Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
25 May 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We’ve kept plugging away the last three days. To be honest, it’s been great to finally string a few days together, with anglers who I’ve had to cancel for bad weather on countless occasions recently.
Unfortunately, nothing much has changed in terms of the fishing. We’ve continued with plenty of bites from small Codling, Haddock, Whiting and Ling on the rough ground.
We tried a few inshore wrecks today, with an odd fish from each one, but they’re definitely not ripe for the picking yet. The anglers have been fantastic company and very patient as we’ve kept on the move looking to find a better fish here and there.
To summarise, we’ve had a couple of better size fish each day, but they were definitely the exception and not the rule. The biggest going 7lb 8oz from a wreck we tried this morning.
There have been a couple of “Scout” Mackerel caught on other boats, so the clock is ticking…..a huge thanks to the lads this week. The banter has been great.

Report on-board Skylark
Photos from todays 6 hour trip
Another cracking day with a really good stamp of fish showing.
Many of the customers today have never fished before but we soon got them into it.
A good amount of fish over 5lb which is always great to see
Best fish today was a Cod just under 8lb. But we also some some cracking Pollock close to the same weight.
Fishing was non stop today even with the water still been slightly coloured.
The customers today all caught a couple of cod with some doing better than others
All great company and nice to meet some new anglers to the sport

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Nothing much to report about on yesterday’s trip.
Plenty of small Codling and Haddock “chuck backs” with probably only 20 fish to keep for the day.
That’s how it goes sometimes.
The baited Hokkai rigs fishing the best for the lads.
Hoping for something better over the next few days as the neaps are back with us again.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Greg Bishop
on The Kraken (Brighton, East Sussex)
23 May 2023 by Greg Bishop
Report on-board The Kraken
A challenging day with the tide and wind fighting each other but a great afternoon with a fantastic group on board. The day started with Bass and a couple for the table. This was followed by an elusive search for Bream not helped by the conditions. We picked up a lovely Plaice and some good sized Mackerel. A tough day but plenty of fun and laugher together with some nice fish made for a great day out.

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
22 May 2023 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
This week I thought I would take a look back at last years tope fishing and remind you that we have spaces over the next 6-8 weeks tope fishing offshore aboard the Galloper. I wont take beginners off there so you will need to be experienced with your own tackle for these trips. I have plenty of availability on general trips for everybody else.
We managed a good few tope trips in 2022, many Pb’s were broken and as usual several good fish lost too. After a few smaller fish the first decent tope of the year was a nice male of 43lb. our next trip was a few weeks later but the fish were still there and Mick had the biggest of the day at 43lbs. the bigger fish proved elusive for a couple of trips but by the time Tonys group joined us they were feeding well. Kevin had two over 40lb before 10am(44lbs and 43lbs). Graham had the next big girl weighing in at 44lbs followed by Tony with a fish of 35lb and several smaller pack tope mixed in.
The following trip was the busiest of the year with a total of 14 for the day. this consisted of several pack fish some in the 7-12lb range. A few between 20-35lb and a brace of 41lb fish for Barry and Charlie. Rolf topped the day off with a cracking fish just shy of 50lb (I gave him 49.8lb). caught on his spare rod (a tubertini continental match rod) which he was using while he re-tackled his uptider. We wont forget that one in a hurry! Interestingly Rolf had been out with me just two days before fishing the same area when we had struggled to find any decent fish. I always appreciate being given a second chance and what a pay off for him!
As ever Ian Hewett put in some serious time and effort with us. not least when he hired the boat to himself for a days tope fishing. it wasn’t thick and fast but after Ian had checked his knots by dragging in a heavy bundle of tangled rope, wire and weed we were confident his gear could stand up to the fish. we did find a few fish in the afternoon and Ian boated 4 tope and lost one. A brace of 30’s and a brace of 40’s which I think we were both pleased with.
Please get on touch with me for full boat bookings or individual spaces. I can also add you to my messaging list when I am trying to put offshore trips together. Please note that Galloper is a big, fast catamaran with a genuine 60mile code of practice. Not something many local boats can boast these days. All of this helps with our offshore trips and very few local boats can boast a a success rate like ours either.
The hounds will be inshore in numbers until September and we should see plenty more good days and decent fish between now and then.
I have plenty of spaces on general trips for full boat bookings and individuals. I also have spaces for tope, plaice and bass coming up soon so please get in touch.
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.

26/05- tope trip 4 spaces @ £100pp (own tackle required bait supplied at extra cost)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Sunday 21st May.
Another beautiful day for us yesterday with our mixed group of lads.
We chose to get away from the faster running tide and headed offshore again to give the lads a better chance of catching.
Like the day before, the catch rate wasn’t anything special but everyone caught.
Glenn Stocks and Nick managed 16 fish between them.
One of my old motorcycling mates Graham Soloman managed 8 for himself too, with Cod to a shade over 7lbs. A deceptively stocky Codling!
All in all it was a good outing and the banter was even better!
Tally for the day 40 odd fish to keep with lots returns too.
Cheers
