Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
17 Jun 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Another really enjoyable day out on Sea Urchin today. The tides are still around 5m so it would be another mixed days fishing of ground and wrecks. I was a little wary of what the weather would be like, as the forecast gave 11-13mph SW winds, which could potentially cause us some problems.
We did the Mackerel bash in about 15 minutes today, it was string after string, then we dropped onto the rough ground at three miles to see how that looked.
Just as we arrived a weather front pushed through and a stiff breeze had us flying along for half an hour with the lines streaming back. Despite that, we still managed to find a few fish. Marek Kawka having the biggest with a 7lb Ling on a speed jig. The wind dropped away and we spent the next hour running different lines and a mixture of Codling, Haddock and Ling came up to mainly baited Hokkai’s.
As the action slowed we ran out to the five mile ground, to hopefully have a go on a wreck or two as the tide eased. Wrong!! Another squall pushed through and the lines streamed again. The three drifts we did produced very little, so with the wind still blowing I took us out another couple of miles, resigned to not getting on a wreck. As we arrived, typically the wind dropped away, so we cracked on to a wreck a couple of miles away.
It was literally slack water when we arrived and thankfully we found a few fish of a better size. Dave Worsfold had the biggest Cod of the day with a plump 8lb 8oz fish. Charlie Hewitt took a Ling of a similar size and there were quite a few 3-4lb Codling which are ideal for the table. Once the Ebb Tide got away, we had an hour on the nine mile ground for some small Haddock and Codling, then ran back into the seven mile ground to finish.
We had a decent drift line and pleasingly had a really good last half hour, with some nice size Codling coming up. Charlie Hewitt definitely deserves a mention as he spent almost all day fishing the Shads and along with catching consistently, he took a lovely brace of five pound Codling to end with. Top angling Charlie.
Thanks to everyone for being such great company, I really enjoyed having you all aboard

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
15 Jun 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Weekend catch report aboard Sea Urchin……
We’ve got Spring tides at the moment with both days having just over 5m tides. This would mean that the majority of the days would be spent drifting rough ground and then maybe a chance at a wreck or two at slack water.
Saturday saw Aidy Broddle and a group of mates book the boat. We headed out to try and get a few Mackerel for bait, but failed miserably, with only half a dozen caught. We had plenty of Squid, so it wasn’t an issue.
Starting off on the five mile ground, we picked up a few small fish, then moved to a nearby wreck as the Flood Tide eased. The wrecks were covered in feed and we only managed a handful of fish off the three we tried. Kev Cook taking the biggest with a Ling just over 9lb.
Once the Ebb came through, we ran out to the seven mile ground and there were a fair few fish about to keep the rods going. We had a good drift line allowing us to run along one of the ridges perfectly and we caught a mix of mainly Haddock and Codling. The stamp of Haddock wasn’t bad at all, but the lads sportingly put them all back. Everyone was in great spirits all day, and although the fishing wasn’t amazing, it was a day spent in great company. Look forward to seeing you again next year lads.
Today saw much more challenging weather conditions. The fresh Westerly winds made the first three hours a bit sloppy. We tried for a few Mackerel again and after the first area was devoid, we had a short move and thankfully everyone caught plenty. With the winds making the lines stream, the wrecks were never an option today. Once the drift slowed at slack water (the lines were still streaming, so you can’t fish wrecks properly), we tried a couple of prominent features on the rough ground.
As the Ebb tide got away we had a nice spell picking up a few better Ling in the 5-6lb range and Adrian took the biggest of the day at 9lb 12oz. We kept on the move for the rest of the day, with a move out to nine miles being a bit slow, we dropped back into seven to end with a couple of better sized Codling.
As expected, it wasn’t easy today, but despite the conditions, we still managed to find a few. Thanks lads. View Boats Page

We had a lovely trip of mixed fishing the other day. The smooth-hounds kept us busy throughout the day with a few to low doubles. There were some whiting and dogfish too, one or two small tope and a run of sizeable bass to end the day. We finished the day with 50+ hounds and kept 4 of the bass for the table. Sorry for the lack of pictures but I was a busy boy so thankfully Blake sent me these.
I have spaces this Wednesday for tope and bass then my next availability is the following week.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a couple of weeks holiday and poor ish weather, getting back to sea yesterday after nearly a month was a great feeling!
We had a group of 7 lads chartering the boat for the day. Ford from Patrington near Hull and his mates from Batley. They were staying in town the day/night before.
6 of the group were relatively new to the game and required our full assistance at the start, but soon got into the swing of things and were showing decent signs as was the fishing.
Sadly, one by one, the younger ones in the group started flayling and the old mal/de-mere kicked in. A big drinking session the day before and no sleep being the main contributor for it!!
The rest of the lads carrying on with the fishing were doing ok on the Cod and gathered around 30 fish between them before lunchtime. Fish to around 7lb and a couple of double hook ups too.
A few Mackerel showing up for them too was a bonus.
When the Southerly breeze pepped up we were drifting at nearly 2 knots and the organiser Ford decided to play the nice card for the poorly ones and called the day just after 12pm.
A nice few fillets each for the lads and all in all a nice day (morning) out.
Cheers lads and see you all again.
Rich.

Report on-board Better Days
The season has kicked off well with a large number of our trips being all about the bass fishing! Some of our better tides have produced bass limits for everyone on the boat with bass up to 8lb so far this season. Large schools are present on some trips making some good fun on the lures and feathers! Hound fishing has picked up as well with plenty of female hounds still being caught inshore in good numbers up to 15lb. We haven’t been targeting the rays as much this season but we’ve caught plenty as bycatch over slack water on fish fish baits or squid intended for a SmoothHound!
