The Uptiding is in full swing at Whitby at the minute, before I left to come on holiday we were boating lots of codlings, with bags of 20 fish common with the more experienced anglers.
Im currently away and will resume my charters on the 25th of this month, also with the darker nights I'll be starting up with my night uptiding trips again.
With everyones safety and comfort in mind I'll be trying to limit all individual bookings to max of 8 people, as I have with all night trips from the start.
Also running 9/11 to 24/11 We have our Whitby Uptiding festival with a mahoosive £1000 up for grabs plus many daily cash prizes, all for £5 entry on top of your charter.
We've seen some cracking fish from the uptiding grounds this year including our biggest fish of the year.
If you're interested in booking on with me, drop me a text on 07977 436903 and ill get back to you as soon as possible.

After all this bad weather weve dropped back inshore uptiding with some great results.
The last two trips have thrown plenty of fish out, but yesterday after the huge northerly we managed to boat well over 100 codlings with loads of throw backs, most were over minimum size but the lads kept the best ones 40cm+ if they were deep hooked.
Im still getting messed around by people booking and not showing up, so please dont take offense at having to get deposits to me within 48 hours when asked.
We've plenty of availability from the 25th october and also into the next festival starting 9th November for 2 weeks. There's a massive prize board plus daily prizes.
Entry is £5 per person on top of your charter fee of £50. We will only be taking 8 anglers maximum on individual days, for maximum space and comfort, but will take upto 10 anglers on full boat bookings
We can supply hire tackle and bait if required for a little extra
If you're interested in a trip with me give a call or text on 07977 436903.

We started the week uptiding and as yhe tides have eased thd water has cleared slightly sllowing to get the shads to work, saturday was a poor day for us but the last two days have seen an improvement.
We put together an 3 hour evening trip for some of my friends and regular anglers aboard mistress, with young Nate Garret getting the best fish night. I have 5 places this comkng wednesday on an 3 hour evening trip.
We have spaces on day trips this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday too.

What a belting week we've had here at whitby! Unfortunately the wind has been to fresh to get to the wrecks and the water coloured too.
We've drpped back inside uptiding with some fantastic results, probably the best most consistent fishing we've seen all year so far, the lads/ladies being very happy with their days with us.
We have spaces next week tuesday 27th through to friday 30th,
we only need 4 people minimum to sail. Prices start at £5 per person per hour.
Hire tackle and bait can be provided for a little extra.

Time for an update from us as we hit a day of bad weather at whitby!
The fishing this past week has been pretty good, some nice fish landed by our anglers, just missing out on the dailys buy a few oz each day.
We lost an enormous fish the other day, so it just goes to show theres still some big fish about.
Yesterday with the fresh sw winds we were kept well inshore, everything came together with the water clearing and we absolutely smashed it on shads, the 6 lads must have caught and returned around 150 codlings for the day, nothing big but most on the 2lb to 5lb range. They kept a few but a lot were returned.
Its been a while coming but it looks like the mackerel are set in at last too.
If youre interested in a trip with me, drop me a call or text on 07977 436903.

Ive been meaning to drop an update onto our page from the Whitby Charter Skippers Association - R.N.L.I charity boat angling competition on 09/06/2019
We'd had a tough day on our charter, so no one was more surprised than me when I followed a hunch and it really paid off for us. We fished just one wreck on the evening and it was non stop the whole time with 3 or 4 rods in every drift.

Time for an update!
The last week has been fairly consistent, the water is finally starting to clear from this may water.
We're beginning to see a few mackerel boated too so they should be with us in better numbers in the next couple of weeks.
The wrecking has been producing some nice cod and ling for our anglers with us getting fish into double figures fairly regularly.
Yesterdays best angler took 14 fish for the table, we also saw a cracking cod bouncing around the 12lb mark on the boat scales for mistress regular Matt from Sheffield.
We've getting the fish on a mixture of bait and shads, it always worth bringing squid with you.
We've still some good tides available in the upcoming festival, and also plenty of mid week dates all other times.
Another date for your diary is the RNLI charity night which is Sunday 9th June, we have 7 places available, this is a very popular evening donating to a good cause.
