Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
30 Aug 2023 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s trip was our last day at sea before the big Spring tides start running.
We had just the 3 lads on with us today.
Regular angler Daryll, Jamie and Gary.
We started at the bouy and took around a dozen Mackerel in as many seconds!
Plenty enough for the three of them.
First stop after that was literally 5 minutes from the bouy and straight away the lads were into the fish.
Codling, Pollack and a few other bits and pieces to throw back.
At around 9.30am we ran another mile or so to a little area known as the “Funnel”
The three of them picked steadily until the tide was ripping through too strong giving a drift of nearly two knots.
At 2.0pm we all agreed that we had caught plenty enough and we returned for the 3.0.clock bridge opening.
Best fish going to Jamie, a lovely Cod of 9lbs.
Tally for the four of us, some 60+ fish.
Not bad for just a short trip!!
Cheers lads and hopefully we will see you a week on Thursday when the tides are running nice for us again at 4.6m.
Room for individuals that day if anyone is interested.
Let’s get back at em!!
Cheers

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Catch report aboard sea Urchin over the last few days……apologies for the lack of reports, but I’ve not been feeling brilliant and haven’t been in my usual routine.
Saturday saw a full boat booking for the Milnrow Sea Angling Club, by Paul Whiting, with a lovely group of boys. With a small tide we spent the day on wrecks. The lads fished baited Hokkai’s and Muppet Traces in the main.
We ran North initially, but the wrecks on the Ebb were rubbish. The fish just didn’t seem to be feeding. Heading back to a couple of wrecks in the five mile steam saw things come to life and us put together a few fish for the remainder of the day.
Sunday saw us fish a mix of wrecks and rough ground inside. The conditions on the wrecks were not the easiest with NW winds holding the drift up, but the more experienced anglers caught plenty. We moved to ground hard inside when the tide turned, and caught mainly Codling on a mix of bait and shads.
Monday was spent with a group of regulars and we fished most of the day on the rough ground, close in. We picked up some nice fish during the day, with So Yee Fong taking the best Cod at 9lb 4oz. Bait and Shads produced plenty of bites.
Thanks to all the anglers for their support and apologies for the crap report. I’m away now on a well overdue family holiday for a week. A good time to recharge the batteries while Whitby gets its biggest Spring Tides of the year. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place.
Well, it stuck for the third time in the same place for us yesterday. Unreal!
Saturday gone-Exceptional days fishing.
Sunday-Fantastic days fishing
Yesterday-Another fantastic days fishing.
In fact, the last couple of days were basically a carbon copy of each other.
The only thing that was different was the different faces aboard.
One of those faces being that of Holly Stewart, an old friend from West Yorkshire who now lives in NZ.
She was visiting her parents in Huddersfield for a month and came across for a days fishing.
She’s mad bonkers about angling and spends a lot of her time in NZ on the water.
A few tips from Fergus on how to catch our kinds of fish and she was off and running.
Holly catching on the shads and the baited rigs and ending up with a dozen or more fish for herself. Fabulous!!
The rest of the group which included Glenn and Nick who fished with us on Sunday too, fished their socks off as well.
Nick and Glenn gathering another full box of prime Codling again.
Mark Davenport and his dad Brian who were newbies to us also having a great day with a “slack box” of fish between them.
Paul from Brid who also fished with us over the Bank holiday weekend knocking 16 fish out for himself.
I managed a few drops myself and knocked out a quick dozen too.
Two of our Chinese customers, Henry and Simon also fishing well.
Henry won the July “fish of the month” prize of a free trip on the Shy-Torque III and used that on yesterday’s trip.
Henry landed a lovely Cod of 13lbs to win that.
Poor “decky” Fergus having no time for a go, with all the help needed getting the fish safely aboard!
All in all another fantastic day on the water with superb craic and banter!
Holly joining in with the great humour aboard too. A true sport!!
The majority of the catch today came at the end of the day when the tide eased back on the flood.
Tally for the day today nudging around the 90-100 mark.
Well done to all who fished with us.
A great day!!
Cheers
Rich.

