Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Sorry I haven’t posted much in the last week or so.
Prior to the last trip out last Monday, the previous couple of trips out have been a bit slow with a relatively poor catch rate.
Last Monday was our last run off before our lass and me came away for a short break.
The day fished slowly to start with but after a move to a little wreck 12 miles North, we managed a nice few fish to save the day.
Nothing flash to report size wise but enough fish boated to keep young Fergus busy filleting for the lads all the way home!
A gorgeous day weather wise too with some lovely warm October sunshine.
Cheers and see you all after we get back.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
12 Oct 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The weather forecast for today, had looked ok for a few days and pleasingly that turned out to be the case. A group of mixed experiences on board today, from brand new, to “Salty Sea-Dog” and all points in between.
With the tides back over 5m it was always going to be a mixed day of wrecks and rough ground. To start with, we clonked a load of fresh Mackerel to accompany the Squid the lads brought for bait. With seven hire rods aboard, we kept everything very standard, which is essential to help reduce tangles. Muppet bait traces with Squid and/or Mackerel and 16oz leads to combat the wind and tide. With there being a chance of a few better sized fish about, we left the Hokkai’s (which also cause more tangles) in the bag.
To start the day, we ran out to the five mile ground for a few drifts. Everyone had got into the routine of controlling the tackle and it wasn’t long before a few fish started to come aboard. We had a mix of Codling, Ling, Haddock and a few Whiting. We had started at the South end of the ground, but the bites became less frequent, the further North we pushed.
I ran us back to the southern end and we had a decent hour. Everyone got off the mark and Adam Maguire started to put together a nice box of fish. Daron Grant took the biggest fish of the morning, a nice 10lb 12oz Ling.
We opted to run out to the nine mile stream for slack water and have a go on a wreck. For a few of the lads it was their first time on a wreck and I thought they did well. The wreck wasn’t too bad, giving a few Codling and Ling. Just as the first sniff of the Flood Tide came through Daron struck again. This time he had a nice plump Cod of 10lb 12oz, which was great to see.
The remainder of the day was spent on rough ground, picking odd fish here and there. A revisit to the five mile ground and the last drift of the day gave Andy Cooper a nice 11lb 4oz Ling to finish with.
A very enjoyable day for me, it was great seeing the lads who haven’t done it before getting a few fish. Thanks everyone, see you next time. View Boats Page

The general fishing has become very autumnal in recent weeks as expected. There are hoards of whiting queuing up for our baits along with the sought after dogfish. It really is a bite a cast with a few rays, hounds, bass, dabs, pouting ect showing in between. I haven't spent much time inshore but I have heard of one or two codling starting to show. Looking forward to trying for them this week. I have a few spaces this Saturday inshore then next week offshore.

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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today was one of my own fishing days with five friends aboard. Having looked at the forecast, we decided to have a bit of a later start, as there looked to be a fresh breeze against tide first thing.
We all met at 0900hrs and were away shortly after to look for some fresh Mackerel. Unfortunately that didn’t go so well, with us only picking up a handful between us. Everyone had squid to use as well, so we dropped onto the first wreck of the day. I wasn’t too optimistic as the water looked quite green and with nothing much doing after twenty minutes or so, I moved us further out to a wreck in the five mile stream.
Water clarity looked a bit better and we spent the next hour taking two or three fish a drift. Nothing massive; Dave Sharp taking a Ling around 9lb as the biggest. With everyone off the mark, we fished two more wrecks as the tide ran into slack water. The sport was steady, but not amazing.
With having experienced anglers aboard, all the different tactics were tried. On the third wreck, we found the Shads worked well, with a number of nice Codling up to five pound falling prey. Although Tony Firman got a surprise when his Shad was snaffled up by a Squid!!
As is usual, the Muppet bait traces loaded with either Mackerel or Squid provided some nice fish around slack water. Simon West caught consistently and then he got “rumbled” when we noticed he was slipping a Black Lugworm on as well as the usual baits!! Unfortunately he didn’t mange to land the seal which he played for fifteen minutes, while we ripped into him….
It was a really, really enjoyable day and my own fishing days are something which I cherish. The banter was brutal, but hilarious in equal measure.
Thanks for a brilliant day out lads, I needed that. View Boats Page

on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After another weeks lay-off with poor weather and big Spring Tides, we took the chance to have a run out today.
I had a mixed group of anglers on, who were all fantastic company and I immediately knew we’d be ok. We ran out to the 3 mile ground to gather up some fresh Mackerel for the day. It took a bit longer than I would have liked, but we got what we needed in the end. With a 5m tide, I knew we wouldn’t be able to spend the day on the wrecks, so we started off drifting some lines on the rough ground.
It wasn’t sensational, but we picked up 3-4 Codling and Ling every drift, so stuck with it. The lads fished with either baited Hokkai’s or a Muppet Bait Trace (as is standard). We did note that the Hokkai’s were being out-fished so everyone went over to fishing a bit bigger bait. Whole Mackerel Fillet being the choice of most. The wind lifted on the run into slack, so we moved closer inshore. With the lines streaming, I (wrongly, as it turned out) took the decision to move closer in to get some shelter off the land. No sooner than we got in, the wind fell away again. We had three drifts for nothing, so we had to move.
The tide was slack, so we dropped on a couple of wrecks. An odd fish came up, but it wasn’t what we were looking for. Michael Adams was aboard for his first trip in many years and chose to use my hire tackle. Just as we drifted off a wreck, his rod went over and I worked out by the steaming run, that he must be into a Tope. He played it like a star and after five minutes or so, we netted a beautiful Tope of at least 40lb. Definitely the highlight of the day. It took a Mackerel Fillet on a regular bait trace that I tie up. It was a close run thing as the line was very badly chafed and once unhooked I could break the doubled-up 100lb line with my hands!
We finished the day off on the rough ground and it wasn’t too bad on the Ebb. Everyone got a few to take home, our biggest Ling was around 6lb and Codling to 4lb. It wasn’t a prolific day by any measure, but the company aboard made it very enjoyable. Thanks everyone. View Boats Page

There is some nice mixed fishing around at the moment. Steve's group had a busy day on Sunday with over 20 smoothhounds, 15-20 bass, dogfish, whiting, a dab and lost a ray. There are better numbers of rays in places too and although the stamp isn't as good as other times of year there's still plenty to keep us busy when we aren't offshore.
