Report on-board Supreme
Out today for the first time in a week following some very windy weather so we didn't know what to expect 5hour general fishing trip to ease back into it onboard today were a group from Liverpool.
Anchored up in 50ft water and the mackerel started straight away and stayed with us all trip.
A mix of other species were caught to keep everybody amused including dabs,dogs,whiting,tub gurnard,and a couple of weavers.
Just into the trip one of the lads got a hook in his finger and was very brave :) lol I had a look and decided that I wouldn't be removing it so left him to decide what he wanted to do leave it in until we returned to harbour or he could take it out himself which he opted to do luckily there wasn't much of a barb he did scream a little when he pulled it out pmsl.
Young Jack came good during the trip after feeling a bit under the weather at the start and I'm sure he will sleep well tonight .

Black Horse Fishing Club
Today we had a group of guys from the Black Horse Fishing Club. With the wind forecast to drop we locked out and headed up the Mersey. As we entered the Rock Channel, their was a slight swell. The guys had decided to go offshore. We got to our first mark and started to fish. Mackeral started coming in thick and fast. We moved to another mark and carried on fishing. Even more mackeral and some Pollack were brought aboard. The conditions had got worse instead of getting better, so the guys decided to go for Smoothound and Bass. We made our way back in and dropped the anchor. Whilst most of the guys were baiting up, Shaun had already cast out waiting for his first bite, which seemed to be straight away. The first bite didnt produce but the second cast out and he had hooked into a nice Smoothie. Getting it into the net and bringing it aboard, weighing in at 13lb. After this everybody on the boat seemed to be landing them one after the other. To add to the mix, Dabs, Weavers and Doggies were brought aboard, aswell as more mackeral. The total Smoothie count for the was 36 to 13lb. The weather conditions were not good with a constant driving rain all day that soaked everybody. Shauns brother stuck it out in his shorts and wellies, while everyone else took shelter under the canopy.
Some nice fish brought in by a great group of guys.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The crew on the Shy-Torque today were again a mixed lot from all over the place, as far afield as Scotland!!
The ground fishing proved the best for these lads today and we managed to gather a fine selection of both cod and ling. Nothing of any real size, however there were a few ( what looked like ) better fish hooked and lost through too much heavy "pumping" !
With a good number of mackerel showing at the bouy this morning this was to be the best bait today with the lads tipping the hokkai traces.
Pictured is Dave Bowman, a mate of mine from Liverton Mines, Cleveland.

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Mistress
What a lovely day to be at sea today! only a light breeze and sun shine all day, it actually felt like summer!
We're still on neap tides, so a bit of wrecking was in order today!
We sailed and got to our first mark as the ebb tide was starting to push, I decided to start on the wreck where we caught a good few cod the day before. Sadly we only took a few Whiting for our efforts, so a quick a move to a reef nearby saw us making a start on the better fish!
First drop saw around 4 Codlings and a couple of Ling. We continued fishing the reef edges taking a steady picking each drift.
As the fishing eased I moved to a small wreck and the lads took a few more Codlings.
The tide started easing at this point to I moved to a wreck which can occasionally throw out a few better fish.
The lads managed a few mackerel for bait on arrival then started dropping the bigger baits for the better fish! Well, we came up trumps today, we managed a couple of cod around the 10lb mark, plenty of Ling then on our second to last drift one of lads struck into something a little better!
He managed to turn the fish as it made for the wreck, and I instructed him to slow down and wind steady, a quick adjustment of his drag saw him wind the fish to the surface with a few lunges from the fish taking line each time! I got the gaff into it and it spun taking the gaff out my hand! after a heart stopping 3 seconds I leaned over side and got it back and boated the fish.
After unhooking and weighing, we had a Ling 27lb on the boat, one very pleased angler and I must admit I was a bit excited too! absolutely typical that the festival ended a week and a half ago had it been caught in the festival Andy would have netted himself a cool £5000! better luck next time.

Report on-board Mistress
We started the day on a wreck a few miles from port today as it was pretty much slack water when we got out. The lads set about taking a steady picking of fish until the tide started pushing. Although the day wasnt hectic the lads took a steady picking of fish all day from each mark we stopped at. Bait fished better today although the shads still accounted for a few nice fish.
We worked a mixture of ground and wrecks today catching quite a few fish into double figures. Finally on a wreck we took an extra 20-30 codlings and pollock to finish the day on high note.
Species taken today include, Ling to 15lb, Cod to 10lb, Pollock to 6lb, thean a mixture of Coalie, Whiting, Pouting, Mackerel and Tub Gurnard.

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Today was a testing day for all , the weather report totally wrong ,wind being its usual pain making conditions difficult. The rain didnt improve conditions but well done to the lads for sticking the day. Plan was to try some inshore wrecks out on the 9 mile mark sounder showing plenty but could we get them! Not playing ball at all today no explanation, tried all manner of tactics with well experienced anglers we struggled. Results were a small ling, mackerel, one small turbot nice to see and lovely tope pictured caught over a bank on fresh mackerel. Big thanks to Ian for organizing trip, Chalky for crewing today, Mark A,Mark B, Willy,Tom,Chris, Andy and Kelvin. First time on the High Flyer for your group pity the fish were not as i expected today nor the weather we had bit of a rough one all round hope next time we get it right, many thanks men for the day.

Thursday 12th July
We left the marina with the hopes of getting offshore. As we approached the lighthouse we could see the turbines spinning and didnt know how far we could get out. The forecast was for a decresing wind all day, we all made the choice to bottom fish whilst waiting for the wind to decrease. We dropped the anchor on a mark 28miles from Liverpool. The lines were in the water and straight from the off we were into mackeral, gurnard, dogfish. With everyone getting plauged with doggies we decided to head offshore. We got to the chosen mark and fished straight away. A few decent Cod and Pollack were brought aboard and with everybody happy we decided to go to another mark further out. With various baits over the side, John Tandy hooked into a nice bullhuss of 17lb 10oz and Nev hooked into and boated a very nice Cod of 7lb 10oz closely followed by Paul with another Cod. The guys were enjoying themselves that much that knowbody noticed it was time to head in.
A good day was had by all.
