Please browse through the pages to find out about the boat, cost etc........ We will be updating info to the site on a weekly/ monthly basis or whenever we have anything at all of interest. The picture gallery has had some nice additions last year and this year up to now, so have a look there at the quality and quantity of fish we'll be working to get for you again this year. Fishing this year has been very good up to now. The best lures being "Storm Shads" and jiggers (Pirks) and the best bait has been Squid. Pictures in the Updates sections.
Sharking trips aboard Shy-Torque are proving successful with Porbeagle and Tope being landed. Please scroll to the bottom of this page for pictures or go to the Picture Gallery or Sharking section.
We will be running 2 day sharking trips in 2008 now we have the new boat.
"SHIMANO" are now sponsoring the boat and have put their brand new, heavy duty sharking gear aboard for your use as of now free of charge. A big thankyou goes to them.

The wreck and rough ground sea angling from Whitby this year so far has been very good in general. January and February fished very well when we got off but then some very poor weather hindered us for a week or two. However from mid March through to this time has seen some exceptional catches of both quality cod and ling aboard the Shy-Torque. See both updates sections.
We never stop working our socks off when we're out there from the start of the day to the very last minute. ( 200% effort and service is given on every trip whether you're a complete novice or an experienced angler.)
Some really good catches of cod were landed during winter ( 2006 ) as well, when we got off for the weather! In 4 trips between the 7th and 12th of Dec we managed an average of 70 stone of Cod for the boat each day ( That's 1000lb! ) All caught on ground. Not bad for the time of year. The best being one that I caught at 19lb. This proving that the winter fishing from Whitby can be as good if not better than the summer at times.
Shy- Torque will try and prove again this year that the bigger fish are still down there and your best chances are definately with us.
The picture of the ling shown on THIS PAGE (please scroll down) was caught by Steve Clay from Hovingham Nr Malton N.Yorks fishing aboard "Shy-Torque 2000" and is the HEAVIEST FISH to be caught from Whitby on any W.C.S.A. boat in the last 10 years. The fish weighed in at a massive 38lb 10oz.
The cod was caught by Ken Buckingham of Notts and is our best cod (up to now) at 45lbs !
I do aim to crack the British Cod Record before I finish.!!!!
