    Report on-board TROT- ON

    The weather has not been very kind to us in Whitby so far in 2016, However, Friday saw us venturing offshore for the first time this year, We were joined by Trot On regular "BIG ANDY" and his friends Martin, Jim and Ollie from Doncaster. While Jim has "done" shore fishing in the past it was his first time boat fishing and he was not disappointed, After a 2hr steam we arrived at one of skipper Paul Eddon's favorite wrecks which has produced Very, Very well for us in the past. We had arrived just at the back end of slack water so it was down with bait first, The fishing was steady with 2 or 3 fish each drift, However when the tide started to pick up a quick change to shads was the order of the day. The water although not gin clear was clear enough for the shads to be working well, With the anglers taking codlings to 5-6lb we also had a few strap ling, Fishing died off when Sammy the seal appeared and decided to take a fish one angler was reeling in. So it was time for a move, We tried some ground on the way back in and Martin decided to have a drop with a string of hookki's and caught a nice plump codling of about 5lb We ended the day with approx 40-50 fish between the lads, Not a bad result really for the conditions and time of year,
