Small Boat Fishing From Staithes

Whitby Fishing Forum Member Tim Wright from Staithes has been taking some excellent catches from his small boat. Tim says they use Jiggers, hokeyes, shads and leadheads to catch some decent cod and pollock from the fishing grounds off staithes. Fishing with several friends over the past few weeks Tim has had some truly great catches. Fishing the marks in the Staithes, Boulby and Port Mulgrave area Tim Says.

Sailed out from staithes yesterday for an hour. Caught 10 codlings all around the 4lb mark and a pollock that weighed 5lb.it gave one hell of a scrap and crash dived for the bottom several times.all codlings kept but released the pollock to fight another day.most fish were taken on leadheads and over half of them were full of pipefish.

The fruits of our labour today.Went off with steerser and his cousin on their boat today.fished from 4pm until 5.45pm.we fished half a mile off port mulgrave.all fish between 3lb and 5lb.never caught any on shads.most were taken on pirks with the odd one taking muppets.caught roughly 6 stone.only species caught were codlings.not a pipe fish in sight or in their mouths/stomachs.
