    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    What a lovely day out we had today.......nice calm flat sea conditions, light winds, good tide and fantastic company. Considering the weather we had with "Storm Darragh" over the last weekend, I couldn't have asked for much better for the "Sea Urchin - Biggest Bag Competition" which we held today. The eight anglers aboard were fishing for the most fish that they could catch. Every fish was measured and then allocated a certain number of points according to species and how long it was. I kept a running tally all day and the two anglers with the highest points total at the end of the day would win the £100 and £50 cash prizes which I happily donate.

    We got away just as day was breaking, running North to Sandsend to get as much of the remaining Ebb Tide in as possible. No sooner than I got the anchor down, the fish started to appear. Rods were consistently nodding around the boat and a succession of mainly Codling came up for the next couple of hours. Gordon Blyth had a brilliant. start, catching steadily and also taking the best Codling at just over 5lb. The sport lasted right up to slack water, when we pulled the anchor and ran further North to meet the Flood Tide.

    Unfortunately, this move didn't work out well. The tide was running when we arrived, but after 20 minutes with very few bites and no fish aboard, I sacked it off and ran back South. Next stop, we were back in business. We had a reasonable couple of hours, with everyone getting a few fish. Amongst the Codling, Ian Kellock and Rich Winship both managed to find a nice Pollock apiece which was good to see.
    We had one last move, to drop onto a nice shelf which I'd fished the previous day.

    Thankfully, it didn't fish too badly and kept us entertained for the remainder of the day. Mark Botterill had been catching steadily throughout, but he had a golden hour and gradually clawed back the points deficit that Gordon had established; including catching the biggest Codling of the day at 66cm which weighed in at a smidge over 7lb. I am forever "banging on" about how important good bait is for Uptiding. The fish can see very little in the murky water and come primarily to the scent trail from the baits cast in. Today's top three point scoring anglers were all from Easington Sea Angling Club and all fish from the shore and boats throughout the year. They all had a good supply of fresh and frozen bait, which they changed every cast. Squid, Crab Cart, Peeler Crab, Live Yellow Tails, Mussel, Prawns, Black Lug. I'm 100% convinced that it made the difference.

    With an hour to go, Gordon had a 100 point lead, but Mark managed to find a couple more fish and with only 30 minutes to go, took the lead! It could have gone either way, but Mark held on for the win with 1717 points and Gordon finishing just behind (bridesmaid again after finishing runner up last year) with 1641 points.
    I'm not normally a "fish counter", but as we measured each fish, I do have some accurate stats today!

    72 Cod up to 66cm (7lb 4oz)
    12 Haddock (None Weighed)
    2 Pollock both 60cm
    8 Pouting none weighed
    1 Whiting not weighed
    5 Lobsters all safely returned

    It was a thoroughly enjoyable day for me, which absolutely flew by. Thanks very much to all the lads who were fantastic company.

    We've another very enjoyable day at sea again today, again a mixture of regulars were onboard the banter was absolutely top notch!

    We took fish in most places with a couple of crackers going over 6lb. Again plenty of chuck back codlings, haddock, pouting and a single pollock.
    The best angler took 9 or 10 codlings with the rest of the taking a picking in between.
    The fish were all caught on a mixture of black lug, fresh lug, squid, crab cart and mussel.

    We've a few dates available through the rest of December into new year if you fancy jumping aboard for day. We only need a minimum of 4 to sail and never take any more than 8.

    Report on-board Mistress

    It's been a great day today with a few of my regular regulars!

    We caught fish pretty much everywhere we went today,
    Loads of codlings, pouting, haddock, whiting, a solitary doggo and a lobster (returned).
    We had loads of throwbacks and would have thrown back more if it wasn't for them being gutted hooked. (We don't keep anything under 40cm)

    The lads kept between 20 & 30 codlings with the best angler taking 14. All caught on a mixture of black lug, squid and cart.
    At one mark we struggled keeping up with the bites, it went crazy.

    The company and laughs were great as everyone knew each other. Back to sea again tomorrow on another good forecast.

    If you fancy a trip with me uptidng we have a few dates available between now and new year. Please drop me a message on WhatsApp or give me a call on 07977 436903.

    11 Dec 2024 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    Obviously the weather has curtailed some of our plans lately but we have managed to get out here and there. Steve canham had our biggest conger so far from brightlingsea the other day and it was nice to break into double figures as well as catching it intentionally too (something I never expected to say).
    We had half a day for bass with Jons group the other day and although the size and numbers are down it was great to have fresh bass for dinner in December and there were plenty of bites. We missed lots but I had 7 bass in 3 hours fishing. John managed one or two small hounds and we had dogfish and whiting before heading inshore to have a relaxing end to the day. There's loads of life there and we added dabs and pouting to the species count.
    It looks like the weather will be on its toes later this week and I have spaces for groups and individuals both days this weekend. Please contact me on 07956411528 if you want to get out.

  • 30/11/2024 Fishing Report by Trevor Small on Rocket (Poole, Dorset)

    30 Nov 2024 by Trevor Small

    Report on-board Rocket

    After the recent unsettled weather ,we are looking forward to a few more busy sessions at anchor. The reefing this time of year can provides a steady flow of Channel Whiting , which are great sport on light tackle. Other suspects include Congers ,Pout, Bass and Rays. Occasionally a bonus fish will introduce its self like this beautiful Spurdog shown here by its captor Mark. We wouldn't usually expect Spurs this close inshore ,but that is the essence of angling, you never know what's going to rock up next .Of course we are always hoping for a Cod too, and we have a welcome party waiting . Theses reef trips are inexpensive, productive and the Reefs fished are inshore enough to be awarded protection from our prevailing winds. Bait can be purchased from Sea Fishing Poole's hut on the Quayside, on the morning of the trip. If you require tackle ,this can be provided at additional cost to whomever needs it. We carry some very light line rods aboard for your enjoyment. I always encourage fishing as light as possible ,as this will enhance your experience and increase you catch. Keep a look out for our forthcoming availability ,and grab yourself some great value action.

