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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The September angling competition came to an end yesterday (should have been today but strong winds stopping us)
The last two or three trips haven’t given us much to report about really with just a picking here and there.
Best day for us was Friday gone, where we picked around 25 fish (all Ling) from a wreck 18 miles East of the harbour.
No big fish landed but with Ling to just under 12lbs on the boat, the lads enjoyed a reasonable few hours angling in nice settled waters.
Yesterday we steamed South East to some wrecks around 16-17 miles for a bare picking of fish.
Our most regular angler Paul Mawson landed a lovely Cod which topped out at 13lb exactly. Well done to him.
His fish now taking the lead in the Shy-Torque III fish of the month where the winner gets a free trip with us (valid for 12 months)
We end the fish of the month competition in October but will start again in April next year.
Last months F.O.M (winners) were Paul Mawson and Bill Barraclough who both landed Ling a smidge under 14lbs. Identical in weight to the ounce, on the same day! We don’t see that very often and we all said we’d probably never see it again. How wrong we were!
The September competition winners are sharing the £1000.00 first prize too!
Both anglers landing Ling of 19lb 1/2oz.
Well done to both of them!
Thanks to everyone who made the competition a success even though we did lose several days to bad weather.
I’m sure everyone enjoyed it.
Also, thanks to Alex at “Mr Chips” fish and chip shop and the Middle Earth Tavern on Church Street for their continued support in sponsoring the events.
Without support like theirs we wouldn’t be able to host these cracking competitions.
On another note, our association is holding an Uptiding competition this year which runs from Saturday 25th November - Sunday 3rd December.
We are giving away a £1000.00 heaviest overall fish plus daily prizes for the heaviest fish of the day.
If you fancy a go at that, give me a ring to sort a day for you.
Individuals are very welcome and we will sail with just 3 anglers on any day.
A nice little prize to have a go at just before Xmas!!
Cheers for now guys and keep the lines tight!

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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After the recent spell of shabby weather, I hadn’t been to sea for ten days, so it was a bit of a blank canvass on Friday. With a 4.8m tide and a Westerly wind, we were destined to spend most of the day on rough ground and wrecks at slack.
We managed to catch plenty of Mackerel and then started off on the three mile ground. The first three drifts saw us take 5 or 6 fish each drift, which was encouraging. The drift speed increased, so I opted to run out to the five mile ground. Three drifts and one Pouting later I ran back inside to the 3 mile ground!! We fished a couple of wrecks at slack, for a few small fish but nothing special.
Then Nick Gray hooked a fish which ran off haphazardly and then came towards the boat. Just before we could see the fish, the hook pulled…..arrrgh!! On the last drift of the day on the ground, Ian Kellock landed a nice 15lb Ling……which made me think about the plan for the next day.
Armed with that information, I had the pleasure of The Keel Inn Fishing Club today. I’d explained the plan of staying around the 3 mile ground, as I was confident there was an odd decent fish about. There’s always a big element of luck, right drift, right presentation, right state of tide.
The fishing wasn’t easy, but the lads took the advice offered and were fishing either Mackerel flappers or whole fillets. After picking away a few fish here and there, the biggest being a 9lb Ling we just kept on the move, picking up odd fish each drift. Then “it” happened!!
Steve Thornton hooked a good fish which gave a similar “funny” type fight as Nick had the day before. After a good tussle we managed to slip the net under a lovely Tope which we estimated between 35-40lb….awesome.
Whilst I was sorting out the Tope, “Chips” Mallin shouted he had a good fish on. Thankfully Tog Edwards took over netting duty and they dragged a lovely 19lb 0.5oz Ling aboard. What a drift…..total carnage!!
The fishing certainly wasn’t prolific, but we had some nice fish. A massive thanks to everyone for the last two days, you were brilliant company. View Boats Page

It's always nice to see something different and even more so when it's something rare and beautiful like these greater weaver. The pictures don't do them justice at all. Considering i don't know of any other boats catching them around here so you see several in one trip is great. Next spaces are in October some weekend bass trips and both general and bass trips available midweek. Please call 07956411628 for more information.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Sorry I haven’t done a report over the last three days.
That’s mainly due to the fact that there’s been nothing much to report on really.
We had Ken Fusco and family on board Monday/Tuesday.
Ken, Andy, Declan and Dave book the boat to themselves every year with us in the competitions.
Monday we steamed off North to three or four wrecks North of Whitby out to 29 miles. Rubbish! 10 fish for the day!
Declan did however win the daily prize of £50.00 with a Ling of 9lb 4oz.
Tuesday was such that we had to stay more inshore and work marks closer to home as the breeze was to increase from the North throughout the day.
Rubbish fishing again with just 8 fish to keep!
Declan did get the daily £50.00 prize winner again though, with a whopping 5lb 2oz Ling!
Thanks to Ken and the lads for their patience, understanding and support.
They know the score and that it can’t always be a top drawer day.
Yesterday’s team were a group of my most regular anglers who had decided to book the boat for a long trip.
We weren’t in the competition as we sailed at 5.0am and returned late.
We steamed offshore to some ground marks to start the day. Rubbish again with 15 fish or so boated.
Out to the first wreck of the day it was then.
1 fish! OMG!
The second wreck did produce slightly more fish with 8 boated but still rubbish!!
The third stop was on a tiny bit of scrap 38 miles off.
We were hoping and praying this would come up trumps but it didn’t! Rubbish!!
Just a dozen fish from it.
My crewman Fergus did however pull a nice Ling from it though. Weighing in at 19lb 6oz, a P.B for him. Well done to him!
Shame we weren’t in the competition as that fish would have jumped in to the lead on the board.
Ah well that’s life! LOL!
Thanks to everyone who have fished with us so far in the competition and we’ll see you all again soon.
Cheers and tight lines.
Rich.

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
A Quick one
The offshore Bass fishing has started with a bang aboard Dawn Tide II we are seeing plenty coming aboard a decent stamp too!
You have to put in the miles for this fishing & unfortunately it is a little more expensive than a general trip.
But personally i think Its 100% better than scratching around locally for fish that are moving off!
Lures & worms have both been doing the trick, some days lures are better - some days its the worm baits but it all depends on the tides & conditions on the day.
Every day is different out there some will fish better than others there is only one way to find out!
This offshore bass fishing will last until December
Im fully booked until midd November but keep an eye out as i do get the odd reschedule or cancellation
