    Report on-board Mistress

    What a great few days of settled weather we're having at the minute!

    We sailed again yesterday with a handful of regulars, the tide took a bit of time in getting going, but once it did we settled in for some great sport.

    The lads all picked away steady keeping a few each of the better stamp of fish and returning plenty.

    Squid and worm being the most popular bait, but cart and squid cocktail taking a few too.

    Coming up we've the WCSA uptide festival, initially it booked up straight away, but in the last couple of days weve had some cancelled spots,
    So:
    25/11 - 1 place available
    1/12 - 1 place available
    2/12 - 3 places available

    If you fancy joining me for a trip, give me a call on 07977 436 903, if you cant get through please leave a text or WhatsApp message and I'll get back to you ASAP!

  • 15/11/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    15 Nov 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    It's been a long time since I've posted a catch report, due to the fact that I've not been out to sea!! We've endured Storms Babet and Ciaran which have really stirred things up. Pretty much putting us straight into Winter Uptiding mode.

    The first trip out for a few weeks was last Thursday. Originally the trip was advertised as a wrecking trip, as it was a small tide. The winds were moderate and "off land" which meant we couldn't run off to the 20 mile wrecks. If we were going to fish, it would be an Uptiding trip, or nothing. Giving everyone the chance to drop out if they didn't fancy it, I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was still keen for a day out.
    We spent the day on the Northern Uptiding grounds and it didn't take long for the lads to get to grips with the fishing. First stop on the Ebb saw a steady stream of small Codling, an odd Pouting and a "Berried" Lobster (which was returned immediately).

    We had three moves during the Ebb Tide and and picked up fish at every move. Slack water wasn't great (as usual when Uptiding) but the first sniff of the Flood Tide saw a few better sized Codling come up. The Flood wasn't great, but everyone got a few to take home. As usual, Squid and Black Lugworm did all the bites.

    Sunday saw a similar sort of day, but with a slightly bigger tide. Running North again, the lads picked away, but the average size was still small (50/50 on throwbacks to keepers). There were a couple of experienced Uptiders aboard and they demonstrated that with good bait and good presentation, there are plenty of bites to be had.

    Experienced angler Jason Shields had fresh worm and crab cart with him, but for whatever reason, the undersized fish just terrorised him all day. It was a real head scratcher, as fishing next to him, Dave Fowls managed to get a stream of slightly better sized fish ending up with a dozen Codling to keep.

    Apologies for the lack of fish pictures, but we didn't get anything above 3-4lb, with the majority being smaller. The fishing was far from prolific, but it was great to finally have a couple of days back at sea, spent in great company. Thanks Lads

  • 14/11/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    14 Nov 2023 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Yesterday saw a new event here at whitby. Rich Ward owner/skipper of Shy Torque, put together a few boats in organising a multiple county police uptide/downtide/side plopping competition.

    It was meant to.be over 2 days, but sadly we lost the 1st day to weather, and quite a few anglers dropped out, the 4 boats, Alliance, ourselves, Sea urchin 3 and Shy Torque all sailed on the 2nd day with 4 or 5 anglers a piece in a growing sea.

    We had to work hard as the fish werent biting as hard as we'd expect on such a good tide, we moved plenty as bites dried up. Luckily it paid of for us, we had winner Iain Robb aboard who managed to boat 10 nice Cod, and a couple of other bits to amass 1191 points.
    Iain also got the biggest fish of the day at a shade under 7lb.
    We had others in the 5lb and 6lb bracket too. There were plenty of just size fish that were returned.

    All in all a very nice relaxed day at sea,

    If you fancy a trip with me over the winter period, give me a call on 07977 436 903, if you cant get through please leave a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you ASAP.

  • 13/11/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    13 Nov 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We had a run out yesterday with just a small team on board.
    Regular angler Si England joined us, along with Waldek and his mates Lucasz and Bruce.

    The tides are heading toward the Springs again so we were back on the Uptiding marks and after a short 15 minute steam we were anchored and ready to go.

    Not a quick start, but as the tide speed increased so did the fishing. We were into the Codling and the first stop provided a steadyish picking for the first couple of hours resulting in around 30 fish being boated.

    Nothing of any size, with a good number of undersized returned safely and the keepers only running to just over 4 pounds tops.

    As slack water came on we decided a short move was in order so we moved up the coast a couple of miles. One Codling in 30 minutes! Not the best move ever!

    Using the flood, we dropped back to the first mark and the lads started picking away again.

    The count for keepers for the day was around 35 total with as many “chuck backs”

    Not many bigger fish running at present but still some good fun fishing with the lighter gear.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich

    The lads from the Braintree sea anglers had a busy trip the other day. We were on an inshore trip so of course there were lots of dogfish and whiting to be caught. The day started well with 4 rays in the first hour along with double shots of dogfish, whiting and some dabs. We moved around throughout the day and found one or two more rays on each mark as well as a dear little codling for Chris to end the day.
    I have spaces aboard Galloper this weekend and into next week.

  • 09/11/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    9 Nov 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We’ve spent a couple of days at sea Uptiding this week.

    We sailed Monday with just the two lads on board.

    Father and son Charlie and Jason from Manchester tried their hand at the inshore anchor work and really enjoyed the day with us.

    The tides haven’t really been ideal for Uptiding the last few days running at around the 4.4m range which doesn’t really push enough tide through for the job but we still managed to bag a few fish for the lads.
    30 fish or so boated with just 15 of those to keep with the rest going back safely.

    Tuesday we ran a different direction to try find a better fishing but sadly to no avail.
    Just a handful of fish up until noon.
    A short move back up the coast a couple of miles proved a bit more successful with another dozen or so fish boated.

    Slim pickings overall for the two days but great banter as ever and reasonable weather too.

    Hopefully some improvements from this weekend as the tides start running stronger again.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich

    It has been great to see one or two small codling mixed in with our inshore trips lately. Only small so far but nice to see and positive signs for the coming weeks. Ian was pleased to get the first one of the autumn. autumn is definitely running a little late this year so hopefully they will grow in size and numbers as time goes on. There are of course stacks of whiting and dogfish around. However in between them we are catching a few rays, dabs, pouting and the occasional bass or hound still. Offshore there are plenty of bass around and we will continue to target them into December this year as you can still keep in them.
