Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Even though we knew the forecast wasn’t going to give us perfect conditions, the anglers I had on today were very experienced and come as much for the banter and day out as the fishing. A great day is always on the cards.
After a quick “Mackerel Bash” on some ground at three miles, we started the day on the five mile ground on some marks which usually chuck out a Ling or two. For the first few drifts we took four or five fish every run through. Nothing enormous, but some nice clean Codling and Ling. “Uncle Alan” taking the biggest one at just over 8lb.
As the last of the Ebb Tide began to fade, the action slowed somewhat, so we dropped on a tiny wreck which entertained us for a few drifts. Most of the fish were actually sitting off the wreck, so we picked a few up and lost no gear….bonus!
That turned out to be the best of the action for the day. Slack water was nothing spectacular, we took a dozen or so Codling off another wreck, then as the Flood Tide came through, we moved to rough ground.
Disappointingly, just like yesterday, the fish just didn’t seem to feed with much vigour on the Flood Tide. We were hampered by a pair of seals on the seven mile ground which kept nicking fish off the hooks, and the nine mile ground was pretty pants.
Bait fishing dominated today, with Mackerel taking the majority. Shads (Pink in particular) worked ok during the Ebb, but the Flood Tide yielded very little on them.
The chat and banter was brilliant throughout the day, which is what makes these days so special for me.
Thanks to all the lads for a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining day. See you next time.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s group were a mixed lot of regulars and newcomers to us.
Condition wise, the sea state was great compared to the day previous making the fishing much easier.
The Mackerel were abundant again although the stamp was a few sizes down on Wednesday’s catch. Plenty again in just the one drift.
With nearly all our fish coming off the ground on Wednesday, we chose to do the same run as then. A different day altogether with a mere 15 or so Codling coming aboard in the first couple of hours.
We had a chat and young crew man Fergus and the lads agreed we should have a run off to a couple of wrecks. No the best move ever but we did find a few.
For some reason I thought that the grounds back inside would fish on the change of tide onto the ebb and it did.
We finished the day off nicely there and some nice plump Codling were boated.
Tally for the day, 50-60 keepers with the usual juveniles to throw back.
Regular angler with us Paul Mawson landing the heaviest of the day with a nice Ling of 12lb 02oz. His fish taking the lead in the Shy-Torque III fish of the month competition where the heaviest of the month wins a fee trip. Good luck to him.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
First day back out today after a 10 day lay off for Big Spring Tides and poor weather.
We headed out this morning with a mixed group of lads, with the intention of fishing a few wrecks, as it was a 4.7m tide. After a bouncy exit through the pier ends on the Northerly swell, we set about catching some Mackerel for bait. First stop at 3 miles gave us loads for the day, which was good.
With a hour to go of the Ebb we dropped onto a couple of the inshore wrecks. Most of the lads went in with muppet bait traces with Squid or Mackerel. We had a few fish, usually 1 or 2 a drift with David Kwapisz taking a nice early Codling of 5lb. We kept on the move for the remainder of the day, looking for a wreck that would give us a decent return. Unfortunately, we just kept picking up a handful of fish off the ones we tried.
Once the Flood tide had run through, the drift speed increased dramatically and we ran onto some rough ground to end the day. It wasn’t sensational, but Jamie Britton and Don Wang both picked up a 7lb Cod and Ling apiece, within seconds of each other.
Mackerel was the dominant bait today, but I found the lack of consistency frustrating. Everyone kept on trying all day and caught a few, but it certainly wasn’t sensational. Thanks to everyone who came for the day out, you were all excellent company. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After due deliberation, we decided to give it a go yesterday.
There was a NW swell running which made the run out a very steady one.
First stop was the 3 mile area to see if the Mackerel were still running after a week off for the big Spring tides and they were there all right. Strings of them and enough in one drift to give us the fresh bait for the day!
Our next move was to some ground on the 5 mile and we picked a few Codling up there. Baited rigs better than the artificial lures there for sure.
Our next stop was a short strip of ground on the 7 mile where we picked away on the Codling for a few hours. The fish falling to the Shads there too, indicating the water was a lot clearer a few more miles out.
Good sport.
There were a couple of green bellies on board today, but as I always do, if some are feeling queasy and fall to the old “mal de mer” I always give them some fish which my crewman Fergus and I catch.
Tally for the day, around 35 keepers, which, in challenging conditions at times was a fair result.
Mark Konowski taking the best bag. 8 nice fish home with him.
Cheers lads,
Rich

The July “Heaviest fish of the month” on the Shy-Torque III was won by one of Chinese customers from Leeds.
Henry and his three mates fished with us on Tuesday 25th July and had a really good day on the Cod.
Henry’s Cod of 13lb winning him a free trip which he can use anytime in the next 12 months.
