  • 24/07/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    24 Jul 2013 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    I wasnt over optimistic with it being a 6m tide today.
    we managed a few fish yesterday from a bit of ground inshore whilst the tide wasnt flowing full bore so was eager to get back to it this morning.

    we got there just as the tide was easing and managed a few codlings before slack water on shads. over slack we popped some baits down and a manged a few ling into low double figures,

    as the tide got away we took a slow picking of fish getting 1 or 2 a drift until we started getting blank drifts.
    by this point the the lads had taken a steady picking and boated around 25 cod and ling.

    I used the tide for a move, and found a another piece of ground that was producing, and by the end of the day we had amassed 56 fish, approx, half a dozen ling the rest cod, there were the usual whitings, poutings, and mackerel on top of that too. the best ling went 11lb and cod just short of 7lb.
    the lads finished the day very pleased with their catch. it was a very unexpected result given the huge tide today, and with us drifting at well over 2 1/2 knots, well done fellas, you fished well.

    Pictured are the lads today with some of their fish

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Playing catch up on the reports at last!!

    The weather has taken a slight turn for the worst this last 48 hours with some cracking storms in the Whitby area.

    Here's hoping it gets back to the scorching 75+ of the last few weeks!!

    The fishing at present isn't quite what it was a week or so ago but we're still clicking a good few fish.

    Billy from Harrogate joined us on the boat with a very good friend of mine a couple of weeks back. He had never been out on an angling boat before let alone try and catch a fish!

    Beginners luck may have played a part in his catch, which, at the end of the day was far better than anyone else's on board!!

    A really enjoyable day with some good mates.

    Billy is pictured with one of his fish.

  • 20/07/2013 Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)

    20 Jul 2013 by Malcolm Collins

    Report on-board Just Mary

    A slightly challenging weekend 20th/21st July 2013 aboard 'Just Mary' from Poole due to the Easterly winds which saw many boats return to the Harbour for various reasons. However the Sun was shining on us so we persevered with 'Plan A', which, as always, is to find my Anglers some Quality Fish whatever the conditions or abilities of those onboard. You pay me for a Service and I will always do my best to give you the best possible Service that I can provide for you. Saturday 20th was to see us doing two booked trips, one five hour 0900/1400 and the other a six hour 1500/2100 hours. My first trip was a stag party booked by Cormac Meenehan and friends including the Groom-to-be from Portsmouth. Fishing an Inshore mark we landed Mackerel, Black Bream, Dogfish and two nice Undulate Rays. Caught by the Groom-to-be you ask (?) sadly not, but both fell to fresh mackerel baits to 6/0 hooks on long flowing traces for the Organiser Cormac Meenehan. First fish, a male, was weighed at 14lb 4oz, (SeaAngler Shimano Mission Accomplished Award Qualifier) photographed and gently returned, second fish, a female about the same size, was wing hooked so was gently unhooked and released. Second trip was six hire rod lads from Blandford who work together in a Supermarket plus my old mate Phil Butt and two of his mates. The wind was forecast to ease, by me, so we pushed off to a mark further South of our morning's mark. We found the Mackerel then anchored up for other Summer species. We landed Gurnard, Dogfish, Black Bream, Plaice and now three Rays. Two Small-Eyed and another Undulate, two for Phil, one of each species and one for his mate, a Small-Eyed of 10lb 4oz. All fell to fresh mackerel on a 6/0 hook to a long flowing trace. The Undulate was a decent size so was weighed, photographed and gently released and likewise the Small-Eyed. That ended a long Saturday with a total of five Rays and some happy Anglers. Sunday's trip was organised by Colin Moors from Poole Council. I brought a box of 144 tea bags plus extra milk but it's not always true what they say about Council blokes having tea in their veins ! After finding just enough Mackerel to make a start we headed off to a normally reliable mark, so did the rest of the Poole Fleet that were out ! We had some decent Bream, Gurnard, Dogfish and a Bass but not enough quality to keep us there so after a couple of hours we moved on to another mark on our own. Almost instantly my move to another mark paid off and we started landing quality fish ! A total of SEVEN Rays, Small-Eyed and Undulates to 14lb, Tope, more Mackerel and better size, a decent sized Smoothound, a small Conger Eel, and a total of ELEVAN Summer Species. Phew ! That was busy at times and nice to see, so much so that we did a bit of extra time because the Fishing was so enjoyable for everyone. So a decent weekends fishing ended with calm seas, having started with Force 5 Easterly's, and some more happy Anglers aboard 'Just Mary' from Poole. Not a bad weekend for my 'Wooden Warrior' ............see you soon !

  • 10/07/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    10 Jul 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Since the Summer competition started the fishing aboard the Shy-Torque has been steady.

    Cod are at last showing in slightly better numbers both inshore and on some of the offshore wrecks.

    With the weather still being on our side we haven't had a day off in the last month or so and haven't really had much time to report on the site. Starting at silly o.clock and not getting home till turned 6 doesn't leave much time for anything else than bed!!!

    Big Sam Anderson from Beverley fished with us on the 10th July and enjoyed a cracking days sport on one of the wrecks we visited. Sam landed a lovely 14 cod himself with his best going a shade under 11lbs.

    Sam is pictured.

  • 21/07/2013 Fishing Report by Nigel Storey on Sunbeam III (Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk)

    21 Jul 2013 by Nigel Storey

    Report on-board Sunbeam III

    Sun 21/07 - nice fresh start to the morning with a full boat of 10 very enthusiastic characters out on the full day trip, steamed out to our mark and anchored up- found bait in no time and hence put some lines out for tope- wasn't long until we had our first run- within 15 minutes and a second to go with it, two of the younger lads took these fish, only landed one the other breaking off within a few yards of the boat which was a shame, nice first fish and a great start to the day, we got reset and put the lines back out we had a steady run of fish throughout the day 7 tope in all and 3 lost - shame we couldn't get every one a fish but I know some boats are struggling and only picking up one per trip.... All in all a really great bunch of lads who really enjoyed their day- and so did we - plenty of laughs and good humor - this is why we do what we do --- following this we had 9 on the mackerel trip which produced over 60 mackerel - I told you we'd catch back up with them - all in all a successful day - HAPPY DAYS :)