Report on-board Skylark
We set off at 8am this morning and the winds were alot stronger than expected but we pushed through it and ended up again with not a bad day at all.
A good stamp of fish showing around the 3 to 5lb area with some huge mackerel and a few better size pollock
As we fished our last mark of the day a large pod of bottle nose dolphins made a show before we headed back.
Our second trip of the day was a 3 hour which we decided to travel back to where was fishing before and get the first of the ebb. When arriving the tide just hadn't got there yet but as soon as it did the mackerel were back on and a few cod coming over the rails
We did get a better cod on this trip weighing 7lb 2oz
Unfortunately we didn't see the dolphins this trip but all the customers were happy with their bags of fish to take home View Boats Page

Another belting day on the Cod today for our mixed team of lads yesterday.
A nice quick stop at the bouy for the Mackerel again and enough for the full team in 5 minutes. Some big Mackerel again too.
We marched back to a similar area we fished with yesterday’s team and things were a bit slow to start off, with just a few fish here and there.
Fortunately there are an abundance of ground marks where we have been working and the rest of the day saw us hopping from ledge to ledge, peak to peak, picking a few fish up everywhere we stopped.
As the tide eased back towards the end of the working day, we moved to another little spot to finish off and the fishing went mad!
More beautiful fresh run Codling/Cod for the lads with a couple of drifts giving them fish to 9lbs. A few doubles coming up too.
The Shads outfished the bait by a long way today but the baited rigs also taking some nice fish.
The quality of the fish over the last day or two has been great. Really healthy/fit fish giving the lads some fun moments.
Glenn Stocks and his son in law Nick took a good full box of fish between them as did father and son team Jeff and Jim McNeil.
Everyone taking plenty of lovely prime fish home for the table.
Tally for the day today, around 100 fish.
Excellent sport for the lads again and the banter was exceptional again too!
Cheers lads and we’ll see you all again soon.

Report on-board Skylark
Another great day out today this time on the Cod
First Mark we went to produced a good few codlings and a cracking 12lb 6oz cod with a load of jumbo size mackerel.
Shads and baited hokkias seamed to work the best today on every mark we went to producing a nice stamp of fish. Overall everyone caught a cod which is always a bonus
Then as we steamed back we were greeted by a load of bottle nose Dolphins just off marine drive
Our 3 hour trip with all new anglers was also as successful as we steamed out we managed to find the same pod of dolphins heading out.
As for the fishing it was pretty much instant with some really nice plump mackerel, a few pouting and again some nice cod occasionally coming over the side.
We did get a single showing of a minke whale also just as we headed in View Boats Page

Regular angler Darryl Machant and his five mates, Mick, Les, Eric, Che and old Stevie chartered the boat today.
Love it when a smaller group charter the boat for themselves.
The baited rigs have been out fishing the artificials of late for our lads so we gathered the Mackerel on the rock top before we headed out.
Whilst we were gathering the bait I noticed a load of birds feeding in a frenzy about a mile South of us, so we decided to give it a go on the inshore shallow marks to start the day. These marks are no deeper than 60ft and often even shallower!!
Straight into fish!
First fish on board taken by Darryl. A nice little Pollack.
Three or four short passes across the ridge giving the lads around 15 fish to keep.
A nice start to the day.
A short move further South next, to an area my crewman Fergus likes to work with his mate Ryan on his little boat in the Summertime.
Again, the lads were hitting the Cod on each drift. A lot of throwbacks, but a steady three or four to keep each pass for four or five drifts.
Then the black monsters arrived and spoilt the party like yesterday and the fishing went dead.
We steamed down a few miles further to a small piece of scrap to try escape the pesky seals.
None to be seen anywhere thank goodness!!
We stayed on this last mark for the rest of the day where the lads took over 70 fish from it!!
Best fish falling to Eric. A lovely Cod of 10lb 8oz. Well done to him! Excellent sport in shallow water!!
Best part about today was, apart from two “Bootlace” Ling and one Pollack, every fish taken was a Codling/Cod.
Without a doubt, the best day of the year so far with over 120 fish boated!
Oh, just to say that, because we had seasoned anglers on today, young Fergus and me also had chance to work the rods ourselves too, which is always a bonus.
I had 15 fish to keep myself, my best going around 8.5lbs.
Fergus however fished like a handcuffed crab today! Hope you’re reading this Paul Mawson!! ��
Excellent banter with these lads as always and an extremely pleasurable day with perfect conditions and brilliant sport.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.

