Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
3 Feb 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We finally got a break in the weather today which allowed us to have a run out.
The original plan was to run off to some distant wrecks, but the wind was too fresh for that, so we would spend the day Uptiding. I gave the lads booked on the option of coming or not (as some don’t like Uptiding) and 6 of the 9 dropped out. I found another three lads who love their Uptiding, giving six plus me for a days fishing.
Using the Flood Tide we ran south a few miles to start off. First time angler Brad was off the mark almost immediately, which is usually the way; giving him bragging rights over his mates Aaron and Andy! There were a mix of fish caught over the next hour. Some Codling, plus Whiting, Pouting an odd Doggie and a rogue Lobster for Brian Milne. We had a short move when the bites slowed up and picked away again until we started to lose the tide.
As the boat began to swing on the anchor, we ran a couple of miles further south to get the first sniff of the Ebb Tide. Unfortunately the wind lifted and we spent a frustrating hour swinging about with the wind against tide…..we needed a change.
Running back towards Whitby we stopped at an area where I knew there would be a good bit of tide and pleasingly managed to get the boat back on the anchor against the wind, holding steady.
That turned out to be the last move of the day as the bites kept on coming. We had a good selection of baits including Squid, Black Lugworm, Crab Cart, Mackerel, Razor Clams. Squid and Blacks and Mackerel were the best today.
Whilst we didn’t have a massive average stamp of Codling, I was so pleased when Dave Fowls, who travelled up last minute from Shropshire landed the biggest fish of the day; a lovely Cod of 9lb 12oz. Squid and Blacks doing the business for him.
It was a lovely day out spent in great company. The weather was cracking and the company matched it. Thanks lads, really appreciate the support

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
8 Jan 2024 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
With the weather being a little kinder to us, we managed to get to sea over the last three days on the Shy-Torque III.
On Friday we decided to give the offshore option a go first and ran out to the 9 mile area where we dropped on a couple of bits of scrap and several ground marks.
After a couple of hours of trying everything we knew, we decided to run back inshore and drop the anchor as only one “bootlace” Ling was boated!
With the tide only running slow on a 4.3m the Uptiding/Downtiding was never going to be at its best, but we had to give it a go and
3 hours later we only managed another 15 or so Codling plus the usual other bits and bobs.
A slow day to be fair but enjoyable nevertheless.
On Saturday we decided to concentrate more on the Uptiding marks after the previous day and at the end of the day we had only managed to boat 20 or so fish.
Still, better to see the the rods twitching with something!
On Sunday we had a team of mixed East Europeans with us and they asked to have a run offshore (even though I’d explained it wasn’t fishing) so we headed out in a different direction and tried a couple of wrecks out to the East of the harbour.
A slightly better day (but still not good) with around 30 fish boated.
Every single fish over the last three trips have been landed on baited rigs, indicating that even further offshore, the water is still very murky after the constant storms we’ve seen over the early winter period.
This coming week we see the tides building back up to the sizes we like for the inshore work, so here’s hoping things pick up a little for us on the Uptiding/Downtiding marks.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A nice day on the water on Tuesday with our three anglers, Steve Hardwick, Karol and Pete.
A short run to the North of the harbour, with only a couple of moves through the day.
In total, the three lads taking around a dozen fish between them (not the best days fishing they’ve had by any stretch) but after Fergus and myself gave the 15 or so that we had to them, each of the lads took a nice bag of fillets home.
The majority of the fish around the 2-3lb mark but a couple of slightly better ones just over 5lb and Fergus managing one at 7lb 2oz as well.
We’d like to wish one and all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you all in 2024.
Cheers
Rich & Fergus.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
16 Dec 2023 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A welcome return back to sea yesterday after yet another lengthy spell off.
My old mate Simon England joined us to try for some Xmas Cod along with Alan Sutcliffe, Barry, Francis and Dave.
The day wasn’t hectic by any stretch, but a few fish were boated wherever we stopped.
No big fish to count, but some really nice plump Codling to just short of 5lbs.
The key to a “hopefully” successful day is always down to the bait quality and Simon always makes sure the best of baits are bought including (when available) crab cart/wings.
He had these with him yesterday and without a shadow of doubt he out-fished everyone on board with around 15 fish boated.
A few of those were returned safely and he left with 9 nice fish to just under 5lbs for the table.
Count for the day, around 25 keepers with the usual juveniles safely returned.
An unusual fish for the hook in these waters too with Dave landing a small Thornback ray. Nice to see for a change!
Young Fergus sadly missed yesterday’s trip as he lost his Grandma a few days ago.
Our thoughts and condolences go to to him and all his family.
Cheers for now,
Rich.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage

15 Dec 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It was fantastic to finally get a day out today after another lengthy lay off with the poor weather.
I had a mixed group of less experienced Uptiding anglers aboard and an Uptiding Officianado!! We headed out north at first light and ran a couple of miles to a nice area of rough ground, which gave us some shelter from the fresh SW winds. It was a very steady start, with a few Codling here and there, plus a random brace of Lobsters, but this was the time when I try and get everyone fishing properly.
After an hour or so, with only a handful of resident Codling aboard, we nudged up a little further, to fish a lovely ledge which drops off 4m. Once the boat was in position, the lads dropped down and pleasingly there were a few fish about. We had the initial flurry of the fish which were around the boat, but then we started to get flushes of fresh fish moving through (which we haven’t been getting). After a quiet 15-20 minutes there would be multiple bites at once. Nigel Hughes picked up a couple of lovely Codling around 5lb, and Raimondas Zokas took one the same size.
