Pete Devonland from Warwickshire and his 6 mates joined us yesterday for their 1st trip of the year.
A nice gentle offshore breeze welcomed us on the morning so we decided a run to a couple of offshore wrecks was in order to start the day.
First stop didn't produce much at all to be honest with just a couple of codling and a dozen mackerel coming up.
The second mark however proved to be a good move with fish coming aboard from the off. The lads took around 50 fish from it which pretty much saw us through to the end of the day as we had a good distance to run back home.
The fish of the day was this beauty caught by Terry from London weighing in at 17 lb 14 oz. My lad Adam reminded me that the Summer competition starts next weekend and it would have been great to catch him then! We will be chasing his bigger brother then!!!!!!
Great to see you all again lads and we look forward to sailing with you again.

A few good days, a few not so good days on the boat this last week.
The weather has been the main problem here on the East coast and has taken the edge off what was extremely good fishing a week ago. I would say the last few trips we have averaged around 30 to 40 cod per trip, which is a drop on the catch rate a week ago.
A Northerly swell has also hindered us a bit too, colouring the water up a bit on the more inshore marks. It will clear again soon though hopefully.
The summer comp starts here at Whitby on Sat 23rd June.
We only have 2 days left now with any room.
They are :-
Thursday 12th. Room for 2. Individuals very welcome.
Sunday 15th. Room for 2. Individuals very welcome.

Ricky Butler, big Alister and their mates from Leeds joined us on Monday for the first of their trips this year.
I'd explained that we'd been working in very shallow water lately and they would be getting literally a full days angling in their 10 hour trip as we didn't have to travel very far at all.
We started off on the rock top just outside the harbour where we grabbed a few jumbo mackerel and a few codling to start the day.
We then proceeded back to where we had been for the past 2 days and the lads were quite amazed at just how close to the shore we were when we stopped. Through the binoculars you could see rabbits running around on the side of the cliffs!! From the very start the lads were in to the cod catching on both the shads and the hokkai traces. A good number of double ups coming aboard on the multi hook traces.
At the end of the day the lads ended up with well over 100 cod from the grounds.
On the way back to port we had a stop at the "Bell bouy" to see if the mackerel were still there. They were. They bagged a further 70 -80 in just 2 drifts to take for the barbecue and friends.
All in all a cracking day for the boys.
Remember, the summer comp starts on the 23rd June. £5000.00 cash 1st prize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Days left with room are :-
Mon 25th. Room for 4.
Thurs 12th July. Room for 6.
Sun 15th. Room for 6.
Individuals are welcome to join us as always.
Cheers & tight lines as ever

Some quite superb fishing on the Shy-Torque III over the last 4 days with catches of cod exceeding the 100 mark !!!
The great thing too is that we are working literally 1/4 mile from the shore and even closer at some times, so stacks of fishing time for you. !!
The water is like gin inside at present and the fish are in a feeding frenzy taking anything you throw at them.
Come and grab a bag full whilst they are there!!
PS!!!!! Just 3 dates left with room in this years summer competition which starts 23rd June. They are :-
Monday 25th June. Room for 4.
Thursday 12th July. Room for 6.
Sunday 15th July. Room for 4.

Some varied catches aboard the Shy-Torque this last week or so.
The algae is still playing its role in making things difficult in places here at Whitby but when we find the clearer water the fishing has been ok. No great shakes and no real big fish landed but acceptable never the less with all the lads taking a nice bag of cod home for the table.
The last 5 or 6 trips have seen the lads average around the 50 fish mark for the boat which isn't too bad.
Bill Barraclough from Barnsley is pictured with a few of his fish from the other day.
We have room for a few next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and the tides are perfect for wrecking.

A lovely day at sea yesterday with my brother in law Dave Kitchingman and 4 of the members of Bradford SAC. 5 other lads joined the boat too.
The lads worked well all day and ended up with a nice few fish to take for the table. Best cod was only 7 lbs. A good number of codling around the 5 lb mark too.
Andy Holmes from Derbyshire is pictured with a few of his catch.

Today George Ho and his mates from Manchester chartered the boat. He and the lads have a trip a month aboard the Shy-Torque and today's trip was a fairly good one.
We started off on a few wrecks to the North side of the harbour. The first one didn't produce much more than half a dozen or so but the second wreck did produce nicely The lads took 25 nice plump cod to around the 7 lb mark. We then moved off shore for some ground fishing where they continued to pick away with the cod for the rest of the day.
A nice day all round with great company and again some lovely summer weather.
George is pictured with one of his many "doubles" of the day.
