Mistress -Whitby 8/6/014.

Early start at 6am sail so alarm set for 3am. Packed all the gear in anticipation of a cracking days fishing with Richie the skipper and his mate Deano.
8 of us anglers dropped our Shads at first wreck but unfortunately fishing was very slow. Tried wrecks all over but for some reason the fish were not biting. There was about 10 fish caught during the day and biggest went to my mate Pierro with a codling of 6lb. I and two others blanked.
Got back in about 5pm feeling defeated and deflated-first time I have ever blanked at Whitby-but saying that it has happened at Craster before to me.
Highlight of the day was the pod of dolphins who swam around the boat, underneath and jumped out of the water.
Best shads of the day were white sandeel type.
Mick.

Unlucky Mick....that 5lbr has now gone to 6lb, hopefully we have a good day on Friday tea time.

Ha Ha Pierros info mate-guessed at 5 on the boat but when weighed at home after gutting estimated 6lb. Least he did not blank like me. Richie the skip was saying water full of green algae and it may have had some effect. One of the lads said u could see the fish on the fish finder.

Hard shift but a nice reward.

Aye it was a hard shift Mick but the Cod made up for all the effort. For the record 5lb 2oz when gutted and weighed at home.
