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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We managed to squeeze in a day at sea yesterday in between all this horrible weather.
We also managed to get away a little early at 6.30am as the group were all aboard and ready by then, which is always good.
A little bit of swell was running from the North but there was very little or no wind at all so a fine morning welcomed us.
The Mackerel were still running well and after a couple of drifts the nine lads had enough go or the bait.
After the Mackerel fishing at the start, the bottom fishing wasn’t anything to shout home about at all.
Just an odd fish here and there throughout the day.
One of our anglers however, Dave Oswin, who fishes with us quite regularly, had a really good day and almost filled a box himself!
Dave was working Paul Mason's starboard aft corner and said that’s why he’d had a good day (because Paul wasn’t onboard!)
Dave cracked his PB Ling mid morning with a nice fish tipping the scales at 10.5 lbs.
Just an hour after that, he managed to better that and took one which scaled at 14. 5lbs
Well done to him!
The other lads on board including three newcomers from Lithuania, probably gathered around twenty fish to keep between them.
Every fish taken on the baited rigs of Squid and Mackerel.
A quick stop for some more fresh Mackerel to take home and we were done.
Nice to see some new faces on the boat and nice to get a small window to set out to sea again, after yet another week off for poor weather.
Speaking to my work colleagues here at Whitby earlier in the week and we really can’t remember a year as poor as this, ever!
We are looking forward to the Uptiding season to start already. Maybe the weather will be a bit kinder to us over the winter period!
The Shy-Torque III is running its own Uptiding competition this year, just before Xmas.
Dates are 15th - 22nd December inc. (check the calendar on here or on F.B for availability)
We’ll have a little Xmas music playing, mince pies and a drop of mulled wine if you fancy a drop.
Cash prizes on offer too.
Hopefully see you then if not before.

on DAWN TIDE II (Wallasea Island, Essex)
Sep 2024 by Mark Peters
Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
The Autumn Bass fishing!!
As predicted & as the area is well known for the bass fishing has absolutely exploded!!
Cracking stamp of fish most around 4-5lb with some better ones amongst the mega shoals
I will be targeting bass offshore as much as physically possible until Christmas so plenty of time!
We will mainly target bass using the lure & live bait methods with some Bait fishing on the right tides too!
We will have to push further offshore for the better stamp of fish thats because the bass shoal up & head off so we will follow!
Take a look at my previous autumn hauls i think you’ll be shocked, It can be truly amazing too see 100s of very good size bass coming over the rails every cast!!
Availability is limited but contact me on
07523 488290 & il do my best to get you on & among the fish!
Thanks everyone

Report on-board Galloper
It's hard to believe that we could just casually pop out for a few hours in the afternoon and get Stacey our first tuna from Plymouth this year. It was also our first in the chair which works a treat. Fishing has been good so far with everyone catching at least one tuna each if not two or three in a day. Theres been quiet spells and mad spells with multiple hook ups (no matter how hard we tried to avoid them). We have caught them on stand up gear as well as the chair and lots of the lads prefer the chair.
I have a single angler booked the boat for himself for the next few days so Stacey and the boys are coming to help me. I think I can boast the best looking crew in the fleet at least! I have spaces for individuals and boat bookings next week for tuna ideally though we can mix it up if you want.
Currently the boat is available for groups or individuals on 30/09-04/10 from Plymouth. Please call 07956411528 for more information View Boats Page

What a great day out today, 5 different species: Smoothhounds, flounder, dogfish, whiting and thornbacks. Bit choppy but worth it to see our anglers pulling in such an array of fish. Back out tomorrow to Hunt down those late season Bass. Rag and squid cocktail as bait.

Report on-board Galloper
We have been really enjoying our time down here in Falmouth. It's been everything we hoped for and in general the weather has been kind to us. After several years of bad weather on our south coast adventures it's been very welcome. We even managed to sneak offshore for a long trip which requires a lot of ducks to line up. The conditions were far from perfect but they were good enough and the fishing was amazing. From the first drop we were catching decent fish and getting bites non stop. While we were still getting settled there were double and treble shots of spurs dogs coming out as well as a cracking haddock for Steve hill. One of the big rods took us by surprise as it arched over having been down just minutes. The one unrolled and spat the hook which was a shame but as it turned out not the end of the world. We quickly discovered that blue sharks were very plentiful despite having no chum out! We nicked a couple here and there but only put a rod over as pest control every now and then when they were becoming a nuisance. Steve hill posed for a picture of the smallest against his will but there were several 50-80lb fish there too. The k were on the baits pretty quickly to be honest and for a while it was a fish or bite or dropped fish every drop. They varied in size a fair bit and we only measured the wingspan of biggest which was 48 inches and pretty deep too. Nick had this one as one of many firsts for him on the trip. As darkness fell the sea was alive with saury on the surface which would scatter as a shark passed by. We also had a saury jump in the boat. We managed a porgie pup to finish the trip too. We had 8 skate to the boat and lost another 4/5 probably skate or maybe bigger fish. This was well worth the trip, far more life than I expected and I can't wait to head back when I can.
I was surprised that we didn't see any tuna, that's probably because most of them are back inshore where we have been catching them! In fairness we tried lives for them while we were offshore but we couldn't get through the blues. I wish I had that problem at home!
Please call 07956411528 for tuna availability over the next few weeks from Plymouth View Boats Page

Report on-board Skylark
As the tides had dramatically built up in the last few days up to 6.4m we decided to give uptide and downtime fishing ago at anchor.
Withing minutes we the customers started getting bites and a good amount of dogfish and Ballen wrasse made a appearance.
We did manage to get a few codlings aswel then fishing tried up as the tide slowed down so we relocated and fishing picked back up producing a few more cod.
As the tide completely slackened off inshore we tried a few inshore wrecks over slack water which produces more pouting a few more codling and a lonely strappy Ling. View Boats Page
