    Photos from today's 6 hour trip

    Nice to be finally back at sea again with the sea conditions we've been having recently

    Overall everybody caught a sizable cod to take home some even had 4 to 5 each.

    As Well as the cod we had a few Pollock, coalfish, wrasse, pouting and lesser spotted dogfish

    Best baits today seamed to be feathers tipped with squid.

    We did get the occasional fish on the shads so it showing signs of the water clearing.

    As the video earlier showed we had a good amount of dolphins as we steamed to our first mark.

    3 Jun 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    I’ve done three trips since I last did a report and there is a good reason for that……The fishing has been far from brilliant for us and the fish we have been getting have been on the small side, with only a couple of fish over 5lb.

    We’ve currently got Northerly winds coming at us, but they haven’t been massive, so we’ve got a few trips in. The actual fishing conditions haven’t been perfect, with the anglers having to combat lines streaming a bit at certain points of the day.

    We’ve fished wrecks and rough ground, catching fish from both, but not in the numbers and size I hoped for. There are plenty of bites to be had on the rough ground from small Codling, Haddock and Ling but the better size fish just don’t seem to have arrived yet. A few “Scout” Mackerel also came off the 5 Mile ground.

    All methods are catching as the water clears out. Hokkai’s baited with Squid have dominated the rough ground and bait traces with Squid on the wrecks. Shads are catching plenty for the anglers who choose to use them from ground and wrecks.

    With the lack of decent fish, it’s a bit of a non-report, but I like to let everyone know what’s going on. As Del Trotter says..…..it’s not all Champagne and Skittles!! Tomorrow is another day and we always hope for a few decent fish.

    Thanks to all the anglers who have joined me for a day out, your support is greatly appreciated.

  • 31/05/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    31 May 2023 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Summer is finally on its way! We sailed into the expected shabby sea that was forecast this morning, it was forecast to ease by lunch and it did

    As we left the pier ends I noticed a lot of birds wheeling and diving, also the water was looking a lot clearer than it has for weeks, so I got the lads to rig some feathers for a drop at the bouy.

    We had 2 drifts and managed 4 codlings, a pollock a billet and a solitary mackerel! We have been seeing plenty of midwater marks the last few weeks so we've been expecting the mackerel any time.

    The tides are starting to lift again but theyre still on the small side, along with the breeze I headed straight to piece of ground that fishes well on these tides, we picked away steady till the tide eased then visited a few of my favourite wrecks until the tide started pushing then returned to ground again.

    The fishing was steady away all day taking fish on a mixture of shads, bait and baited muppet and hokkai rigs. The baited rigs taking the majority of the fish.we took a fair few species too, cod, ling, haddock, mackerel, coalie, pollock, ballan wrasse, and tub gurnard.

    I was kept fairly busy with the net all day but was surprised at the end of the day to see most of the lads had around a dozen fish a piece, best lad kept about 15, plenty of throw backs too, we finished with a tally of 70-80 codlings to keep, so it turned out to be a pretty good day for the lads.

    If you fancy a trip with me please give me a call on 07977 436 903, if I dont answer please leave a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

  • 31/05/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    31 May 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Pete Yeadon and the lads chose to have a go at the offshore wrecks yesterday on their second day with us.

    We ran North 22 miles to a group of 6 wrecks which are in fairly close proximity to each other.

    Slow fishing for the boys to be perfectly honest, the first three fish coming aboard being Mackerel!! No white fish from those at all. A little scary!!

    We moved to the more Eastern of the group and picked just a couple of dozen fish from those. A bouncy, rolly day on the water with lifting lines didn’t help things but I honestly don’t think the fish were there.

    Young Fergus, my crewman took the best fish of the day at 12lbs, a beautiful condition Cod.

    Jim taking the second heaviest at a shade under 9lbs.

    Shads and baited squid rigs catching.

    The banter over the last two days has been fantastic! A real good bunch of lads who it’s been a pleasure to sail with.
    See you all next year lads.

