    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    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.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich

  • 31/07/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    31 Jul 2023 by Andy Savage

    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.

  • 30/07/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    30 Jul 2023 by Rich Ward

    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.

    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.

  • 28/07/2023 Fishing Report by Nick Gough on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

    28 Jul 2023 by Nick Gough

    Report on-board Skylark

    Brilliant 6 hour trip on the wrecks this morning.

    Everything was perfect with ideal neap tides, hardly any wind and the lazy swell from yesterday had fallen away.

    Nearly every wreck we went too produced and overall the customers had plenty of fish to take away.

    Best fish today was a 13.6lb ling

    Fresh mackerel seamed to take the better fish today but unbaited hokkais and shads caught the majority of the cod.

    Great to see kids enjoying the trip and getting stuck in

    If you fancy having a go at boat fishing from Scarborough.

    28 Jul 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Like a roller coaster at the moment for us with the fishing, with good days and not so good days.

    Yesterday’s group had a lovey day on the fish with Cod into double digits.

    We picked away on the first wreck for a good couple of hours with barely 15 yards movement on each drift. Perfect conditions for working the scrap.

    The very first fish aboard was a Cod of 12lb 7oz caught by one of our regulars, Chris Siddle (past competition winner) sharply followed by another good Cod of 11lb 6oz. That one caught by Steve Eaton from Holbeach.
    Steve hadn’t been fishing for 20 years and was well pleased with his new P.B!
    Well done to him and Chris.

    After we picked the wreck clean we just had time for a few drops on one more wreck which to be fair, in comparison, was crap!!
    Just half a dozen from that one.

    The lads said they wanted some fresh Mackerel to take so we ran back to the local grounds to try for them.

    Luckily the afternoon tide was just as fruitful as the morning and they got loads to take home.

    All in all a great day on the water with great weather and the usual good humour and giggles.
    Cheers lads and see you all again soon.

    The leading fish in the Shy-Torque fish of the month still stands with Chinese Henry’s 13lb Cod caught last Tuesday.

    Cheers

    27 Jul 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Catch report aboard Sea Urchin for Wednesday and Thursday……

    Wednesday was our first day out this week, there was still 3-4ft of lazy swell hanging around and Westerly winds for us on the 4.9m tide. A great group of mixed experience anglers, came for the day out. After catching Mackerel for bait on the three mile ground, we saw a drift speed approaching 1.5 knots, which was a bit quick for the wrecks, so we covered some rough ground for an hour or so. We got a few fish each run through, but no great shakes.

    Once the tide eased, we spent the remainder of the day wreck hopping. Despite the best efforts of the lads, we just picked up odd fish here and there. I believe the water wasn’t quite clear enough on the closer inshore wrecks we tried, as we moved out to the six mile stream for the last hour and picked a few more fish up. I was disappointed that we didn’t do better, but thanks to the lads for their perseverance.

    Armed with yesterdays experience, we did almost a repeat, but pushed out a bit further where I was confident the water would be clearer.

    Thankfully the wrecks we visited yielded much better results. One in particular kept us entertained for over two hours with 3-5 fish every drift. Everyone caught a few today, but long time Sea Urchin angler, Carl Madin, played an absolute blinder. He was top rod by a long way, filling his fish box with some great fish. Lots of Ling and a smattering of Codling, with his biggest going 15lb 12oz.

    It was nice to get amongst a few fish today, but as I always say; irrespective of the fishing, I will only stop trying when the anglers do. Thanks to all the anglers for joining us the last two days.

  • 27/07/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    27 Jul 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Unlike Tuesday this week, yesterday’s efforts weren’t rewarded well for us at all.
    Seldom two days the same at present and that’s why it’s called fishing, not catching.

    100% effort from all on board but a struggle really from start to finish with just a few fish here and there.

    The best drop of the day was on a wreck just 3 miles East of the harbour on our way home.
    On the first drift the lads boated 6 fish!
    After that, just a couple more.

    The Shads didn’t work very well for us either yesterday. The swell running from the North definitely hindering their performance at present with nearly all todays fish coming up on the fresh Mackerel baited rigs. I reckon the clarity isn’t so good on the bottom.
    Around 25 fish for the day.

    Hopefully a little better for us today, fingers crossed.

    I’ll report on the not so good days as well as the good ones and you’ll be able to see your fish in the catches section on here, be-it a small fish or a “lunker!”
    Always best to be open and honest about things in this game!

    Cheers
    Rich

  • 26/07/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    26 Jul 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday started out on the fresh side with the breeze coming down from the NW at the back of tide, the drift was a bit quick for us.

    We gathered the Mackerel, which, after the Northerly over the last couple of days were a pleasure to see.
    Enough for the bait stocks in one 5 minute drift.

    As the speed of the drift eased down towards 11.0am we dropped on a bit of scrap and the lads benefited from a good 2 hours fishing with a good number of Ling to just under 9lb coming aboard and Cod to 13lbs too!

    The bait fishing was the best today with the fresh Mackerel doing the business.
    Henry, one of our Chinese contingent landed the cracking Cod of 13lb dead and jumps into the lead for the free trip offered on the Shy-Torque III this month and each month until October. Well done and good luck to him!

    The better of today’s fish coming up on the baited rigs. The Shads taking a few, but after the last couple of days Northerly’s I think the water is just off clear on the bottom.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich
