Report on-board Brigand
A 4am post because that is just about the only time we have to do it - we have been super-busy!
Offhsore wrecking yesterday and a pleasure to welcome father & Son Mark & Alex who travelled down to us from glorious N.Wales in search of Cod & Pollock, they were not disappointed and really pleased to see them heading back home with both after a beautiful day at sea. The fishing machine which is Simon Clark was also with us and landed Cod, Pollock and Bass ...... nothing new there!
Fantastic to see the offshore wreck fishing remaining so consistent this late.
A well needed break for us coming up with some family & friends time planned - just need to get through the next couple of days which consist of 1 Offshore trip and 5 inshore trips. Busy is good, manic not so good!
Best wishes

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A proper damp and squibby day today for our two Chinese contingents from Leeds and Scunthorpe yesterday.
Fortunately there was no wind to speak of which was a blessing on these mid range tides.
We started the day looking for the Mackerel, to no avail. Birds feeding all over the place on the way out but nothing under the feed at all.
We decided to try a couple of bits of scrap during the first slack water period between 8.30am and 9.30am and took a dozen or so Codling and Ling from those.
As the ebb tide pushed through and strengthened and the drift speed increased quickly, we chose to run to a strip of ground 7 miles off.
Immediately, the lads were pulling strings of Mackerel up on everything that went in the water!!
Plenty of Haddock there too.
I personally worked a 4” pink shad for 3 drifts and took a dozen keepers! These will be very welcome on the table over the next few days. Love Haddock!!
As the tide eased back again for the second slack water of the day, we moved in to another piece of wreckage where the lads took another 8 Cod from it.
Tally for the day, a very reasonably 100 fish to keep. 30 or 40 of those being (“keeper” Haddock!)
Tony from Leeds taking the best of the day on his last drop. A lovely Cod of 9lb 15oz.
This has now gone into the lead for June’s heaviest fish of the month on the Shy-Torque III where the winner gets a free trip for their efforts.
Cheers for now chaps,
Rich

Report on-board Galloper
We have seen some nice bass coming out at times over the last few trips. they have shown on general, offshore and land of no fish trips and in various sizes and numbers. On our general trips worm is definitely helping and we can provide them on the boat care of Colchester bait and tackle if you pre-order. Further afield they have shown on fish baits and lures too. Please let me know if you wish to be added to the list for offshore trips over the coming months or if you fancy a full boat booking for specific species such as bass, tope, plaice or turbot.
I have individual spaces and possibility of full boat bookings over the coming weeks and months if you want to get out.
Remember it is often worth giving me a shout if you are cancelled else where and still wish to get out, as we have lots of sheltered fishing available and a big catamaran which makes it even more comfortable.

Headed south of the Tyne today to try a selection of wrecks. Fishing was steady with most marks producing a variety of species including cod, ling, pollock, mackerel and a few haddock. Most of the cod were in the 3 - 5lbs range but Michael Hawkin too the glory with a cod of 15lbs 5oz, a PB. Congrats Michael.

Report on-board Mistress
Catch report 16th & 17th June
Hi guys we've had a couple of belting days at sea this rotation.
On Friday the tides were starting to lift from neaps and was showing a 5.1m on the tide tables. I was sure the inshore wrecks had already taken a battering from the whitby fleet already, so I decided to visit some ground marks I've not visited since I started back up again
To be fair everywhere we stopped we took fish, the rods were busy all day, baited hokkais and shads were taking the fish, with a good number of double shots through the day. I started edging towards some wreckage as the tide eased but the lads were still taking a good picking on the ground so we fished on through slack, and dodged the wrecks.
We never had any big fish but we took plenty of them, with the lads amassing 70-80 keeper Cod, Ling, Haddock and Mackerel with loads of throw backs.
On Saturday the tides built further but with having such a good day friday we went back to the same area. Despite several passes on the ground the fishing was slow! I started hunting around and covered a few miles before heading back into the 3 mile stream.
I marked a ledge that suprisingly I've never marked before in all my years at sea, with a few passes I had it marked up on my maxsea,
We started fishing it and with every pass over it we were getting 3-4 rods in to cod. We managed 30 odd codling off that ledge so I carried on working tight to features on the ground taking more fish.
The lads asked me to fillet up them so we got back in early, looking through the boxes the 5 lads had had a good day again, taking 50 keeper Cod & Haddock, plus a bonus gorilla tub Mackerel.
Obviously the lads were delighted both days and its been a pleasure being at sea with everyone, In such great weather!
If you fancy a trip with me, my availability is pinned to the top of my facebook page, my number is 07977 436 903, if you cant get hold of me please give me a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you asap.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The tides are running quite strong inshore at present so we chose the offshore marks to start the day yesterday.
We ran to a group of four wrecks on the 20 mile stream. Just two of them producing fish for us.
No big fish to talk about but some real nice chunky Codling for the lads.
The shad seemed to work better than the baited rigs with the brighter ones doing the damage.
To finish the day off we ran to some ground marks and picked a further few Codling and Ling up.
Wind over tide created a drift at the end of the day which was basically unmanageable so home it was.
On the day, Codling, Ling, Haddock, and a nice sprinkling of Mackerel too which are always welcome.
The mixed group of lads enjoying a nice nice day at sea with us.
Cheers lads and see you all again soon.
