Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
18 Mar 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We had the weather today to have a run out and try a few wrecks. I haven’t been offshore since last year, so didn’t really know what to expect; but I wasn’t hugely optimistic having spoken with Rich Ward from Shy-Torque, who had tried recently. Almost with a sense of impending doom I pointed us North and headed out to some wrecks in the 20 mile stream.
View Boats Page
Just to be clear; I much prefer to fish the inshore wrecks which saves so much time steaming around, but unfortunately at this time of year we’ve found them to hold very little until the water starts to clear out. The offshore wrecks are usually a little more prolific, hence the reason for heading out that far.
I had a great crew aboard today, who love wrecking and knew what to do, so at least I knew if the fish were present and feeding they’d catch them. We had half a dozen drifts on the first wreck (which had a huge seal mooching around it) for a grand total of two Pouting, a Plaice and a bitten off Codling!! Oh S**t…..Time to move on.
We arrived at the next wreck with 90 minutes or so until slack water. I breathed a sigh of relief as three fish came up on the second drift (we missed the wreck first drift with the wind blowing us out to sea). We then proceeded to have a few fish each drift for the next 3 hours. Our best drift saw six Codling come up, nothing massive, but good to get bites. As usual, a few patterns emerged as the day progressed. When the tide was at full speed, smaller baits on Hokkai’s did the business, but as it eased, muppet traces baited with Squid or Mackerel seemed best.
A couple of things worthy of mention: Sea Urchin regular Allan Knaggs was top rod today, with nine fish to keep plus throwbacks. He fished really well, especially with the lines streaming a bit after dinner. Tony Firman caught plenty of fish (mainly Coalie’s) using the Slow Pitched Jig which was good to see.
Once the Ebb Tide came through it slowed the fishing right down, so we had half an hour on a wreck on the way back in for another half a dozen fish. It wasn’t a Red Letter Day, but equally, it wasn’t a disaster. Great to spend a day in the sunshine in excellent company. Thanks lads.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl

The Rods where busy all day and smoothounds starting to move in now... although many of these are lsd size, which always happens before the BIG mamma's show up, also Some reasonable sized whiting around at the moment, not channel whiting but worth taking home none the less as these are delicious. Roker numbers should also increase as they start move inshore this month
The diary is filling up quickly and All weekends are booked until October..and midweek filling up rapidly so if you want to book please get in contact through

It was great to see the lads from Suffolk police the other day. The doggies kept them busy between the rays, whiting, pouting, a bass and a dab. There were certainly no shortage of bites and the lads fished hard as they always do.

Mark looks happy with his codling from the other day. Lol. Sorry the picture was awful, we were more interested in getting the dear little thing back in the water. The doggies are feeding well now and there have been some better rays mixed in with the smaller ones too. It won't be long before the hounds and bass start showing inshore too. We are already catching them further off.

Another night time break in the winds, taking some local rods out to the ray grounds.
Stacks of small eyed rays, a few blonde rays, a spotted ray, a stack of whiting (even enough left for me after the trip) and a few hard fighting congers too. Superb fun in 50 feet of water!UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Crusader Charters LTD

A rare play day for relief skipper kev!

Joined by the boss we headed out to pinpoint where the rays are - we've had loads of ray on the evening trips this season but only 2-3 per trip, they must be holding up somewhere...
Within minutes of dropping the lines in the rays were feeding, and feeding hard. With only the two of us onboard it was manic! We lost count at 26 rays, mainly small eyed up to 12.75lb but a few blondes to 14lb there too.
In just 2 hours of fishing we smashed through 4 packs of sandeel, 3 boxes of squid and a pack on anchovy. When the baits are only big enough for 3/0 hooks, that a lot of fish!!!
An awesome afternoon out with the Mrs and the homework done for the charters.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Crusader Charters LTD

Wow what a down pour! So much rain I thought we saw the Ark go by at one point.
Making the most of the break in the winds we headed out for some huss and congers before coming back under the cliff to top up on some whiting.
The huss played ball, dozens to mid doubles and a good stamp of eels into the late 20's. Finished off with a few buckets of 1-8 to 2-12 whiting.
An awesome way to spend a few hours of an evening.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Crusader Charters LTD
