Well lads we had our police compo yesterday at Whitby. 3 boats. I was on Never-can tell along with another bunch of lads. Two other boats went out shy torque and sea urchin 2.
John our skipper went straight out to some wrecks only a couple of mile off and it was bang,bang,bang. Some lovely fish caught.
Heres us on the boat leaving the harbour.

.
and a few fish the lads caught.




I caught 3 lovely cod 6lb and a couple 5 lbers.
And yep i lost a real rod bender-must have nearly been a doubler.
An absolutey fantastic day with an excellent skipper who worked his socks off.
Thanks to everyone involved.
Not quite sure of the results at this moment in time.
Mick.

Great fish

Nice to see some good fish,especially photo,well done

The cod was a doubler-something like 14lb. its the biggest fish i saw pulled up and it was the lads personal best. Because i was on nights i had to leave straight after the fishing to travel home so i missed the prizes/awards. My mate blackrat texted me to say Durham a team won and our team came third. So all in all a good day.
I was surprised by the quality of the fishing-mainly because we stuck at wrecks all day. And they were not that far out. Last year we drifted and had no fish near the size we had this year. I will be defo looking to get back some time.
I,m also gutted over the heavy fish i lost. And i also had another big one which dived back into the wreck.Also lost this one. Still thats fishing for you.

Quality Mick have had that Jaws moment myself a couple of times, just tell yourself it was a snag it'll make you feel better (honest)

[mick dunn]

There lies the problem. I use a line counter on my reel. we fished in an average of 280 feet. i lost the fish at 140 feet. And the skipper was stood behind me saying "well that fish if you had got it up would have won the compo".
Never mind it lives to fight another day and thats what its all about.
are you going on the mull trip?.

Mick, the photos have came out really well and I've managed to save them thanks. We shared your Pie, chips and peas at the presentation in case you were concerned good food was wasted!!
