A slowish picking for yesterday’s lads.
View Boats Page
A breezy sort of morning hindering the angling somewhat, however the lads did pick fish up everywhere we went but just not that many!
A great crack on board all day long made the day fly by!
James Webster taking the best bag with 8 fish for himself.
No big fish landed at all on this trip.
Cheers for now,

So last trip we went on didn't quite go to plan. We started off on a high. Going out to sea it was like glass seeing all the boats out at sea we knew it would be a good day. Once at the mark we caught some bait and the decided to drop the anker. when we started off we caught many different types of fish started off with plaice dabs mackerel pout gurnard dogs smoothies and ells once the tide turned we started to catch rays with some big ones being landed. Then the wind picked up and we lost a crew member to sea sickness so we tried to go in close but it made no difference so I called the boat trip early and headed to the marina so they could recover.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
A slightly delayed catch report covering two days. The long hours this week caught up with me and I needed an early night!!
View Boats Page
Thursday and Friday were full boat bookings for two groups of friends, which are days that I really enjoy. The weather this week has generally seen very light winds in the morning and then a bit of SE breeze coming in the afternoons, making the fishing more difficult. For that reason we left early, to make the most of the better fishing conditions.
On Thursday we headed south to do some inshore wreck hopping. The first couple of wrecks gave us a few fish, to get everyone off the mark. With plenty of choice, I picked the ones which matched our drift, to increase our length of time spent on the wreck. It became apparent that the further south we moved the greener the water looked and bites became harder to come by.
We made the decision to run back up above Whitby, where the water proved to be far clearer. Bait traces, shads and even John-Will’s Christmas decoration (see picture) caught fish. Top rod by some margin was Norman Taylor, who literally had a fish a drift all day long and fished outstandingly. His concentration when drifting through the wreck is always great to watch.
On Friday we planned to repeat the inshore wreck hopping, but use the wrecks above Whitby where the water clarity was better. During the Ebb tide in the morning, the fishing wasn’t spectacular, but we took fish off every wreck we visited. There was almost a 50/50 split between bait fishing and Shad fishing. We spent a bit of time at slack water on a wreck which was by far the best of the day…….so far.
Once the flood tide got away, we moved onto a couple of wrecks closer in, which turned out to be a good move. We took 3-4 fish a drift for the remainder of the day. Again, split 50/50 between bait and Shads. Ling to 11lb and Codling to 6lb made it into a decent afternoon.
The lads on board kept some nice fish to take home. But credit to them, they threw back alot more Codling than they took home; which was nice to see. I enjoyed both days and really appreciate the bookings/support which I’ve had this year.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Paul Mawson and his mates booked the boat for a 12 hour trip yesterday.
View Boats Page
We sailed at 5am and because the forecast was to freshen up from the SE we decided to run to some marks East of the harbour.
The first stop producing around 15 fish with Codling to around 6lb.
Second mark gave the lads another dozen or so fish that’s all, so we moved to the outermost place on our route and this provided the lads with some quite superb fishing for the rest of the day.
Plenty of Cod to 10lb with a good number of “double ups “ and organiser Paul clicking a cracking Ling of 20lb 8oz which is the biggest fish on the rod out of Whitby so far this year. He commented that we should have saved it until he was on again in the upcoming Summer competition!
We’ll just have to try and find his big brother!!
Simon England taking a nice Ling of 15lb too.
The lads thoroughly enjoyed the trip with excellent banter throughout the day too.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.
Tight lines,
Rich

The fishing here at Whitby, the “Cod capital of the North” is really showing great signs at present.

Plenty of Cod and Ling for yesterday’s lads working just 3 inshore wrecks. The baited rigs far outdoing the Shads on this trip.
Regular angler on the boat Dave Sharp taking the best fish of the day with a nice Ling a fraction over 11lbs.
Chris Wake and his friend Dave taking 20 fish between them! A lovely bag of fillets to take back to Flamingo Land where they are staying for the week.
Perfect weather again and great sport for all.
The Summer competition starts here at Whitby on the 2nd July and runs for 3 weeks where we still have a few days with spaces.
If you fancy joining us, drop me a line.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today was definitely a day of two halves for us. This morning’s weather conditions were perfect for drifting a few wrecks. We ran to some of the inshore wrecks today, to see if there were a few fish about.
View Boats Page
Arriving just before slack water at the first wreck, we had a few drifts, picked up a few Codling and Ling, but it wasn’t exactly prolific. A short move to next one brought much better results. First drift saw 10 Codling and Ling to almost double figures. For the next 2 hours it was absolute mayhem. Fish were coming up left, right and centre and we struggled to get the nets round the boat. Because the wind was holding up the drift it was an absolute free for all!!
Ian Steadman really got amongst them taking Ling to 10lb 8oz and loads of Codling. He also lost (they got back in the wreck) two what seemed to be really decent fish. Everyone certainly got their fill on this one; it was brilliant to see.
Then just as dinnertime approached, the wind lifted and started to make fishing conditions more difficult. We continued to wreck hop, and the more experienced lads still managed to find a few more fish, but it was tough going. Even setting the drifts up was difficult enough with a gusting wind.
All in all, another lovely day out in good company. Thanks ladsUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl

A nice morning weather wise yesterday morning for the lads and this is when they had the best of the fishing with around 40 fish boated.
View Boats Page
After lunch and the tide change, the wind drew down from the Southeast and completely spoilt things. The lads taking just a dozen or so more fish with the lines streaming.
Nevertheless, another good day on the Cod for the lads and Chris Wake from Kilnsey taking the heaviest fish of the day with a nice Ling of 13lb off the ground on the way back in.
The neap tides are upon us now so hopefully the decent fishing will continue for a few more days yet.
