    Report on-board Mistress

    Had to cancel today with poor weather - yet again!

    Winter is only just round the corner now, with prospects for uptiding still looking good. Remember there is a competition running 10th to 18th November with £1000 up for grabs!

    The last three days at sea we have seen plenty of fish aboard Mistress, with a lift in tides to springs I have concentrated more on finding a few cod, I feel that the shads fish a bit better on the bigger tides as long as we have clear water. The lads have been heading for home with upto and over dozen Cod per person. Most of the fish have been in the 3lb to 5lb range, with a few pushing 7 or 8lb.

    We have dropped onto the wrecks going to, over and out of slack water finding a few Ling hoping for a better one to poke his head out! we managed another decent one on the 15th, Mistress regular Mark Storey got one which weighed in at 14lb 9oz, unfortunately he just got knocked into 4th place on the daily board, only missing it by a lb or so.

    Still plenty of mackerel showing here at whitby too.

    Pictured is mark with his 14lb 9oz Ling

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday saw John Wilcock ( my Sunday crewman ) return to the boat after a small bout of ill health. Great to see him fully recovered.

    Not the best of tides to return to now that they are approaching the big springs again, but John is always up for the challenge!

    We worked a couple of wrecks out on the 7 mile stream to start, with just a few fish to count. Nothing of any size either with cod to 6lb and ling to around the 10lb mark. As the tide steadily pushed through the fishing fell even quieter so we decided to push off a little further to the 9 mile ground. Again, nothing startling, with a few codling to 7lb and a few more ling to 8lb.

    The breeze started to freshen up after lunch and we ran back towards a wreck which isn't very well known to others. Trouble was we were racing along at over 2 knots by this time! John had just a couple of the fresh mackerel left which he had caught on the 9 mile.

    "Last ditch" he said to me. In typical John Wilcock style ( and over 55 years experience in sea angling )he persevered to the bitter end and was finally rewarded with what is now leading this Septembers competition.

    A cracking ling of 21lb 5.5oz.

    John will return to fish with us next Friday to fish the last couple of days.

    Well done mate and good luck!!!

  • 15/09/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    15 Sep 2012 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A phenomenal days fishing aboard the boat today with a mixed group of anglers from around the Yorkshire region.

    The forecast was always against us so we decided to stay fairly local for the first hour or so but as the breeze eased to almost a draft we decided to open the throttles and run to some offshore wrecks.

    The first one at 17 miles produced very little with a handful of cod to 7lbs and similar with the ling.

    Onwards and outwards was the order and after another 45 minute steam we dropped on the first of two wrecks some 27 miles from shore, South East of " Baymans Hole" which are seldom fished.

    RESULT!! Cod to over 12lbs ( plenty of em' ) Ling to over 16lbs and Pollack to just short of 12lbs ( plenty of em' )

    A cracking day with a cracking team!!

    Pictured is Paul Siddle from Patrington Nr Hull with his best two fish of the day, the ling being just over 16lbs and winning a daily prize in this years Autumn angling comp. Paul amassing over 130lbs of fish on the day!!

    For a chance of a day like this from Whitby give me a ring before 8pm to arrange a trip on 07733 233352.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Some brilliant wreck fishing over the last set of small tides this last week.

    Pollack to 10lbs and Ling to just short of 19lbs.

    Yesterday saw Ben Laws of Whitby take the first daily prize in this years late summer angling competition here at Whitby. Had the fish not decided to throw it's stomach up on surfacing it would definately be leading the comp!!

    Bens fish won him the £50.00 first prize plus the boat sweep of £200.00 !!! Nice days work mate !!

    Still some free places left next week lads so why not come and have a try for the £1000.00 first prize yourself!

    Pictured is Ben Laws with his ling of 18lb 11.5oz which is currently the 2nd heaviest fish weighed in.

    Report on-board Mistress

    The Whitby autumn angling festival is in full swing at the minute (when weather allows us), so with the small tides we had a full day on the wrecks.

    The day started slowly, and it took a couple of wrecks before we took some fish, but once we started boating a few we managed to take a steady picking picking all day.

    We managed a number of fish well into double figures today, the biggest went 18lb 7oz to Mistress regular Andy Officer from Hull, the big fish got Andy second prize on the daily prize board.

    Pictured is Andy with his Ling


    There are still a few places available next week, Book in with a chance to win £1000 for the biggest fish.
