BlogI’ve found some time to edit a video of our record day wreck fishing for Cod and Pollack aboard Grey Viking on Monday 31st January 2011:
If you’ve not seen the catch report you can read it HERE
If you read about Grey Viking’s amazing start to the wrecking season on Friday 21st January you can imagine that I was itching to get out to the wrecks again to have another go! The trouble was the following couple of days were met with strong northerly winds restricting us to fishing inshore for the weekend and bagging up on some good quality Dabs. Then the following week I was away on a course and exam to upgrade my commercial skippers licence to Yachtmaster Offshore (which I passed). So the next opportunity to get out for some wreck fishing finally fell 10 days later on Monday 31st January.

Well the wrecking season for 2011 got off to an amazing start today aboard Grey Viking, with some of the best early season wreck fishing we’ve ever seen. Today was a speculative trip originally planned as an inshore Cod fishing trip but I decided to offer the crew a go out on the wrecks based on a good weather window and a hunch. Boy did that prove to be a good decision today. If only all days could be as good (I wish) !! Continue reading

Well, after a nigh on a week snowed in followed by a gale on Saturday it was great to get back out today in search of prime winter Cod! Today saw a group of individuals making up a a crew of 8 including 2 youngsters Callum and Tyler. We set off on a relatively mild morning by recent standards on a flat sea, albeit with a big residual swell after the previous days gale.

Firstly, please accept my apologies that the blog has not been updated for a while, normal service is now resumed and catch reports will return on a regular basis from now on! September and October produced some excellent fishing out on the wrecks for Cod and Conger with some good Bream caught too. September saw the peak of the Conger fishing with 15 fish over 40lbs and a monster of 80lb for Tony from the Humber Cruising Association Fishing Club. The Cod fishing was excellent on the right tides with the majority of fish falling to cuttle baits fished at anchor.

Almost every trip produces one of those characters that you know your not going to forget in a hurry. This is what happened to us when we were first joined on the boat by Martin Bignell. Today he was making a return visit with a few of his friends and before the day started it was a given that it was going to be a laugh a minute. Anyway the crew today were Martin , his boss Brian – Stuart and Mike - Nigel, Neil, Darrell and taking the 8th place on the boat was Sean. Continue reading

The wreck fishing has been up and down over the last couple of weeks and so today it was off to the wrecks that have been producing the best catches. Fingers crossed that the fish are in the mood to play ball today and Grey Viking will return with some prime summer Cod today. Continue reading

As usual the crew phoned in last night to check that the weather was good to go to sea but after waking up and looking out of the window it was clear that the wind was blowing a lot stronger than had been forecast and the sea was white capping as far as the eye could see. On went the computer to check the marine forecast again. The wind was easing down and so we were still fine to go but we knew it was going to a bit of bumpy ride out to our first fishing mark with the sea state lessening as the day went on.
