Report on-board Galloper
We might be chasing tuna currently but it won't be long before we are back in Essex chasing those autumn bass. The first couple of months of our offshore bass season were prolific and this bodes well for the autumn run when the bass are feeding hard. We will be targeting bass offshore on most tides throughout October and November and even early December. On a range of methods from lures and lives on the drift to worms at anchor depending on conditions.
We have availability for general trips too.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today we had a group of three lads book the boat for the day. Dave Coote, his brother Pat and Dave’s son Martin. Dave asked me if I could provide them any entertainment, so I duly invited the court jester Ian Kellock along!! Only joking Ian ��
With it still being neap tides (a 4.5m), we planned to spend the majority of the day on a few wrecks. We gathered up plenty of fresh Mackerel to accompany the squid; although the average size was much smaller today. The massive tonkers we were getting appear to have thinned out a bit.
We had three hours of Ebb tide left and with South Westerly winds it wasn’t ideal. The first wreck we fished, Ian managed three Ling around 6lb on a Mackerel baited muppet trace. The other lads were struggling a bit as the drift was well over one knot. We tried another wreck, but just got hammered by Pouting or got stuck. I chose to drop tight inside and spend an hour on some rough ground until the tide eased a bit. Everyone swapped over to Hokkai’s or Shads and whilst the fish weren’t jumping aboard, we did find half a dozen Codling in amongst a tidal wave of Pouting.
It wasn’t long before the wind dropped away a bit, so we headed back to the wrecks; where we spent the rest of the day. We fished another four wrecks for the day. The sport wasn’t amazing, but we picked up Ling on each wreck. Just after the Flood kicked in, Pat hooked into what looked like a decent fish, but then his line went fairly slack. He carried on winding and came back into contact. I should have sussed it, as the next thing we saw was a lovely Tope coming out of the gloom. We netted the fish, took a couple of pictures and sent her on her way. Weight wise it looked in 35-40lb bracket and a first Tope for Pat.
Top rod of the day was Martin who caught fairly consistently throughout ending with a nice box of fish. Ian also helped himself to a good few and then very kindly filleted the catch in the rain on the run back home.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day in great company. Thanks lads. Hopefully see you again soon. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
2 Sep 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After a lovely family holiday last week, it was great to get back out again today.
With it being small neap tides, I had only the wrecks in mind. We headed out and gathered up plenty of fresh Mackerel before heading south to try a few offshore wrecks. I had an experienced group of lads aboard, so I was confident that if the fish were feeding, they’d get amongst them.
We arrived at our first wreck just as the Flood tide kicked in. The Southerly wind was beating the tide so we had a haphazard drift across the wreck. In three drifts we took only a couple of strap Ling, so we moved on.
With the lines streaming a bit; once I’d worked out where to set the drift, the second wreck was a bit better. We caught Ling every run over. Best drift we had six on at once. Nothing massive, but a few went into the boxes.
That kind of shaped the day. Once sport dried up, we pushed on to the next wreck. Bait traces dominated (as expected), but Steve Colbourne took a nice brace of Codling when he dropped a Shad down. We had a drop on one of my “favouritist” wrecks and amongst a few other fish, Daz Hilton hooked a really decent fish. After four massive thumps on the rod it came off….gutted!! I know a good one when I see one and that wasn’t small. I’d always recommend a minimum of 100lb mono for muppet traces on the wrecks. The big fish will be back in the wreck in a flash unless you bully them.
We kept on the move throughout the day and whilst sport wasn’t frantic, we caught every drift, which was good. “Top rod” today was Derek Coulson who won the boat sweep with a 9lb Ling. Derek is always super consistent and has a knack of just getting it right.
All in all, it was a great day out for me, spent in excellent company. I love having a boat full of regulars, the banter is always top notch.
Although….the next Pouting that Jamie Britton puts in my pocket will see him with a yellow card!!! LOL View Boats Page

Report on-board Galloper
We've enjoyed our first few days joining the tuna party down in Cornwall. The journey down was far from flat calm but but Galloper powered down there regardless. We made great time and got the tides just about perfect. For a huge chunk of the trip the big doosans were pushing us along at 18-20knt and so we did the journey in 20hrs.
Although the weather wasn't perfect for our first few trips and we had to work for the fish but we managed to put the lads on a few and got off to a great start. Falmouth did us proud offering the shelter and the fishing we needed. Let's hope we the rest of the season is as kind to us.
Thanks to those who have already joined us. Alex you made the trip down and the first few days easier and Barry for your help (including the grapes). I can't wait to share the rest of the adventure with those who are joining us over the next few weeks.
I have one individual space left for the 12/09 other than that I'm currently fully booked for the rest of the season.

Report on-board Skylark
Better fish from today 8 hour trip
Well today started off with two returning anglers who both have held the heaviest fish of the month this year battling it out both have never met, fishing next to each other.
Both fished their socks off today in challenging conditions at times and both managed to get good fish.
Steve beat his previous fish with a cracking 9lb Pollock which is also a specimen fish.
Alan managed to get a respectable 8lb Ling
Unfortunately neither of them beat the current winning fish but gave it a really good go.
Fishing today was patchy at times with flutters of fish throughout the day.
With a few cod and Pollock showing aswel as loads of big pouting, a few whiting, a single mackerel again.
We did see two bottle nose dolphins at the beginning of the trip heading south. View Boats Page
