Fishing Report by Rich Cope

Report on-board Mistress
Sat 28th, the last days fishing of the year for us on the Mistress.the tides weren't fantastic but it was the only gap in the weather i could see for while, the winds blown strong ever since.
I really fancied getting out as I've been couped with a bad knee since before Christmas, a couple of my regulars managed to jump aboard with me for the day at late notice.
Tbh we had a fairly slow start to the day with only bits and bobs coming aboard from various marks. I made a move for the last few hours and the rods never stopped nodding,
We ended the day with us all boating 10+ codlings each but only kept the better ones. I was absolutely plagued by pouting too which got me a ribbing from the rest of the lads.
Martin managed a baby bullhuss which was a nice surprise too.
Usual baits of black lug, dirty squid and cart too the fish.
Well guys that concludes 2024, thank you all again for your continued support, I look forward to seeing you in 2025!

2024
ROUND UP
It's been a busy year for Odyssey Sea Adventures. We’ve had some great captures, contributions to science swabbing and tagging programs, a new skipper, a new boat and a PB for me!
The fishing in West Wales still never fails to amaze. The reefs offer an abundance of fish of many different species. Some superb pollack fishing was had from March-November, with excellent numbers of fish up to double figures including a bonus tope on SPJ gear! I got in on the action, finally catching my reef nemesis, a beautifully coloured cuckoo wrasse.
With a keen interest in marine life, this year, it was a privilege to spend time with likeminded people in the shark science world. We took more than 30 DNA samples and tagged over 150 blues for Pat Smith and NOAA. The highlight for me had to be the multiple 200lb+ blues caught over the course of the season. We even had tuna deciding to join in on the sharking action so coercing them to the boat on light sharking gear was great fun.
The later half of the year proved to us that the numbers of tuna in the waters of the Celtic Deep has increased so the chance of Tuna, Blues and Porbeagles on the same day is possible. The best of the year was circa 800lb and another 5 over the 500lb mark. To hook up these monsters both on dedicated tuna trips and on our mixed trips. It provides further evidence just how world class the fishing is off the west coast of Wales.
On a personal level, the most exciting part was to see Emma complete the qualifications for her commercial endorsement. I'm super proud to see her on the helm, running trips on Odyssey single handed as well leading the charge on our new addition, Ocean Odyssey with me as crew for shark trips. It can be a male dominated profession but that hasn’t stopped her in the slightest! It also allows me more chances to get few trips on the SPJ gear too!
As we look forward to 2025, we hope for more of the same with a few extras! We will continue to offer a wider range of trips with a greater number of available dates, including some dedicated wildlife trips to make the most of our amazing encounters with whales, dolphins, gannets, porpoises, puffins, the list is long! We will continue to support the scientific community with more tagging and swabbing of sharks where possible.
Overall, we are looking forward to getting back out on the water and making memories with all our customers!View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
27 Dec 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It was great to work off a bit of excess Turkey and Christmas Pud today with an offshore wrecking trip, with a great bunch of lads.
With the weather conditions looking settled, we chose to run off to try a couple of wrecks around the 20 mile stream. At this time of year, the inshore wrecks seem to yield very little, so it’s sometimes beneficial to run out a bit further where the water is perhaps a bit clearer. Using the Ebb Tide, we headed north for a couple of hours to fish a wreck which had been left alone for a couple of months, arriving with an hour or so to go before slack water. The lads went over with mainly Squid baited muppet traces or Hokkai’s and 12oz leads.
First drift over we managed three Codling, so thankfully there were a few at home. The lads fished steady away taking fish every drift right up through slack water and into the flood tide. Codling were the main species landed with a couple of fish around 7lb being the biggest, but not a bad average stamp overall. We also had a trio of Ling, a stray Pollock and a handful of Haddock, Whiting and Pouting.
Once the Flood tide got going and a seal arrived, sport slowed up, so we moved on to the next wreck. Disappointingly, this wreck didn’t have the same volume of feeding fish on it, with just one or two fish a drift of a much smaller stamp. With an hours fishing time left, I made the decision to try one more wreck on the way back to Whitby. This wreck was situated much closer to land at around nine miles, so I was unsure what we would find. As it turned out, we found practically nothing and would have been better off not moving. One Codling around 4lb and a couple of Pouting made it a bit of a damp squib to finish the day, but the boys aboard made it a very enjoyable one.
Mike Griffiths had booked on with three of his mates and my highlight of the day was seeing all four of them into fish at the same time. They fished well today and all had a fair few to take home. A couple of the other boys didn’t fare quite so well, but that’s fishing for you.
Thanks for coming today lads, you were all fantastic company.View Boats Page

It looks like we could have a weather window after Christmas so I'm arranging a couple of trips. Hopefully we can get offshore for the chance of some mixed fishing one day and find some fish closer to home on another more relaxing day. I have availability for full boat bookings if anyone wants exclusive hire for fishing trips or even just if you want a boat ride with the family for a few hours.
The weather has stopped our last few trips but before that there were loads of fish showing from the last of the bass and hounds through to whiting, dogfish, rays and even conger.
Have a lovely Christmas and hopefully I'll see some of you on the other side.
