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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Catch report aboard Sea Urchin for Wednesday and Thursday……
Wednesday was our first day out this week, there was still 3-4ft of lazy swell hanging around and Westerly winds for us on the 4.9m tide. A great group of mixed experience anglers, came for the day out. After catching Mackerel for bait on the three mile ground, we saw a drift speed approaching 1.5 knots, which was a bit quick for the wrecks, so we covered some rough ground for an hour or so. We got a few fish each run through, but no great shakes.
Once the tide eased, we spent the remainder of the day wreck hopping. Despite the best efforts of the lads, we just picked up odd fish here and there. I believe the water wasn’t quite clear enough on the closer inshore wrecks we tried, as we moved out to the six mile stream for the last hour and picked a few more fish up. I was disappointed that we didn’t do better, but thanks to the lads for their perseverance.
Armed with yesterdays experience, we did almost a repeat, but pushed out a bit further where I was confident the water would be clearer.
Thankfully the wrecks we visited yielded much better results. One in particular kept us entertained for over two hours with 3-5 fish every drift. Everyone caught a few today, but long time Sea Urchin angler, Carl Madin, played an absolute blinder. He was top rod by a long way, filling his fish box with some great fish. Lots of Ling and a smattering of Codling, with his biggest going 15lb 12oz.
It was nice to get amongst a few fish today, but as I always say; irrespective of the fishing, I will only stop trying when the anglers do. Thanks to all the anglers for joining us the last two days.

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Unlike Tuesday this week, yesterday’s efforts weren’t rewarded well for us at all.
Seldom two days the same at present and that’s why it’s called fishing, not catching.
100% effort from all on board but a struggle really from start to finish with just a few fish here and there.
The best drop of the day was on a wreck just 3 miles East of the harbour on our way home.
On the first drift the lads boated 6 fish!
After that, just a couple more.
The Shads didn’t work very well for us either yesterday. The swell running from the North definitely hindering their performance at present with nearly all todays fish coming up on the fresh Mackerel baited rigs. I reckon the clarity isn’t so good on the bottom.
Around 25 fish for the day.
Hopefully a little better for us today, fingers crossed.
I’ll report on the not so good days as well as the good ones and you’ll be able to see your fish in the catches section on here, be-it a small fish or a “lunker!”
Always best to be open and honest about things in this game!
Cheers

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday started out on the fresh side with the breeze coming down from the NW at the back of tide, the drift was a bit quick for us.
We gathered the Mackerel, which, after the Northerly over the last couple of days were a pleasure to see.
Enough for the bait stocks in one 5 minute drift.
As the speed of the drift eased down towards 11.0am we dropped on a bit of scrap and the lads benefited from a good 2 hours fishing with a good number of Ling to just under 9lb coming aboard and Cod to 13lbs too!
The bait fishing was the best today with the fresh Mackerel doing the business.
Henry, one of our Chinese contingent landed the cracking Cod of 13lb dead and jumps into the lead for the free trip offered on the Shy-Torque III this month and each month until October. Well done and good luck to him!
The better of today’s fish coming up on the baited rigs. The Shads taking a few, but after the last couple of days Northerly’s I think the water is just off clear on the bottom.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
As the tides ease back towards the neaps this coming week, the fishing has become much steadier on the more inshore marks.
Yesterday, we started the day off, as is the norm this time of year, looking for the Mackerel to get the bait for the day. Not quite as good as the day previous but still plenty enough for what we needed.
We started our bottom fishing on the 7 mile again but the fishing was poor compared to Friday. Just a dozen or so fish to keep.
Slack water was 10.30am so we uprooted and dropped on a bit of scrap on the 9 mile where we picked nicely for a couple of hours.
An old mate, Craig Harland, who I haven’t seen for a year or so was with us and he fished well on the wreck bring up doubles of Codling and some Ling.
Around 35 fish taken there.
Once we’d “milked” the wreck we ran to the ground marks nearby and managed to boat a further 20+ fish to end the day. The usual Whiting, Pouting and Haddock boated along the way too.
Mat Spinks took the best Codling of the day, a couple of ounces over 7lb.
Another great day at sea with good company.
A few of yesterday’s fish shown.
Cheers

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We sailed yesterday with a mixed group of lads.
The NW breeze at the back of the tide hindered us somewhat to start the day, so we gathered up the Mackerel for the bait stocks. Millions of them!! (Only kept enough for what we needed though)
As the tide started to ease back around 9.30am we dropped on a local ground mark. It kept us going for a steady 2-3 hours where the guys picked away at Codling Ling and Haddock.
The baited rigs probably being the most successful, but the Shads also clicking a good number too.
My old mate May Spinks showed me a gold and white Shad which he said he had never caught a thing on,ever. Said it was rubbish and I’d have no chance with it. I popped it on a nabbed 8 fish with it! Anglers and “danglers”!
All in all a great day out with sport for everyone on board.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Andy Savage

