Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Another fairly successful day on the Uptiding grounds yesterday.
We started on one of of our more popular marks just a couple of miles North of the harbour and stayed there for the whole day.
A slow but steady picking for the lads who worked hard at it.
Young Fergus (crew) and myself boating around 15 Codling which we handed to the lads.
Sorin travelled up from London to join us for the day and went home with a nice few Codling, a Haddock and a (very rare for the Uptiding) Bass!
Around 20 undersized fish being returned
to the water safely.
A lovely relaxing day at sea with the usual banter.
Cheers for now,
Rich.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
15 Nov 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It's been a long time since I've posted a catch report, due to the fact that I've not been out to sea!! We've endured Storms Babet and Ciaran which have really stirred things up. Pretty much putting us straight into Winter Uptiding mode.
The first trip out for a few weeks was last Thursday. Originally the trip was advertised as a wrecking trip, as it was a small tide. The winds were moderate and "off land" which meant we couldn't run off to the 20 mile wrecks. If we were going to fish, it would be an Uptiding trip, or nothing. Giving everyone the chance to drop out if they didn't fancy it, I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was still keen for a day out.
We spent the day on the Northern Uptiding grounds and it didn't take long for the lads to get to grips with the fishing. First stop on the Ebb saw a steady stream of small Codling, an odd Pouting and a "Berried" Lobster (which was returned immediately).
We had three moves during the Ebb Tide and and picked up fish at every move. Slack water wasn't great (as usual when Uptiding) but the first sniff of the Flood Tide saw a few better sized Codling come up. The Flood wasn't great, but everyone got a few to take home. As usual, Squid and Black Lugworm did all the bites.
Sunday saw a similar sort of day, but with a slightly bigger tide. Running North again, the lads picked away, but the average size was still small (50/50 on throwbacks to keepers). There were a couple of experienced Uptiders aboard and they demonstrated that with good bait and good presentation, there are plenty of bites to be had.
Experienced angler Jason Shields had fresh worm and crab cart with him, but for whatever reason, the undersized fish just terrorised him all day. It was a real head scratcher, as fishing next to him, Dave Fowls managed to get a stream of slightly better sized fish ending up with a dozen Codling to keep.
Apologies for the lack of fish pictures, but we didn't get anything above 3-4lb, with the majority being smaller. The fishing was far from prolific, but it was great to finally have a couple of days back at sea, spent in great company. Thanks Lads View Boats Page

Report on-board Mistress
Yesterday saw a new event here at whitby. Rich Ward owner/skipper of Shy Torque, put together a few boats in organising a multiple county police uptide/downtide/side plopping competition.
It was meant to.be over 2 days, but sadly we lost the 1st day to weather, and quite a few anglers dropped out, the 4 boats, Alliance, ourselves, Sea urchin 3 and Shy Torque all sailed on the 2nd day with 4 or 5 anglers a piece in a growing sea.
We had to work hard as the fish werent biting as hard as we'd expect on such a good tide, we moved plenty as bites dried up. Luckily it paid of for us, we had winner Iain Robb aboard who managed to boat 10 nice Cod, and a couple of other bits to amass 1191 points.
Iain also got the biggest fish of the day at a shade under 7lb.
We had others in the 5lb and 6lb bracket too. There were plenty of just size fish that were returned.
All in all a very nice relaxed day at sea,
If you fancy a trip with me over the winter period, give me a call on 07977 436 903, if you cant get through please leave a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you ASAP.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We had a run out yesterday with just a small team on board.
Regular angler Si England joined us, along with Waldek and his mates Lucasz and Bruce.
The tides are heading toward the Springs again so we were back on the Uptiding marks and after a short 15 minute steam we were anchored and ready to go.
Not a quick start, but as the tide speed increased so did the fishing. We were into the Codling and the first stop provided a steadyish picking for the first couple of hours resulting in around 30 fish being boated.
Nothing of any size, with a good number of undersized returned safely and the keepers only running to just over 4 pounds tops.
As slack water came on we decided a short move was in order so we moved up the coast a couple of miles. One Codling in 30 minutes! Not the best move ever!
Using the flood, we dropped back to the first mark and the lads started picking away again.
The count for keepers for the day was around 35 total with as many “chuck backs”
Not many bigger fish running at present but still some good fun fishing with the lighter gear.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We’ve spent a couple of days at sea Uptiding this week.
We sailed Monday with just the two lads on board.
Father and son Charlie and Jason from Manchester tried their hand at the inshore anchor work and really enjoyed the day with us.
The tides haven’t really been ideal for Uptiding the last few days running at around the 4.4m range which doesn’t really push enough tide through for the job but we still managed to bag a few fish for the lads.
30 fish or so boated with just 15 of those to keep with the rest going back safely.
Tuesday we ran a different direction to try find a better fishing but sadly to no avail.
Just a handful of fish up until noon.
A short move back up the coast a couple of miles proved a bit more successful with another dozen or so fish boated.
Slim pickings overall for the two days but great banter as ever and reasonable weather too.
Hopefully some improvements from this weekend as the tides start running stronger again.
Cheers for now,
Rich

