Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
29 Aug 2023 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
They say that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place.
Well, it stuck for the third time in the same place for us yesterday. Unreal!
Saturday gone-Exceptional days fishing.
Sunday-Fantastic days fishing
Yesterday-Another fantastic days fishing.
In fact, the last couple of days were basically a carbon copy of each other.
The only thing that was different was the different faces aboard.
One of those faces being that of Holly Stewart, an old friend from West Yorkshire who now lives in NZ.
She was visiting her parents in Huddersfield for a month and came across for a days fishing.
She’s mad bonkers about angling and spends a lot of her time in NZ on the water.
A few tips from Fergus on how to catch our kinds of fish and she was off and running.
Holly catching on the shads and the baited rigs and ending up with a dozen or more fish for herself. Fabulous!!
The rest of the group which included Glenn and Nick who fished with us on Sunday too, fished their socks off as well.
Nick and Glenn gathering another full box of prime Codling again.
Mark Davenport and his dad Brian who were newbies to us also having a great day with a “slack box” of fish between them.
Paul from Brid who also fished with us over the Bank holiday weekend knocking 16 fish out for himself.
I managed a few drops myself and knocked out a quick dozen too.
Two of our Chinese customers, Henry and Simon also fishing well.
Henry won the July “fish of the month” prize of a free trip on the Shy-Torque III and used that on yesterday’s trip.
Henry landed a lovely Cod of 13lbs to win that.
Poor “decky” Fergus having no time for a go, with all the help needed getting the fish safely aboard!
All in all another fantastic day on the water with superb craic and banter!
Holly joining in with the great humour aboard too. A true sport!!
The majority of the catch today came at the end of the day when the tide eased back on the flood.
Tally for the day today nudging around the 90-100 mark.
Well done to all who fished with us.
A great day!!
Cheers
Rich.

Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)
28 Aug 2023 by Nick Gough
Report on-board Skylark
We set off at 8am this morning and the winds were alot stronger than expected but we pushed through it and ended up again with not a bad day at all.
A good stamp of fish showing around the 3 to 5lb area with some huge mackerel and a few better size pollock
As we fished our last mark of the day a large pod of bottle nose dolphins made a show before we headed back.
Our second trip of the day was a 3 hour which we decided to travel back to where was fishing before and get the first of the ebb. When arriving the tide just hadn't got there yet but as soon as it did the mackerel were back on and a few cod coming over the rails
We did get a better cod on this trip weighing 7lb 2oz
Unfortunately we didn't see the dolphins this trip but all the customers were happy with their bags of fish to take home View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
We have continued to see some cracking hound's lately. There have been good numbers and a great average when we get among them. Although we catch them in various sizes and amounts throughout the year nowadays the main run of decent fish will draw to a close soon. I would say that this set of tides will likely be their last good showing of the year. Of course the bass continue to show and they are building in numbers on several of the offshore banks. I have spaces this week aboard Galloper from brightlingsea Essex for individuals and full boat bookings. so please contact me to book.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Another belting day on the Cod today for our mixed team of lads yesterday.
A nice quick stop at the bouy for the Mackerel again and enough for the full team in 5 minutes. Some big Mackerel again too.
We marched back to a similar area we fished with yesterday’s team and things were a bit slow to start off, with just a few fish here and there.
Fortunately there are an abundance of ground marks where we have been working and the rest of the day saw us hopping from ledge to ledge, peak to peak, picking a few fish up everywhere we stopped.
As the tide eased back towards the end of the working day, we moved to another little spot to finish off and the fishing went mad!
More beautiful fresh run Codling/Cod for the lads with a couple of drifts giving them fish to 9lbs. A few doubles coming up too.
The Shads outfished the bait by a long way today but the baited rigs also taking some nice fish.
The quality of the fish over the last day or two has been great. Really healthy/fit fish giving the lads some fun moments.
Glenn Stocks and his son in law Nick took a good full box of fish between them as did father and son team Jeff and Jim McNeil.
Everyone taking plenty of lovely prime fish home for the table.
Tally for the day today, around 100 fish.
Excellent sport for the lads again and the banter was exceptional again too!
Cheers lads and we’ll see you all again soon.

Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)
27 Aug 2023 by Nick Gough
Report on-board Skylark
Another great day out today this time on the Cod
First Mark we went to produced a good few codlings and a cracking 12lb 6oz cod with a load of jumbo size mackerel.
Shads and baited hokkias seamed to work the best today on every mark we went to producing a nice stamp of fish. Overall everyone caught a cod which is always a bonus
Then as we steamed back we were greeted by a load of bottle nose Dolphins just off marine drive
Our 3 hour trip with all new anglers was also as successful as we steamed out we managed to find the same pod of dolphins heading out.
As for the fishing it was pretty much instant with some really nice plump mackerel, a few pouting and again some nice cod occasionally coming over the side.
We did get a single showing of a minke whale also just as we headed in View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
27 Aug 2023 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Regular angler Darryl Machant and his five mates, Mick, Les, Eric, Che and old Stevie chartered the boat today.
Love it when a smaller group charter the boat for themselves.
The baited rigs have been out fishing the artificials of late for our lads so we gathered the Mackerel on the rock top before we headed out.
Whilst we were gathering the bait I noticed a load of birds feeding in a frenzy about a mile South of us, so we decided to give it a go on the inshore shallow marks to start the day. These marks are no deeper than 60ft and often even shallower!!
Straight into fish!
First fish on board taken by Darryl. A nice little Pollack.
Three or four short passes across the ridge giving the lads around 15 fish to keep.
A nice start to the day.
A short move further South next, to an area my crewman Fergus likes to work with his mate Ryan on his little boat in the Summertime.
Again, the lads were hitting the Cod on each drift. A lot of throwbacks, but a steady three or four to keep each pass for four or five drifts.
Then the black monsters arrived and spoilt the party like yesterday and the fishing went dead.
We steamed down a few miles further to a small piece of scrap to try escape the pesky seals.
None to be seen anywhere thank goodness!!
We stayed on this last mark for the rest of the day where the lads took over 70 fish from it!!
Best fish falling to Eric. A lovely Cod of 10lb 8oz. Well done to him! Excellent sport in shallow water!!
Best part about today was, apart from two “Bootlace” Ling and one Pollack, every fish taken was a Codling/Cod.
Without a doubt, the best day of the year so far with over 120 fish boated!
Oh, just to say that, because we had seasoned anglers on today, young Fergus and me also had chance to work the rods ourselves too, which is always a bonus.
I had 15 fish to keep myself, my best going around 8.5lbs.
Fergus however fished like a handcuffed crab today! Hope you’re reading this Paul Mawson!! ��
Excellent banter with these lads as always and an extremely pleasurable day with perfect conditions and brilliant sport.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.
