Well what a day. Left home at 2:30 to get to whitby to meet the lads for a 4am start, we all got there on time and it was away we go at first light with us exiting the piers at 4am.
We steamed for an hour to get to the first wreck but it was barren, the second wreck seemed to have loads of fish on it as we were getting loads foul hooked as they were not feeding well. The day then progressed steadily away from there in the very clear water not too far from Whitby. Nothing at all on the shad with Squid being the killer method today - bit of a school boy error on my part as i forgot to get some squid and managed to get some prepared from ASDA, i caught 3 cod on this then persevered with the pirks, with a final tally to me of 16 cod to around 7lb the smallest 3, 6 ling (two kept as deeply hooked) around the 6-7lb mark and a pollack.
the other 3 guys on the boat with the squid managed slightly more fish with us ending the day with around 100 fish on the boat (keith will email you with my pics later if that is ok for you to put up for me).
an excellent day out apart from the rain sorry monsoon - thanks guys promise to travel a bit lighter next time.