    Report on-board Neverland

    �� Who Let the Dogs Out? ��

    We wrapped up our last trips before the Christmas break, and what a contrast it’s been! While Whiting were predominantly caught closer inshore, Neverland found Spur Dogs, Smoothhound, and Bass further offshore.

    On Tuesday, 4th December, with perfect conditions, we headed out and hit the better fish almost immediately—giving our party a glimpse of what January and February fishing will bring.

    �� Bookings for 2025 are now open with availability for full boat and individual days on CBUK.

  • 06/12/2024 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    6 Dec 2024 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    It's been a few weeks since I've been able to produce a catch report. We've suffered with the usual rubbish weather for the time of year. I've been keeping busy doing small jobs on the boat that I haven't had the chance to do through the Summer. I've also been down to Plymouth on a Tuna fishing/handling course with Kev Lavis who Skippers on Crusader Charters, which was really interesting and informative.

    On Wednesday and Thursday this week we finally got the chance to have a couple of days at sea. I had been asked once again to participate in a two day Uptiding Competition for the Police, Armed Forces and Civil Service. I was more than happy to join in having done the competition last year and had a brilliant time.

    Four of the WCSA Association boats had been chartered, so along with Shy Torque, Alliance and Trot-On we would be spending a couple of days Uptiding. The weather was pretty rough on the run-in to Wednesday, but thankfully, we managed to get out for both days in the end. I had a group of eight lads aboard who were very keen to get started and I could tell they took their fishing seriously, as they were all very well kitted out and organised with good bait.

    The format for the competition was that all the species of fish caught would be measured, then points were allocated according to species and size, off the chart which the Skippers were given by the organiser. So even a 25cm Pouting or 45cm Dogfish contributed points towards the overall total along with the preferred Codling etc. It's a really great way to fish, with every fish counting. Prizes would be awarded to the top three point scoring anglers over the combined two days. Also a prize was awarded for the biggest Codling (on the measure, not by weight).

    We ran south towards Robin Hoods Bay on Wednesday and we had a fairly reasonable day. The winds were light and with a 5.2m tide, we caught fairly consistently throughout the day and there were flushes of fish moving through so we only moved a couple of time to reposition the boat. There were plenty of Codling caught up to 55cm, along with Pouting, Whiting & Dogfish and a solo Haddock. The lads were using Squid and Black Lugworm baits in the main and fishing with running leads and flowing 3-4ft traces with a pennel arangement of hooks on; or scratching type rigs with smaller bits of bait on short hook snoods. Switching between the two different rigs allowed the lads to keep the bites coming and the scoreboard ticking over.

    Thursday gave slightly more breeze to contend with, but the sea conditions weren't bad at all, so we ran south again. For whatever reason, we caught probably half the quantity of fish we had the previous day. The most noticeable thing we found was that in the places we stopped at there weren't many flushes of fish running. We would initially catch the fish that were in the vicinity of the boat then it just died off. Consequently, we moved a few more times on Thursday to try and fish the fish.

    Overall it was two really enjoyable days at sea for me. With the additional measuring, netting and recording of all the fish caught, the days just flew by as I was always busy. The chat and banter amongst the lads was excellent and brutal in equal measure! We all convened at The Middle Earth Pub for Pie & Peas with a couple of pints to do the presentations to round off a great competition.

    Unfortunately I didn't get much chance to take any fish pictures, so I've just stuck with the sunrise on Wednesday morning. Thanks to everyone who took part. It was certainly a highlight of the year for me. Looking forward to 2025 already.

  • 06/12/2024 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    6 Dec 2024 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    After a long spell away from the job with bad weather, it was great to get back out there again on Wednesday and Thursday with great teams of lads on their annual two day inter-boat Uptiding Competition.

    John Wright, who organises this event with me
    (The Whitby Invitational Cod Open) for his retired police colleagues, RAF friends and Civil Service mates have been looking forward to this event since last year.

    The conversations with the organisers early on in the week were a bit “doom and gloom” to be fair, with swell predictions of over two metres for early Wednesday and we honestly didn’t expect to get to sea, but on the last check on the forecasts on Tuesday evening, the decision was made that we would give it a go.

    The four boats involved, Shy-Torque, Trot-On, Alliance and Sea Urchin all sailed at 8.0am and had a great days angling with over 150 Cod boated between the four boats, along with all the usual “chuck backs”

    Yesterday’s forecast was far from great, but because all 32 anglers were already in town, we all decided that we would have a look at it and decide on the morning.

    A lovely morning welcomed us with very light winds and again, all four boats took to sea.

    Not quite as good a day numbers wise with fish caught, but another great day for the lads on the water.

    Another 100 plus Cod were boated, making for nearly 300 over the two day event.
    Haddock, Pouting, Dogfish, Whiting amongst other species caught too. Oh, and a few Lobster!

    The majority of all fish boated were measured for the points system and safely returned, which is always great to see regards future stocks.

    A fantastic two days at sea with some cracking banter with the lads and as always, young Fergus was in top form as crewman.

    Kim Andrews fishing aboard the Shy-Torque III took the heaviest Cod over the two days at 7lb 3oz.
    Well done to him.

    Thanks to all who competed and thanks to Paul, Shaun, Andy and Perry for joining us as skippers and crew.
    We’re all looking forward to next year’s event already.

    Cheers
    Rich.
