Report on-board Mistress
7 of us went out on a 10hr wrecking trip with rich cope on the mistress and we were very lucky to get out as the previous few days weather had been poor.we set out with shads and sidewinders and was instantly made very welcome by Rich who gave us some tips and pointers as a couple of the lads had not been wrecking before,we started catching cod and pollack almost immediately and the exitment grew quickly as all the lads had fish within 2 drifts.at slack tide the catch rate slowed down but the stamp of the fish improved with each drift. Rich moved straight away to another wreck if we wewnt more than one drift without catching and set about his work with gusto making sure we were getting the best from each wreck and getting the net ready for the larger fish without delay.Rich is a credit to the whitby charter boats helping us get the best out our day and passing on tips to improve our catch rate and nothing was too much trouble for him.We went back to the harbour over an hour early due to the fact that all our cool boxes were full of quality cod and pollack and all the lads were grinning with delight after a very successful day.we found out later that most of the other charters that went out that day struggled to locate fish but we had no such problems mostly because Rich sought out wreck after wreck for us and put in a great effort to make sure bwe had an excellent day.the 2 new guys were so entrhalled by the experience they have purchased their own rods and reels for future trips.Thanks for your time and patience Rich you made our day out on your boat a special one. cheers nidge whitehurst
