    Good evening guys! Heres an update from Whitby

    We've been lucky enough to get to sea a couple of times this week. Both days have been breezy and conditions not perfect but we've still managed to get amongst the fish!

    Best fish this week so far was a shade under 10lb, but we've seen plenty in 4-5lb bracket.
    And loads of 2-3lbers.
    Best bait continues to be black lug, dirty squid and crab cart.

    We have 6 spaces tomorrow (thursday 4th jan) and completely free for friday 5th jan. We only need 3 lads to sail. Trips are £5 per person per hour. Bait and tackle can be supplied at cost.

    If you're interested please give me a call or text on 07977 436903

    Happy Christmas guys, hope youve all had a lovely time.
    Leading up to the big day we ran a night trip, a few hours sleep then on to a day trip, my deckhand Clag and me were ready for break following our day at sea!

    The fishing was ok too, I only had 5 lads for the night trip but we all took a good few fish, 2 lads took a dozen cod and the rest of us 6/8 cod a piece so a good night was had by all.

    We were full for the day trip, but had a drop in tides, and a blustery day, meant we were limited to where we could fish, never the less we took a steady picking of cod finishing up with around 50 keepers again, plus chuck backs. The best angler getting around a dozen.

    Best bait remains black lug, unwashed squid and cart.

    We're running trips again from the 28th, with a day off for new years day.
    If youre interested in a days fishing with me give me a call on 07977 436903

    We've managed a couple of days at sea this week so far here at whitby, the weather has been very settled and we've had good fishing to go along with it.

    Both days saw 50/60 cod upto 7lb kept with around 30 chuck backs on top of that. Both days saw anglers taking over 10 cod home each.
    Best baits remain black lug, unwashed squid and cart.

    Iam putting an evening trip together this friday (22/12/17) itll run 6pm till midnight and cost £30 person. I have 3/4 people interested already so have space for another 4. Bait can be supplied if required.

    I will start my trips again on December 28th and continue on through winter until i have scheduled yearly out of water painting and maintence.

    If youre interested in a trip with me on Mistress either winter fishing or through the summer drop me a call on 07977 436903 or email me seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk.

    Summer weekends are starting to fill up on the better tides so please book sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

    Friday turned out to be a successful day and night for the Mistress anglers here at Whitby.

    Our day trip saw a good box of fish for the two lads that booked the full boat, they'd caught enough so I filletted their fish for them and got back in an hour and a half early, which gave me the opportunity to prepare for our night trip.

    We were all boarded and away for 545pm for our 6hr trip. We moved around a few places through the night and also had a slack water period so it wasnt as fast, best angler took 9 fish to 6lb 8oz. Everybody still caught fish to take home though with quite a few 4/5lbers boated.

    So with the weather now taking a bit of a down turn we'll be picking our windows in the weather to get out at the fish. If you want to book a trip with me text or call 07977 436903
    Bait available on request.

    Unfortunately we've lost the last two days of the Whitby Sea Anglers Uptide Festival here at Whitby to bad weather. On a plus note Mistress manged to secure 1st place this year, both in the heaviest fish and heaviest bags section, plus many places in the top 10 leaderboard.

    Graham Jones from Ackworth near Doncaster caught the winning 7lb 1oz cod netting him a massive £1000, hows that for an early christmas present!

    Local angler Alex Leadley got the two heaviest bags of the festival, his winning bag totalling over 61lb!
    His other bag was 51lb+ with a 40lb+ bag to Mistress regular David Gleadall from Huddersfield the same day.

    Heres a massive thankyou to all our anglers, sponsors and weigh masters, without you guys we wouldn't be able to hold these events.

    The catches on the uptiding grounds have been 2nd to none this winter with lots of very good catches with really good numbers of fish. There are plenty of the 2-3lb codlings which keep the rods rattling all day, with a sprinkling of 4-6lb fish and a few bigger ones to the lucky anglers that get them.

    We will continue to fish through the winter everyday weather allows. We will also continue to do the evening trips for those with work commitments.

    There looks to be a gap in the weather on friday, we only need a couple of peoole to sail.

    If you fancy jumping aboard for a trip youll get a warm welcome. Give me a call on 07977 436903 or message me on fb, Mistress Sea Angling Charters.

    Our anglers have had a pretty successful few days here at Whitby, as the fishing remains pretty damn good!

    We've lost a few days to bad weather again, but looking ahead to the next week we should get tuesday through to friday with availability each day. Plus we'll be sneaking another night trip in outside of the competition!

    In the current Whitby Sea Anglers Forum Uptide Festival thats running just now, Mistress anglers are faring quite well with the heaviest fish and heaviest bag to our name at the minute. Its still wide open though and weights easily beatable!

    Top baits have been Unwashed Squid, Black Lugworm and crab cart,
    peeler crab also worked very well for one gent this week with him bagging 20 cod to take home

    Martin at Whitby Angling Supplies (Next to Mr Chips on Church Street) is sponsoring this event, so if you need anything tackle or bait wise please use him where you can, he can put pre-order packages together for you so you save time on a morning 01947 603855 give him a call!

    Its 2345hrs and I've litterally just got in from my two trips today, we have absolutely smashed the cod all day and all night here at Whitby!

    Our day trip saw the Mistress anglers boat well over 100 cod with quite a few chuck backs, the best lad boating around 25 fish himself, my mate and local Mistress regular Alan Ward messaged me to say him and his pal had 4 stone in fillets between them and had had a fantasic day with us, absolutely awesome fishing by any standards.

    Our night trip saw the lads (and lasses) boat around 60 cod again with a few chuck backs.

    Best baits were Black lug, unwashed squid and crab cart. Which i can supply if required.

    The uptiding this year has seen more consistent and better bags of fish per angler than the wreck and ground fishing.

    Tomorrow is the start of the uptide festival with a massive £1000 for the first prize with only £5 per person entry fee on top of your charter.
    We have plenty of midweek dates available throughout the event, the whole of the two weeks has awesome tides.

    If you fancy a trip with me give a call or text on 07977 436903 or message me on facebook (Mistress Sea Angling Charters)

    Another few successful days this week at sea for lads aboard Mistress here at Whitby in between these bouts of shocking weather!

    Tuesday's 6 hour trip had been planned in for a good while, with no other takers other than Harvey and Tyler from saltburn celebrating tylers birthday that was it, I couldn't let them down so took the two excited lads, even though they'd never been boat fishing before they both left with 8 cod apiece upto 4/5lb, and thrown loads more back, well done boys!

    Wednesday we had a few regulars on, I thought we took a slow picking throughout the day but the lads had managed a respectable 50-60 codlings for the day upto 7lb, another great day.

    Thursday was a bit slower, we got some inshore wrecks before dropping back inside uptiding taking fish everywhere, some spots better than others. Everyone still left with a good few fish apiece.

    Black lug and squid fishing the best this week but fish still taking cart readily enough. We have bait available onboard if required please let me know your requirements the night before.

    Martin at Whitby angling will be opening specially for our anglers on Tuesday and Thursday mornings when we have a late start. Please ignor any rumours that you might hear about whitby angling supplies closing down, they have some superb bait instock including crab cart, as well as top of the range tackle and accessories.

    Uptide festival is fast approaching £1000 1st prize plus many other cash prizes available. Entry is £5 per person on top of the charter fee of £45.

    There looks to be a gap in the weather Tuesday then Thursday onwards were currently taking bookings. I will be looking to be running a night trip next week please keep an eye out for updates, please give me a call if you're interested in a trip with us on 07977 436903
