We Had Glenn Stocks on Sea Otter 2 on Sunday. We fished a wreck out on the 20 mile ground and Glenn had some cracking cod. A couple of the fish went into double figures, the average stamp was also very good with a lot of fish between 4-7lb.

Today (Tuesday 25th January) we had Paul and Jimmy on from Southport. We stared on the inshore wrecks on the 4 and 5 mile grounds where we got some nice codling. However the water just wasnt right and so we headed …

As always, we at the Whitby Charter Skippers Association (www.wcsa.co.uk) are very interested in the anglers who come to Whitby to fish from our boats. Traditionally it was the old 1lb jigger that was the favoured method utilised by anglers who visited the port, but in recent times we have seen the introduction of shads and various forms of rubber lures. As time has past we are now seeing more and more anglers switching to theses newer methods along with lighter rods and reels.
We would be very interested to hear …

The weather has not been kind for the last few weeks but we managed to fit a final 94 hour trip  in and headed out for the dogger bank for the final long trip of the year – we still hope to get a few short trips and the odd 24 hour if there is enough interest and the weather is good mind.

With the uptiding festival just around the corner, the winter uptiding season has kicked off big style at Whitby with cod into double figures already coming from the inshore grounds. Today saw Paul Kilpatrick fishing 3/4 of a mile off Sandsend and the lads onboard who travelled all the way from Coventry were certainly not disappointed with cod into double figures and some big coalfish as an added bonus.
