Some quite outstanding fishing for the boys today on the boat. A group of 6 lads taking the boat meant oodles of space for them and oodles of fish too!!
Regular angler Nigel Hall from East Cowton showed the rest of the team how to go on and ended up with nearly 8 stone of cod and ling himself ( 112lb )
A great days work by anyone's standards.
Doubles and trebles boated for a good hour or so at the start of the day ensured everyone went home with a cracking bag of fish.
A beaming Nigel is pictured!!

A mate of mine from Batley in Leeds had the boat booked on the 10th Aug. Sadly Ahmed couldn't make the trip due to international work commitments and had to fly to Bahrain the night before the trip.
The rest of the lads managed the trip and had a terrific day just 2.2 miles from the harbour with a cracking catch of over 100 fish!!
A load of Mackerel at the bouy at the end of the day rounded it off to perfection.
Ahmed has since called me to tell me how jealous he is and is in the process of booking several more trips before the end of the season.
Aka who stood in for Ahmed is pictured with a lovely plump codling. -

Regular angler from York Ian Hart and a mixed group had a cracking day with the boat on the 9th with codling to just over 8lb.
Long may this weather continue and long may the codling be plentiful too.

The weather is continuing to be kind to us all here on the North East and the lads are taking full advantage of it and the good sport from the codling too.
Local lad Graham had a run off with us and managed a good half a box of codling (50lb)
A cracking tan by the end of the day too!! -

Simon Nutall and some of his friends joined the boat on the 5th August and had a very pleasant days fishing.
No vast amounts of fish it has to be said but a cracking day weather wise with each of the lads leaving with plenty for the table and freezer.

Mixed fortunes as ever over the Spring tide period. Some good days, some not so good days, but as ever, we endeavour to try and meet the expectations of our ever loyal crews on the Shy-Torque.
Hats off to the boys who fish these rather "heavy" tides, and again, those who are prepared to work extra hard on them are rewarded with a good bag of fish to take.
Ted Sabin, a regular aboard the boat, showed the rest of the lads the way home the other day with a lovely bag of 14 cod and 3 ling. Alan Sutcliffe, his mate, with a similar number too.
Ted is pictured with a couple of his fish.

Had 5 lads booking the boat for today. Phil Parkes and his mates from west Yorkshire.
A weather forecasters nightmare I'm sure here on the East coast for today's forecast. Some saying no wind, others giving a fresh NE breeze. Last forecast at 6pm last night said we go, so we had the lads through.
The breeze was a little more than predicted this morning but our seasoned anglers decided that we should give it a go seeing as they were already in town. Some skippers thought that we were "Dick Turpins" ( 5 boats sailed and some got the whole day in with a terrific catch) but when your lads have been going to sea nearly as long as me and know the score then we can only oblige and hopefully find a few!
2 hours angling on the rough ground only 3 miles offshore resulted in the boys collecting over 20 codling between them which they were very happy with indeed. Another few trips trip booked on the strength of it !!!
The lads are pictured with a few of their codling.
Happy fishing!!

American Tim Maas and his friends from Cambridgeshire joined us the other day and experienced some steady fishing on a stiff NW breeze which hindered the efforts somewhat!!!
First timer Tim and pals gathered around 60 fish for the day which was cut short due to the conditions. The lads tried really hard for their fish which was to be admired. Regularly winding back to the boat when the lines lifted too far certainly paid off for them. Proving the age old point, "The harder you work, the more fish you will catch"
Tight lines as ever

Regular angler and good mate Nigel Hall has been spending a lot of time fishing with us just recently.
He says his chest freezer is almost full of cod now after doing his 6th trip with us the other day!!!
Fantastic fishing at present.
Give me a ring anytime between 8am and 8pm to arrange your trip.
Tight lines

The cod fishing here at Whitby continues to be great.
The group on board today were a mixed lot coming from all directions on the compass!
We came across some really good ground fishing yesterday on the 9 mile and returned there again today to find it was fishing even better. The stamp of cod was much better too with fish nudging just over 14lbs.
We tried for 3 weeks in the Summer comp to get fish like this without success this year and the very day after it's over...................... HA!!!!! Ah well, that's the great thing about the game. You never know.
I would just like to congratulate my life long mate of 40 years, Paul Eddon, Skipper on the Whitby charter boat Trot-On, on his great win in this years Summer comp. Fantastic result mate. WELL DONE to you and Mick Leonard who caught the cracking winning fish. A superb Ling of 24lbs 2oz. Mick wins £5000.00 in cash for his fish!!! I'm sure Paul will be getting a beer or 2 out of it!!!
Todays biggest fish on the Shy-Torque is pictured with its captor John Rowley from Rotherham. A lovely cod of 14lbs 1oz.
Come and grab some great sport whilst it's here!!
Tight lines as ever
