Report on-board Galloper
Sorry I haven't put much on lately, the great weather has often meant I've been working long hours with no signal. There have been some lovely fish showing with some chunky bass among the schoolies. The hound fishing has been pretty good in places and there's one or two rays and tope showing too. We will be starting our offshore bass trips soon and they continue until the start of December.
I have availability for groups and individuals over the next few weeks. We are running all sorts of trips from 4hr inshore trips to offshore trips targeting bass and flatties and of course mixed general trips for smooth hounds and bass.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
25 Jun 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
I’ve struggled to find time to do a daily report recently, but the last three days fishing has seen a familiar pattern emerge each day for us.
All three days were spent fishing on Spring tides between 5.1m and 5.3m, not enormous, but certainly a quick enough drift to make for challenging conditions with a bit of breeze. On these size tides, the days are generally spent on a mix of wrecks around slack water and drifting rough ground when the tide was running.
The way the periods of slack water fell, meant we started each day with a couple of wrecks. It was noticeable, that as soon as the tide dipped, the fish started feeding well and we had a reasonable start each day taking Codling and Ling with a couple around the 7lb mark. Slack water was quiet each day, then as soon as the new tide bent through, there would be another feeding spell until the tide built up to full speed.
Each day, once the tide was at its peak, sport literally stopped. The fish were there, but clearly just weren’t feeding. Over the three days we’ve fished rough ground at 3, 5, 7 and 20+ miles with very similar results.
We kept on the move during these periods, trying different areas and lines, but we had meagre pickings, with just an occasional odd fish. Thankfully on Sunday and Monday the second slack periods also delivered a few nice fish to end the day, which was great.
Tactics wise, it was the “Whitby usual”…Muppet traces baited with Squid and/or Mackerel for the wrecks. Baited Hokkai’s on the rough ground. Shads were tried a couple of times, but not with much consistency. My son William accompanied us on Sunday along with Grandad. He’s caught on rough ground plenty of times, but on Sunday he had his first go at wrecking fishing. He landed (on his own) his first Ling from out of the wreck at 4lb 8oz, so it was a proud Dad moment for me! He’s only 11 and it was a battle royale all the way up.
A huge thanks to all the anglers who’ve been out with us the last three days. Everyone was fantastic company and I am so grateful for the support. View Boats Page

It was great to see the lads from plumbcity Braintree again the other day. The weather was gorgeous and the fishing was busy from the first cast. There were good numbers of hounds, some small tope, dogfish, rays and some nice bass. The only downside was being stuck with a load of plumbers but I suppose you can't have everything! Great to see the lads again and you are welcome anytime if you bring weather and fishing like that.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Our regular crew of Chinese lads, Alex Choy and his mates joined us yesterday for their fourth trip of the season.
The lads just love to fish the distant grounds in search of the Acadian redfish.
So far this year they have dropped lucky with the weather and the fish and yesterday was just the same for them. Flat calm and plenty of them.
I would guesstimate around thirty Acadian were boated, coming onboard in two’s at one point.
The light rods and light traces with smaller hooks, tipped off with small pieces of bait, are ideal for this style of fishing.
Alex was targeting them all day and on occasion pulled a few Codling up too and also landed a nice Ling of 8lb 8oz.
I honestly didn’t think he would get it to the surface on such light gear, but fair play to him, he played it well and was rewarded. One hell of a scrap on
Even though we were working back side of twenty miles, the tide was still running harshly and made things a bit tricky on the top of the tide but the boys kept working hard and were rewarded for their efforts.
Baited rigs worked the best today but a few fish also fell to the shads.
I’m away to Norway for a weeks fishing after tomorrow’s trip lads. Hopefully the weather stays like this for you all whilst Fergus and me are away and you have success wherever you’re fishing.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Well, as the tides have lifted, the fishing has become more patchy day on day throughout this week for us.
Yesterday we ran South to try some inshore marks where my mate had had a few the day prior.
We didn’t see a fish!
The tide had started rushing through on the ebb after half an hour on the first mark so we ran out a few miles to try a couple of wrecks to see if we could click a Pollack or two. Just four fish from these and as the drift speed increased to well over a knot things progressively became more difficult.
Rough ground it was then until the tide slowed up a bit for us.
The lads took just a half dozen to keep.
When the tide eased back just after lunch, we dropped on three or four wrecks to finish the day. The baited Hokkai rigs taking a few small Ling and Codling and the Shads taking a few Codling too.
If the weather had been wet and miserable I’d probably have been running for home a bit earlier but as it was a glorious, sunny, Summery day, we stuck it out to the end.
No fish over four pounds for us yesterday but to be fair, I always reckon that Codling around that size are the best eating anyway.
Not much work for young Fergus’s filleting knife, with around 20-25 fish to process.
Cheers lads and hopefully we will see a bit better fishing next time on the smaller tides.
Rich.

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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Great to be spending so many days back at sea again.
The last two days have seen us fishing on building tides. Friday saw a group of mixed experience anglers aboard and it was planned to be a mix of wrecks around slack water and rough ground when the tide was pushing.
Unfortunately it didn’t turn out like that, as the South Easterly wind just kept building throughout the day, presenting the anglers with some challenging fishing conditions.
Even with 16oz leads on, the lines soon streamed away from the boat. This is where the more experienced anglers have the upper hand, as they are able to keep the tackle on the bottom in order to get bites. Joe Clough, Ian Smith and Chuck Stubbly managed to do this consistently and kept the bites coming throughout the day.
We spent the majority of the day on the rough ground at five miles, drift fishing with squid baited Hokkai’s. For the lads who could control their gear, there were plenty of small Codling, Haddock and Whiting willing to feed. To end the day, we ran back into the three mile ground and picked off some lovely clean Codling, with Chuck taking a new PB of 7lb 12oz. Great angling in adverse conditions.
Today I had the Keel Inn Fishing Club aboard for the first time this year. A great bunch of lads who are a pleasure to have aboard. Stacks of banter and there’s some solid anglers amongst them as well. The first couple of wrecks we tried weren’t too bad. Tog Edwards helped himself to a 7lb 4oz Codling on only the second drift. We took a dozen fish, then tired another one. This time Daz Hilton had a 7lb 12oz Codling to knock Tog off top spot for biggest fish of the day.
The rest of the day was spent on wrecks and rough ground. We caught fish in almost everywhere we stopped, but it was just odd fish here and there. Certainly a lack of consistency. I felt there were more feeding fish on the ground yesterday, despite today’s weather conditions being much better.
Everyone fished hard all day but Tog was certainly the most consistent, regularly being the first one to catch on a drift. Whether it be muppet traces or Hokkai’s, he rang the changes well. Good angling. See you next month lads. View Boats Page
