We thoroughly enjoyed welcoming Gareth, Christine and the guys back aboard for a full day trip. The kids were fishing well, with young Travis grafting non-stop the entire day! Cracking day out, and we'll be seeing them again soon hopefully!

It was absolute pleasure to welcome aboard Julien and his three boys (all the way from Wales). Notwithstanding the rain bouncing chest high, we managed to pick a weather window for a few hours where the wind was light and sea conditions temporarily calm. We initially introduced the guys to some mackerel fishing, and once they had the hang of it, quickly switched rigs and put a little bit of bait on to see if they could find a codling for tea...it didn't take them long! Great craic and banter throughout, and we appreciated the pics of their incredibly prepared evening meal; have a great holiday and safe journey!

Aside from the bass the hounds keep coming in too, some days there are lots of smaller fish other days the stamp can be great. As is the sport from these hard fighting fast fish which never disappoint. Although bass and hounds make up most of our catches on general trips there's still one or two rays, dogfish, whiting, dabs and other species mixed with them. Offshore we are mainly targeting tope and bass at the moment. I might put together a fatty trip if there's enough interest.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The weather forecast today wasn’t settled enough in the morning to run the 14hr trip we had booked in the diary, so unfortunately we had to put that to one side.
View Boats Page
With the winds due to fall away from midday I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a few hours fishing in the afternoon/evening with a few mates……none of them were available so I went with the three reprobates in the pictures!!
Ian, Dave and Tony love their lure fishing (as do I) so we agreed that we would try fishing hard inside on the rough ground where we Uptide fish in the winter. It is fantastic fun and can be very productive on light tackle.
We all had three or four rods setup each, so we could quickly switch between tactics. A regular bait fishing rod with a muppet trace, a lighter shad fishing rod, a light lure rod and/or a slow pitch jigging rod.
Initially we ran North a couple of miles, stopping occasionally to check the water colour/clarity. We generally find the clearer water is necessary for the lures and shads to work properly. What I saw didn’t thrill me at all. It was very green and with not much clarity, I thought we would struggle…..and initially we did!
We all tried for over an hour in the rough ground with the light tackle, but all we managed was two lost small fish and a tiny Whiting. Plan B was definitely required. I thought our best chance of success was to try a couple of wrecks, where hopefully the fish would be a bit more concentrated, so we moved out to a nearby one.
This had the desired effect and first drift three out of four rods had a fish. We initially went with squid on muppet traces, but then quickly started switching methods as we knew there were plenty of fish around.
For the next few hours we fished away and caught fish on all four methods, but the highlight was definitely at slack water when the four of us were using 10-50g jigging rods, 4oz leads and small shads in 40m of water catching quality Codling of 4-5lb.
It was an absolute pleasure to spend a few hours with likeminded anglers and we never stopped learning new things. Definitely my most enjoyable session this year….thanks ladsUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl

Today was a “Tick Over” type of day…..We didn’t smash it out of the park, but equally, it wasn’t a complete wash out!

I had a great bunch of lads on, and with everyone being aboard for 0615hrs, we had a nice early hop. After a couple of days of moderate Northerly winds, I thought the inshore grounds might still be a bit green, so opted to run out to try a few wrecks. First stop at 12 miles was a wreck we filled up on a couple of weeks ago; but today the water resembled a “Kermit the Frog Smoothie” with the May-Bloom. After only three drifts and three Pouting, we pressed on for another eight miles.
Next stop was a bit more encouraging as I drifted over the small wreck, it was lit up nicely on the echo sounder, so clearly some fish in residence. The boys went over with a mix of muppet bait traces and Hokkai’s baited with Squid or Mackerel and we started to pick off a fish or two each drift. Paul Mawson took a nice Ling just under double figures and we had a reasonable stamp of Codling 3-4lb, plus Haddock and a couple of Coalie’s. We persevered through slack water and waited for the flood tide to come through, before eventually moving on another five miles to what turned out to be, our last wreck of the day.
The drift line allowed us to run along the substantial wreck and we spent the next couple of hours taking 2-3 fish a drift. As mentioned, the sport wasn’t electric, but it was consistent. Everyone managed a few fish and Joe Fender took a nice new Pb Codling of 6lb 12oz, which was great to see. Just towards the end of the day we were joined by “Sammy the Seal” and after stripping off a couple of fish, sport dried up. We agreed to have one more drift and pleasingly, Will Freeman connected with a nice Pollock which he wound as fast as he could, while we all laughed and waited for the seal to nick it. Thankfully he managed to land the fish and we headed back into Whitby.
As alluded to earlier; it was far from a Red Letter Day, but the lads all fished well and kept at it consistently. Thanks for coming everyoneUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl

The bass fishing continues to be good at the moment. There have been some quality fish showing on many of our trips and at times large numbers too. Bottom fishing is normally producing the better fish and the bigger numbers are coming on lures when conditions suit. As well as bass our general trips are producing good hounds, tope, rays and several other species too.

On our way out today ,we passed many smaller mono charter boats that decided to play safe and stay out of the wind. Everyone that knows me knows I'm not that type of skipper . If you book me I'll put you on the fish, not out of the wind. Its well worth paying a little more and treating yourself to a comfortable day. The rest is history . Loads of big Bream to 4lb, fun and laughter all round . I don't do many angling trips ,but the ones I do I do well.
