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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday was the last day of this years Spring Festival here at Whitby and as it was almost 2 weeks ago since we sailed, we were very happy to be getting out.
The leading fish up to yesterday was one of just over 8 lbs, so we were hopeful that with the tides being perfect for wrecking and the winds being light, there was half a chance of finding that winning fish.
We ran offshore to one of our favourite wrecks just over 17 miles off where we’d fished ok a couple of weeks back.
The fish were interested and the first 4 or 5 drifts produced over 20 fish, with the best going around 9.5lbs.
Not a big one but big enough to take the lead (if nobody else came in with a better one)
We kept our fingers crossed!
The day panned out really nice, with the lads taking fish everywhere we stopped after that, including the grounds a bit more local to the harbour.
A few of them taking “double ups” on the baited rigs too.
Things are maybe starting to show signs of improving a bit closer in at last.
I tried a couple of shads on the ground too which caught fish. The water clearing out nicely now.
At the weigh in we popped our fish on the scales which registered 9lb 5.5oz which took the lead (for 10 minutes!)
At the last knock, another Ling came to the scales at 11lb which pipped us!
Ah well, not to worry. Shaun from Cumbria was well pleased with his day and his 12 fish caught. His Ling taking 2nd place overall. Well done to him.
Aside the weather being pants for most of the competition, it ended with a bit of a flurry yesterday and all the contenders had a great day.
Our tally for the day would be over 70 to keep along with the other chuck backs.
Thanks to everyone who booked with us in the competition and we will see you in the Summer one.
Cheers
Rich.

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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It’s been a while…..what with a family holiday and pants weather etc; but the wind finally eased back a bit and we got the chance to have a run out today.
As it was a tiny 4.4m neap tide, wrecking was the order of the day. With it being a Sunday and seven other Charter boats in action, finding offshore wrecks in range wasn’t easy. Once I knew where everyone else was headed, I opted to push tide and head North to some wrecks at 20-25 miles. I’m not keen on running out that far, but it was definitely going to be the best option to find a few fish in the clearer water.
We arrived at the first wreck around 0930hrs and I noted that it was marking a lot of feed around it. Hopefully the predators would be in amongst them. Thankfully after a long steam we got amongst some fish for a good few drifts. All Codling, with eight fish being the best drift and a nice stamp with mainly 3-5lb fish. After a hour, things had really slowed down, so I opted to push on another five miles.
Arriving at a small wreck just before slack water, the drift was very slow and it appeared the Pouting were feeding but the Cod weren’t. Almost bang on slack Toby Plotzitzka hooked a fish that put a little bend in his 80lb Class Rod! To be fair I hadn’t a clue that it was a bit better sized fish, but in fairly short order he wrestled up a nice Ling of 11lb 2oz! Once the tide Ebb tide got away, the Codling came back on the feed and we fished away steadily for another hour or so, taking fish every drift. As expected, muppet bait traces dominated, baited with Squid or Mackerel (Frozen). No surprise the Ling came to Mackerel….
A lovely group of lads who fished well and everyone got a few fish. At this time of year, I’d class that as a decent enough day…..shame the steam took so long. A massive thanks to everyone for coming, you were great company. Big thanks to my son Will, who was on crewing duties.
Also, massive congratulations to Toby who’s Ling also took first prize and £1000 in the WCSA Spring Competition.View Boats Page

Inshore the fishing wasn't that great plenty of Bream but bit on the small side with a bonus 3 Bearded Rockling.Offshore was much better with plenty of Spurdogs, Bullhuss, Whiting and a bonus Brill of 4lb 8oz .
In the Piscary Species Hunt the boat tally now stands at 33 individuals

Report on-board Deep Blue
Thursday 17th April.
Chasing fish tails, and our own tails today.
Very scratchy out there this last couple of trips. Lots of algae bloom in the water on the flood tide after yesterday’s wind. The ebb tide cleared it up a bit. The dredger has also just been, and they have permission to dump their spoil a measly mile away uptide of the marina, which makes the water muddy.
Fish very scattered around, tons of marks on the sounder, but again being finicky on the bite. A few nice fish dropped. No big girl smoothies yet still, but several smaller ones. There’s not even that many pouting out there, not that I would usually complain about that, but it’s just bloody weird.
Best fish of the day had be Becky’s micro Codling
Off out again tomorrow, before the wind comes back and spoils Saturday and Easter Sunday .
12 species landed today.View Boats Page

A swing in the weather again….. it’s day on, day off at the moment.
7 crew out on the reefs all day.
Yesterday was a bit more challenging than the trip before, today was more challenging than yesterday. Tides falling but still making the drifts a bit swift.
Quite a few snags from the chaps, some of whom have had a bit of a fishing hiatus. Blowing the cobwebs off today was a little bit of a baptism of fire - for some.
Fish all over the shop again, but they were being a bit finicky.View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
Saturday 12th April.
A bit of a different day compared to yesterday, with a lot more fish on the sounder than we managed to tempt onto our hooks, but it was still fishy.
Rough af to start, one poor chap being poorly ALL day. Fine to finish.
A change of wind direction has a lot to do with how these scaled foes act .
Easterly winds pose a challenge, often pushing fish deeper and making them less active, which requires you to adjust your tactics and target slightly deeper waters. The more experienced angler will always manage to pick fish up, but less experienced rods often find it difficult.
Despite this, some persistence pays off, and we returned to shore with a half decent catch, plenty of stories, and smiles all round.View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Simon Logan

Report on-board Deep Blue
Friday 11th April.
What a belter.
I got my timings messed up today due to squeezing in the earlier lock. So, when the plan was to fish the last bit of the flood for smoothies, I in reality got us there an hour before I should, and missed out on a bit of fishing elsewhere as a result…
WELL I WENT AND REDEEMED MYSELF!!
Half a dozen Smoothies, gurnard, whiting, dabs, doggies, mackerel & would you believe it the - ♂️ FIRST BREAM OF THE SEASON ♂️ landed before high water.
Reef fishing for the second half, which was pretty good judging by the smiles on my crews faces .
Codlings, Pollack, Wrasse, more mackies and the long awaited bass.
Again, the stamp and quantity of pollack was exceptional. A couple of fish in the early doubles, and the bulk of the rest of them were high single digits.
No monster bass, with quite a few borderline, which were returned. Nevertheless, it’s so refreshing seeing the birds going bonkers once more.
The bigger smoothies, and first Tope of the season must be imminent too.
Great day.View Boats Page
