Fishing Report by Geoff Sharp

Report on-board Sweet William
Massive thanks to the guys for the run out yesterday; they stuck with us through both the good and the tough days, and were rewarded with flat seas, sunshine and some cracking fishing!
They say the apple never falls from the tree, and after Daz caught an almost double figure cod recently, he brought his son Hugo to what all the fuss was about. Hugo didn't waste any time to secure his position in the pecking order, and top rod for the day, by knocked into a lovely Ling of just shy of 12lb! It looks like Daz has some catching up to do :-) Between them both they had almost 20lb of fillets for the pan!
Warren and his brother were literally non stop once we hit the wrecks, and between them, after a 1 hour two man filleting session on the run home, had almost 30lb of fillets for the pan.
Mark was finding fantastic codling and Ling all day, and might also need a bigger freezer!
Shaun was given the name the ‘silent assassin’, as he didn’t have much time to chat between hauling them in pretty much non-stop on the shads!
Of course the First Mate didn’t feel like missing out on the party, and put his new rod gifted by Kingie, and new reel from Billy’s Fishing Tackle to work; safe to say it definitely works and that low speed setting came into its own. I’ve got some filleting to do myself later!
The saying goes that no two days are the same; we had tough day last Wednesday with only one decent codling boated and buckets of pollock, it was steady but challenging on Saturday with a mixed bag, and then yesterday produced very few pollack and hundreds of codling. Warren went around weighing a substantial proportion of the fish out of interest, and the average stamp was approximately 4.5lb.
Once again thanks to the lads for great craic yesterday!

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a week away at a mates wedding we returned to sea yesterday on a absolute “flat calmer”
The tide running fairly strong on a 5.4m, the vote was to run offshore to the outer ground marks.
Fishing was by no means hectic but a reasonably steady picking throughout the day for the lads.
A good species day too with 10 different ones boated. Codling, Ling, Haddock, Pollack, Whiting, Norwegian Haddock, Pouting, Coaley, Gurnard and we also had our very first Mackerel of the year!!
Summertime is coming at last!
An hour before we set off for home I also caught sight of a Tuna breaching some 250 yards from the boat!
We will be looking into having a go for them sometime soon as well. Can’t wait for that.
Cheers for now and enjoy this cracking weather wherever you are. Tight lines.
Room for a few this coming Wednesday if you fancy a run out.

Fishing Report by Nick Gough
on Skylark (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Skylark
Photos from today's 8hr inshore trip
Best fish today was a Pollock just over 6lb with many cod around the 3 to 4lb area.
Young Theo aged 13 also showed everyone how to catch early on catching his first ever cod then managed to catch a few more
Great to see jigging starting to work again and the water showing signs of clearing just the may water to burn off and artificials should be dynamite again.
Best bait and rig today was squid strips on baited feathers.
Brilliant day to be at sea with the sun shinning the sea like a mill pond and great company.
Cheers lads hope you all enjoy the box of fish View Boats Page

Report on-board Sweet William
Massive thanks to the lads for coming from as far away as London for a run out today.
The day started off with a chill in the air, shrouded in a thick blanket of fog which lasted until mid-afternoon, until the sun finally burnt through. The south easterly swell seemed to have lingered on making it uncomfortable at times.
We started on the inner rough grounds and there were codling, pouting and coalies, but still no mackerel even on some of the favoured inshore shoaling wrecks.
The first few wrecks started slow, with the lads picking away at pouting, whiting, coalies, pollock and codling.
Once the tide started to flood, it was good to see the codling turn back on again in numbers after a notable absence a few days ago.
Nothing particularly noteworthy came aboard, other than a single Ling weighing in at just shy of 8lb (which isn’t too bad here for this time of year).
It was good to get back towards the Tyne later in the afternoon and continue to pick away at codling in the sunshine and calmer seas! View Boats Page

Report on-board Sweet William
Massive thanks to Royal Quays Marina for a late notice overnight hang and hold, and 68 Marine Solutions for their trademark last minute evening shift yesterday!
We were dropped back in at 8:00am, and immediately picked up Ash and the guys who had travelled up from Barnsley for a run out today.
We set off to glorious conditions; flat seas and sunshine and it felt promising!
Not long after we had exited the Tyne piers, the light offshore breeze turned to the South East and began to slowly build throughout the day.
The first stop off consisted of a quick check for mackerel, as usual, but produced nothing; the first wreck give up a lovely pollack just shy of 6lb (no more debating weights for the sweeps on the new Reuben Heaton scales accurate to 1/500).
This set the tone for the remainder of the day; the guys fishing shads caught numerous lovely pollack also up to the 6lb mark. One decent codling came aboard weighing approx. 3 / 4 lb, and the remainder ranged from small to thumb size! Not a single Ling aboard throughout the entire day.
We headed home trying out a good number of the inner rough grounds, and again, the codling were smaller than the hooks :-)!
Cracking but incredibly challening run out, the lads fished hard up until late afternoon; and look forward to seeing them again soon. View Boats Page

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

Report on-board Galloper
The smooth-hounds have been showing in great numbers so far this year. Our best trip so far was very busy with me clocking 116 smooth-hounds for the day although I am sure I didn’t get them all. There were a few double figure fish mixed in there but the majority were smaller. Some of the biggest fish fell to Cem, Richard, Kevin and Nick. As usual they provided great sport on light tackle as did the rays, bass, whiting and dogfish we caught that day.
Nick was also pleased to catch his first bass, not a bad way to start either at over 4lbs. I’m sure he would have been satisfied with the 2-3lber he had later in the day as his first one! Nick has been out with us a lot the last few weeks and seems to be reaping the rewards with decent days on rays, hounds, plaice and bass to his name. it’s always nice to be part of somebodies angling journey and nick is certainly putting in the effort.
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.
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.
Spaces as follows
26/05- tope trip 4 spaces @ £100pp (own tackle required bait supplied at extra cost)
27/05-tope trip 1 space @ £100pp (own tackle required bait supplied at extra cost)
