    Report on-board Piscary

    Got out this week for the February round of the Piscary Super League.Once again it was 2 very different days.On Thursday we had 8 species on the boat. Absolutely stunning weather but a biggish tide so we spent the morning inshore where we had an unbelievable amount of Whiting with the odd Dog and Blonde Ray.As soon as it was possible with the tide we headed off to a new mark offshore which I've been wanting to try and although it was a bit snaggy the Congers Spurdogs,Tope and Bullhuss were queuing up to be caught
    1st in the day was Ray Barron with 196 points
    2nd Steve Harder 143
    3rd Matt Pitter 129
    Unfortunately on the Friday the condition were not so favourable so we stayed inshore less fish but more species 10 in total once again lots and lots of Whiting 3 species of Ray, Tub Gurnard,Conger,Turbot and Brill!
    1st on the day was Richard Dicky Day with 103 points
    2nd Gary Young 89
    2nd Mike Fox 89
    4th Paul Hollyoake 86
    Looking at the current forcast I'm not planning on doing any trips in the next fortnight if anything changes I'll post on here.

  • 03/02/2024 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    3 Feb 2024 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    We finally got a break in the weather today which allowed us to have a run out.

    The original plan was to run off to some distant wrecks, but the wind was too fresh for that, so we would spend the day Uptiding. I gave the lads booked on the option of coming or not (as some don’t like Uptiding) and 6 of the 9 dropped out. I found another three lads who love their Uptiding, giving six plus me for a days fishing.

    Using the Flood Tide we ran south a few miles to start off. First time angler Brad was off the mark almost immediately, which is usually the way; giving him bragging rights over his mates Aaron and Andy! There were a mix of fish caught over the next hour. Some Codling, plus Whiting, Pouting an odd Doggie and a rogue Lobster for Brian Milne. We had a short move when the bites slowed up and picked away again until we started to lose the tide.

    As the boat began to swing on the anchor, we ran a couple of miles further south to get the first sniff of the Ebb Tide. Unfortunately the wind lifted and we spent a frustrating hour swinging about with the wind against tide…..we needed a change.

    Running back towards Whitby we stopped at an area where I knew there would be a good bit of tide and pleasingly managed to get the boat back on the anchor against the wind, holding steady.
    That turned out to be the last move of the day as the bites kept on coming. We had a good selection of baits including Squid, Black Lugworm, Crab Cart, Mackerel, Razor Clams. Squid and Blacks and Mackerel were the best today.

    Whilst we didn’t have a massive average stamp of Codling, I was so pleased when Dave Fowls, who travelled up last minute from Shropshire landed the biggest fish of the day; a lovely Cod of 9lb 12oz. Squid and Blacks doing the business for him.

    It was a lovely day out spent in great company. The weather was cracking and the company matched it. Thanks lads, really appreciate the support

    14 Jan 2024 by Steve Green

    Report on-board Brigand

    2024 brigand 1st trip

    First trip of 2024 for ustoday and the target species was Pollock.
    Always exciting to be heading out for the first trip of a new season so with a fantastic crew onbaord, full tanks of fuel, a determination to keep our 8 year, 100% catch rate intact we headed South in near perfect conditions.
    Water clarity is vital when targetting Pollock with lures and we could see the colour changes from 3 miles away, really stark .......and really positive as inshore clarity was poor to extremely poor.
    The first fish aboard was not particularly inspiring, a rather surprised looking Pouting! Then the guys got into it - 3 double figure fish on the bounce with probably the deepest Pollock that we have ever seen expertly boated by Max..... looked more like a Cod with a hugely distended belly, very unusual. A smattering of smaller Pollock in the 4-7lb range as we worked out around the wrecks before heading in before the forecast F5 on the nose kicked in.
    All in all, a solid start to the season with a wonderful crew and plenty of valuable intelligence gathered.
    Huge thanks to all who fished with us today, was an absolute pleasure sharing time at sea with you all.
    Best wishes

  • 08/01/2024 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    8 Jan 2024 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    With the weather being a little kinder to us, we managed to get to sea over the last three days on the Shy-Torque III.

    On Friday we decided to give the offshore option a go first and ran out to the 9 mile area where we dropped on a couple of bits of scrap and several ground marks.
    After a couple of hours of trying everything we knew, we decided to run back inshore and drop the anchor as only one “bootlace” Ling was boated!

    With the tide only running slow on a 4.3m the Uptiding/Downtiding was never going to be at its best, but we had to give it a go and
    3 hours later we only managed another 15 or so Codling plus the usual other bits and bobs.
    A slow day to be fair but enjoyable nevertheless.

    On Saturday we decided to concentrate more on the Uptiding marks after the previous day and at the end of the day we had only managed to boat 20 or so fish.
    Still, better to see the the rods twitching with something!

    On Sunday we had a team of mixed East Europeans with us and they asked to have a run offshore (even though I’d explained it wasn’t fishing) so we headed out in a different direction and tried a couple of wrecks out to the East of the harbour.
    A slightly better day (but still not good) with around 30 fish boated.

    Every single fish over the last three trips have been landed on baited rigs, indicating that even further offshore, the water is still very murky after the constant storms we’ve seen over the early winter period.

    This coming week we see the tides building back up to the sizes we like for the inshore work, so here’s hoping things pick up a little for us on the Uptiding/Downtiding marks.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich

    Report on-board Galloper


    if you are a sea angler beach or boat either fanatical or occasional and you have fished around the greater Thames Estuary then it is likely you have fished for thornback rays. if you have fished here the last few years you will undoubtedly noticed the steep decline in their numbers. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
    please take the time to fill out this survey, attend an online meeting, or voice your opinion in some official way to try and get sea angling the recognition it deserves. we seem to be under represented when ever it matters so please stand up and be counted. it wont take long, you invest money into angling weather it is by spending it on charter boats, tackle, bait, traveling or taking time off. protect your investment by taking part now.
    i'm not sure what the rules are about sharing the links on here but i have put them on my own social media and website
