    WCSA Autumn Festival.

    Over the event we saw many good fish weighed in with a great effort from the skippers in the fleet and also the participating anglers.
    Here on Mistress we took the top spot, with a cracking Ling of 21lb 11 1/2oz. The fish fell to Harry from Rochdale, with him winning a total prize of £1050 for his efforts. It was Harrys first time fishing so it goes to show to dont have to be experienced to win! you just need a dollop of beginners luck! well done mate.

    We also took overall 3rd heaviest fish, with another good ling of 20lb 6 1/2oz for local angler Gary Smith from Whitby.

    Other notable fish was one of 18lb 3 1/2 oz for John Holder of Malton. we also took many fish from 10lb to 17lb

    I would like to extend a massive thankyou to all participants and sponsors for the event, without your continued support we wouldnt be able to hold the events.

    Following a successful day fishing the reefs here at Whitby on Sunday, taking a good few fish in to double figures, the best being 14lb 8oz, We had an evening trip booked with one of my regular anglers and his family. Marks kids are only young so to start with i suggested we have a crack at the uptiding to start with before going offshore for a few mackerel, seeing as I caught a few codlings from the shore the other night as well as getting plenty of bites.

    We got bites withing a few minutes of settling into anchor, and took several codling around 40cm in length, then young Sam got a better bite which resulted in a nice codling which took the boat scales to 4lb 12oz, we got a few more fish, then decided to head for a few Mackerel to finish the session with.

    All in all to say we only fished for around half an hour taking half a dozen codling was quite a good sign for the up coming uptiding season, which i believe will start early this year.

    We are currently experiencing a big northerly & when it dies down and we get back to sea on Thursday I think we will get fish uptiding. I currently have no one booked on and only need three people to make it viable for the day, if you fancy having ago at some early season inshore codling, give me a buzz on 07977 436 903

    cheers

    The north westerly wind has been blowing for a day or two here at Whitby keeping us tied up alongside.
    the last week has been a fairly productive one we have been averaging 30 to 40 fish for the boat per day,with us seeing plenty of fish into double figures as you would expect at this time of year and another wolf fish!

    We have seen more wolf fish this year than I ever remember seeing in any season. the lucky lad was very surprised to see it, Its always a pleasure to see different species onboard, this particular one setting a new boat record for Mistress

    More double figure fish today for the lads on Mistress.
    Unfortunately the weather misbehaved and didnt do what was forecast, so we had to cut the day short, the lads weren't disappointed though as we had taken plenty of fish including whiting, pouting, mackerel, launce, pollock, cod and ling. we had ling well into double figures the best 15lb and a couple of the cod were between 9lb & 10lb.
    needless to say the lads were delighted with their catch

    Early August

    Early August has fished well so far aboard the Mistress, as we would expect, with us taking double figure fish most days we put to sea.
    The mackerel are still here in numbers, giving us plenty of fresh bait for our days at sea.
    The shads continue to fish well also.
    The lads from Nottingham had a steady day with us over the weekend taking a good few fish into double figures and two wolf fish! we only normally see these prehistoric looking fish on the rare occasion so seeing two in a day was a bit of a surprise!
