Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
8 Nov 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin III
After a three week lay off for poor weather, I was really looking forward to getting back to sea.
I had a mixed group aboard today; some of whom have fished with me many times and a few who were new customers. We headed North at first light on a still, warm morning to catch the start of the Ebb Tide.
With it being a big Spring tide, fishing at anchor on the rough ground was the plan for the day. Only a short hop of a couple of miles and we were fishing. The lads went in with 6oz grip leads and flowing traces baited with mainly dirty squid and black lugworm. This is the standard go-to at Whitby for Uptiding. It didn’t take long before a few rods started showing signs of life.
Barry Allcock got off to a good start taking a fish almost every cast for the first hour. Unfortunately they were all small Codling or Pouting so were put back to fight another day. Dan Evans did find one slightly better Codling, but it was clear to me that the fish were not dialled in and feeding with any gusto. We had a couple of moves during the morning, trying areas of different depth and tide strengths etc, but we didn’t unlock the code and just picked up odd fish here and there.
The Flood tide was through just after dinner and it was noticeable that as the tide built, there were definitely a few more bites to be had from the Codling. Simon West took the biggest of the day at 6lb 12oz and Dan Evans had a six pounder as well. It was far from a red letter day, but everyone was superb company and I am just grateful for the support and the chance to get back to sea.
I would advise anyone coming Uptiding to try and secure some good bait (Dirty Squid, Black Lugworm and Crab Cart), it really does make a huge difference. Unfortunately you won’t be able to get any from the shop in Whitby on the day, as they don’t open until later in the day. If you’re fishing with me, feel free to contact me for any bait needs and I’ll do my best to help.
Tight Lines, Andy

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
This time of year is great for beginners as there are stacks of fish inshore to keep us busy. Stanley might not be a beginner but he had great fun in the rain the other day showing us how it's done. There were loads of whiting and dogfish around with lots of double shots of fish for him. he did manage a few dabs which is what he told me he tied the trace for. It was also lovely to see dad on board spending some time with him too. Although for some reason dad spent most of the day hiding from the rain in the wheelhouse. It certainly didn't put Stanley off and the rest of lads did very well too. There will be lots of fish like this inshore for the next few months. The dads have really increased in numbers as we would expect and on the right tides there are a lot to be caught. At some point in the new year I fancy having a play for flounders too. If you want to join us for a trip, inshore, or offshore now or in the future please.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
6 Nov 2025 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We took a mixed group of 6 lads out today on our second Uptiding trip of the year.
Regular lads Derek Coulson and Richard from Pickering, along with four lads from Nottingham joined us for the trip.
A perfect forecast and a lovely tide for the day welcoming us as we headed out just before 07.00hrs.
We dropped our lines on the first mark, just over 2 miles from the harbour where, after an hour or so, we only managed to boat around 8 Codling, with only 2 of those being keepers.
We moved on a further 4 miles to a really good, hard piece of ground, to get the last bit of the tide before slack water.
Good signs from the off with 4 Codling coming over the gunwales in the first 10 minutes.
Across slack, the lads still managed a few fish and as the flood tide came through, the fish began playing the game nicely.
Martin Newbury from Nottingham took the best fish of the day, a Codling nudging 6lb.
Derek and Rich from Pickering had the best catch with the pair having 14 fish between them. All told, around 35 fish for the boat.
A great day on the boat for the lads with some good banter as usual.
The Shy-Torque Uptiding Competition is coming up quickly. December 1st - 7th inc.
We still have room on some of the days if you fancy a bit of Xmas cheer!
Availability is shown on our calendar on the website :- www.shytorqueseafishing.com
Or on the CBUK website, or you can contact me on the mobile number 07733 233352
We will sail with just 3 anglers.
Cheers for now,

Report on-board Galloper
With the bass fishing being so good offshore we were keen to push off the lads undeterred by big boys weather. To be honest for most of the day it really was surprisingly comfortable due to being on a big catamaran. the ride home that was less comfortable but once the tide turned and the wind was with it things started to sort themselves out.
The 4 lads had the boat to themselves although I snuck a rod out too. Fishing was very good once again. There was a range of sizes on the fish but several in the 4-6lb bracket. I didn't manage any of these myself to be honest. I managed 10-15 small bass with my biggest falling off as I lifted it in last cast. I wasn't too sad as it was only 3-4lb. I Missed countless bites as every time my rod went I was busy netting, unhooking, untangling or making tea. I guess I'm just not pationate enough to be fishing that much myself ��. The lads had more than me and so between just the 5 rods we had a lot of fish and called it early at around 12.45 so we could take our time and make the journey in as comfortable as possible.
In contrast, the weather looks great for later this week and the fish are still there.
I am trying to arrange something for Friday currently. Please get in touch with me ASAP if you want to join us on on 079564112528

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
1 Nov 2025 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
The blustery weather hasn't stopped us finding the bass. At times I have questioned everyone's sanity. Surely they know I'm not sane enough to be making the choices? Thankfully the Galloper has looked after us and provided the ideal platform to keep catching the fish despite some poor conditions. The real credit goes to the lads who continue to turn up and put the effort in when surprisingly it isn't flat calm and 30c in the end of October. The stamp was very mixed on the bait fishing with loads of smaller bass and some quality amongst them. It really does justify the effort to catch them before they migrate away in a month or so.
In between the bass we've had some whiting, dogfish and hounds but it is mostly bass on those offshore banks.
Inshore is rammed with whiting and dogfish with a few dabs starting to show. There are lots of small bass in places inshore and one or two rays if you are lucky.
I have availability for general fishing for offshore fishing for groups and individuals over the next few months. Please call 07956411528 for more information
