Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Mansfield lad Brian Cunningham and his five mates had the boat chartered yesterday on what was the penultimate day in this year’s Spring Festival.
Their first wrecking trip of the season.
Perfect conditions welcoming us to start the day off so we tramped off to three wrecks NNE from the harbour, the first one being 23 miles.
The first drift over the wreck produced just a couple of small Codling.
On the smaller wrecks, the first run can often be an indicator of what’s down there, but this was a bigger one and after swinging the boat around and marking where they were hiding, we managed to pluck another couple of dozen fish from it.
A few nice plump Codling and Ling coming aboard.
Slack water approached us around 10.30am and things went a bit quiet so we moved to the second wreck in the group and basically stayed there until it was time for the homeward journey.
Daryll Machant who fishes with us regularly outside the club meets landed the heaviest on the boat, a nice Ling of 12lb 8oz which won the sweep and also took the heaviest daily prize of £50.00.
A good day for him!
Well done mate.
The lads return for their second club booking next month. We look forward to seeing you all then lads.
Great crack and company as ever!!
Cheers
Rich.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
4 May 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
With a bit of settled weather we headed out today, with a group of experienced anglers who regularly fish with me. We decided to run off to a couple of wrecks in the 20 mile stream.
The water is certainly much clearer out there and I was hopeful we’d manage a fish or two. First stop, I set the drift up and we literally barely moved. The wind was holding us up on the drift, so we just tiptoed across the wreck. Each drift was well over five minutes.
We fished the last hour of the Ebb tide, taking 2 or 3 fish each drift consisting of mainly Codling. It wasn’t sensational fishing, but everyone got off the mark. Slack was pretty quiet, but once the Flood tide started, we had a flurry of strap Ling. We could probably have kept plugging away for the remainder of the day, but while we were out there I wanted to try a wreck which as far as I knew hadn’t been fished for a couple of months.
As we started the first drift, it was noticeable that the wind had lifted a touch and the lines were streaming a bit, which made it more challenging to fish. It took four drifts before I managed to nail down exactly where the fish were holding and we had to hit that spot every time, otherwise there were not many bites. With that sorted, we finished the day on this wreck, taking mainly Codling again, with an odd Ling, Pollock and Coalie. For the first time I can remember, we never took a single Pouting or Whiting all day long.
Muppet traces, bait with Squid and Hokkai’s on the second wreck baited with Squid were the best methods today. We had a boat sweepstake, but because of the swell, I couldn’t weigh the fish anything like accurately whilst at sea. So we took the best three fish back in. 3rd place went to Rich Anscombe with a 6lb 14oz Codling. 2nd went to Steve Martin with a 7lb Ling and Ryan Martin pipped his Dad with a 7lb 1oz Codling.
I had a really enjoyable day in great company. Thanks lads. View Boats Page

The general trips are still producing a good mix of fish at the moment. There have been some nice hounds around with some pregnant girls pushing double figures. The bass have improved in numbers in places with several keepers per day in places and some decent rays mixed in too. Of course those dogfish are still there in case you are worried about missing them. With temperatures set to rise and good weather forecast for the next few days things are looking good.

A few decent hounds around the real big ladies are yet to arrive. Plenty of good bass around and some thornbacks. Hopefully with the rising temperatures big shoals of bass will be arriving as well.
Worms producing most of the fish, the thornbacks seem to prefer squid and fishbaits. Tight lines everyone. View Boats Page

2 May 2024 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A lovely morning welcoming us yesterday for another run out in this year’s Spring competition.
A full boat of good mates and regular anglers sailing with us to have a go for a bigger fish or two hopefully.
The day started out well for us on the first wreck some 17 miles from the harbour.
A steady picking of Codling and small Ling for the lads giving them some nice sport for a few hours.
Nothing big though.
We moved on to a smaller piece of scrap a couple of miles East for just a handful of of fish. Not so good there really, so on we marched to another wreck known personally to me as Bobs wreck.
Named this way after my good friend Guy Wrightson’s Dad who used to fish with us years ago.
Guy sadly lost his Dad whilst out fishing with us. He got the call with the sad news.
His Dad gifted him with a beautiful Cod just over 17lb from the wreck that day.
He looked to the sky and winked ��
It didn’t produce much at all yesterday!!
We mooched back towards shore to finish the day off and managed another 10 or so fish.
Rob Moore from Selby taking our best fish on board (weight wise) A Ling of just over 7lbs which wasn’t a contender.
Young Fergus filleted away on our return journey to port and reckoned the average per angler was 7/8 fish so numbers wise, a steady 60+ fish boated. Plenty around the 4-5lb mark. Not too bad.
Thanks again to one and all for your support in what has been the worst start to any year I can remember in 40 years in the game.
The competition ends this Sunday so we will having another good go at it then.
Cheers for now
Rich.

Fishing Report by Steve Green
on Brigand (Brighton, East Sussex)
29 Apr 2024 by Steve Green
Report on-board Brigand
2 day fishing report for this week, both challenging days on the weather front!
Monday - we welcomed Clint and his fabulous crew from Essex aboard for a spot of wrecking. We have had some fantastic wrecking trips this year filling the boxes with high quality fish .... it wasn't like that on Monday! With a stiff Northerly looking like it was fading throughout the day we pushed out pretty far to a group of wrecks where we have had excellent fishing the last few trips ....and we struggled. Worked a number of wrecks before heading down the coast with just a few fish onboard. Clint & co. Toiled away and as the sea calmed we finally hit a wreck with a good head of fish and were in business.
A below par day on the fish front, a wonderful day on the crew front. Sorry you guys had to work away all day and that you didn't get the bounty that previous trips have had, hope you all got back safely and look forward to seeing you in the Summer.
Today - it was time to have a proper go at the Bream and we had just the people to do that! Again a challenging day for shallow water fishing with light gear with a stiffer than anticipated SW wind. Tough getting the anchor to hold with the bow bucking around on the flood but when it hooked up (12x scope out!) we settled down the guys were into good fish from the off..... what a relief! That remained the case for the whole of the tide but when the ebb kicked in it was always going to be a challenge holding the boat into the wind. Short drifting individual marks meant we continued to land fish right up until the end of the day with a respectable tally of 87.
Again, a fantastic crew today who never lost focus and fished extremely well in difficult conditions - well done all ����.
Long range forecast looks like we finally have a settled period heading our way - what a treat that will be after what feels like a relentless bashing!
Best wishes
