Report on-board Shy-Torque III
05.05.13.
Gary Hurling and his lads from Boston Lincs had their first trip of the year today. Once they had boarded I informed them what the inshore fishing had been like for some of the charter fleet here over the last few days.
I suggested that we returned to the "Wall" where we had been getting the best results of any of the boats on the last few trips
Gary said it was a no brainer and we went straight there. With the weather being on our side again ( a beautiful flat calmer ) surely we were destined for top results today!!
A steady picking of fish from the start with the size mark being slightly better than on the last visit out there.
The lads were well chuffed with their catch. The hard work really paying off with a good selection of fish ranging from a Tub Gurnard just short of 2lb ( of which I've never seen one as big for years ) to Cod to 12lbs.
Fantastic weather for the lads making for another good days sport on the Shy-Torque III

Fishing Report by Rich Ward

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
26.04 13.
Rob Smith and his team joined us board the boat on the 26th April.
With the fishing here at Whitby being somewhat "patchy" shall we say on the inner marks, we have been working offshore to try and find the fish.
We cruised out to a couple of wrecks on the 20 mile stream for very little and decided that we would go to the ground that can usually save the day. That being the "Wall"
Judging by what the other lads were catching inside us this had definately proved to be a good move indeed.
By close of play the lads had gathered a few fish each for the table. 40 or so fish for the boat. Sadly no monsters but a nice few Codling, Pollack and Coalie to the 5lb mark.
Great weather and a great team of lads making the day very enjoyable for all.

Fishing Report by Gethyn Owen
on My Way 2 (Holyhead, Isle of Anglesey)
Apr 2013 by Gethyn Owen
Report on-board My Way 2
Early season 2013 and the weather has played a major part in the fishing all over the UK. From mid-March all the way through April, the water temperatures have remained unseasonably low in comparison to previous years. Together with a relentless barrage of strong winds, it really has been hard to get out and put any sort of run together.
Early April and we managed to sneak out to the deeps on one day, as a small example, either side of this particular we cancelled because of strong winds. With a good group of regulars, we sailed around the coast looking for herring or pollack to supplement our frozen baits for our spurdog and huss hunt. Sadly none of them wanted to help us out. Barring 2 good spurdogs out in the deeps, the day would have been a real hard one.
An extract from our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/GOAngling) this days fishing reads as follows:-
Glorious sunshine and flat calm seas today, nice end to the Easter period … sadly the fish failed to read my email! A painfully slow start to the day, drifting around the coast to Trearddur Bay saw no fish for the first 90 mins. A move to anchor, then a further move finally saw a few doggies, with the odd codling and whiting break the surface of the water.
Additionally we had a fair number of bull huss, sadly they were the smallest huss I had ever seen, the largest was smaller than a standard dogfish! The deep was sadly hard work also.
Dave managed to hook a beauty of a spurdog towards the end of our time, following on from Ian Thomo who hooked into the only other spur of the session, everyone else catching just dogs. Fortunately for Ian, it was his first spur and a very a decent one at 14lb 6oz
***
The fishing through early April was hard work; even the dogfish were showing signs of hibernation. Normally April is a month that really gets going, all manner of species moving in and some fantastic sport with spurdogs, huss and small pack tope arriving in the Holyhead Deep. Towards the 3rd week of April things started to pick up on the fish front, with quantity and more species moving in.
This was when we managed another couple days afloat, having cancelled numerous trips in between leaving both me and the anglers extremely frustrated. With a planned trip off to the Deeps restricted again by a strong NW breeze one mid-April day, our efforts centred on various marks within Holyhead Bay. The usual suspects of dogs, whiting, dabs, small huss, codling plus more showing up to grace our baits and help out some of the crew with their clubs on going 2013 species hunt.
The following day the wind swung around to the south, too strong again to allow us to get to the deeper marks offshore but it allowed us to drift a few inshore marks around the Breakwater and Rocky coast in search of early season pollack that move in to Holyhead Bay.
Thankfully the pollack had arrived, nothing too big, the best specimen probably going 4lb, but with a fair number in the 2 to 4lb bracket, a few buckets were filled with some nice chunky fillets going home with the anglers.
Light tackle and 25 to 35 foot of water, makes for some great fun with these hard fighting fish. Sadly, the over all wind patterns remain unsettled for us at the moment and whilst colleagues on the south coast have basked in some fantastic calm seas, and hot days, we have had to dodge winds for the odd day or two afloat.
On the plus side, things though are quickly improving, the waters are warming up, the crabs are starting to peel and fish are moving into the bay with each passing day.
We have limited spaces available for the remainder of May and into June, if you are interested in a particular date or species to fish for please email or call to discuss, thanks. View Boats Page

