Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
7 May 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After a really enjoyable day species hunting yesterday; today we had a day on the wrecks. The anglers were a mixed group with wildly differing angling experience; from first time boat fishing, to hundreds of days spent at sea! With a dinky 4.4m tide and light winds forecast, I hoped we could get the full day in on the wrecks.
With the water starting to clear up a bit, I chose to try some of the inshore wrecks first and see if any new residents had arrived. If this failed I planned to push out a bit further, as I don’t like to run out a long way unnecessarily.
After a bit of instruction for the lads on my hire tackle and a half hour steam, we dropped onto the first wreck of the day. Most lads went in with a Squid bait on a muppet trace start off with. Thankfully it took less than a minute before a couple of rods were in and a couple of Codling were pulled aboard. To summarise a bit; the first wreck fished well for an hour with multiple fish each run. Steve Mason taking the best Codling at 6lb 8oz and everyone getting off the mark.
Once sport slowed a little we moved on to the next wreck (and that was the pattern of the day). The stamp of Codling were nice today, with most fish in the 3-4lb range and some lovely bright white fish in amongst the wreck residents. Really positive signs at last. We wreck hopped all day, some were more productive than others, but they all did fish.
Two anglers are definitely worthy of mention today. Antanas Jarosius was on my hire tackle and his first time wrecking at Whitby. I showed him what to do once and he fished like a pro all day. I was genuinely impressed with his consistency. He put together a lovely box of fish and on the second wreck of the day took a beautiful Cod of 11lb 8oz….top angling.
Ian Kellock is part of the furniture on Sea Urchin and he had a really decent day, fishing mainly with Shads. It’s great to see that when Ian gets a few, other anglers are willing to give them a try.
Today was the best days wrecking to date this year, with everyone getting a few and some nice fish amongst them.
The lads were all brilliant company and I thoroughly enjoyed it myself. Massive well done to everyone.

Report on-board Galloper
The bass are clearly coming on the feed now as they stop spawning and they are HUNGRY! Young Sam showed the lads how it's done yet again catching 3 sizable bass amongst the schoolies. There were some other decent bass caught too as well as some not so decent as you can see by Sam's dad Steve's basslett! Steve did redeem himself though with a beautifully marked female thornback. Unfortunately we didn't get as long as I wanted on the hounds but we did get a few small ones before the weather pushed us off.
Weather and tides look great for this weekend and I have spaces for individuals and groups over the coming weeks.

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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After some moderate Northerlies over the bank holiday weekend, I wasn’t 100% convinced about having a run out today.
A group of lads from the Civil Service Sports Club had come from far and wide and booked the boat for the day to have a Species Hunt and with them already being in Whitby, we obviously decided to give it a go.
Today wasn’t about trying to catch the usual suspects of just Cod and Ling. Each fish caught was recorded and allocated points. The more species of fish caught; the more points gained. Most points overall would be declared the winner.
We set off with a short run to some rough ground around some wrecks at three miles to get the day going. I didn’t know if the water would be clear enough after the weekend, but surprisingly, it wasn’t too bad. The lads got stuck straight in and started picking up plenty of fish each drift, keeping me busy recording them. We drifted the ground for a couple of hours and everyone started to build their scoresheet up. This style of fishing requires good preparation to excel. Lots of rigs pre-tied, some with beads, some with bling, some looking more like Christmas Trees! It was brilliant to see so many different tactics being used. These boys knew their stuff…
Throughout the course of the day, we tried fishing hard inside, three miles, five miles and then a couple of wrecks to finish. As expected, hard inside wasn’t very good, but we caught consistently everywhere else. Nothing enormous was landed, but that wasn’t the aim of the day. A 10lb Cod scored the same points as a 10oz Codling.
Having recorded all the fish, I knew it was fairly close between John Wright and Andy Kaczmarczyk, and while organiser Gareth totted things up on the way back in, it turned out that they actually drew, with 175 points each, which is pretty rare in this kind of event.
To put a few stats on the day…. Total fish landed between the eight anglers was 240 fish, consisting of 14 different species. Codling, Ling, Haddock, Pollock, Coalfish, Mackerel, Plaice, Dab, Gurnard, Scorpion Fish, Wrasse, Whiting, Pouting & Poor Cod.
I love these type of days and the lads were all fantastic company. Well done lads, brilliant angling View Boats Page

Report on-board Braveheart II
Here's young kai with his first Bass caught aboard BRAVEHEARTII on Saturday a nice chunky 54cm with several others he had along with smoothounds, dabs, whiting & lsd's !
At 6 years old he was even calling the species at the end of the day just by looking at the bite...... and 90% of the time he was right and had me in hysterics. Families are always welcome aboard BRAVEHEARTII and I have plenty of time and patience to ensure you have a good days fishing!
So why not get booked up for the summer and summer holidays and give them an experience they'll never forget.
Many thanks And tight lines

It's always great to see a family out catching fish and making memories together. Even though the weather had turned a bit we were still able to find loads of fish for everyone and some nice hounds. We couldn't fish where we wanted to but managed 20 hounds, some small bass, loads of whiting and dogfish and a dab. The weather and tides are improving later in the week and I have spaces on Sunday and into next week.

Today’s trip with Neverland Charters was incredible! We had 8 anglers on board, covering almost 30 miles round trip off the coast of Felixstowe. The smoothhounds were fantastic sport, really putting up a strong fight in the tide. Thanks to Neverland’s powerful engines, we got on the mark quickly and safely, navigating through the waters impressively. All fish were carefully returned alive. Can’t wait for the next adventure! ��
