Report on-board Galloper
Joe and the lads made the most of a weather window the other day and were rewarded with a great day offshore on the bass. It was very busy at times as expected with several of the lads on a fish a cast. The stamp wasn't huge but there were plenty for the table and great sport with the rest.
The weather is looking good for Sunday and I have spaces offshore bass fishing.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
23 Nov 2023 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Arthur and Stan from the South East had their last day out of their four days with us yesterday.
They were joined by Simon from Lancashire.
I did give Simon the option of travelling across when we spoke the evening before with the forecasts not really being too favourable and he decided to give it a try.
We were always going to get to sea with the morning’s breeze coming from the West, but weren’t sure how long we were going to get as the forecasts were giving the breeze to swing more NW.
We decided to sail an hour early to try gain the best of the early calmer weather conditions and when we arrived at the first mark it was just breaking daylight.
No matter, the anchor was dropped and we started.
First fish on board was a Pouting, sharply followed by a lovely Cod of 7lb 12oz caught by Stan.
The fish didn’t commit properly to the fresh baits on offer and were very finicky.
Plenty of bites but not many solid takes with just half a dozen fish taken there.
A short move further inshore to a mark in just five fathom of water proved a good one.
A nice sprinkling of Codling coming onboard straight away with a couple of oddments boated too.
Simon clicking a small Conger just under 5lbs (first one since the ones we had early this year and was returned safely) and Stan with a pesky Dogfish!
Fergus dropped a nice big juicy bait in a landed himself a nice Cod just over 8lbs. Super sport in the shallow water!
Before we knew it, it was time to up anchor and head back home.
Three very happy chaps at the end of day taking some nice fish back for the plates.
A couple of fish which may have been contenders for the upcoming Uptiding Competition today.
Let’s hope the weather lets us try for a few more like these next week.
Competition 25th November to 3rd December. £1000.00 for the heaviest fish landed over the 9 days. Just a few places left now.
Cheers
Rich

The inshore fishing is still steady with loads of fish on our sheltered marks meaning little reason to cancel. Of course there are still hoards of whiting and dogfish with a few dabs and pouting in between. There are a few rays, codling and surprisingly still bass to showing to put a bend in the rods. There must be plenty about as even the skipper can catch them (must work on my selfie skills)

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
19 Nov 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It’s been great to finally have a few days back at sea with some better weather. The tides have been perfect for Uptiding, so that’s what we’ve been doing.
I like to report both good, average and poor days as I think it’s important to provide balance. Not every day can be a Red Letter Day and the last three trips I’ve done, have certainly been wide of the mark on being a “Red Letter Day”. The three trips have seen varied levels of angler experience. Thursday saw Igors Fortuna and his mates book the boat. With no Uptiding experience at all, it was a learning curve and whilst we did get a picking of small Codling, the lads underestimated the importance of bait and ran a bit short of worm (which I find essential).
Friday was one of my fishing days with some friends who all love Uptiding. We had a lot of good bait and everyone knew the drills. We had just started getting a few fish, when a seal turned up and took the fish off we hooked. The rest of the day was spent moving from place to place, trying to string a few fish together. Tony Barrett took the best of the day at around 5lb.
Today I had a group of mixed experience anglers aboard. To be fair, they all fished really well and kept at it all day. There was a small picking of fish, but once again, nothing exceptional. What we seem to be experiencing is that on arrival at a new spot, there have been a few bites from the fish that are in the immediate vicinity of the boat, then it quietens down. There don’t seem to be many flushes of fresh fish running through, so we’re not getting a second, third, fourth run of fish and have to keep moving to find bites.
The usual baits of Dirty Squid, Black Lug, Crab Cart/Wings have been doing the majority of the bites on running ledgers and flowing traces. I believe it’s only a matter of time before we get some fresh fish of a bigger average size moving through. A bit of a cold spell certainly wouldn’t go amiss.
Thanks to everyone for the support and being great company on these more difficult days. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After finding a few fish to the North side of the harbour on Thursday, we chose to run the same direction again yesterday.
We dropped in on the same spot we’d found a picking of Codling on Thursday morning’s ebb tide for one Haddock and a couple of Pouting and Whiting! Not very good at all.
We waited for the tide to start running a bit stronger for a sign of improvement but sadly to no avail.
“Up anchor and move” was the order from my young crewman Fergus, so we moved a slack mile further on.
As soon as the anchor touched down the lines were in and the Codling were banging the baits immediately!
Thirty minutes of fun,fun, fun!
We hardly had time to bait the extra rigs up before the next fish had taken!
Fast and mad, which was a great booster and with the fish being a slightly better stamp from yesterday the sport was also much better.
Chris Williamson from Middlesbrough taking a nice 8 fish himself on his baited “Hartlepool bait rig”
Barry from Lancashire taking a similar bag himself.
Arthur and Stan who are fishing with us for a week, taking a good dozen or so Codling between them and Fergus and me landing a good 20+ Codling too.
Great fun fishing and with the banter as funny as ever, a fun filled day for each and everyone on board.
Cheers for the cracking company lads and we’ll see you again soon.

Report on-board Mistress
We managed another nice day at sea yesterday, making the most of the settled weather.
We covered some miles yesterday heading to some ground we havent been near since last winter, so hopes were high for some good fishing. I'd been plagued by an absolute walrus of a seal the previous day too which also swayed my decision to head the other way!
The tide was just starting to run as we arrived and we got off to a slow start, despite moving about we were only taking a handful of bits each stop with the odd better fish thrown in.
I used the last of the ebb to run back north for the start of the flood, which turned out to.be a good decision!.
The last 2 and half hours fished well for us, with everybody getting some sport.
We counted up 40-50 fish for the day, only keeping the 3-5lb stuff, lots of tid codlings returned again.
I'm hoping the bigger ones will start showing once the water cools a bit further.

Another fairly successful day on the Uptiding grounds yesterday.
We started on one of of our more popular marks just a couple of miles North of the harbour and stayed there for the whole day.
A slow but steady picking for the lads who worked hard at it.
Young Fergus (crew) and myself boating around 15 Codling which we handed to the lads.
Sorin travelled up from London to join us for the day and went home with a nice few Codling, a Haddock and a (very rare for the Uptiding) Bass!
Around 20 undersized fish being returned
to the water safely.
A lovely relaxing day at sea with the usual banter.
Cheers for now,

Fishing Report by Andy Savage

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It's been a long time since I've posted a catch report, due to the fact that I've not been out to sea!! We've endured Storms Babet and Ciaran which have really stirred things up. Pretty much putting us straight into Winter Uptiding mode.
The first trip out for a few weeks was last Thursday. Originally the trip was advertised as a wrecking trip, as it was a small tide. The winds were moderate and "off land" which meant we couldn't run off to the 20 mile wrecks. If we were going to fish, it would be an Uptiding trip, or nothing. Giving everyone the chance to drop out if they didn't fancy it, I was pleasantly surprised that everyone was still keen for a day out.
We spent the day on the Northern Uptiding grounds and it didn't take long for the lads to get to grips with the fishing. First stop on the Ebb saw a steady stream of small Codling, an odd Pouting and a "Berried" Lobster (which was returned immediately).
We had three moves during the Ebb Tide and and picked up fish at every move. Slack water wasn't great (as usual when Uptiding) but the first sniff of the Flood Tide saw a few better sized Codling come up. The Flood wasn't great, but everyone got a few to take home. As usual, Squid and Black Lugworm did all the bites.
Sunday saw a similar sort of day, but with a slightly bigger tide. Running North again, the lads picked away, but the average size was still small (50/50 on throwbacks to keepers). There were a couple of experienced Uptiders aboard and they demonstrated that with good bait and good presentation, there are plenty of bites to be had.
Experienced angler Jason Shields had fresh worm and crab cart with him, but for whatever reason, the undersized fish just terrorised him all day. It was a real head scratcher, as fishing next to him, Dave Fowls managed to get a stream of slightly better sized fish ending up with a dozen Codling to keep.
Apologies for the lack of fish pictures, but we didn't get anything above 3-4lb, with the majority being smaller. The fishing was far from prolific, but it was great to finally have a couple of days back at sea, spent in great company. Thanks Lads View Boats Page