20 Jul 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today was almost a day of two halves……at one point this morning I thought we were really going to struggle, but then things turned out ok after all.
Another friendly mixed group of lads; some I had met many times before, but the first time for others. We also had very mixed angling experiences, from complete novice to very experienced. It was my kind of day….I love getting the less experienced anglers fishing well. We had a look at the Bell Buoy first for some Mackerel, but there were scant pickings. Thankfully a run out to the three mile ground got us plenty for the day.
I had hoped to drop on a few wrecks close by at the first slack, but the wind and tide together made the drift too fast, even at slack!! As the Ebb Tide came through, sea conditions deteriorated and I thought that we were really going to struggle. However, a run out to the seven mile ground proved to be a decent move. As the wind and tide were against each other, the drift was very slow, but ran in the perfect direction to cover some cracking ground marks.
All of a sudden, the Codling started coming up with some regularity on the bait traces and Hokkai’s. Nothing enormous, but everyone got a few. Once the drift changed, we pushed out to the nine mile ground and the bites continued for another hour or so. Dave Worsfold and Brendan Swain both taking a nice Ling apiece, amongst the Codling.
Just as the tide began to ease , we ran back in for a couple more drifts on the seven mile ground, with a view to finishing on a couple of wrecks at the end of the day. We overran on one particular drift whilst I untangled some lines and Andy Mason went and rattled up a nice 9lb 12oz Cod!! Well done Andy.
We finished on a couple of wrecks for a few more Codling, then ran back in. All the anglers were fantastic company and it’s nice when everyone on the boat gets on well. Thanks for coming today boys, I really appreciate the support. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A great day for our mixed team today on the Shy-Torque III yesterday.
A perfect day for a cruise to escape the fairly heavy running tide on the more inshore marks.
We chose a run out to the offshore “Hills” for a change of scenery and they were wick with fish. Soon the deck was “alive with the sound of fish flapping!!” Sorry! ��
With no moves throughout the day, the lads had the chance of a great days sport on the fish and the majority did just that. The team ending up with the thick end of 90 fish to keep.
No big fish today but some lovely plump Codling to just short of the 7lb mark.
A fabulous day in the water with everyone taking a nice bag of fish home.
Crewman Fergus and me really enjoyed the day too.
Cheers lads and see you all again.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Well, that’s yet another Summer angling competition over here at Whitby.
Firstly I’d like to congratulate my old mate John Wilford, skipper of the charter boat 2 Dogs on his win in this year’s event.
John’s angler Peter O’Donnell from Hull caught a cracking Ling of 16lb 12oz early in the competition which held out to the end and bagged him the top prize of £1000.00 plus his £50.00 Daily Cash prize.
Peter also gets a 2 night stay at the Middle Earth Tavern. Well done to him!!
Our results personally weren’t too bad to be fair.
Alan Brown from Blackburn took 3rd place overall on the Shy-Torque III which won him £500.00 plus a 2 night stay at the Middle Earth Tavern. His fish also wins him a free trip on our boat for the heaviest fish on the boat in June. Well done to him!
Edward Davies took the junior prize on the Shy-Torque III with a Codling of 5lb 1/2oz.
His fish wins him a nice £200.00
More new tackle being bought there I reckon. Well done to you Ted!!
All in all a competition with very mixed weather this year which did impede us, with 11 days of cancellations!
I’m sure a lot more fish would have been taken to the scales had we got out more, but that’s the great British weather for you!
I’d like to thank all our sponsors in the event this year too, without who, we wouldn’t be able to host these great competitions. Cheers.
Also, a big thank you to all those who had a go this year. If you weren’t lucky enough to bag a winning fish in this competition, there is always next year’s, or you could have a go in our late Summer competition in September which starts on Saturday 9th September and runs for a fortnight. Some lovely prizes to be had in that one too!
Cheers for now,

Fishing Report by Andy Savage

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
With a group of very experienced anglers aboard, some decent weather and with a good tide for wrecking, we had all the ingredients for a cracking day out today……
To start the day we managed to get all the fresh Mackerel we needed from the Bell Buoy, which was pleasing. After that we spent the rest of the day on the wrecks. The last of the Ebb Tide and Slack water weren’t particularly productive on the three wrecks we fished in that period. Although Ian Steadman literally caught on every drift, having a great start to the day. Taking Ling and Codling to 6lb.
Once the flood tide came through, we ran further south and fished a few wrecks which don’t see as much attention, in the hope of finding a better sized fish. Muppet bait traces with either a whole fresh Mackerel fillet or Squid and Mackerel cocktail took the majority of the fish, although Hokkai’s still produced a fair few.
The four wrecks we fished for the rest of the day weren’t too bad at all. Most drifts saw 2-4 fish come up. Proportionately, it was a 50/50 split between Ling and Codling. The average size of the fish wasn’t amazing, but we had a fair few in the 4-6lb class. Ian Kellock took the biggest Ling of the day at 8lb 4 oz and Neil Pickard the biggest Codling at 10lb 10oz. There were also a couple of Codling double shots, which are always good to see.
Such was the banter and excellent company, all too soon it was time to head back in. Everyone had a few to take home today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of laughs and mickey taking. Thanks to all the lads for a fantastic day out. View Boats Page

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The last couple of days haven’t been too bad fish wise. Just a pesky off land breeze making things tricky at times.
Monday fished the best out of the two days with the weather conditions being the better out of the two, with around 50 fish boated to keep and the usual smaller chuck backs.
The Summer competition comes to a close this weekend and with the forecasters predicting strong winds for Saturday and Sunday, it might end on Friday. Let’s hope it changes for the better for all the competitors.
Good luck to one and all.
Cheers for now,
Rich
