Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
30 Sep 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
To be honest, I was in a bit of a quandary as to what to do yesterday ….After a great day on Monday I had two options in my mind; run off, North or run off South? Thankfully, after a chat with Kevin on Jean-K, he reported a good few fish from the North the previous day, so we ran that way ourselves to try a couple of wrecks that I knew had not been fished in a while.
We had half an hour trying for a few Mackerel, but today it was futile, with only half a dozen joey’s caught. Everyone had plenty of squid so we cut our losses and ran North to try our luck. I set up the first drift over a wreck that has been kind to me before, but regularly gets plenty of attention. I only go there if I think it’s had a break, and today we had another decent start.
As I always do, I watched the first drift on my plotter and when I came on deck, there were a few rods buckled over. Eight fish on the first run over was very encouraging, with some nice plump Ling.
Everyone got stuck in and quite a few fish were landed during the initial drifts. The wind was forecast to stay very light at 5-6mph, but as it turned out, this wasn’t the case. A SSE breeze began to build against the flood tide and it had the unfortunate effect of squeezing us out to sea and across the tide.
This made the lines stream a bit and also made it difficult to get the lines in the wreck. Consequently, the catch rate slowed a bit and after another hour, we pushed on to try another wreck. With the tide beginning to slow, we were now drifting straight across the tide, which I really don’t like as it delivers the bait unnaturally to the fish. That said, we had some really nice clean Codling from the second wreck and quite a few of them fell to the Shads. Rhubarb and Custard being most successful.
Just before slack water, Stan Matthews hooked into a bit better fish and after a heavy lunging fight brought up a nice 14lb Ling which was the biggest of the day. Slack water was very quiet, with nothing much caught, but just before we set off for home the Ebb tide started to run and the fish came back on the feed.
All in all it was another good day out with plenty of banter from the lads.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
30 Sep 2025 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After losing the last 8 days of the September competition for poor weather and taking a short break away, it must be nearly a fortnight since I did a report!
I had a run out last Thursday with a good mate of mine, Simon England and my youngest lad, Charlie.
The tides were still fairly strong, so we thought we’d give the Uptiding a try.
First time I’ve tried it in September to be honest.
A bit of lift left in the water after the previous Northerly and a bit of colour too from the previous Saturday’s heavy rain should have made for a few fish running inshore.
We did manage a “few”
Probably around 20 fish boated, with some of those in the throwback bracket.
Still, a good day out with constant banter from the boys as always!
Yesterday was the first of a three day booking for Ken Fusco, Declan, Andy and Dave.
The lads book every year for 3 days on the boat.
This year we have had to split their days due to my hospital appointments.
With the forecast looking decidedly dodgy towards the end of the week we chose to run offshore yesterday with perfect conditions.
We tried a couple of bits of scrap to start the day off for just a handful of fish so decided to spend the rest of the day on the ground where we found some nice steady fishing.
The four lads managed a couple of boxes of fish between them. Plenty of chuck backs too.
Nothing big out there today but some good plump Codling, some Pollack and a few Ling.
A cracking day out with the lads with some good sport.
Been a pleasure as always lads cheers.
Cheers for now,
Rich.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
29 Sep 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The last two days have seen complete contrasts in the fishing aboard Sea Urchin. We are back in Neap tides again, so wrecking was the order of the two days.
On Sunday I had a group of regular anglers aboard and as I quite often do at this time of year, we headed south to try a few of the inshore wrecks in the 3-5 mile stream, which have served us well over previous autumn’s.
After an hours run we stopped at our first wreck and three drifts later with only a small Ling and a few Pouting, we pushed on. We spent the rest of the day wreck hopping.
We caught fish on all of them, but the sport was painfully slow. Muppet traces baited with squid and mackerel did find a few Ling to 8lb, but we only landed two Codling all day. I was really disappointed as I’m sure the lads were. With that in mind, in decided that today we would run out a bit further and try an offshore wreck. After collecting a few Mackerel we ran south again and arrived mid morning with the flood tide running nicely.
I set the first drift up and I like to watch the initial progress of the boat to check the drift line. I came on deck after a couple of minutes and six rods were already playing fish!! We landed twelve fish in total the first drift and I breathed a massive sigh of relief…..
I put myself under a lot of pressure to deliver a decent day and it’s been very hard this summer. Today however; everything went really well for a change. We had a frantic first hour with 6-10 fish a drift with a good mix of Codling and Ling. We had five double figure Ling with four of them between 12-13lb and loads of Codling between 3-4lb which were all pristine bright white fish. Everyone got stuck in and it was a struggle for me to keep up with the net at times.
Sport did slow down after dinner once the Ebb tide pushed through, but by then, we had already done the damage. Definitely the most prolific day for some time. Once again, a massive thank you to the lads for the support. Everyone was excellent company over both days. View Boats Page

Report on-board Trident
Enjoyed another great trip out on Trident this week! Skipper, Tom Walker, once again found us the fish in fairly challenging conditions with our full quota of bass in the icebox by lunchtime! Mostly caught on soft plastics this trip, but I've also had good fish on surface lures, trolling, slow jigging, float fishing and free-lining this season thanks to Tom's expert knowledge of what works best on the day. Looking forward to the next trip! Bill Miller
