  • 30/08/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    30 Aug 2023 by Rich Ward

    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

  • 28/08/2023 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.

  • 29/08/2023 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.

  • 28/08/2023 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

    28 Aug 2023 by Scott Belbin

    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.

    28 Aug 2023 by Rich Ward

    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.

  • 27/08/2023 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
