Report on-board Galloper
The bass continue to feed hard now with some for the table and plenty returned. The lads enjoyed some sport with hounds, bass and a couple of rays mixed in too. The sun even came out eventually and the wind was on our side too. We had our first tope of the year too. Only small but hopefully a sign of things to come.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
19 May 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After a blustery weekend, it was looking touch and go for today. The winds were remaining in the North, but had reduced significantly and the residual swell was at around 4ft; but with a nice 4.7m tide I chose to bring the lads through and have a run out.
Once again we had a mixed group of differing experience levels aboard, we headed out North just before 0700hrs with the Flood tide pushing through nicely. If we could get away with it, I planned to spend the day on the inshore wrecks. A couple of weeks ago we had a fairly decent day in this area, so I had a similar plan in my mind. First wreck of the day, the wind was very light and we got a nice drift, with five fish coming up. That cheered me right up, as I was concerned that the weekend winds might have stirred things up a bit, but that wasn’t the case.
We fished away steadily for the next three quarters of an hour, taking mainly Codling each drift. Robert Blackburn took the biggest Codling at 6lb 8oz on a Rhubarb & Custard Shad baited with a bit of Squid. All the rest came to baited Hokkai’s or Muppets Traces. Once sport slowed down a bit, we pushed on to the next wreck and that was how the day panned out. Catch a few, sport slows up; move to the next wreck.
The wind did lift a bit during the morning, making the lines stream a touch, which made it a bit more difficult for the less experienced lads. That said, they soon got to grips with it and we continued to pick off fish each drift.
Slack water was fairly quiet today, the Pouting were feeding with a vengeance, but little else showed much interest. Martin Eccles hooked into something a little better when a 7lb Ling stuck its head out of the wreck to take his Squid. His Dad Keith followed it up with a similar size one a short while later.
Once the Ebb tide came through, the drift line changed and we started heading back towards Whitby. With a different drift line we could fish wrecks which matched the boats drift that we hadn’t fished in the morning and managed to keep picking up fish.
It wasn’t a Red Letter Day by any stretch, but everyone got a few and the sport was fairly consistent. Overall, the signs are positive. Good Angling lads View Boats Page

We had really nice mixed trip the other day. The stamp of bass we great with several between 4-7lbs, a few hounds and 15 rays which is pretty good going nowadays. The weather started grey but brightened up so who could ask for more. Special mention to young George who was on his first trip and did a fantastic job!

Fishing Report by Peter Mackintosh
on Mistress (Tyne, Tyne and Wear)
11 May 2025 by Peter Mackintosh
Report on-board Mistress
We set off out of the Tyne and headed for some hard ground. After a few drifts, taking mostly juvenile cod, the skipper headed for an inshore wreck as the tide was ebbing. There was an abundance of pouting stripping the hooks and a few just size codling.
Although the sun was out, there was a freezing easterly wind blowing, which made conditions difficult to fish. We hopped from wreck to wreck picking up the odd coddling here and there.
After slack water, the fishing picked up. We hit on a nice wreck, just after lunchtime and a better stamp of fish started to be landed, mostly in the 2/3lb mark but with some better ones around 5/6lb.
A sudden thump of a bite put a nice bend in the rod and yours truly, for once, managed to land a decent cod just shy of 11lb- pictured. When I checked its stomach, to see what it had been feeding on, out popped a small lobster, which a had not long been taken. One of the lads, Tony, managed to land a ling of around the 8 lb mark shortly after.
All the lads had a few canny fish to fillet on the way home.
Hopefully, these horrible northerly and easterly winds will disappear soon and the mackerel will come in shore, as the water temperature increases and things will really get going. Early signs look positive for the season ahead.
Tight lines. View Boats Page
