Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
30 Jun 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Double trouble for Steve Milnes today aboard Sea Urchin…..we had a 12hr offshore trip booked with a mixed group of anglers.
With light winds forecast until after midday, we chose to head out at 0430hrs to get the best of the day in before the SE winds lifted; or at least that was the plan!!! We managed to grab a few fresh Mackerel on the way out, before heading to a wreck in the 20 mile stream. As we arrived at 0730hrs, I could see that there were already flecks of white water appearing as the breeze lifted a little.
Nevertheless, we were out there so I set up a few drifts on the wreck. With the lines streaming back, I ended up positioning the boat well off the wreck to get the lines in it, but once we had that sussed, a few fish started to come up. It wasn’t frantic, 2-3 each drift of mainly 2-4lb Codling for a couple of hours.
Steve Milnes had a good run, taking a fish almost every drift. After getting snagged up in the wreck I managed free his gear and could feel a decent fish pulling back. Steady away and Steve bagged his first ever Ling at just over 12lb….nice!Next drop down I jokingly said, “I’d like to see a double figure Cod now please” and blow me, Steve hooked into what looked like another decent fish and after a spirited fight I netted a 12lb Cod for him!! Two drops, two doubles and two Pb’s. Steve very sportingly put back the Cod which swan away strongly after a couple of quick pictures.
We then moved to try an area of rough ground which was meant to be the main objective of the day. I’m not one for making a load of excuses, but with the wind being so strong the lines were difficult to control. Credit to the lads, they plugged away for the next couple of hours taking a mix of Codling, Haddock, Ling, Whiting, Pollock and a few Blue Mouth Rockfish. Nothing big, but there was always a few fish every drift. The wind continued to build after the turn of tide and the troughs got a bit deeper. I called a halt to proceedings half an hour early as we had a long sloppy run back home.
Conditions weren’t pleasant at all today and I wouldn’t have been there if the forecast had been correct. Sorry for chucking you around for most of the day lads

Report on-board Predator
What a warm one!
Hot hot but lucky we had a good sea breeze to keep us cooler.
Strong tides which made it a bit harder but we did have a few smoothhounds and Harry had two cracking bites inc one that spun the rod holder around!
And he was bitten off clearly!
We thinking a big tope as recently small tope have been getting caught inshore.
So I put out a tope rig with a large bait but nothing caught on that.
Thanks for everyone who came and rebooked for tope and bass trips.
Cheers all.
Great to see some new faces and returning ones as well.

Still plenty of hounds around and the bass numbers are up slightly. Hopefully they will keep increasing as the numbers are down on this time last year. Prawn is the hot bait at the moment.

Report on-board Galloper
I thought I'd better post some pictures from our general trips rather than keep posting just bass.
Of course we been catching plenty of other stuff too from pouting and dogfish through to tope and stingrays mixed in with the bass, hounds and thornback rays on our general trips.
The weather has been fantastic too so smiles all round. This hot weather has seen a few more stingrays showing too. I really do enjoy fishing when we don't know what might come up next. It's one of the great attractions of sea angling to me.
It's also nice to have a run of general trips in between as they are generally more relaxed and less taxing than the long days offshore chasing bass and tope day after day (not that I want it any other way).
I have a couple of spaces on our last tope trips of the year this week as well as spaces offshore bass fishing.
Next spaces are
01/07- boat available for groups
02/07- tope fishing 1 space @ £100pp
04/07- offshore bass fishing 5 spaces
05/07- tope fishing 1 space @ £100pp

Report on-board Neverland
Monday’s trip was all about great company, lively fishing, and making memories, with a special shoutout to Nathan, who celebrated his birthday on board with us!
With the forecast in mind, we headed to one of our tried-and-tested sheltered marks, where conditions were just right to get rods bending. For those new to boat fishing, a bit of guidance went a long way - and it wasn’t long before everyone was into fish.
Eight different species were caught, including thornback ray, tope, and a conger eel, adding plenty of excitement to the day. Great atmosphere, plenty of laughs, and a brilliant mix of anglers made it one to remember.
We even had a glowing review come in after the trip - and that’s the kind of feedback we love to hear.

The fishing was a bit tricky but still had a great day out with 17 species .Top 3 on each boat

Report on-board Galloper
The bass continue to hit the deck of the Galloper. They must be easy to catch coz even this numpty in the yellow wellies can manage to get them in between making tea and talking rubbish.
On our general trips there's been loads of hounds around and some decent tish too. There's still a bit of variety in the form of dogfish, pouting, whiting, tope, stingrays and more to be caught on our general trips and even more variety offshore.
With the fishing and weather playing ball we are very busy but have some availability for individuals and groups in the coming weeks.
