Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a fantastic two weeks away on the I.O.M at the TT races with our Charlie and our mate Mick Jones, it’s back to work again.
Some lovely calm conditions yesterday although rather wet at times, gave Daryl Machant and his mates a decent chance on the fish.
Nice neap tides too for the lads, making for some easy fishing.
We ran to a couple of wrecks North of the harbour to start the day, using the remaining ebb tide.
First one produced just a handful of fish, but the second one kept us going for a couple of hours. The lads plucking an odd fish or two each drift.
Cod, Ling, Pollock,Coaley and a few Haddock coming off that one. Bono taking a double hook-up of Haddock.
Good to see fish coming up on the artificial lures again, as well as the bait obvs.
After we had picked that wreck clean, we decided to trot back into another small wreck inside and took ten more keepers from that one.
To finish the day off we dropped on a strip of ground and were very pleased to see a large amount of feed on the ledges.
We dropped in full of excitement and expectation but sadly not many bigger fish feeding there yet. Just ten or so more fish off the ground over the last three drifts.
I’m thinking it won’t be long before this area starts fishing really well.
John (Sped) having the best catch on the boat with around a dozen fish with Codling to just over 5lb.
The rest of the team taking half a dozen to ten fish each.
Daryl taking the heaviest fish, a nice Ling just over 11lbs (although Fergus’s picture doesn’t do it justice ��)
Young Fergus filleted the fish for the lads on the way home and reported in that we’d had around sixty fish to keep which wasn’t a bad days work at all for the six of them.
Cheers lads, always a pleasure sailing with you guys.
Looking forward to the next few days where we will be trying some more inshore wrecks. A mate of mine tells me the water is clearing nicely inshore too so fingers crossed.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
15 Jun 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today I had the pleasure of the Milnrow Sea Anglers aboard for their first trip of the year. The six lads had booked the boat for a day out on the wrecks. I didn’t do a catch report for my last trip (Thursday 13th), because quite simply it was very poor fishing. We tried everything for very little return, so I was hoping for a marked improvement today.
We headed out with around an hour until slack water. Instead of wasting time trying to catch Mackerel we dropped straight on a wreck a couple of miles from the pier ends. With us losing tide, I’d recommended going in with bait traces (as opposed to Shads) and we hit the ground running, taking up to four fish a drift for the next couple of hours. After the last trip, I was relieved to get a few fish. The water looked to have cleared out a bit and we took mainly Codling and strap Ling, with an odd Gurnard and Pouting.
Once sport slowed up, we moved on, having a quick drop for Mackerel whilst on our way to the next wreck. With the tide now running some of the lads switched over to Shads and they worked well for the rest of the day, which suggests the water clarity is improving again.
We fished a further four wrecks while moving progressively further south. I noticed that the further south we went, the lads on Shads were not catching many fish clean in the mouth and the slower the sport appeared to be overall; so just after dinner we ran back north a few miles. That did the trick and we ended the day in a similar vein as we started. I don’t accurately count numbers of fish, but I’m fairly sure that today the Shads must have equalled the bait caught fish.
Pink and white were the standout colours today on the Shads and Hokkai’s. If we put fresh Mackerel on we got pestered by strap Ling, so we mainly stuck with Squid, or Shads which the Codling showed a preference for.
We caught no monsters today, with the biggest Ling being around 7lb and Codling to just over 5lb; but the most pleasing aspect was the consistency. With experienced anglers aboard, they knew when to make the changes to get the best from the day…….and the banter was brilliant!! Thanks lads. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
3 Jun 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The weather forecast today wasn’t settled enough in the morning to run the 14hr trip we had booked in the diary, so unfortunately we had to put that to one side.
With the winds due to fall away from midday I thought it would be a great opportunity to have a few hours fishing in the afternoon/evening with a few mates……none of them were available so I went with the three reprobates in the pictures!!
Ian, Dave and Tony love their lure fishing (as do I) so we agreed that we would try fishing hard inside on the rough ground where we Uptide fish in the winter. It is fantastic fun and can be very productive on light tackle.
We all had three or four rods setup each, so we could quickly switch between tactics. A regular bait fishing rod with a muppet trace, a lighter shad fishing rod, a light lure rod and/or a slow pitch jigging rod.
Initially we ran North a couple of miles, stopping occasionally to check the water colour/clarity. We generally find the clearer water is necessary for the lures and shads to work properly. What I saw didn’t thrill me at all. It was very green and with not much clarity, I thought we would struggle…..and initially we did!
We all tried for over an hour in the rough ground with the light tackle, but all we managed was two lost small fish and a tiny Whiting. Plan B was definitely required. I thought our best chance of success was to try a couple of wrecks, where hopefully the fish would be a bit more concentrated, so we moved out to a nearby one.
This had the desired effect and first drift three out of four rods had a fish. We initially went with squid on muppet traces, but then quickly started switching methods as we knew there were plenty of fish around.