Report on-board Avante
had a great weekend over the bank holiday with the alge bloom hindering the in shore fishing I steamed off to find clear water and some nice big fish
On Saturday Karl Dave Nico and Mark made up a individual bookings so we had plenty of room to say the least with just four (the minimum I could take to make it worth while for me anyway) once we arrived we were into fish Pollock Cod and some nice big ones to 10lb we all fished shad most of the day and although the sea was choppy it fell away to give us a great afternoon the forecasters got it right hurray!
Sunday I had just four bookings again forum member Jonty came with his pal Kevin and new to me were Simon and his wife Chrissie same plan steam off but a much nicer start weather wise the fishing was a little slower although the water looked much clearer? Still plenty of fish on the go Chrissie was first to strike then again and again she had three or four before any of the others had seen a life but eventually all ended up with some nice fish and yours truly landed a good strong Cod over 10lb which fell to the shad
Monday the boat had 7 anglers aboard Bob Richard Paul and Sam made up a three and Simon came with his dad and another sorry for the names I forgot again many forum members I employed the same plan with the best forecast of the holiday weekend we set sail in the sun and returned in the sun we had much better stamp generally and more fish for some reason the water was green agin but changed depending on tide strength during the day I think Richard had the best day bait fishing most of the day he landed some crackers and a best Pollock around 12lb a guess as my scales were broken as the fish was only showing 2lbs on the digital read the fishes head would have weighed nearly a pound so in the bin they went then some big double figure cod finished of with a few nice ling
Simon also had some great fish in his bag at the end of the day as did all the rest of the lads
Simon
in all good signs that the summer inshore fishing is only round the corner

Report on-board High Flyer 2
What a great day out, lots of fish, lots of laughs, even the weather was on our side for a change (we haven't had a lot of luck with the weather this year so far, but this made up for a lot of the rough old trips). All trips should be like this but even in the rougher trips this winter I've never had a trip on Highflyer when I haven't enjoyed myself. I only went for the dabs because Chalky said he wanted some for his granddaughter. a poor excuse I know but it's the only one I can think of.

Lovely start to the day weather wise, unfortunately tide caught us little bit wrong so a bit of waiting around. Made the decision to wait inshore been caught out before, paid off with the lovely skate pictured , both falling to Mitch one 11Lb 1oz the other esimated between 4 and 5lb. Few doggie showed up for us first of the season, glad to see them! As tide weakened headed north out to a skate mark which produced nothing very strange never failed before. wind became a bit strong at this point so we decided to head back in to our original mark for shelter. Ended up with countless doggies , the two skate from same mark, couple of flatties thrown in. Thanks to Stu for organizing the lads, Terry, young Owen, Kev,Rob,Clive, with Lee ,first timer all way from Bedford,appreciate you travelling, also Mitch todays champion, and Collin and Ron, was a most enjoyable day with good banter as usual, hope this season proves a good one. Nice to see you all, All the best. Jon.

Report on-board Mistress
Fishing is definately on the turn here at Whitby.
Craig and his pals from Network Rail in Manchester had some nice fish today.
Graham landed the biggest fish of the season so far aboard Mistress - An absolutely belting 26lb Ling.
It came from a distant wreck some 2 1/2 hour steam away from port. Caught on squid bait just as the flood tide started pushing.
Graham was using our Daiwa Hire tackle kindly donated by Daiwa earlier this year.
It consisted of a 20/30 Sea Hunter and a Slosh 30 multiplier
Well done Graham
