    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    A much tougher day on the wrecks today, but still with some fantastic weather.

    A full boat of mixed angling abilities, some having never fished before and a few that have fished since God was a lad! We struggled with the Mackerel today, and it took us far longer to get them, than I would have liked. We had a stop on a wreck half way to our intended destination to try and get a few more, then ended up staying for an hour picking away with two or three Ling each drift. Nothing huge, with fish to around 8lb.

    The Ebb tide eased right off and it was the first hour of the Flood Tide which saw an increase in bites and fish. Unfortunately, the average stamp of the fish wasn’t what it has been recently. A lot of the Ling (we only got two or three Codling all day again) were in the 3-5lb range with an odd better one. Mackerel on Muppet bait traces dominated, but Squid accounted for a fair few for Ian Kellock.

    The last move of the day to a big old piece of scrap finally gave us what we had come for……..a “Super-Drift”!! First rod to slam over was Michael Townend’s, followed a few seconds later by Ben Cope. Both lads took their time and played their fish steadily. Michael got his 13lb Ling in the net first and then Ben “Top Trumped” him with a 16lb 4oz Ling. It was a great result for some solid angling.

    The weather and company were fantastic once again. Thanks very much lads.

  • 09/09/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    9 Sep 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Another cracking day out today. With almost perfect weather and sea/tide conditions the lads from the Keel Inn Fishing Club in Barnsley were “chomping at the bit” to get started.

    We ran back to the six mile stream wrecks and “en route” I spotted my first Tuna at Whitby breaching about 100yds in front of me, which a couple of the lads spotted as well….awesome.
    We arrived just as the small 4.3m Ebb tide began to ease off, so the boat was fairly static, with little drift. First drop down and Tog Edwards was instantly into his first fish, which turned out to be a nice Ling to get things underway.

    We fished the wreck for the next 45 minutes or so, taking two or three fish each drift. The biggest fish were around the 9lb mark with “Chips” having a brace of them. I chose to move us on just before the Flood tide came through, to see if we could pick up a bonus big Ling which have come on slack water the last two days. Alas, we tried two wrecks in the next half an hour for a few strap Ling and Pouting. Still……nothing ventured, nothing gained!

    For the remainder of the day, we kept on the move, fishing a further three wrecks. In the main, we picked away a few fish everywhere we went; the sport was steady, but not brilliant. The Codling were pretty much absent again today, so we relied mainly on the Ling to keep the bites coming.

    Kevin Simpson was picking away steadily on the back of the boat, and his playing style meant I couldn’t see him playing the fish from my vantage point, but I noticed him straining quite hard with one particular fish, so I went to investigate. There was a nice bend in the rod and some telltale big fish lunging. Peering down into the crystal clear water I watched the colour coming up and it kept getting bigger and bigger. With about 20ft to go we could see what looked a decent Ling approaching. We shuffled the fish into the net and on the scales, the Ling went 15lb 3oz. A great capture for sure and it kept everyone motivated for the rest of the day.

    Fresh Mackerel accounted for the majority of the fish as expected, but Squid and Mackerel also did a few.

    A big thanks to the lads for a great day out in great company.

  • 09/09/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    9 Sep 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We had a mixed bunch of regular lads plus two newbie’s on board the boat yesterday.

    We were welcomed by thick fog as soon as we cleared the piers and unfortunately it didn’t lift for us all day. A shame because a bit of sun on another flat calm sea would’ve been nice.

    Anyway, unlike Fridays fishing, yesterday’s was a marked improvement with one of our stops providing most of our catch for the day.
    A small wreck some 9 miles North of the harbour.

    Codling, Ling and a few small Haddock boated.

    Bryan Stanton taking the best of the day, a nice Ling of 11lb 3.5oz.
    His fish is now leading the Shy-Torque “Fish of the month” which can get the winner a free trip if they have the heaviest fish at the end of the month.
    Good luck to him, although with the September competition starting today, we really are hoping for something a bit heavier to stand any chance of winning it!!
    Let’s see what happens.

    Tally for yesterdays trip, around 50 fish to keep.
    Tight lines everyone,
    Rich

  • 08/09/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    8 Sep 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    The settled weather conditions continue, so we were back at it again today. With the Autumn Festival starting tomorrow, I took the opportunity to have a days fishing with seven of my regular anglers. Irrespective of the fishing, I knew it would be a brilliant day, with loads of banter.

    After yesterdays excellent results, we headed back to the six mile stream to try a few more wrecks. It was a real “pea souper” today, the fog never lifted, but the drift on the wrecks with the light winds was ideal. We gathered the Mackerel we needed for the day from the Bell Buoy, then headed to our first wreck.

    On arrival, everyone dropped over and before I could even get my own bait down; one, two, three, four then five rods were all into decent fish at once!! I ended up playing gillie and netted a succession of decent Ling to 10lb. What a great start!

    That wreck kept us entertained for a couple hours producing plenty of Ling for everyone between 6-10lb and then it was time for the Rob Waterworth show to start…. in the space of about 30 minutes Rob helped himself to a brace of Ling totalling 31lb 8oz!!

    First up was a real scrapper which tested his brand new Daiwa Super Kenzaki to the limit, pushing the scales round to 18lb 4oz and he followed it up with a 13lb 4oz fish shortly after. Both fell for muppet bait traces with a fresh Mackerel fillet on the hooks.

    I don’t actually recall a single drift all day where we didn’t catch. Like yesterday, the Codling were pretty scarce and we only took half a dozen or so for the day, but the Ling sport more than made up for it.

    The time simply flew by, which is always a sign of a great day in great company. A massive thanks to the boys for one of my most enjoyable days…..

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday’s team were treat to some cracking flat calm and (sunny at times) weather. The fishing on the other hand wasn’t so cracking!!

