    Report on-board TROT- ON

    Sorry for the late report but here goes, Wednesday the 10th of May found us at sea on probably the best day of the year so far at Whitby. The North East's premier cod spot. With flat calm seas and the sun on our backs the fishing was not quite fast and furious but steady. With the water clearing day by day we are hopefull for another good year. We steamed off to the 18 mile mark to try some wrecks. With a great bunch of anglers aboard the steam out passed very quickly. Arriving at Paul " Dolly" Eddons first wreck we were into coddling to about 5lb they were being taken on Shads, Bait and Hookki's. Along with Pollack, Ling, Whiting, Pouting and Haddock. As I was retriving a small coddling of about 3lb we had a Porbeagle shark of approx 6 - 7 feet long follow the coddling from the depths. He actually breached on the stern but nobody had a camera available to catch the breach. with that he sank back down to the depths. This created quite a buzz aboard. Trot On regular and Ex - W.C.S.A Spring festival winner Dave Makings was bringing a Haddock to the surface and this was also followed by our " New Friend" who wanted to investigate the struggling fish. This time we were ALL better prepared for a photo call. The rods went down and the camera's were out to catch some fantastic pictures. (Unfortunately I can only upload 1 pic to the report but a full report with Pics and video can be found on our FB site) . We tried a few more wrecks with similar catch results before a turn of tide quietend the fishing off. Which came just about the time to wind in and call it a day. All in all a great day to be at sea with Good company, Great Skipper, A varied selection of fish, On Whitby's Premier charter boat "Trot On"