For the next few hours we fished away and caught fish on all four methods, but the highlight was definitely at slack water when the four of us were using 10-50g jigging rods, 4oz leads and small shads in 40m of water catching quality Codling of 4-5lb.
It was an absolute pleasure to spend a few hours with likeminded anglers and we never stopped learning new things. Definitely my most enjoyable session this year….thanks lads View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today was a “Tick Over” type of day…..We didn’t smash it out of the park, but equally, it wasn’t a complete wash out!
I had a great bunch of lads on, and with everyone being aboard for 0615hrs, we had a nice early hop. After a couple of days of moderate Northerly winds, I thought the inshore grounds might still be a bit green, so opted to run out to try a few wrecks. First stop at 12 miles was a wreck we filled up on a couple of weeks ago; but today the water resembled a “Kermit the Frog Smoothie” with the May-Bloom. After only three drifts and three Pouting, we pressed on for another eight miles.
Next stop was a bit more encouraging as I drifted over the small wreck, it was lit up nicely on the echo sounder, so clearly some fish in residence. The boys went over with a mix of muppet bait traces and Hokkai’s baited with Squid or Mackerel and we started to pick off a fish or two each drift. Paul Mawson took a nice Ling just under double figures and we had a reasonable stamp of Codling 3-4lb, plus Haddock and a couple of Coalie’s. We persevered through slack water and waited for the flood tide to come through, before eventually moving on another five miles to what turned out to be, our last wreck of the day.
The drift line allowed us to run along the substantial wreck and we spent the next couple of hours taking 2-3 fish a drift. As mentioned, the sport wasn’t electric, but it was consistent. Everyone managed a few fish and Joe Fender took a nice new Pb Codling of 6lb 12oz, which was great to see. Just towards the end of the day we were joined by “Sammy the Seal” and after stripping off a couple of fish, sport dried up. We agreed to have one more drift and pleasingly, Will Freeman connected with a nice Pollock which he wound as fast as he could, while we all laughed and waited for the seal to nick it. Thankfully he managed to land the fish and we headed back into Whitby.
As alluded to earlier; it was far from a Red Letter Day, but the lads all fished well and kept at it consistently. Thanks for coming everyone View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
28 May 2024 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Two day report on Shy-Torque III.
Saturday 25th May.
There is a fair amount of Algae Bloom in the water at present making for some quite difficult fishing for the lads n lasses.
On occasion, we do find an odd clear patch and this is when we click a few fish.
What’s been noticeable is that the clarity on the surface few fathoms isn’t too bad at all and we can see the fish some 20-30 ft down. We just need it like that on the bottom again now. Shouldn’t be too long.
A mixed group of 8 anglers on the boat on Saturday gone.
We started off by working the ground on the 5 mile for just a couple of fish and within a couple of hours and half a dozen stops later, found ourselves out on a small wreck just over 12 miles offshore. Just one fish from that.
Fish count by this time was just 5 fish to keep. The usual throw backs too.
We continued the hunt, working some more bits in to the West, where we did start picking a few more fish up, but nothing to make it a top drawer day.
The banter helped make the day go by as usual, with some great conversations and stories about motorcycles, my other great passion!
Thanks to the lads for having robust patience throughout the day and working tirelessly to try and tempt the fish to the hooks.
Monday 27th May.
Yesterday saw another mixed group join us on the boat.
As the forecast was very good for the day, we chose to run a little further out to try and get some clearer water from the start.
We steamed to a wreck 18 miles East of the town to start the day.
First drift was good with around eight fish boated. Three of them (Coalies) falling to Joseph. He had dropped down with a five hook Mackerel trace a clicked a treble!!
Great sport!!
I also managed a nice Codling on a shad, fair and square in the mouth. Clearer water it seemed.
We picked away at the wreck for a couple of hours, taking an odd fish or two each go.
Allen Hallworth, Joseph and their two friends from Manchester filling a “Gorilla” tub to the top between them with Codling, Ling, Coaley and the odd Pouting.
Reasonable fishing for them.
After we had milked the wreck, we moved in towards land a few miles and tried another couple of wrecks, where the group took another dozen or so fish.
The majority of fish were taken on the baited rigs with the usual squid and frozen Mackerel.
We saw a Mackerel on each of the last few trips too!
Nice to see those fellas in the water again and it won’t be too long until young Fergus is washing down a messy boat again!!
Cheers for now and good fishing to you all wherever you wet your lines.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
25 May 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Not the report that I had hoped to post, but you have to take the rough with the smooth and I think context is important. Tell the good and the bad is what I say.
The last two days have once again been a real struggle caused by what we believe to be May Bloom in the water. May Bloom is common at this time of year, and is (broadly speaking) an algae bloom caused by increased sunlight and rising temperatures, which reduces the amount of oxygen in the water. The fish don’t like it and sport always suffers due to its presence, but a decent bit of wind can break it up fairly quickly.
With the tides being on the large side, both days were spent on a mix of wrecks and rough ground. On Friday, we left a bit earlier to arrive at a couple of wrecks at slack water, but after trying four wrecks for just a handful of small Codling and Pouting, we moved onto the rough ground. We tried the five mile, seven mile and nine mile areas but we barely took a life.
