  • 14/11/2021 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    14 Nov 2021 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    After a couple of days off for bad weather, we were back out on the wrecks again today. We chose to fish some wrecks out at 20 miles where the water is nice and clear.

    The day started off slowly on the ebb tide, with only an odd Codling coming up in amongst loads of Pouting and Whiting. On the second wreck we found a few more fish, but the size of the Codling and Haddock was not what we wanted.

    Once the flood tide got away, we finally landed on a good few fish on the fourth wreck of the day. Keith Mcance took a lovely 8lb 8oz Codling, which was backed up by a few around 5lb. Everyone got in on the action, and had a few to take home.

    Squid on bait traces or Hokkai’s baited with squid or mackerel took nearly all the fish today. It was good to end the day on a high and it turned out to be a really enjoyable day out. Thanks a lot boys.

  • 12/11/2021 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    12 Nov 2021 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Last trip off for us was Wednesday in this year’s Uptiding Competition.
    We decided to use the last of the tide and run South from the harbour to a spot where we have had good fish in the past.
    As soon as we arrived the lads picked half a dozen fish up over slack water. Great, we knew they were there and I felt confident that as the ebb tide bent through the lads would see some good action. Wrong!!
    It went quiet! We persevered for a couple of hours with just a dozen or so more fish boated.
    Time for a move then and we cruised back up to Whitby.
    Straight away the lads were into Codling. Nothing of any size to shout about but Rod Wilkinson did take the heaviest fish of the day with a plump Codling of 5lb 1oz. He also had a small Conger about 4lb. The last one we had was over 30 years ago so well done to him!!
    Another great day at sea with a good set of lads.
    Cheers

  • 11/11/2021 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    11 Nov 2021 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    A lovely day out today, with a great bunch of lads. Kevin Totterdell and six of his mates from Manchester booked the boat. We had a mix of experiences, from boat fishing virgins, to lads who have done a fair bit.
    With a smaller tide, we would be able to spend the whole day on the wrecks, which is just what the lads fancied. They all chose to use the Sea Urchin tackle, which is more than man enough for the task.

    We started the day off on a wreck at 12 miles, which usually produces a few fish. Today however, it was very quiet, with only one small Codling coming up. It was time well spent, as the lads got to grips with using the gear and feeling their way through the wrecks. A move to another nearby wreck saw a string of pots right on the drift line, so we moved out to another wreck at 17 miles.

    Things then kicked into place nicely, as first drift saw everyone into a fish! We stuck at it for the remainder of the day, with 2-3 fish most drifts. Ling dominated today with a couple of fish into double figures, but most in the 5-7lb bracket. We did pick up some Codling, but nothing massive. A 4lb 8oz fish took the Cod sweepstake on the boat. Almost all the fish fell for a whole squid on the muppet pennels.

    Hopefully we’ll get a few more days before the big tides come back.

    10 Nov 2021 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    With a settled day showing on the weather forecast, Mr Tran and four of his mates from Birmingham had booked the boat for the day. It was their first time out fishing from Whitby and needless to say, they were keen to get cracking.

    We chose to have a run off to a group of wrecks at 20 miles. It took a while for the lads to get used to fishing in 70m of water (they usually fish in less than half that depth). They chose to use the strong bait traces provided on board, which are tied on 100lb mono, consisting of a pennel arrangement topped with a muppet.

    Squid was the order of the day on the bait front and the fish seemed to come in bursts. The run into slack water on the flood tide produced Codling up to 6lb 8oz, which was good to see. We only managed one solitary Ling on slack; although Pete Rose (former Sea Urchin Skipper) hooked a very powerful fish which he couldn’t keep out of the wreck. We picked a few more fish off as the ebb tide got away before heading back for home.

    The banter flowed all day and everyone got themselves some fish to take home, which is what it’s all about. See you next time lads.

    10 Nov 2021 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday’s crew enjoyed a nice but breezy day on the water in the Uptiding Competition.
    A £5.00/ man sweep on the boat was led for the best part of the day by Andy from Sheffield with a Codling of 4.5 lbs. Andy finished the day with around 15 fish for himself and was top for the boat.
    At the end of the day and after our final move Dave from Hull caught a slightly better one at 5lb 4oz giving him the money on board.
    His fish would also have taken the heaviest of the day in the competition but sadly he gutted it and missed out. Oops!!

    A few spaces left in the event next week if you fancy a bash.

    The Uptiding Competition started last Saturday but it was our first day at sea in the comp yesterday after poor weather at the weekend.
    Bob Ellis and Richard chartered the boat for themselves and had a very enjoyable day working some peaks of ground just a half mile from the harbour.
    Baited Pennell rigs with squid and lugworm doing the business for them.
    The lads finished off with 18 keepers with a lot of undersized returned.
    Best fish went 5.26 lb.
    A great day with great company too.
