  • 15/08/2013 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    15 Aug 2013 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    The inshore Skate fishing remains good with some large female fish around, with fresh Mackerel the bait of choice. The weather has been generally good allowing us offshore although the inshore fishing has been better with plenty of Smoothounds when crab bait is available, they will also take squid or cuttle bait.
    Bass fishing is improving with the big girls following the mackerel shoals, now is the time to fish the big mackerel baits, battle through the Doggies to land the fish of a lifetime.
    Last weeks individuals trip turned up some fine fish with Lee landing 4 good Hounds to 8lb along with a nice Tub Gurnard on crab bait while Jamie's group landed 5 Skate to 9lbs on mackerel strips.
    The offshore wreckfishing is slowing with just a few Cod & Pollack, maybe the unusually warm water is getting too much for the coldwater loving Cod. A visit offshore yesterday showed improvement with Richards group landing a good haul of Cod & Pollack to double figures on jellyworms and shads along with Jumbo Mackerel on the banks. The best of the Pollack being a shade under ll lb. The water will soon cool and a fresh run of Cod should arrive for the autumn wreck fishing as they move inshore for the winter.
    Weekday and some weekend dates still available for groups and individuals so give me a call and come fishing off Ramsgate before this glorious summer ends.

  • 08/08/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    8 Aug 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The shark fishing here at Whitby is without a doubt the best I've seen for a number of years.

    After last years desperate lack of them it would seem that there are more now than ever.

    Todays sharking trip was more of a family trip with just my Brother-in-Law Dave and Nephew Ben on board.

    Sailing at 6am this morning we stopped to gather some fresh mackerel for the chum stocks which we had on board in no time. Some big mackerel too.

    We steamed out to our usual mark and began our fishing at 8.45am. At 11.30am we were joined by a bull seal. Not what we wanted to see! Not 1 minute after he had turned up we got a run on one of the furthest baits. 10 seconds after that take we had another take on the shallow bait closest to the boat. All hell let loose !!

    The closest one luckily dropped the bait which just left us with the one fish on. We sharpish wound the other baits back to the boat and Ben began the fight.

    The clock kept ticking.................................and ticking.........................................and after a 2 hour 45 minute battle we had our first glimpse of it. A korker of a fish to be sure.

    10 minutes later and we had Ben's prize on board. A fantastic fish. Lenghth 88" Girth 54"

    Equation calculated the fish at 320lbs.

    Ben has the bug now and will be trying for another one before the season comes to a close.
    Ben on the right of the picture.

    Super tight lines !!

  • 08/08/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    8 Aug 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Dean Parsons and 4 of his mates on the boat yesterday.

    The lads from Easingwold had a cracking days sport working the rough ground between 3 and 8 miles from shore.

    The lads were all baited up with fresh mackerel on the Hokkai traces and the cod and ling were loving it!!
    With each drift producing up to 6 fish the lads soon had enough fish on board to warrant an hours mackerel fishing for the barbecues! We returned to the bouy where we'd had a great picking of mackerel in the morning to find .....................None !!!

    Ah well that's fishing lads.

    Richard Buffy is pictured with the best fish of the day. A lovely ling of 21lb 2oz.

    When I told him that the fish would have won him £5000.00 a couple of weeks ago he nearly fainted !

    The lads will be a back again soon.

    Rich.

  • 04/08/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    4 Aug 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The fairer sex sometimes join the lads for a days fishing on the Shy-Torque and this last week saw Theresa from Borough Bridge try her hand at it. She was fishing alongside her Dad David from Harrogate.

    This was Theresa's first ever trip on a boat and it seemed that ( as is often the case ) that lady luck was shining down on her!

    She boated the first couple of fish on the day. Not big fish by any means, but she was over the moon with them both.

    She managed 4 fish before falling a little under the weather!

    Theresa is pictured with a small pollack of just under 3lbs.

  • 03/08/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    3 Aug 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The cod fishing here at Whitby is getting better by the day with some good bags of fish for most of our anglers on the Shy-Torque.

    The crystal clear water inshore now means that we are able to get a great days sport within minutes of leaving the harbour.

    The 3 mile ground is now producing some lovely fishing with a good stamp of fish coming aboard most days now.

    Richard Lodder and a couple of his mates from Chesterfield joined us the other day and enjoyed some great cod fishing on the boat.

    Richard is pictured with one of his better fish.

    Tight lines