Then the Easterly wind lifted after dinner and the lines were streaming so bad, that we called it a day mid afternoon. Bait traces, Shads and squid baited Hokkai’s were all used, but it was a tough gig, with very little in the fish boxes. The lads aboard were all very patient and thankfully there were no “Freezer Fillers” aboard, so spirits were positive all day.
Today we started on the three mile ground and had a few drifts while waiting for the tide to ease so we could drop on a wreck. Pleasingly, we actually got a few fish each drift, including the first “Scout” Mackerel of the year.
We fished two wrecks through slack, with the first being terrible. Trying another one near where we started, we took 2-4 Codling a drift for half an hour. Nothing enormous, but a couple around 5lb were great to see.
After that we fished the three mile, five mile and seven mile ground for very little return. Thankfully the second slack water in the afternoon gave us another dozen Codling to keep, but it wasn’t great. Same baits and tactics were employed as usual and the lads fished well. It’s just a shame the fish weren’t responsive.
Hopefully the next report will be a bit more positive. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Newcomers to the Shy-Torque Phil Bland and his mates from Bedale joined us yesterday.
We mostly picked away on the rough ground marks as the lads were fairly new to the game, dropping on just two bits of scrap over slack water.
Again, the baited rigs out fishing the artificial gear with squid being the best bait. I’m fair sure the bloom is lurking down there in places.
Tally for the day, around 35 fish to keep which between 10 men isn’t a good show by far, but the lads really enjoyed the day out with us nevertheless.
Cheers lads, nice meeting you and enjoyed your company. See you again soon.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
20 May 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After two quite decent days, the last two have been fairly poor by contrast. Sunday saw a group of mixed experience anglers aboard, and with the wind still coming from the Northerly quarter, we planned a similar day as Saturday when we did ok.
Thankfully, the fog had lifted, so it was nice not to be glued to the radar as we ran North. Starting off on a few wrecks, we had literally an odd Pouting and few undersized Codling and tiny Ling. Jamie Britton managed to trip up a Codling of 5lb 8oz, but other than that it was pretty dire. On the turn of tide, I decided to move us onto some ground marks, running back towards Whitby. We picked up an odd strap Ling and Codling, but there was nothing to shout about. The lads used the regular tactics, but disappointingly it turned out to be a poor day on the fish catching front.
Today I had Alan and his friends on who fish with me regularly. They had asked for a 12hr trip so we got away just after 0500hrs and with the poor results of the previous day etched firmly in my mind, we ran off to try a couple of wrecks further out. First stop at 12 miles kept us going for an hour or so, with one or two fish each drift. Ling were the dominant species, but they were all straps, so we moved on.
Thankfully the next wreck was lit up a treat with lots of fish and feed marking, but it took a few drifts to nail down where we could catch them. With that sorted, we had a couple of hours fishing away steadily until we lost the tide, at which point the sport dried up. We had some nice Codling around the 5lb mark and unsurprisingly, with all the feed marks, there were Coalie’s on the hunt!
Simon was clipping them regularly with the Slow Pitch Jig, but they also came to the squid and Mackerel bait traces as well. The average size was in the 2-3lb range, which isn’t the norm for round here (we usually get a smaller stamp); but was good to see nonetheless.
Once the Flood Tide came through the drift picked up and finished the day with a few fish off a final wreck and then the last hour on some rough ground. The day wasn’t a disaster by any stretch, but I’ll be honest….I’d hoped for better. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Rich Ward

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Rob Newcombe and his mates Jimmy, Rob, Shaun and Dave from Nottingham chartered the boat yesterday on their first trip out of Whitby this year.
We played around on a couple of bit of scrap to start the day for a meagre picking of small chuck back fish.
I move the boat out to a few ground marks next and the lads started picking away at the fish there.
Just one or two some drifts and an odd drift with a few more.
Baited rigs were the order of the day again with thin strips of squid on the Hokkai traces doing the best.
The bigger fish were elusive for the lads but at the end of the day they were all very pleased with their tally of 50 fish to keep, along with the juvenile throw backs.
A nice range of species too with Codling, Ling, Haddock, Whiting, Pouting and Wrasse.
A very enjoyable and chilled day on the water with five great blokes.
See you on your next one lads,
Cheers
Rich.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Alex Choy and his mates joined us yesterday for their third trip of the year.
The group love to fish the “Wall” if the weather allows it, as they love to target the Norwegian Haddock (Acadian Redfish) on the light tackle.
Luckily for them, the weather fell in their favour so we gave it another go.
Plenty of them for the lads!!
Fergus reckoning on 40+, plus other small bits and bobs.
Leo who fishes with the group was telling me that this particular fish is so expensive in Hong Kong.
Around £30.00 per kilo!!
We never saw a fish above 4lb but still a fun filled day for Alex and the boys with good Chinese banter all day!
Cheers
Rich.
