The Uptiding season is upon us here at Whitby.
I get back from from my annual holiday on October 28th. I can see by the weather forecast theres a huge northerly due this week which will bring the uptiding on.

Another good day on the Mistress with Rich, set off on a lovely morning from port first stop mackeral for bait, then up the coast to the first mark a cuople of fish taken, cod and ling, on to the next mark.
We covered wrecks and rough ground for quite a busy day every body getting fish on shads , hokkias and bait and I got my usual bleggs (pouting) (one of these days I'll get the record) Rich as usual netting fish and giving advice everyone went home with plenty of fish. -

Well that's another summer festival done, we didn't win this time but we got some final placings on the table with many daily prizes under our belts too!
The fishing was hard the last couple of days with the tides being enormous, yesterday though with the first drop we managed a sready 40 codlings on our inshore 6 hour trip along with a few mackerel too.
The best fishing has been over the neap tides and with the tides dropping out this week i would imagine the fishing will pick up with it.
We have places available
Thursday 19th - 7 places
Saturday 21st - 1 place
Sunday 22nd - 1 place
Thursday 26th - 10 places
Friday 27th - 10 places
We only need 3 people minimum to sail, so if youre interested in a trip with me on the Mistress here at Whitby prices start at £5 per hour per person.

What an absolutely fabulous day today here at Whitby on Mistress
West Cliff School chartered the whole boat to run a number of trips for year 6.
We ran 3, 3hour trips so we could get everyone to sea for the chance of a few fish.
We found plenty of fish for the 1st time anglers totalling 50-60 codlings and around 20 mackerel everyone had an awesome time.
Heres a big thank you to West Cliff for booking me again for the 3rd year running and giving me chance to put a smile on the kids faces.
If anyone's interested in running a similar group trip with large numbers of anglers I can source extra boat if needed too.
Give me a call on 07977 436903 or e-mail seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk

Last Saturday marked the start of Whitby Charter Skippers Association grand summer festival.
So far Mistress anglers have fared well with us taking the top spots in the 1st two days and joint 3rd on the third day.
Tomorrow we have a day away from the festival running 3 trips for our local primary school, West Cliff.
We also have a shark trip on friday, but other than those days we're eager to get our anglers among the fish and hopefully among the prizes!
Hire tackle is available, with the addition of a few new rods, all kitted out with saltist reels and braid.
If youre interested in booking with us, the trip is £50 with an entry fee of around £5 per person.

Its been around a week since our last update from Whitby.
We've had a mixed week with ups and downs with weather. The better fishing is still inshore. We've seen a mixture of species including Ballan wrasse. Sea scorpions, tadpole fish, lesser spotted doggies plus the usual suspects.
We've worked wrecks and reefs with baited hokkais and shads over the smaller tides and as theyve lifted weve hàd more northerly swell and the inshore has coloured up again so we got the anchor back out the last two days.
Our best day was yesterday uptiding where between 6 of us we boated over 100 codlings best angler getting over 30 himself. The biggest was ounces short of 10lb.
We've plenty of space midweek and also over the upcoming festival. The entry fee is usually around £5 per person on top of your charter fee.
If your interested in a trip with me on Mistress whether youre experienced or a novice gìve me a call or text on 07977 436903
