Report on-board Galloper
Just back from a very pleasant 4hr trip with Aaron and the lads hiring the boat between the 3 of them. The weather was bright and breezy for most of the trip but thankfully there were plenty of fish within the sheltered waters of the blackwater and Colne estuaries. We had a thornback ray first cast as well as braces of whiting and dabs to get us off the mark. The fish weren't huge but very welcome as was a trip on the boat to blow the Christmas cobwebs away. We had a couple more rays before we had to head in and managed to beat the worse of the weather. It was great to see the lads enjoy their trip and get a few fish despite the strong wind.
It looks like there could be a little less wind at the weekend so I will try to get a trip or two together. Please contact me if you want to join us.

Although the influx of sprats has slowed down some of the fishing currently there are still fish to be caught. The other day there were still plenty of whiting to be caught although the stamp was smaller than a few weeks ago. Gorden was pretty good at catching dabs as well as a small ray and several of the whiting were a better size and ideal for the table.
I am trying to arrange a couple of days over the Xmas period so if you want to get out then please get in touch. After that my next spaces are at the end of January.
Otherwise have a great Christmas and I will try to put some more interesting content on here for you to read over the next few weeks.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A nice day on the water on Tuesday with our three anglers, Steve Hardwick, Karol and Pete.
A short run to the North of the harbour, with only a couple of moves through the day.
In total, the three lads taking around a dozen fish between them (not the best days fishing they’ve had by any stretch) but after Fergus and myself gave the 15 or so that we had to them, each of the lads took a nice bag of fillets home.
The majority of the fish around the 2-3lb mark but a couple of slightly better ones just over 5lb and Fergus managing one at 7lb 2oz as well.
We’d like to wish one and all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you all in 2024.
Cheers
Rich & Fergus.

Report on-board Galloper
There are still one or two rays hanging around inshore to be caught. These are a welcome break from the whiting which are a little smaller in places than they were a few weeks ago. The arrival of sprats has distracted many of the larger whiting and codling inshore. Even the dogfish have slowed with the drop in temperature. Thankfully the occasional ray puts a better bend in the rod. Of course inshore there Is fun to be had targeting flatties. Further offshore there will be more variety available. Those doggies will still be feeding well but between them there will be a better chance of rays, hounds, spurs, cod and bass. For that we will need some better weather though. Looking ahead to the Christmas break and there may be a chance to get offshore if you fancy it. If you just want a social then I will try and put something together inshore. I may even arrange a charity comp if there's enough interest.

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
Well guys that a wrap for the 2023 season aboard Dawn Tide II
Truth be told There is a real lack of decent fish around at the moment.
Basically the summer species have moved off now the Ray numbers we rely on this time of year are down massively & the Cod just haven’t arrived in any numbers just yet so its just whiting dabs or dogs at the moment nit my cup of tea at all.
Out of respect for you guys who fish with me I have taken a decision to postpone all trips from today until the fishing improves.
Im not in the business of just taking your money knowing full well its going to be a tough cold fishless day.
Personally I would rather you saved the money & put it towards the good times when the fishing is better & we all have a good time catching.
Hopefully the Cod start showing towards end of January like last season & the Spurdogs should show further offshore. This should keep us busy through too spring when the rays & hounds should arrive in better numbers in march.
They should be shortly followed by the Bass, Tope & other summer species.
My main concentration as always will be targeting Bass on the lures this has become really popular with my anglers & just seems to get better & better its really taken off big time now days & I can’t wait.
I Just want to say thank you to everyone who continues to support & fish with it me much appreciated thank you
I wish everyone a merry Christmas & a happy new year
Look forward to seeing new & old faces onboard in 2024 the diary is open & its looking to be another crazy busy season.
Thanks everyone

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A welcome return back to sea yesterday after yet another lengthy spell off.
My old mate Simon England joined us to try for some Xmas Cod along with Alan Sutcliffe, Barry, Francis and Dave.
The day wasn’t hectic by any stretch, but a few fish were boated wherever we stopped.
No big fish to count, but some really nice plump Codling to just short of 5lbs.
The key to a “hopefully” successful day is always down to the bait quality and Simon always makes sure the best of baits are bought including (when available) crab cart/wings.
He had these with him yesterday and without a shadow of doubt he out-fished everyone on board with around 15 fish boated.
A few of those were returned safely and he left with 9 nice fish to just under 5lbs for the table.
Count for the day, around 25 keepers with the usual juveniles safely returned.
An unusual fish for the hook in these waters too with Dave landing a small Thornback ray. Nice to see for a change!
Young Fergus sadly missed yesterday’s trip as he lost his Grandma a few days ago.
Our thoughts and condolences go to to him and all his family.
Cheers for now,
Rich.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It was fantastic to finally get a day out today after another lengthy lay off with the poor weather.
I had a mixed group of less experienced Uptiding anglers aboard and an Uptiding Officianado!! We headed out north at first light and ran a couple of miles to a nice area of rough ground, which gave us some shelter from the fresh SW winds. It was a very steady start, with a few Codling here and there, plus a random brace of Lobsters, but this was the time when I try and get everyone fishing properly.
After an hour or so, with only a handful of resident Codling aboard, we nudged up a little further, to fish a lovely ledge which drops off 4m. Once the boat was in position, the lads dropped down and pleasingly there were a few fish about. We had the initial flurry of the fish which were around the boat, but then we started to get flushes of fresh fish moving through (which we haven’t been getting). After a quiet 15-20 minutes there would be multiple bites at once. Nigel Hughes picked up a couple of lovely Codling around 5lb, and Raimondas Zokas took one the same size.
There were some nice clean fish coming up, nothing huge, but it kept the rod tips nodding. Once the Ebb tide began to ease, the wind took more control and we swung around on the anchor, which was unproductive and frustrating. We took the opportunity to run another couple of miles further up to catch the first sniff of the flood tide. Once the Flood came through, we continued to get a few fish here and there. It certainly wasn’t as prolific as the Ebb, but we kept getting bites and a few fish.
As the Skipper I always want to base my angling decisions on whether we move on or not, on an experienced angler who I know. Today I had Simon West aboard and having fished with him on numerous occasions, I knew that if they were there, he’d get them. Simon always brings top quality bait and knows how to use it. With Squid, Fresh Black Lug, Fresh Razor Clams, Crab Cart etc he had a busy day. He kept five nice clean Codling and sportingly returned a lot more.
It was a really enjoyable day for me in fantastic company. Thanks everyone. View Boats Page