    We played around on the rock top to start the day, looking for the Mackerel.
    They were a little hard to come by, but after three or four drifts we had gathered enough for the day.

    We dropped down to couple of the inshore marks which gave us some stunning fishing for four days on the last set of small tides. Nothing much at all, so down to the next mark we steamed.
    A handful of small fish to chuck back that’s all and nothing on the Shads.

    I figured that the “booling” Spring tides just gone had stirred the shallower waters so we moved out some wrecks in deeper water.

    No great shakes on any of them with just a couple here and a couple there.
    Thank goodness for the Mackerel bait as it was the only thing that caught for us!

    Tally for the day, around 20 keepers, with the usual chuck backs.
    Cheers for now,
    Rich

  • 07/09/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    7 Sep 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    After a week’s family holiday to recharge the batteries and miss the huge Spring tides, we were back at it again yesterday. With nobody having being at sea, it was a blank start, not knowing what areas were working etc.

    With a 5.2m tide, it was going to be a mixed day of wrecks and rough ground. Slack water was around midday, so we spent the morning working the rough ground at 5, 7 & 9 miles. The 5 mile ground did us a few Ling, the best going 9lb. We chased around all day for an odd tiny Ling, Whiting, and Pouting. It wasn’t until slack water that a small wreck did a couple more decent fish. Mark Gilbert taking a nice plump 13lb Ling as the biggest of the day.

    I believe the problem was that there is too much feed in the water. The Herring and associated spawn is in the water at the moment and we were completely surrounded by Minke Whales, Seals, Dolphins, diving Gannets etc. all day. By contrast, the meagre offerings we presented just couldn’t compete with the all you can eat buffet!

    Today I felt we needed a change of plan for Alan and his friends who had the boat booked. We grabbed the Mackerel we needed from the Bell Buoy and then had a quick drift on the 3 mile ground. Nothing had changed and we had the wildlife around us again, so I set off to find an area that had a lot less activity. A smaller tide allowed us to get on some wrecks in the 6 mile stream and we only fished three for the day. The first one wasn’t great, but as soon as we started to lose the flood tide, things kicked in nicely for the rest of the day.

    It’s the time of year for “them” and we took anything from 3-7 Ling a drift, with an odd rouge Codling. There were a few decent fish amongst them as well. So Yee Kwok had her first double at just over 10lb but first time sea angler Kelvin stole the show when he hooked what was obviously a decent fish. He played it well and eventually we shuffled a decent Ling which just missed the twenty at 19lb 8oz. How’s your Luck!!

    The fresh Mackerel on muppet bait traces really did the job today. Thanks to everyone for a great couple of days back at work. Fantastic to have you on board.

  • 01/09/2023 Fishing Report by Nick Gough on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

    1 Sep 2023 by Nick Gough

    Report on-board Skylark

    Today we had a 6hr trip planned with a 3hr and a 2hr afterwards

    We set off at 9am and the customers were been quite impatient so we decided to get fishing ASAP on a rock mark close to the harbour and strait away was into mackerel. This kept the customers happy and we had several runs managing to find a good few cod and Pollock also.

    As fishing slowed down with ebbing tide reducing we decided to run further up the coast to get some more tide.

    Again we found more mackerel, a few more cod and some whiting just off the rock.

    As soon as the tide started turning the sea started building to a good meter which wasn't forecast and with a few of the customers suffering the effects of sea sickness we decided to run back for some shelter to from the swell. As we ran back the sea carried on building. Unfortunately conditions had picked up to the point it was unfishable so we were forced to return earlier than expected.

    As we approached the harbour we did see some bottle nose dolphins in the harbour mouth again.

    We cancelled the 2 hour trip at this point and the 3 hour trip we cancelled in person as the customers had travelled and paid for the parking so we offered to take them on a free ride out to see the dolphins for half an hour.

    As soon as we left the harbour they soon released why we had cancelled the trip and after a bit of searching they all managed to see the dolphins heading south.

    31 Aug 2023 by Nick Gough

    Report on-board Skylark

    Today we had a 6 hour trip to start with fishing was instant for us this morning as mentioned in a previous social post the skipper got a cracking 9lb 3oz Pollock which ended up been the heaviest fish of the day.

    Overall the customers had a few cod and Pollock was slow going compared to what we have seen recently but with the winds and the tides its coloured the water a bit but lures were still working.

    Once the ebbing tide was gone we kept moving marks trying to locate the fish and it was slow going for a bit until we found the tide again.

    The 3 hour trip was slow starting with a few Pollock showing and a few cod we tried several marks to try and pick up some mackerel but with no success until the last 30 minutes of the trip and we then managed to find them in abundance.

    On the way back to the harbour we saw all the passenger boats stationary in the harbour entrance when we looked closer we noticed a pod of bottle nose dolphins so we came in slightly later than expected and watched the dolphins leave.

    Report on-board Skylark

    Two days are never the same

    Todays trip unfortunately was cut short due to the predicted winds coming earlier than expected but young Charlie did really well winding up fish most drifts as usual

    Plenty of plump mackerel as the last few days

    As the customers had some fish to take back and the fishing becoming very difficult and tackle hungry due to the wind and tide been together making the drifts really fast we decided to call the trip short after 5hrs

    Report on-board Skylark

    What a fish we had on this mornings trip taken on a Skylark Tackle 100mm sawamura shad available at
    https://www.skylarktackle.co.uk/product-page/4inch-sawamura-shad-100mm-x3-per-pack

    The Cod weighed 20lb 3oz and was 94cm long.

    Overall another good trip with some nice clean fillets coming onboard along with plenty of large mackerel some of them were close to 2lb alone

    Shads seemed to have the advantage today to keep away from the mackerel a bit but we did catch quite a few mackerel on the shads also.