Well done to him!
The 2024 calendar is now fully updated with all the information including tide sizes etc and we are taking bookings from now.
The competition dates for 2024 are yet to be announced but as soon as we know them I will adjust the calendar accordingly.
Henry is pictured inset.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
With some big tides and poor weather coming, today turned out to be our last trip for what looks like a week or so.
Sea Urchin regular, Alan and his crew had the boat for the day, which is always a good laugh. We had a stop at the Bell Buoy to gather some Mackerel for bait, then headed out on the Ebb tide to try a few wrecks. The first inshore wreck we tried produced just a solitary Codling (and a gazillion Mackerel). With a similar result on the second and third wreck, I began to think we were going to struggle.
We ran a bit closer in, to one of the wrecks which is nicely spread out and not steep sided. Thankfully, the first drift on that wreck saw seven rods go in during the drift. All nice plump Codling, that fell to a mixture of baited Hokkai’s and Muppet bait traces. The fishing was consistent for the next couple of hours, right up to slack water at dinnertime. The fish weren’t enormous, mainly Codling to just over 5lb and a few Ling, the best going 9lb 12oz.
As the flood tide came through, the Westerly wind lifted a bit, so we ran in close and spent the remainder of afternoon drifting rough ground back towards Whitby. Thankfully by this time, everyone had a few fish in the bag, so it was mostly Mackerel bashing to finish off with.
Everyone was fantastic company and I was was pretty pleased with the result, considering the conditions. Well done everyone, some good angling on display today. See you in a couple of weeks. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Regular angler with us Darryl Machant and the lads joined us for the day yesterday.
We started out trying for the Mackerel at the bell bouy as I’d seen a couple being landed on the West extension as we left harbour.
Straight away the lads were pulling a few in and after a couple of short drifts we had gathered plenty enough for the day.
Slack water ebb was just after 10.0am so we used the last of the ebb and steamed to a small wreck 12 miles North of the town.
The lads picking around 15 Codling from it.
I think there were a few more on the wreck but as the cross tide drift was making things awkward and as I was missing it as much as hitting it, we chose to run South to a bigger bit of ironwork.
Straight away they were into the fish again and after an hour or so the lads had gathered another 20+ keepers along with usual throw backs.
When we had “milked” that one we finished the day off on the ground and again they were knocking the Codling out.
Old Stevie who’s in his late 80’s out fished everyone on board with 9 nice Codling to around 6.5lbs. Great to see and well done mate!! You’re a star.
It’s really great when you get a few fish at every stop visited. Makes the day so enjoyable. Tally for the day, 40-50 takers.
Thanks lads. Excellent day with you as ever with cracking banter as always!
See you all again on your next trip.

Paul Hough and his mates Daniel and Andy booked the boat for themselves today.
Paul had asked me last year if I would consider taking him out to some of the wrecks we used to work commercially 30+ years ago.
Luckily for them the weather fell perfectly for them and we sailed at 5.0am on a flat calmer.
First stop was a small wreck 30 miles North of the harbour. One fish! Oh shit!
On to another one three miles further on. Two fish! Oh f***!!!
We trotted South then to another bit of scrap that isn’t charted or plotted. Bingo!
At last some fish! Not bundles, but a steady picking for an hour so resulting in a full box between the three of them.
It’s amazing what a morale booster it is when the fish start coming steady.
We ended the day on a short strip of ground 35 miles off where the lads took another box of fish and I managed a box myself. It fished the best out of all the marks. Should’ve gone there first!! Who knew!
That’s one off Paul’s bucket list and I’m really pleased we managed to save the day on the last two marks.
Thanks very much for your company lads and hopefully we’ll see you again next year for another long trip.
Cheers.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
29 Jul 2023 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Paul Hough and his mates Daniel and Andy booked the boat for themselves today.
Paul had asked me last year if I would consider taking him out to some of the wrecks we used to work commercially 30+ years ago.
Luckily for them the weather fell perfectly for them and we sailed at 5.0am on a flat calmer.
First stop was a small wreck 30 miles North of the harbour. One fish! Oh shit!
On to another one three miles further on. Two fish! Oh f***!!!
We trotted South then to another bit of scrap that isn’t charted or plotted. Bingo!
At last some fish! Not bundles, but a steady picking for an hour so resulting in a full box between the three of them.
It’s amazing what a morale booster it is when the fish start coming steady.
We ended the day on a short strip of ground 35 miles off where the lads took another box of fish and I managed a box myself. It fished the best out of all the marks. Should’ve gone there first!! Who knew!
That’s one off Paul’s bucket list and I’m really pleased we managed to save the day on the last two marks.
Thanks very much for your company lads and hopefully we’ll see you again next year for another long trip.
Cheers.
Rich
