    Report on-board Mistress

    Friday 1st November - 4 hour trip

    I had a group of mates visiting Whitby and they wanted a shorter trip for the afternoon sorting out.
    We got a few more booked on too.

    first couple of spots were a bit slow so we moved until we came across a few fish, we managed around 20 Cod for the trip, which I didnt think was too bad.

    One of our regular lads Mick Thurlow bought his grandson Zak along, who caught his 1st Cod, Mick has since said he was over the moon with his first Cod. The first on many mate, well done

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The winter storms will be bringing in the Cod & Whiting, problem being its the weekends when the wind blows the most.
    Huge shoals of Herring around now making great bait for the Skate but lifting the Cod off the bottom making them difficult to catch on rod & line while the netters clean up. Still plenty of Bass around but again they are chasing the herring. Thankfully the Skate are quite happy on the bottom and are our main catch at the moment along with Whiting and Doggies. As the herrings move on so things should return to normal giving us a better chance with the Cod & Bass.
    Winter baits remain squid, lug & herring with crab being a fine bait if you can locate some.
    Pic shows Mark & Alan with a couple of nice Skate landed today.

    October Report 2013
    October started slow with a couple of trips early on plagued with Dogfish catching into the 100s luckily the Thornback Rays moved in with plenty being caught and the Whiting following closely behind with many anglers catching 20 fish each,as the month has drawn to an end Codling are starting to show now so by the next set of tides we would expect to be taking decent Cod,we can only assume that the Cod are several weeks late just like the Mackerel where in the Summer never mind thats fishing

    Report on-board Discovery

    Tuesday 29th October Alans group
    We left the marina and headed out to try and catch some fish for the table, we arrived at our mark for the morning and the lads where baiting the rigs up whilst the boat settled on the anchor,as soon as the 1st bait had touched the bottom Whiting began attacking it the fish started flying in with some of the whiting touching 1.5 lbs,These being closely followed by Thornback rays and Codling to 3lb 1oz. The fishing was like this all day so the lads opted to stay put and not move resulting in 15 rays to 9lbs 3 oz and possible 80 to 90 whiting

    Even though we got some good fish yesterday, the fishing was a bit slow for my liking, with this in mind I fished a different area today. and it payed dividends for us!

    The fishing was never hectic but we got fish everywhere we stopped, the best lad, Mistress regular Ceiren from Cumbria took 16 Cod himself upto 7lb, Next best bag went to Matt from York who also fishes Whitby very regularly taking 10 or 11 himself, Ceirens mate Liam, who took a daily prize in the main summer festival also took 8 Himself. I think the daily tally was easily between 50 and 60 Cod for the lads today

    Everyone had fish to take home.

    Best baits again was squid and worm, also tipped with a bit mussel.
