Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)
2 Jun 2025 by Nick Gough
Report on-board Skylark
Another great 8 hour trip today
Fishing started off slow for the first few drifts then slowly picked up as the day went on.
A good stamp of clean cod caught today
With a few ling, Pollock, pouting, a Ballen wrasse, mackerel and even a lonely haddock.
Everybody caught a cod to keep which seams to be the norm this week and all the anglers had plenty of fillets to take home
One of our regulars Lorance seemed to be on fire today catching nearly every drift and ended up with a nice tub a Cod.
Dirty squid baited hooks seemed to be the preferred method today.
Shads we're working today but we're catching the odd ling and getting ripped to shreds in the process. View Boats Page

Report on-board Kerrykim
Hi
We got out yesterday in breezy South Westerly conditions which are ok for us as we can use the cliffs for shelter and have a comfortable fishing trip.
We had loads of mackerel, Whiting, Dogs, Huss , Gurnard and Pollock on the inshore reefs.
We got out a bit in the afternoon and landed a couple of nice Tope, the biggest just short of 50lb.
Weather will settle down shortly with any luck.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
2 Jun 2025 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
I thought it was probably about time to put out my annual spurdog report. As many of my regulars know by now, I like to keep some of this stuff under my hat for various reasons.
In reality at times it would be better to put these up as we're catching them but It's not going to happen so if you want to join us you'll have to get booked in and take your chance with the rest of them next year.
Our season started better than last year but after that it was hard to get enough trips in to have a good look around offshore and locate these fish. There's no other boat in the area willing to put in the time, effort and miles that we do so it can be hard to locate them at times. Eventually the mother load of fish turned up (along with everything else). When there's that many fish offshore then a certain amount will overspill to the inshore grounds too occasionally. We had some mixed in inshore as well which is always nice to see.
I noticed lots of other boats happened upon a few too. One or two seemed to dine out on a hand full of fish lucked out over one or two days which was cute.
We had a several hard days and lots of successful days on spurs over the course of 6 months. Dad always said it's harder when targeting one specific species on a trip as you might have a good trip for other stuff and miss the target species which still feels disappointing. However it does feel great when we do find them by design and put the lads on some special fishing.
Our best day was truly remarkable. The weather was perfect and the fishing was chaotic to say the least. The lads were on multiple hook ups throughout most of the day as packs of spurs and hounds came through. There were loads of double figure fish and PBs for most anglers. Admittedly it was hard to keep an accurate tall but we finished with 82 spurs and 54 hounds. We also had 8 rays, loads of dogfish and a few whiting. There were some serious amounts of fish there that day and hopefully it's one we will all remember. Not quite matching our biggest ever day of 88 but getting close.
We had lots of other days with great numbers and double figure fish. On a quieter day I even managed to sneak out a double shot of small ones.
Although we experienced some great fishing I am a bit concerned that the general stamp seems to have dropped significantly and some areas just aren't producing at all. Hopefully it's just a lul and not due to commercial pressure since the reintroduction of commercial quota for spurs. Only time will tell.
For now, with our spur season wrapped up we will be targeting big tope as well as turning our attention to the offshore bass fishing as it improves. I have a few spaces left for tope and loads of availability for bass between now and December. We target them in various areas from shallow banks to deep water. On lures, static baits and live baits. Please get in touch if you fancy in offshore trip or even a general trip.

Report on-board Skylark
Back out today for a 8hr trip
Two days are never the same but we did still find a good amount of fish overall.
Winds today were a lot stronger up to 25kts at times from the south not really picking the sea up but definitely increasing the drift speed.
Like every other trip this week everyone caught a few Cod to keep which for quite a few anglers was their first time.
Best anglers today were all the younger anglers who just seemed to find a better size fish every time and made sure they made that known. The friendly banter today was brilliant.
Heaviest fish today was a cod weighing just under 6lb
Plenty of species caught today from Cod, Pollock, ling, whiting, coalfish, ballen wrasse, dogfish, and even a lonely dab.
Overall a brilliant day to be at sea as always View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
31 May 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The last week aboard Sea Urchin has been primarily aimed at repainting the deck….
The preparation took far longer than I estimated, with the surface needing taking back to the original fibreglass before applying the new Flow Coat.
I got there in the end, but must say a big thanks to Dave Jenkins (Sea Spray Skipper), who gave me a lift with the sanding and my old mate Ian Kellock who measured out the Flow Coat mixes for me to paint. It really is appreciated lads.
Today we got a break in the weather and managed to have a run out. It was a 5.2m Spring tide which would mean a day spent on both wrecks and rough ground. With a group of experienced anglers aboard we planned to start on a patch of rough ground three miles out and then drop onto a couple of wrecks as soon as the tide allowed.
There appears to be a few more Mackerel kicking about now, as a couple of lads went in with feathers whilst most went with bait. After only a few minutes, strings of Mackerel started coming, so everyone had a go to gather a bit of fresh bait to compliment the Dirty Squid.With slack water being around 1030hrs we spent half an hour drifting some ridges and gullies, but the lines weren’t streaming away like I thought they might. That was good enough for me, so I moved to take us to a nearby wreck for a few drifts.
Everyone went down with either baited Hokkai’s or Muppet traces and thankfully there were a few fish at home. We spent the next ninety minutes or so picking up a few fish each drift. Codling were the mainstay with most in the 2-3lb range; a few around 4lb and Jeff Turner took the biggest at a very honest 9lb 12oz along with his first Octopus.
At slack water, a few strap Ling made an appearance along with the usual Pouting and once the Ebb tide got away we pushed out to the 5, 7 & 9 mile ground for the rest of the day. The rough ground didn’t fish anywhere as near as good as the two wrecks we tried. The five mile yielded mainly Haddock and Whiting with a couple of Codling, so we moved out to seven miles. We hit pockets of fish there and had a couple of occasions where five rods went in at once with nice sized Ling and Cod. I gambled with a move out to nine miles, which wasn’t good at all and sadly sport tailed off to end the day.
The weather wasn't bad at all. The company was excellent as always and everyone got a few to take home.
Thanks to everyone for coming along View Boats Page
