    Report on-board Galloper

    We have continued to see some cracking hound's lately. There have been good numbers and a great average when we get among them. Although we catch them in various sizes and amounts throughout the year nowadays the main run of decent fish will draw to a close soon. I would say that this set of tides will likely be their last good showing of the year. Of course the bass continue to show and they are building in numbers on several of the offshore banks. I have spaces this week aboard Galloper from brightlingsea Essex for individuals and full boat bookings. so please contact me to book.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    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

  • 27/08/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    27 Aug 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    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.

  • 26/08/2023 Fishing Report by Nick Gough on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

    26 Aug 2023 by Nick Gough

    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
