05/2009 Fishing Report by Pete Rose on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

May 2009 by Pete Rose

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

Well this week has been a good week all in all with plenty of cod showing on certain wrecks and also a few good days fishing on the ground, the water was beginning to bloom up again which made for hard work inshore, plenty of marks but not easy to catch, had a good day on Friday I think? when local angler Howard gave us all a lesson on how to catch fish, he was taking fish on shad/bait/jigger you name it he could not fail just makes you realise that even when fish are around skill and experience make a hell of a difference,some of the other anglers on board were relative beginners and were it not for Howard filling up they may have returned home thinking there were no fish to be had, still everyone had agreed how nice it was to see double figure fish come aboard,
then Saturday saw a wonderfull weather day at sea, the water was blooming in patches here and there which explained why some marks fished and others zeroed still tortured a few marks which produced more double figured cod see picture Glenn stocks the honary president of the w.c.s.a. who chartered sea urchin II on Saturday,most fish were caught on bait rigs and only one fish fell to the shad? strange how things change on a day to day basis, big ling was noware to be seen this week my best was around 11lb still lots of straps we put back a huge amount, not a lot of whiting say a dozen all week and yes I lost count of the pouting returned, if all the fishing were this productive it would be heaven, still thats fishing.

"THE WALTONS" - Bill Walton and his small group of friends came out on a specialised trip for plaice and turbot.They were not dissapointed.I set up a drift on the mussel beds and on the first drift four plaice were caught and the same on the next drift this was added by a few more in the next hour including a 5Ib 2oz plaice caught by Bill him self.Bill in fact landed four plaice.Then we drifted the famous Shambles Bank and caught two turbot weighing 11Ib and 9Ib also a cod of 6Ib.So all in all a satisfactory day at the office despite the thick fog that we had to endure all day.Just a special note to a member of the group who did note catch a plaice or a turbot,Fred did well catching dogfish and pout clearing them out the way for the others to catch the flatty's,perhaps it will Fred's turn for the flatty's next time.

Report on-board Chrisanda

Breezy day ,end of season cod fishing , hopes were not high ! How wrong i was, best days cod fishing i've had in years if not ever ! Skipper came up trumps with 4 of us catching 50 + cod upto 10 pounds , and a bonus hard fighting Spurdog weighing in at 15 pounds 8 oz . good quality squid provided by the boat accounted for all the catch and to round it off bacon butties and as much tea as you could drink, what more could you want ! Cant wait for the next trip , looking to target one of those big dogs or hit into some thornies . HAPPY DAYS !!!!
