Plenty B&B here Graham my mate dave has a nice hotel must make a date when we get a nice bit of weather leave your telegraph pole at home and invest in a nice light rod and some four or five inch shads.

Graham would like a trip off with guys not sure about accomodation on there now for lad in a chair was ok when J B had it because i was on of the family.plenty of fish inside to keep me happy maybe you should have a go with me off Robin Hoods Bay then challenge can come and board us and check our catch LOL

Hi there Charles hope you are both well,will be over your way on tenth of march me and a few mates coming to sample a few pints of the black stuff and nail a few pike will call in. Had a good day saturday 16 stone, would have done a lot better if we had not been worried by three seals they had a ball on last two lines could not get a fish over side,every fish had a bite out of it or just a head left on hook,had a couple of nice thorn backs. Away tomorrow just a small day taking D C to show him how to go on with a line he has just bought a bucaneer 16 with a licence nice little boat. regards Andy

We had a good few on rod and line while waiting for long lines to fish it was good fun. it should be a good weekend with smaller tides krysb so get at em nice bit of mussel and squid cant fail

I must have hit two hot spots i had two lines set two miles appart and they both fished well , a mate of mine off whitby is doing better than us, as i see it the east coast is on big hot spot lets hope it continues

That was me Krysb we found fish to be off a bit at back of ground edge there was a few fish on the inner hard ground but only small codling and strap ling.all good fish came out of broken ground at back of ground edge it would be worth having a go this weekend with tides easing, fish had a lot of velvet crab and still loads of pipe fish inside them.i picked a nice eight kilo halibut up in same place a week ago that was nice to see, that would have been a good scrap on a 12 lb maximus . will maybe see you this weekend if you get down this way tight lines.

I was out off Robin Hoods Bay on saturday set four hundred hooks baited with plain old squid and had twenty stone of nice codling biggest around fifteen pounds fish is there and plenty of it. Saw big cod and malc out there.

heard that one lad had ten codlings off bay wall one day last week and there has been one or two small bass down ness side one of the lads out of bay had a small net set down there and had some nice codling its clear down there at moment so you should be ok

Nice fish paul we had a cracking day on friday Braimy and i just off bay some nice fish to biggest 16 lb but a lot in four to six bracket weather looks good for a good few days so hope to get out again need a boat without a licence orkney longliner anyone got one for sale .

Hi paddy w you may have not got a trip on chieftain but you managed a day on Phoebe, and what a fine day we had it was good to see you and glad we managed to get to sea and even better to catch some nice fish will be over your way next week so dont eat all those pepper smoked macs. regards Andy

Lumpsucker we get loads in nets they very rarely die in net nine times out of ten they go back alive they vairy a hell of a lot in colour a lot to do with the enviroment they live in usually found in among kelp and get a too fair old size.lump fish eggs are collected and eaten.they lay there eggs in the back of scars in holes close to low tide mark.there was a lot washed up after last storm they are not real strong swimmers and can get caught out by summer storms.

Dont laugh to soon groyn bandit there maybe an insurance god.and the fisherman may return with longer deeper gill nets. Maybe is old ones were were a bit tatty full of seal holes past the sell by date. he would have known the weather was turning if it was good gear he would not leave it.

Yes sea fine mr motorola water clearing nice,forecast not to bad for next few days bit wet wind mostly south west lots of codling and macs about. Challenge and i were out just before the northerly blow and had a good day plenty small codling between three and six pound the odd bigger fish among them avoid multiple rigs to get through macs i would go for five to six inch shad or single jigger to pluck the better fish out challenge had best fish on a five inch orange storm shad, good luck

Paul wish i had a licence to fly one, then when the weather was bad i could shoot off to a warmer climate where the sun always shines and the water is clear blue. Just up off beach swell is droping nice breeze from west lets hope we get a spell of settled weather for next week or two. Any tips for your anglers for festival,

A bit to far for my little boat paul, just come off beach been down to ravenscar on my quad wind fell away now. nice down there good for jet had four pound last two days. you should be down there with your rod nice swell coming in and beach is cleaner than would be expected.was a tad worried about my pots but they are still there where i left them, swell should fall over night should get out thursday for damage check.

I have a new jhonson 9.9 hp four stroke and its the best motor i have had, no messing about mixing petrol,cleaner running much better petrol consumption used to use twenty litre of petrol a day with 9.9 hp two stroke now its down to six litre. Only thing i would do next time is add electric start, Four stroke for me any day.

you have it that and a bit of west wind does the trick providing the swell falls away soon it should be clear in a few days. dont want to scare all the anglers away just before festival with negetive thoughts.

Paul only small tides wind falling back in west tomorrow should clear in a few days sunday looks ok. With a bit of luck that low to the west wont strenthen it looks to be weakening all the time.

I tell ya john it was like one of those wild life films great to see pitty for the porpoise but thats nature i suppose my lad was gob smacked he first thought it was a shark.

John bust camera fell over backwards in boat in ireland have you a spare one.

John where you been mate. iv been out last two days yesterday me and son rayan tons of fish mate, today mike and myself same again three at a time its mad. Get your rod out will give you a shout.

Fishing off robin hoods bay with my son about half a mile off the shore,we were haveing a real good day my nine year old son ryan had just landed a nice codling about ten pounds, and all of a sudden there was a mighty explosion of water about thirty feet away and all we saw was a big black shape in among the spashing then all went quiet for a short time and then about a hundred yards a rather large bull seal popped up and what looked like a large salmon in its mouth a few shakes of head and the gulls arrived for the feed there was bits of flesh flying always . we sailed over to see the what seal was eating and i was shocked to see that the seal had killed a porpoise. never seen this before has anyone else.

Its a bit like that day out on loch tay john when some twot pretended that the motor had broken down

Glen was not having a go at you,i remember the thread and all that went with it. Just think it would have been better left where it was. As for the cod fishing it does seem to be on the up we have been seeing good numbers of cod now for the last two years on the inshore marks lets hope that it continues to improve.
