Not very good at all for the majority of yesterday’s mixed group of lads.
That is with the exception of my mate Derek Wiggins from Leeds who always works his socks off on every trip!
He fished a single 220g jig all day and ended up with 15 Codling and 2 Ling himself! 100% effort paid dividends.
Phil Ross from Stratford taking 8 fish himself too.
A challenging drift at nearly 2 knots making it really quite hard work catching to be honest.
Great humour all day though with a great bunch from Hook nr Goole.
Great to meet you all lads.
Summer Competition starting here at Whitby tomorrow. Big cash prizes on offer!!
Cheers

A slowish picking for yesterday’s lads.
A breezy sort of morning hindering the angling somewhat, however the lads did pick fish up everywhere we went but just not that many!
A great crack on board all day long made the day fly by!
James Webster taking the best bag with 8 fish for himself.
No big fish landed at all on this trip.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Paul Mawson and his mates booked the boat for a 12 hour trip yesterday.
We sailed at 5am and because the forecast was to freshen up from the SE we decided to run to some marks East of the harbour.
The first stop producing around 15 fish with Codling to around 6lb.
Second mark gave the lads another dozen or so fish that’s all, so we moved to the outermost place on our route and this provided the lads with some quite superb fishing for the rest of the day.
Plenty of Cod to 10lb with a good number of “double ups “ and organiser Paul clicking a cracking Ling of 20lb 8oz which is the biggest fish on the rod out of Whitby so far this year. He commented that we should have saved it until he was on again in the upcoming Summer competition!
We’ll just have to try and find his big brother!!
Simon England taking a nice Ling of 15lb too.
The lads thoroughly enjoyed the trip with excellent banter throughout the day too.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.
Tight lines,
Rich

The fishing here at Whitby, the “Cod capital of the North” is really showing great signs at present.
Plenty of Cod and Ling for yesterday’s lads working just 3 inshore wrecks. The baited rigs far outdoing the Shads on this trip.
Regular angler on the boat Dave Sharp taking the best fish of the day with a nice Ling a fraction over 11lbs.
Chris Wake and his friend Dave taking 20 fish between them! A lovely bag of fillets to take back to Flamingo Land where they are staying for the week.
Perfect weather again and great sport for all.
The Summer competition starts here at Whitby on the 2nd July and runs for 3 weeks where we still have a few days with spaces.
If you fancy joining us, drop me a line.
Cheers and tight lines,
Rich

A nice morning weather wise yesterday morning for the lads and this is when they had the best of the fishing with around 40 fish boated.
After lunch and the tide change, the wind drew down from the Southeast and completely spoilt things. The lads taking just a dozen or so more fish with the lines streaming.
Nevertheless, another good day on the Cod for the lads and Chris Wake from Kilnsey taking the heaviest fish of the day with a nice Ling of 13lb off the ground on the way back in.
The neap tides are upon us now so hopefully the decent fishing will continue for a few more days yet.
Cheers

It was like winding the clock back 25 years for our 2 lads yesterday.
Bob and Richard chartered the boat for themselves and were treat to some superb fishing.
The weather and conditions were perfect and the Cod were hungry too!
We used the start of the flood tide and steamed for an hour to a couple of wrecks which hadn’t been touched for a while and from the off they were straight into fish.
They were knocking the Cod out on the bait and I worked the Shad all day, which also worked well.
The two bits of scrap provided a great days sport for the 2 lads who were over the moon with their catch.
My son and crewman Charlie and his girlfriend had a ride out with us too. This was Alana’s maiden trip and as usual Lady Luck played her part as she took the best Cod of the day at a shade over 11lb
Plenty of good chunky Cod boated too.
A fabulous day for all.
Cheers

With the tides being on the heavier side at the moment, yesterday’s mixed group basically had 2 windows where we had a chance of catching.
The first slack water just after breakfast, produced about a dozen fish from a bit of scrap 6 miles from shore which was ok.
We scratched around for the next few hours waiting for the tide to ease, picking up just a handful of fish as we were racing along the drift at 1.7 knots.
We moved to another couple of wrecks close to each other for the second slack water period where the lads took around 20 more fish to finish their day off.
All in all, tide taken into account, not too bad a day with superb sea conditions and great company.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.
Regular lad aboard the boat, Bill Barraclough fishing the best on the day taking 8 fish himself.
Cheers

Regular anglers on the boat yesterday and what a day they had on the Cod!!
Starting on a wreck a couple of miles from the harbour entrance the lads were straight into the fish on the baited rigs and the Shads.
We decided that wreck hopping was the order for the first two or three hours with the breeze over the tide and holding us steady on the drift.
The next couple of wrecks throwing another dozen or so fish out.
After the flood tide bent through and the breeze still with us and at the back of the tide we tried some ground/reef marks and they fished well too, the lads taking another 20 plus fish.
The numbers were gathering very well indeed.
We finished the day on a tiny bit of scrap that only a couple of the skippers here have and took another dozen or so from that.
Paul from Brid and Dave Sharp were top rods today, the pair of them taking around 30 fish between them! Good fishing lads.
The rest of the crew taking some lovely bags of fillets home for the table too.
No whoppers but nice Ling to 9lb 6oz and Cod to 7lb.
A fabulous day with the weather, company and the fishing.
Cheers lads and see you all again soon.

Yesterday’s lads were another mixed group which to be fair, make up the majority of our teams these days.
The day started off slowly with the “devils” wind blowing from the ESE.
Hindered fishing for the first hour or two until eventually the breeze dropped out and conditions improved, which is when the fishing improved too.
The regular 3 out of the group, Chris Siddle, Alan Sutcliffe and Bill Barraclough fished the best, clicking fish everywhere we stopped.
Nice to see the inshore wrecks are showing again on these neap tides as they did a couple of weeks ago.
Fish falling to the baited Hokkai rigs more than the Shad yesterday.
Alan is pictured inset with one of his many Codling.
Cheers and keep a tight line,
Rich

Managed just the one day over the weekend on the Saturday and to be fair conditions weren’t the best at the start of the day.
The lads worked their best and managed just 15 or so fish between them. Lifting lines making for for quite tricky angling.
Nevertheless we tried 100% as ever and that’s all one can ask.
We cancelled yesterday for rubbish forecasts and the weather was perfect!!! Typical.
Back at it again on Wednesday where we have room for a couple more, so we’ll see how we do then.
Cheers
