The wreck and rough ground sea angling from Whitby this last year has been very good indeed. The best catches for us have all been on the Shads. 3" and 4" working the best. See all fish picture sections. ( left click on icon at top left of this page )

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 ( 2010 ) as well, when we got off for the weather!  In 4 trips in Dec we managed an average of 70 stone of Cod all caught on ground.  Not bad for the time of year. Best cod this winter being around the 13 -14lb mark. This proving that the winter fishing from Whitby can be as good if not better than the summer at times.

The Shy- Torque III has proved again this year that your best chances of catching big Cod and big Ling are with us, and will try our best every year to meet the challenge.