    Cheers

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Pete Yeadon and his 6mates from Leicestershire had the first of their two days with us yesterday.

    Nice easy neap tides for us meaning we could try a little wreck hopping for the day on the more inshore scrap.

    No golden ticket day to be honest but the lads took fish from each stop which resulted in a tally of around 40 fish to keep.

    No “clonkers” but some nice plump Codling to take.

    A real enjoyable day with great banter throughout.

    Sorry about the crap photo! My crewman Fergus needs lessons on how to use a camera!!

  • 29/05/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    29 May 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    A lovely day out today with a fantastic group of anglers. Top day in the office for me….

    Simon Ullyot and five friends had the boat for their first trip of 2023. With the tiny tide and light winds it was always going to be a day on the wrecks.

    We ran south a few miles to our first wreck and pleasingly it gave us some solid sport for a couple of hours. We took 2-4 Codling every drift and Norman Taylor was clumping them every run through. Nothing massive, but a lovely clean fish between 3-5lb.

    We proceeded to wreck hop for the rest of the day. In total we fished seven wrecks and just two were unproductive. It was great to finally get a bit of consistent sport.

    It was inevitable, but Annie Helliwell stole the show today. On her first boat trip, having never fished wrecks or caught a Cod, she took plenty of fish and also the biggest Codling of the day. She took on board the advice offered and it was great to see her improve as the day went on.

    The majority of the fish came to muppet bait traces with a whole squid mounted on them. But, when tried, the Shads were also working, Whites and Rhubarb & Custard being best. A sure sign that it is clearing out nicely.
    Everyone had plenty to take home today. A fantastic day spent in great company.

    Another good day just didn't have any fish over 5lb today. The water seemed really coloured again so we had to resort back to downtide fishing.

    But there was still plenty of sport with a good amount of 2 to 3lb codlings about and a few better pollock. Lost count of dogfish, pouting and coalfish.

    Heaviest fish today was a 4lb 2oz Pollock

    A different day completely for the guys who sailed with us yesterday.

    The plan was to run off to some offshore wrecks as the tides were easing back a lot.

    We decided to have a couple of tester drops en-route to see if things had changed inside a bit. It had!
    We picked away up and down the 7,8 and 9 mile grounds with some better fishing too.

    Ling to just over 10lbs and Codling to 7lb and a nice picking too.
    Easier tides usually make a big difference here at Whitby.

    Rob Moore from Selby having the best bag with 10 fish for himself.
    Rob also boating the biggest Ling at 10lb 2oz (just 1oz short of this months current heaviest fish)
    He also boated Codling to 7lb. A good day for him!

    Everyone on the boat taking a nice few fish home for the plates.

    What a difference a day makes!

  • 26/05/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    26 May 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today we had a day out on the offshore wrecks……and pleasingly it wasn’t too bad. Not brilliant, but definitely an improvement with the falling tides.

    We ran out to some wrecks in the 20 mile stream in an attempt to find a better stamp of fish.

    The first wreck definitely had a few fish on, but the lines were just streaming a little and the drift speed was a touch too fast for ideal fishing conditions. We took one or two fish a drift, which were mainly Codling, then Krzysztof Siwiec hooked a decent fish on a Squid baited Muppet trace. It turned out to be a nice 8lb 8oz Ling. We kept at it for a couple of hours then moved on as we were losing a bit of gear, and not getting so many fish.

    On the next wreck we were greeted by a Seal and having taken a few quick fish (including a nice 9lb 4 oz Ling for Don Wang) we moved on as it seemed the fishing had been affected. The next wreck saved the day, with 2-4 fish a drift with mainly a nice stamp of Codling in the 3-4lb bracket.

    Sea Urchin “stalwart” Ian Kellock was aboard today and fished brilliantly taking a great bag of fish on Shads and was “Top Rod” by a comfortable margin.

    It was fantastic to see a few better sized fish making an appearance, but will be even better when we don’t have to run out so far to find them.

    A massive thanks to everyone for an enjoyable day out.
