

Some quite superb fishing on the boat this last few trips.
George Ho and his mates from Manchester landing on a belter of a trip yesterday.
We worked a wreck to start the day taking around 40 fish from it with cod to around the 8 lb mark and ling to around 10 lb.
The rest of the day we worked the rough ground and they ended up with in excess of 140 fish for the day. One of our best days so far this year!!
The lads are pictured inset with some of their catch.
Cheers for a cracking day lads and see you next time.

Some lovely plump codling knocking about at the moment here at Whitby.
My good mate Nigel Hall and my lad Adam knocking a good box out between them the other day. Most of the fish falling to the shads.
The ground around the 3 to 5 mile producing a reasonable amount of fish so plenty of fishing time too!!
Check the calendar for any availability and as ever we will sail with a minimum 4 anglers. Individuals are always welcome on the boat as well as any newcomers to the game.
We will sharpish get you into the swing of it!
Cheers for now,

Not had much of a chance to report just recently what with the hectic summer competition just finishing.
A cracking 3 weeks fishing & weather too for all concerned with just 1 day out of the 23 lost to bad weather. Something of a record to be fair.
The fishing was good over the competition in general with some good bags of fish landed. We didn't manage the overall winner in this years event but did have a good sprinkling of daily prize winners for the lads.
Our best fish falling to Richard Todd from Hornsea. A nice ling of 15 lb 4 oz winning a 1st daily on the day.
The fishing continues to be good at Whitby. The mackerel have started showing up in force too, on the doorstep, which is great news.
Rich Todd is pictured inset with our best of the competition.
Places available over the next couple of weeks are :-
Thursday 26th July. Room for 6.
Tuesday 31st July. Room for 4.
Wednesday 1st August. Empty boat. ( Will sail with just 4)
Thursday 2nd August. Room for 3.
As ever, individuals are very welcome.

Some very reasonable inshore fishing again this week working in the shallow water.
Yesterday we were hard ashore again, working the ground off Port Mulgrave in 60 ft where the lads picked away steadily until the weather turned against us around 2pm.
Fish were coming aboard on the bait and also fair and square on the shads too so the water is nice and clear again there at the moment. Sadly we are predicted a Northerly swell again which will colour the water on the inshore marks again for a few days.
With the summer competition starting on Saturday we will be working the wrecks again looking for the £5000.00 winner !!
Good luck to all those who are fishing with us in the competition again this year.
Tight lines
Rich
