Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
11 Feb 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today we went out and got absolutely “anchored”……
A lovely bunch of lads and lady on board. Using the tide we ran down to Robin Hoods Bay for the last remnants of the flood. After half an hour and only a couple of small fish to show for our efforts, the tide began to fall away.
As planned, we took the opportunity to run across the bay and onto the next section of really rough ground. We hadn’t fished here for a few weeks, so we didn’t know what to expect. It took another half an hour before the Ebb tide was strong enough to beat the freshening WNW wind and get the boat steady. At this point the bites started to come properly and the average stamp of Codling was much better in this area than the last few trips, when we’ve run north. Jeff Turner took a nice Codling just over 6lb and Dave Fowls started filling his box rapidly with fish to 5lb. Everyone got off the mark with a fish or two in the box.
Once it went a bit quiet, we took the chance to have a short move and that’s when it went a bit “pear-shaped”. The chain on the anchor had become trapped and despite a lot of cursing and trying all the angles, I simply couldn’t free it. While I worked on a Plan B, I let the boat out on a long anchor line to cover a different area. This went well and the rods were once again nodding. Fish were falling regularly to the ever faithful Squid and Black Lug.
We stuck at it for the remainder of the Ebb picking a few fish away as the flushes of Codling moved through. Once the wind and tide dropped, we had to bite the bullet and break out the anchor. Shaun who skippers “Alliance” was nearby and kindly tied it off his very sturdy boat and in the end the shackle thankfully broke off. We lost the anchor and chain, so had to deploy the reserve.
With a great display of angling, Dave Fowls was top rod today taking a 16 fish bag, plus throwbacks. It was a tough day at the office for me, and not one I hope repeat any time soon. A massive thanks Shaun on Alliance for helping to break the anchor rode and to a very patient group of anglers while we did it. Onwards and upwards View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We sailed yesterday with just my eldest lad Adam and my good mate Simon England.
A bit of an Uptiding jolly really.
We worked a couple of spots North side of the harbour to use the best of the ebb tide.
First stop producing around 10 Codling.
We then steamed another couple of miles up the coast to one of my favourite haunts and the day finished”ok” with around 25 Codling in total for the boys. Simon taking a dozen for himself.
Not a bigger fish to be seen anywhere for us at the moment but some nice ”chip shop” size fillets for the bags.
A short break for us now until the next set of decent Uptiding tides start on Monday 20th February.
I will sail with just 3 anglers for the Uptiding sessions where full guidance and tuition is free if needed, as is the tea/coffee!
Cheers for now,

Report on-board Galloper
It has been a very busy week with some cracking weather and getting the Galloper back in the water. there are early signs of spring everywhere as the daffodils poke their heads up which usually means the spring run of thorn-backs isn't far away. last trip we had a few rays and expect their numbers to increase over the coming weeks as well as hoping for a little showing of codling too.
the phone is ringing a bit more with every week that passes so please get in touch if you require specific dates for later in the year. The forecast looks good for a little while yet so don’t miss out. I have a few spaces in the next week aboard Galloper. I will try and find time to give you something more to read next week.
Remember it is often worth giving me a shout if you are cancelled else where and still wish to get out, as we have lots of sheltered fishing available and a big catamaran which makes it even more comfortable.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
8 Feb 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
As "The Clash" once sang......."Should I stay or should I go now".......that was the dilemma we were faced with last night looking at the weather forecast.
I gave the lads (all very experienced anglers) the option and they were all keen to get out; even if the forecasted, building winds meant we had to cut the day a bit short. We followed a similar pattern as yesterday, running North whilst watching a stunning sunrise in flat clam conditions.
First stop, we waited for the Ebb tide to get going. Pleasingly, a few Codling were knocking around and the four lads on board all got themselves off the mark in fairly short order. Chris "Office Waller" Wells picked up a nice Codling of 5lb, but the average size were more in the 2-3lb range. A couple of Lobsters also decided to jump on the Squid hookbaits!
The wind started to freshen after a couple of hours, but bites kept coming from the Codling and the boat held steady in the tide. Dave Sharp had a couple of surprises in store. Firstly, he managed to catch himself a Sea Urchin.......fishing on Sea Urchin! Secondly he caught a Codling which when he gutted it, had a chicken bone in its stomach. It was from the same area we fished yesterday when Tony Barret had dropped two chicken bones in the water after he'd eaten his dinner. Cod are voracious feeders when they're hungry!!
The rest of the day pased by quickly with a couple of better Codling falling to Dave Sharp and Jim Bailey amongst the smaller stamp for the rest of us. The wind fell away on the turn of tide (in complete contrast to the weather forecast) so the afternoon was spent in glorious weather.
Not for lack of trying....but there doesn't seem to be many better sized fish around at the moment. The last three days we've topped out at 5lb, but hopefully some bigger fish will push through soon enough. We'll certainly keep on trying. Thanks again lads for an enjoyable day out. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
8 Feb 2023 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
As spring approaches the inshore winter species are starting to thin out with plenty of small to medium whiting, smaller eels dogs etc this is the time of year we look to fishing further offshore looking for as my anglers refer to it as ‘fishing for things with teeth’ target Spurdogs, Tope, Congers, Blonde Rays . During these trips it is not uncommon for a Porbeagle to circle the boat and often nudging the hooked fish. Today due to big tides and thick fog we fished inshore and had lots of Whiting as the sun burnt the freezing food off and the tide eased we moved out catching more whiting as the tide turned we decided to go drifting for Plaice and as fortune had it we were successful with several coming aboard and in surprisingly good condition with the best falling to Paul.

Report on-board Mistress
Its been a while since we popped a report up due to other commitments.
But we'll be resuming charters again from next month.
We've just fitted a new engine which is giving us a good bit more speed, yesterday we had the boat out for a run with a few friends, we fished inshore at anchor and fished into darkness.
We took a steady stream of fish for the few hours we were off, biggest went around 5lb and my pal got the best bag of fish with 11 to keep, we threw a good number back too. All fish were caught on squid, black lug and squid.
Signs are looking good moving forward.
If you fancy a trip with us give me a shout on 07977 436 903, if you cant get through, drop me a text or whatsapp, and I'll get back to you asap.
