Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
2 Mar 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Two day report aboard Sea Urchin. It’s been a weekend of two halves…..
Saturday saw a lovely mixed group of anglers aboard. After a reasonable day on Friday, I pointed Sea Urchin south and ran back to the same area to see if the fish would oblige us again. With light SW winds, the conditions were lovely and the lads got stuck in with the usual baits of Squid, Black Lug and Crab Cart as the Ebb Tide was just nicely away. Barry Allcock had two Codling up before I’d even explained how to bait and cast to the anglers on hire tackle, which gave me some optimism for the day.
Unfortunately, that was fairly short lived as after half a dozen fish, the action dried up. I nudged us further south to find a little more tide and we had a few more small Codling, but there were no flushes of fish moving through. Unfortunately, this was the pattern for the rest of the Ebb. Catch a few after a move and then sport dried up. I hoped the Flood tide might be better, but sadly, that was even worse. With the big Spring running through, we never even put up a fish for the last couple of hours. Everyone kept at it, but it wasn’t the day I hoped to deliver.
Today was a similar day as Saturday…except that today the fish were feeding and bites were consistent throughout. We headed back to the same area that I favour at this time of year and Tony Firman had fish straight away whilst I got the six lads on hire tackle going. Colin Frankland and five friends had good bait, listened to the advice offered and caught steadily all day. There was always a rod top nodding somewhere on the boat and Codling came up regularly.
Squid and Black Lug, Cart, Live Worm all did fish today. Nothing was a standout bait, as everything got a response. Tony Firman took the biggest at just over 6lb, which was a nice clean fish.
Massive thanks to everyone for coming, you were excellent company. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
1 Mar 2025 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Great to get back on the water yesterday after a couple of weeks off with the boat out of the water for maintenance and an intermediate survey.
Boat all good.
Tides are running big on the high Springs at present so Uptide/Downtide fishing was the call.
We had just the four lads on board for yesterday’s trip so plenty of room for everyone.
We punched the start of the ebb tide to start the day off and dropped in just two miles from the harbour mouth.
The fish were a tad reluctant throughout the ebb flow but we picked away at them until slack water.
The lads taking around twenty fish between them.
Chatting to a mate of mine on his boat who was fishing the North side of us who said his morning was slower than ours, we decided to sit it out across slack in the hope they came back on the feed on the flood.
They didn’t really and the lads probably only took another half a dozen to keep.
All in all though, a beautiful day on the water with calm conditions and cracking sunshine.
Cheers lads and we’ll see you again soon.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
28 Feb 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
A sharp overnight frost had me scraping the windows on Sea Urchin this morning, but thankfully it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day spent with a fantastic bunch of lads.
We’re back in big Spring Tide phase at the moment and today saw a 5.5m which was Ebbing nicely as we left the harbour. I chose to push tide and run South down towards Robin Hoods Bay as I always feel at this time of year there’s a chance of a better fish that way.
After a 30 minute steam, we had the anchor down and the lads got organised; fishing with a mixture of Dirty Squid, Black Lugworm and Crab Cart. It didn’t take too long before the rod tips started twitching and a few small Codling started to come up. There were quite a few tentative rattles which didn’t develop and sure enough Lobsters were the likely culprits as a couple were caught amongst the Codling. After a steady hour we chose to have a move a bit further down, to find a touch more tide.
We had similar results here as well, with fairly regular bites around the boat. Whilst the sport wasn’t frantic, it was much better than the last couple of Uptiding trips, with everyone getting in on the sport. Surprisingly, slack water even did a few fish today. As the first sniff of the Flood tide came through we repositioned the boat to make sure the anchor didn’t get jammed. As soon as we got going the bites started up again.
In all honesty, the consistency of the bites around the boat exceeded my expectations. Some of the lads had quiet spells during the day, but from a Skippers perspective, there was always something happening somewhere.
The average stamp of Codling wasn’t exceptional, with Ian Kellock taking the biggest one at 5lb 8oz amongst the dozen fish he caught. Everyone came armed with good bait today; which is essential. Overall, Crab Cart was the most effective, but Squid & Blacks received more attention on the Ebb. We had four moves during the day and caught at all four, I was happy with that. The chat and laughs amongst the anglers was brilliant and the day flew by for me. Hopefully tomorrow will yield similar results for us.
Thanks lads, you were brilliant company. View Boats Page

Catch report Eastbourne
Kestrel warrior fishing trips
So we are now starting to see some plaice. After fishing Newhaven for 3 years. It's a bit of a shock to the system to be back at Eastbourne. But I know it will pay to fish in the better location.
So today saw my regular individuals aboard to go plaice fishing. I'm a bit disappointed in the size of plaice but it's early in the season and plenty of time to catch more . So all the fish were caught on ebbing tide and fell to the usual suspects worm on Spoon's. We managed 30 fish. So not the best of trips but it's a start. Along with a rouge thornback that shocked me. A bit of a different method at Eastbourne. I usually fish for them on the drift but this mark fishes better at anchor. ⚓ Don't ask me why but it just dose. Most fish fell to baits being twitched back towards the boat. That had been cast uptide then left to roll to the back of the boat before being slowly twitched back.
Next booking available is the 26th of February for plaice

Report on-board Mistress
With a small window in the weather we sailed this weekend (saturday).
Having spoken with another skipper, the day previous had been hard work so I chose to push tide and fish a bit further afield, in a bid to find my guys a few fish!
We worked a few marks through the morning taking a few fish here and there, yes it was a slow start, but we managed around a dozen keepers through the ebb tide with a few chuck backs and the usual pout and dogs.
I used the last of the tide to run a bit closer to home, and to set up In a different area I like on the flood.
It was a smart move as we had a pretty good afternoon finishing on a high note, we'd a few more chuck back codlings and a good few more keepers, finishing with around 25 keepers (40cm plus) for the day with the best fish only around 4lb.
The crack was brilliant all day with everyone and it was great to catch up with my regulars and meet a few new faces too.
I have availability calendar up to date for the year with plenty of spaces, if you fancy a trip with me please give me a on 07977 436903, if yiu can't get hold of me drop me a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