There were some nice clean fish coming up, nothing huge, but it kept the rod tips nodding. Once the Ebb tide began to ease, the wind took more control and we swung around on the anchor, which was unproductive and frustrating. We took the opportunity to run another couple of miles further up to catch the first sniff of the flood tide. Once the Flood came through, we continued to get a few fish here and there. It certainly wasn’t as prolific as the Ebb, but we kept getting bites and a few fish.
As the Skipper I always want to base my angling decisions on whether we move on or not, on an experienced angler who I know. Today I had Simon West aboard and having fished with him on numerous occasions, I knew that if they were there, he’d get them. Simon always brings top quality bait and knows how to use it. With Squid, Fresh Black Lug, Fresh Razor Clams, Crab Cart etc he had a busy day. He kept five nice clean Codling and sportingly returned a lot more.
It was a really enjoyable day for me in fantastic company. Thanks everyone. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a week off for rubbish weather it was nice to take to the water again yesterday.
Phil Ross and his Dad Andy joined us along with Ted.
We ran to some uptide/downtide marks just a stone’s throw from the harbour to start the day off.
The first spot fished poor with just a couple of small “chuck backs”
With the tide not running much at all, we moved a bit further on where the lads picked half a dozen Codling up.
Young Fergus was slow out of the blocks, but on the change of tide he released his killer baits and started nailing a few too.
Phil taking the best Codling at just over 5lbs.
Tally for the day, a mediocre 15-20 fish and with the chilly rain persisting from around 11.0am, we ran for home at 3.0pm to catch the bridge opening at 3.30pm.
An enjoyable day on the water with good company.
Cheers lads.
Our next trip out looks like next Friday with the weather looking rubbish until then.
Room for another three or four if you fancy a trip out.
Better tides too by the end of the week.
Cheers
Rich.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
4 Dec 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We’ve had a bit of a cold spell the last few days, but still managed to get a couple of days out at sea.
Combined with the Whitby Charter Skippers Uptiding competition. Friday saw the first of the three, free to enter, December competitions that Sea Urchin puts on every year. Friday was our Biggest Bag Competition for the nine anglers aboard . Every legal size fish landed is measured and awarded a certain number of points. The angler with the biggest points tally took home £150.00 at the end of the day.
First stop with the anchor down, Ian Kellock was straight out of the blocks taking half a dozen Codling, one after another, establishing a strong early lead. Inexplicably, the sport just dried up for Ian and things kicked in nicely for Gordon Blyth. Gordon had a good couple of hours and when I added up the points midway through, I thought that Gordon probably had it in the bag…..I was wrong.
The late afternoon Ebb Tide saw Dave Sharp go into overdrive. He picked away steadily and with only 30 minutes to go the gap between Gordon and Dave was only 45 points (one 35cm Codling gained 50 points). It could have gone either way, but Gordon just couldn’t find that last fish and Dave took the competition and the £150.00. All three are brilliant anglers and had good bait with them. Crab Cart was the difference today. It was certainly more productive than the usual Squid and Black Lug. Well done Dave.
Sunday was the last day of the WCSA Uptiding Competition and with nothing massive being caught over the previous two days it was all to play for.
I had a fantastic group of lads aboard and the banter flowed all day. We kept on the move trying search out a better stamp of fish, but it wasn’t to be. We took a few Codling to around 4lb on the Ebb Tide, but things died off on the flood. Everyone kept trying all day, but if the fish aren’t feeding you can’t catch them.
This cold weather should really improve things overall. It was noticeable on Sunday that we caught more fresh run fish than residents, which was great. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The WCSA Uptiding Competition has just ended here in Whitby.
The event was hindered for the first 6 days with moderate to fresh NE winds blowing, meaning the boats couldn’t take to sea.
We did manage to salvage three days at the very end of the competition with some very cold angling!
Friday fished ok for our three lads on board (one of those being my youngest lad, Charlie)
Christian Harrisons fishing the best with 15 Codling himself.
Around 30 fish in total for the day.
Saturday and Sunday however slowed up a lot and didn’t produce much at all.
No winning fish for our lads in this one, but hopefully everyone had a good time albeit being Baltic cold!!
I’d like to thank everyone for booking with us in this competition, which is a first for the association.
Apologies to those who we couldn’t get to sea because of the weather. Sadly, we can’t control the weather.
There was a good amount of interest in this competition right from first advertisement, so I reckon it will be happening again next year. If it does, let’s pray for some better weather.
Well done to Rich Cope on the Mistress on his win in the competition with a nice Ling of 8lb 9oz.
His angler, Rob Gillings, will take a very nice £1000.00 for his winning fish which is very timely for the Xmas holidays.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Today was the last day in the WCSA Winter Uptide Competition.
Sadly we lost 6 days to bad weather so only 3 days fished,
Saturday 2nd, saw us venture a good way south to a few spots i visit when conditions are right.
We managed some very nice cod with a couple over 7lb and a nice ling of 8lb 6oz for Mistress regular Rob Gilling from Middlesbrough, who has taken 1st place this year!
Well done mate!
I'd also like to extend a huge thankyou to everyone taking part in this years competition, without your continued support we wouldnt be able to.hold these events.
I hope you all have a great Christmas and new year.
If you fancy joining me for a trip, please give me a call on 07977 436 903 if you can't get through please leave a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you ASAP.
