Seasoned campaigner and regular angler aboard the Shy-Torque, John Wilcock, has had a few belting days fishing with us in this years Summer competition.
John, who has won this competition more than any other angler and has taken over £12,000 from the events over the years was chasing the big one again yesterday!!
Working a wreck just over 30 miles off, John hooked in to what we thought was the winner at 9.30am.
When we weighed the fish at the scales at the end of the day we found that he had missed the top spot by a mere 1lb !!!!
Johns fish was quite possibly heavier than the current leader when we first boated it but after 7 hours and 30 mins out of the water they do lose a fair bit of weight. That's the way it goes!!
John is pictured with his ling of 20lb 5oz which is currently 2nd overall in the competition and won him a 1st daily prize.

David Laine from Richmond fished with us on the second day of this years Summer angling comp and was lucky enough to land a cracking cod of 20lb 3oz. A PB for David!!
His cod is currently holding 3rd overall in the event and could stand to win him a very nice £500.00 plus another £500.00 for the heaviest overall cod.
Keeping everything crossed for you mate!!!

The big cod and ling are certainly showing up here at Whitby now with plenty of double figure fish being caught.
The competition here is nearly over again for another year and the big ones have been falling a few of the lads fishing on the Shy-Torque.
Nigel Hall from East Cowton nr Darlington had a cracking ling of 17lb 14oz yesterday which took a second daily prize.

Only 4 days left now in this years Summer angling competition here at Whitby and with the weather rearing it's ugly Northerley head at us yet again it's looking like it's going to be down to the weekend trips to try and find that winning fish.
The lads on the Shy-Torque have however experienced some tremendous fishing both on the ground and on the wrecks over the last couple of weeks or so during the event.
Paul Siddle from Patrington nr Hull was the first on the boat to make a serious impression on the leader board with his lovely cod of 19lb 1oz which was also a PB for him. A 1st daily prize winner in the competition and currently holding 4th place overall.
Well done Paul!!

Hi all,
Been a long time since my last report which I must sincerely apologise for but I've had some serious issues going on in my life just recently. I won't bore you!
To the fishing!
The last month or two have not been overly exceptional with the cod fishing but what we have been getting has been of a reasonable stamp with cod to just over the 15lb mark. Better things around the corner now (summer) is here????!!
The shark fishing here at Whitby has yet again been good with 5 fish boated so far out of 8 trips and several fish also being lost. The best fish to press this year being Richard Furness's at around 235lb (pictured)
The weather at the moment is not playing fair at all with the wind coming out of the North for the last week or so. None of the boats have moved anywhere due to this but we are hoping for some lighter winds over the next few days, fingers crossed!!
If you fancy a trip anytime, either a general days bottom/wreck fishing or a days sharking please don't hesitate to give me a call on 07733 233352
I'll try not to leave it so long till my next reports!!
Cheers

Some fantastic cod fishing to be had here at Whitby on the Shy-Torque at the moment.
Sadly the weather has let us down badly now with fresh NE winds.
The wrecks out on the 20 mile stream have produced not only good amounts of cod but also some real quality fish too. Our best fish over the last few trips falling to Gordon from Rill.
Gordon is pictured with his cracking cod which was a shade over 15lbs.
Happy angling!

Took a mixed group off yesterday. The weather was on our side with just a light Easterly blowing so we had a run out to the wrecks on the 20 mile and then onwards to the wall.
To be perfectly honest it wasn't the best of days fish wise. The lads probably had around 40 codling and ling mixed. I was wondering whether the swell the previous couple of days maybe had had some impact as the clarity was down on the previous week.
Anyway we had a great laugh as always and the lads were pleased with the day.
100% effort as ever. Some are winners and some are just ok!!

A big swell generated from the high winds to the North of us came through last night and has somewhat hindered the more inshore fishing marks here at Whitby.
However, Paul on Trot-On and ourselves with the faster boats had a run out to the wall today where our cruise was rewarded with some excellent cod fishing. Again, nothing big, but a couple of daily prize winners (1st and 3rd) on the Shy-Torque made it all worth while for the lads.
If we have to go distance to find you a good bag of fish then that's what we will do, as ever!!!
Cheers
Rich.