Report on-board Skylark
Our first trip of the day started at 8am What perfect sea conditions with a light easterly breeze
We ran strait out with fishing been steady away from the start mainly codlings around 2 to 4lb. Not as many ling today biting like the day before but the codling definitely made up for that.
Best fish of the day unfortunately wasn't landed due to a unexpected visitor which ripped the entire fish off at the surface then circled the boat for a bit. The unexpected visitor was a shark around 6 to 7 meters in length. After this turned up fishing went very quite compared to this morning so took us a while to get back on the fish again.
Overall the customers had a good amount of fillets to take home
Heaviest fish was a tight one today between a cod weighing 9lb 2oz and a ling at 9lb 1oz
As we were about to return we saw mass of bird diving and about 30 to 40 very large seals feeding amount.
When returning we took a second trip out at 4pm
As fishing seamed to be better further out we decided to have a good steam out
Fishing was steady away with plenty of pouting coming over the rails unfortunately the customers lost the bigger fish been inexperienced and over bulling the fish ripping the hooks. But after advising them how to wind them up they did manage to get some cod, and ling up to 7lb
On the way back we had several sightings of minke whales View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s crew consisted of mainly regular Shy-Torque anglers who always take advantage of the easier neap tides.
As always we started out on the hunt for the Mackerel which were in good supply at the bouy for the lads. One drift did the job.
I decided to try a few marks further out for a change as I reckoned on nobody being out there for some time. Also a nice change of scenery!!
We started on a small piece of scrap just over 8 miles from port and the lads picked around 20 fish from that. A nice start to the day.
Once the wreck dried up on us we dropped on to one of my favourite little marks. A small ledge rising just a couple of metres which runs West to East around 50 yards.
A great little mark as you can often pick away at it in different parts.
The lads were really on the cod, bringing some nice fish up, when 4 huge seals decided to gate crash and spoilt the party instantly!
Another move then.
We steamed a bit further out to try and escape from the seals and tried what is normally a good wreck to us but today it proved fruitless with just a handful of fish coming aboard.
We still had time to run to a couple more bits of ironwork so we ran back in towards a small wreck split into two pieces.
It fished okay where the lads took another couple of dozen fish from it.
Cod coming aboard to just a shade under 10lbs.
My old mate Paul from Bridlington, who normally beats everyone, fished like a handcuffed crab today and lost many more than he landed!!
Chris Siddle on the other hand had a lovely day with a dozen nice fish to take home.
Another great day with the lads with Fergus getting the usual ear bashing from them!!
At least he managed to get out of bed and made it on time!
Cheers for now,
Rich

Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)
25 Aug 2023 by Nick Gough
Report on-board Skylark
Today we started the day at 8am running out to the inshore wrecks with a lot more wind than what was forecast.
One of our regulars Dave has been struggling to out-fish other anglers for quite some time. Today was definitely his day bagging the better and most fish
Overall Dave caught 6 cod and 14 ling as well as many pouting
Another angler on the trip first time with us on the skylark. James caught 14 ling, 3 cod, 2 pollack, loads of whiting and pout too
The rest of the other anglers had a good day as well but Dave and James were consistent all day getting a fish nearly every single drift.
Nice to ride home with plenty of tubs of fish and a really good stamp showing
Once we returned we set off with our 3 hour trip at 4pm. Unfortunately the weather wasn't kind for these either with a very downpour as soon as we left the harbour.
we steamed through it to a inshore wreck which instantly produced a nice codling then nothing else. So we ran out into deeper water and was rewarded with some nice size ling, plenty of pouting and a few mackerel and whiting.
Great to see the kids getting stuck in and reaping the rewards.
What a fantastic day for us and the customers hopefully the weather is kind for the next few weeks now View Boats Page
