Report on-board Lady Grace
3 hour fishing trip with a lovely couple, Adam and Ellison. we started off with a few nice sized whiting and as the tide got up the fishing got well underway, I started them off with 2 cod, one of 2lb and another of 3lb then Ellison caught her first cod of 1lb 7 oz. By now Adam was under pressure to catch a cod, we tried his rod uptide and down tide but still no luck. Then I had my 3rd cod weighing 4lb 4oz and Ellison was in with another cod of 2lb. By now Adam was concerned for his reputation being beaten by ladies but was a good sport. He tried his hardest but Ellison ended with the last cod of the trip weighing in 5lb 7oz

Report on-board Mistress
Firstly I would like to congratulate Mick on Avante and Ken for getting the biggest fish of the Uptide competition, well done guys!
It fished well for us on Mistress too, we took 3rd and 4th heaviest fish overall, the biggest of any other species and junior section too. We only missed out on the heaviest bag by 1lb!
The fishing was slow on a couple of days but others the fishing was exceptional, our best day saw us boating over 90 cod! we had another day taking over 80 too.
The Inshore competition is over now for this year, but with the event being so successful, sponsorship has been pledged for next year and dates set! November 8th to 23rd
The inshore fishing is still producing good numbers of fish, even though we are tied up at the minute with the weather, the shore fishing is throwing out lots of codlings and few better fish reported.

Report on-board Cleveland Princess
The times are changing as the seasons as well our fishing marks are all so changing but we are still getting the goods all though the Cod that we are targeting are not showing as yet only a sprinkling of small fish but Whiting and Dabs are plenty in areas that we don't normally fish the last few trips we have had in excess of over 300 Whitings and 100 Dabs and 3 Rooker that we were not expecting,it wont be long now before the Cod start to show and when they do look out as we are 100% sure there will be some good sized fish coming to the boat this will give every one the boast we all need,bp.

Fishing Report by Sam Cumming
on Silver Spray II (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Silver Spray II
At this time of year the winter season is well and truly upon us so the only sort of fishing I’ll be doing for the foreseeable future is for the inshore cod and whiting. The season was slightly late starting with the first cod hitting the deck on the 7th of November, but since then we haven’t had a blank day with 10 fish in the last 5 trips. Dave Perrett and Robert Summers supplied us with today’s action with a pair of 20lb fish. Dave hooked a pout on his 3 squid bait which was then taken by a very greedy cod, this highlights the importance of having both hook points showing well on your penel rig otherwise I expect the cod would have claimed its prize unchallenged. As well as the cod and whiting we have been kept busy with congers, thornback rays, bass and bull huss. The selection of quality species is what makes inshore winter fishing one of my favourite parts of the season. On the 14th of November Silver Spray II attended the annual Lowrance British Cod Championship down in Lymington, unfortunately due to weather we had to cut it short to just 1 day rather than 2. We managed 4 cod on the day, the biggest of which got angler Dave Wood 3rd biggest fish on the day. Dave’s brother Jon caught all 3 of the other fish and came in second place for overall bag weight, he used a squid and crab cocktail which proved very effective. Thanks to my anglers efforts I was extremely proud to be named top skipper of the 2013 comp, even if I only scraped the top spot by 10oz!!
We are now taking bookings for Cherbourg and Alderney trips in 2014 for individuals and charters. If you would like to fish regularly on a Saturday please email us on info@silverspraycharters.com View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Well, the work on the boat is running to schedule with both engines now out of the boat. The clean and paint up in the engine room is now in progress!!
If the weather doesn't get too bad for us we should be able to work on her every day. Tarpaulin's at the ready if it does change!!
I will keep you updated as we go along lads. The availability calendar is showing blue throughout November to give me chance to get well on with the work on the boat, but please feel free to give me a call at the end of the month if you fancy a run off as I do have the use of a mates boat. I will sail with a minimum of 4 anglers.
A massive well done to Mick Leonard on AVANTE for winning the inshore competition here at Whitby. A mate and work collegue of mine here at Whitby. Congratulations Mick and also to Ken Lydell (winner)
Last years inshore competition was won by the Never Can Tell. Seems these are the boys who know the inshore marks better than anyone else here at Whitby!!
Cheers for now lads
