Busy day again offshore with a 12hr Turbot/Brill & Bass trip. Approx 60 Turbot & Brill and 20 Bass along with some cracking Blonde rays and 1/2 dozen other species.
We will soon be targeting the Big Bream and Nick had a little scout today with his Offshore Bream rig - Happy to confirm that they are where we suspected they would be at this time of year and they are certainly Big! We have a few spaces available on these specialist Big Bream trips, checkout the calendar on our website for dates.

Not a great catch tonight but a good craic with Jay and his work mates. Hundreds of Mackey but very few other species in the short trip .
Please note , it is always best to RING us, rather than email or text.

Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)
1 Sep 2023 by Nick Gough
Report on-board Skylark
Today we had a 6hr trip planned with a 3hr and a 2hr afterwards
We set off at 9am and the customers were been quite impatient so we decided to get fishing ASAP on a rock mark close to the harbour and strait away was into mackerel. This kept the customers happy and we had several runs managing to find a good few cod and Pollock also.
As fishing slowed down with ebbing tide reducing we decided to run further up the coast to get some more tide.
Again we found more mackerel, a few more cod and some whiting just off the rock.
As soon as the tide started turning the sea started building to a good meter which wasn't forecast and with a few of the customers suffering the effects of sea sickness we decided to run back for some shelter to from the swell. As we ran back the sea carried on building. Unfortunately conditions had picked up to the point it was unfishable so we were forced to return earlier than expected.
As we approached the harbour we did see some bottle nose dolphins in the harbour mouth again.
We cancelled the 2 hour trip at this point and the 3 hour trip we cancelled in person as the customers had travelled and paid for the parking so we offered to take them on a free ride out to see the dolphins for half an hour.
As soon as we left the harbour they soon released why we had cancelled the trip and after a bit of searching they all managed to see the dolphins heading south. View Boats Page

Report on-board Skylark
Today we had a 6 hour trip to start with fishing was instant for us this morning as mentioned in a previous social post the skipper got a cracking 9lb 3oz Pollock which ended up been the heaviest fish of the day.
Overall the customers had a few cod and Pollock was slow going compared to what we have seen recently but with the winds and the tides its coloured the water a bit but lures were still working.
Once the ebbing tide was gone we kept moving marks trying to locate the fish and it was slow going for a bit until we found the tide again.
The 3 hour trip was slow starting with a few Pollock showing and a few cod we tried several marks to try and pick up some mackerel but with no success until the last 30 minutes of the trip and we then managed to find them in abundance.
On the way back to the harbour we saw all the passenger boats stationary in the harbour entrance when we looked closer we noticed a pod of bottle nose dolphins so we came in slightly later than expected and watched the dolphins leave.

Report on-board Skylark
Two days are never the same
Todays trip unfortunately was cut short due to the predicted winds coming earlier than expected but young Charlie did really well winding up fish most drifts as usual
Plenty of plump mackerel as the last few days
As the customers had some fish to take back and the fishing becoming very difficult and tackle hungry due to the wind and tide been together making the drifts really fast we decided to call the trip short after 5hrs

Report on-board Skylark
What a fish we had on this mornings trip taken on a Skylark Tackle 100mm sawamura shad available at
https://www.skylarktackle.co.uk/product-page/4inch-sawamura-shad-100mm-x3-per-pack
The Cod weighed 20lb 3oz and was 94cm long.
Overall another good trip with some nice clean fillets coming onboard along with plenty of large mackerel some of them were close to 2lb alone
Shads seemed to have the advantage today to keep away from the mackerel a bit but we did catch quite a few mackerel on the shads also.

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s trip was our last day at sea before the big Spring tides start running.
We had just the 3 lads on with us today.
Regular angler Daryll, Jamie and Gary.
We started at the bouy and took around a dozen Mackerel in as many seconds!
Plenty enough for the three of them.
First stop after that was literally 5 minutes from the bouy and straight away the lads were into the fish.
Codling, Pollack and a few other bits and pieces to throw back.
At around 9.30am we ran another mile or so to a little area known as the “Funnel”
The three of them picked steadily until the tide was ripping through too strong giving a drift of nearly two knots.
At 2.0pm we all agreed that we had caught plenty enough and we returned for the 3.0.clock bridge opening.
Best fish going to Jamie, a lovely Cod of 9lbs.
Tally for the four of us, some 60+ fish.
Not bad for just a short trip!!
Cheers lads and hopefully we will see you a week on Thursday when the tides are running nice for us again at 4.6m.
Room for individuals that day if anyone is interested.
Let’s get back at em!!
Cheers
Rich

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
28 Aug 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Catch report aboard sea Urchin over the last few days……apologies for the lack of reports, but I’ve not been feeling brilliant and haven’t been in my usual routine.
Saturday saw a full boat booking for the Milnrow Sea Angling Club, by Paul Whiting, with a lovely group of boys. With a small tide we spent the day on wrecks. The lads fished baited Hokkai’s and Muppet Traces in the main.
We ran North initially, but the wrecks on the Ebb were rubbish. The fish just didn’t seem to be feeding. Heading back to a couple of wrecks in the five mile steam saw things come to life and us put together a few fish for the remainder of the day.
Sunday saw us fish a mix of wrecks and rough ground inside. The conditions on the wrecks were not the easiest with NW winds holding the drift up, but the more experienced anglers caught plenty. We moved to ground hard inside when the tide turned, and caught mainly Codling on a mix of bait and shads.
Monday was spent with a group of regulars and we fished most of the day on the rough ground, close in. We picked up some nice fish during the day, with So Yee Fong taking the best Cod at 9lb 4oz. Bait and Shads produced plenty of bites.
Thanks to all the anglers for their support and apologies for the crap report. I’m away now on a well overdue family holiday for a week. A good time to recharge the batteries while Whitby gets its biggest Spring Tides of the year. View Boats Page