We ran our second Uptiding trip of the year yesterday.
Our mixed team of 7 lads enjoyed some steady (at times) fishing.
No great shakes numbers wise with around 30 fish again. No big fish to count either. The best being one I caught at a shade under 5lbs.
I fancied that the day would have produced a little better than the last trip as the tides are running nice and strong in the high 5.0 meter range. Yesterday’s being a 5.7m.
We are wondering whether storm “Babet” might still be playing a part and even the inshore marks need a bit longer to settle.
Anyway, still another very enjoyable day out on the water.
The usual squid and black lugworm working, but the cart helping a lot yesterday too.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
25 Oct 2023 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After Monday’s offshore trip to wrecks out on the 20 mile stream and further off out to the “Wall” we chose to work the Uptiding marks yesterday.
Basically (and sadly) storm Babet has smashed our offshore marks to bits leaving the water like soup and the fishing was rubbish out there!!!
A marked improvement however yesterday with around 30 Codling boated (around 18 keepers) and the rest of the undersized safely returned.
I reckon if the tide had been running stronger than 4.6m we would have had much greater numbers.
The gentle Easterly swell not helping us with the fishing either with the boat laying slightly off square and after lunch the four lads decided to go for the 2.30pm bridge after a couple of them started feeling a little queasy.
All in all though a really nice start to our Uptiding season and we’re really looking forward to seeing you all over the next few months.
Things are looking very healthy indeed.
Cheers for now,

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Sorry I haven’t posted much in the last week or so.
Prior to the last trip out last Monday, the previous couple of trips out have been a bit slow with a relatively poor catch rate.
Last Monday was our last run off before our lass and me came away for a short break.
The day fished slowly to start with but after a move to a little wreck 12 miles North, we managed a nice few fish to save the day.
Nothing flash to report size wise but enough fish boated to keep young Fergus busy filleting for the lads all the way home!
A gorgeous day weather wise too with some lovely warm October sunshine.
Cheers and see you all after we get back.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
12 Oct 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The weather forecast for today, had looked ok for a few days and pleasingly that turned out to be the case. A group of mixed experiences on board today, from brand new, to “Salty Sea-Dog” and all points in between.
With the tides back over 5m it was always going to be a mixed day of wrecks and rough ground. To start with, we clonked a load of fresh Mackerel to accompany the Squid the lads brought for bait. With seven hire rods aboard, we kept everything very standard, which is essential to help reduce tangles. Muppet bait traces with Squid and/or Mackerel and 16oz leads to combat the wind and tide. With there being a chance of a few better sized fish about, we left the Hokkai’s (which also cause more tangles) in the bag.
To start the day, we ran out to the five mile ground for a few drifts. Everyone had got into the routine of controlling the tackle and it wasn’t long before a few fish started to come aboard. We had a mix of Codling, Ling, Haddock and a few Whiting. We had started at the South end of the ground, but the bites became less frequent, the further North we pushed.
I ran us back to the southern end and we had a decent hour. Everyone got off the mark and Adam Maguire started to put together a nice box of fish. Daron Grant took the biggest fish of the morning, a nice 10lb 12oz Ling.
We opted to run out to the nine mile stream for slack water and have a go on a wreck. For a few of the lads it was their first time on a wreck and I thought they did well. The wreck wasn’t too bad, giving a few Codling and Ling. Just as the first sniff of the Flood Tide came through Daron struck again. This time he had a nice plump Cod of 10lb 12oz, which was great to see.
The remainder of the day was spent on rough ground, picking odd fish here and there. A revisit to the five mile ground and the last drift of the day gave Andy Cooper a nice 11lb 4oz Ling to finish with.
A very enjoyable day for me, it was great seeing the lads who haven’t done it before getting a few fish. Thanks everyone, see you next time. View Boats Page
