Fishing Report by Andy Savage

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
A day out on the Spring Tides today with a fantastic group of lads.
As reported previously, we’ve struggled to find any bigger fish on the areas of rough ground around Whitby in recent trips. To be fair, today was no different…..The bigger Spring Tides find us fishing the rough ground for the majority of the day because the boat drifts too fast to catch off the wrecks.
Today we ran out and dropped straight on an inshore wreck as the tide was fairly slack. We got 2-3 Codling for a few drifts, but then the Ebb Tide pushed through and made the drift too fast to continue. Muppet bait traces, baited with a whole Squid accounted for all the fish, and pleasingly, the lads using my hire tackle, got to grips with things quickly and got off the mark.
Once the tide was away, we ran out to the seven mile ground first, for a handful of small Codling and Haddock; then went out another couple of miles to lose as much tide as possible. The sport was patchy, but we did find one consistent area that fished ok for an hour. Plenty of bites from small Codling and Haddock kept things ticking over.
Just after dinner we committed and ran back inside to catch the second slack water. We fished four wrecks during the last two hours. Three of them were pretty rubbish, but the last one saved the day, giving a few fish a drift. Some nice Codling, with the biggest of 7lb falling to Peter Koska.
A big thank you to everyone for coming today. Everyone got a few to take home, with the exception of Gordon Carter, who was on his first trip on Sea Urchin. Seasoned angler Gordon explained that he has had “new boat” bad luck before…..unfortunately he drew a blank today, but was excellent company nonetheless. Revenge is sweet Gordon..unfinished business.View Boats Page
