Report on-board High Flyer 2
Up to date report nice to see start of smoothounds not in great numbers but that will come. Water temp still needs to climb bring more thornbacks closer in, noticed crab life on the bottom starting to be a nuisance so summers on its way. Plenty of spotty dogs of all sizes and still catching whiting! The wind has been bit testing as late so not really had a chance to nip out for bass but hopefully after next week we will get to have a go. We are out water 9th May to 13th may for usual maintenance antifoul etc so no trips next week still ring me will find you a vessel if i can. Tope trips are filling up dont lose out only got certain tides dont forget . Due to fuel hike now running at £60 a day per person everything supplied or trying to do shorter day midweek £45 to help out with those on a budget. Will keep you all posted what happens this weekend follow us on Facebook under Jon Old or High Flyer Sea Fishing. Until then tight lines people. Cheers Jon.

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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It’s been a busy week of mixed fortunes on the fishing front. On Monday and Wednesday, using the tide we ran off to fish a couple wrecks down south.
Despite the wrecks marking plenty of fish, the rewards on board were not quite the same. On both days we picked off a few Codling to 5lb 8oz and then had to run back in and drift the rough ground to get a few more fish to take home. The rough ground certainly has plenty of smaller fish on it, which is great to see.
Yesterday we ran off North to look at a couple of wrecks in the 20 mile stream. We picked off a few Codling and Whiting, but nothing exceptional. It wasn’t until after dinner on the Ebb Tide, that we finally got amongst a few on the third wreck of the day. With Codling to 6lb and Ling to 9lb, it was 3-4 fish most drifts, which was a good reward for some great angling.
Hopefully the inshore wrecks will start to throw up a few more fish in the coming weeks. The Mackerel haven’t arrived yet, so Squid has accounted for 95% of the fish caught. Thanks to everyone for having a trip out with me this week, I really appreciate it. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
May 2022 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
A quick update on our offshore trips so far this year aboard the Galloper. We have been lucky enough to get lots of trips offshore so far this year. Unfortunately many were cancelled or changed to inshore trips due to weather but that is the nature of this kind of trip. We started off well with numbers of spurs and hounds from our very first trips. Although most of the hounds were small to start with they make a welcome change from the whiting and dogfish that eagerly robbed our baits throughout each trip. We had spurs on all but two trips and they varied in size and numbers from trip to trip. I often say that I am relieved when the first spur comes aboard the boat each trip as I know many other local boats don’t catch them at all or have just happened upon one or two here and there. So once the first one is aboard I can breath a sigh of relief. With consistent numbers showing early in the season and seeming to built it was a good reminder not to take them for granted when we had a couple of blanks on them. This is why I call them offshore trips rather than specifically spur trips. thankfully there were smooth-hounds, bass and thorn-back rays off there too to keep us busy. There were several ‘Spurgins’ who joined us this year and broke their ‘spurginity’ aboard the Galloper. Their new personnel bests are something to try and beat next year now. As ever there were lots of big pregnant female spurs showing. The biggest of which fell to Wayne Bennet at 18.8lbs and was one of 30 spurs we had that day. we were kept busy in between with lots of dogfish and whiting as well as a few thorn-back rays and smooth-hounds too.
As I mentioned earlier although it’s great to catch them, its not just about the spur dogs. These trips can produce all sorts of surprises and that’s what keeps it interesting. One set of tides they were off the feed so we had a look around to see what else was about. We tried one of our offshore bass marks and could see loads of fish showing on the fish finder. We only hoped they were feeding. We sent down an array of lures although feathers seemed to be the most productive as it turned out most of the marks were herring. We had several long drifts here and filled two buckets with them. We didn’t just catch herring though as several bass did show as well as some launce, whiting and pouting and least expected were the 15 or so mackerel that were either very early for this year or late for last year! We did manage to get some fish at anchor too towards the end of the day. Dave had a nice sizable bass, a few small smooth-hounds and a roker showed too. Wayne also pulled a spur out on the last cast too. Happily the next time we got off there the spurs were playing ball again. Stephen Clarke started us off nicely with one of 17.8lbs. several more spurs came out as the day went on. Barry Wood stole the lime light that trip though with a lovely blonde ray of 14.8lbs. these are pretty rare off of the Essex coast so it was notable that this was the second blonde Barry has caught aboard the ‘Galloper’ in the last two years. he must be doing something right! This set of tides also produced some more nice bass too. These are always a welcome sight and hopefully a sign of things to come. I am currently arranging and offshore bass trip for this week (06/05) if you fancy joining us please get in touch.
That’s about it for the spur dog trips this year. We will have to look forwards to next years trips. If you fancy joining us then please get in touch and I will put you on the list for next years trips.
As I mentioned I am running an offshore bass trip this week but after that we are looking forwards to the tope fishing for our next run of offshore trips. These are for experienced anglers only and I don’t offer hire rods for this fishing. I only have a few suitable tides left for tope fishing this year. Spaces as follows

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We had a belated Happy Christmas today, as Bob Nichols had booked the whole boat as a Christmas present for his Son-in-Law, Matt Collins.
With there only being the four of them they had acres of room on deck. Three were very experienced wreck anglers and Matt was on his first fishing trip, using my hire tackle. We had a run off to the 20 mile area again, where the fishing has been pretty consistent of late.
First stop and the experienced lads got stuck straight in. I went through the technique for drifting a wreck with Matt and away we went. The first wreck wasn’t heaving with fish, but the boys picked off a few Codling around the 3-4lb mark. After half an hour, we headed off to try another one. Good decision; as we stayed there for the next 3 hours picking off fish every drift.
The biggest fish competition was touch and go until the “new boy” Matt pulled up a nice Codling of 6lb 5oz, which won him the trophy and bragging rights over the “old timers”!! Credit to Matt; he was a very fast learner and got things sussed quickly. We had a decent stamp of fish again, and the lads threw back the smaller 2-3lb fish, keeping a few better sized ones for dinner.
Squid on bait traces dominated, although frozen Mackerel and Squid together did a fair few bites; as did Gummymacks.
I thoroughly enjoyed the day, which was spent in great company. Thanks lads. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Back out to the 20 mile wrecks again today, hoping for a few better sized specimens.
We had a mix of experience, from brand new to “old hands” and we found a few fish on the first wreck; but as it was a bit “chewy” it was only the experienced lads that managed to get through and catch fish. The other’s kept getting stuck.
We persevered for half an hour, then I moved us on to a more friendly wreck, where we picked away for a couple of hours. The wreck was marking a lot of fish on the sounder and we got 2-3 fish a drift, but today the bigger fish evaded capture.
Our biggest Codling of the day fell to the only lady angler on board at 5lb 8oz. (The old pheromones at play again ��). Unfortunately, the flood tide spoiled things today as it pushed against the Southerly wind and gave rubbish fishing conditions during the afternoon.
It wasn’t the best day ever, but that’s fishing for you…….thanks to everyone for a nice day out. View Boats Page
