Report on-board Piscary
Managed to get offshore a bit this weekend for a change and the fishing was very good.Plenty of good Bream ,big Tope,Congers lots of Bullhuss and even early Spurdog!
Just 1 Match on the boat this weekend.The Swan Kings Clear SAC unfortunately they don't have a lot of luck with the weather and although the forecast was reasonable we were greeted with a large southeasterly swell which first forced us back into the harbour,we tried again at sea for the flood tide and although the conditions improved the fishing was a bit slow however they did manage 15 species including Plaice, Bass,Tub Gurnards, Congers Flounder and 3 species of Bream. Top 3 on the day

As always it was great to see Jon and the lads the other day. Just over a week since I'd seen them last but this time it was in Essex chasing bass rather than Devon chasing tuna.
The fishing didn't disappoint and the lads had steady fishing with a mixed stamp of bass throughout the day. 10-15 bass each and some on lures too.
The weather wasn't bad either as you can see.
I've got spaces on general trips and offshore bass trips this week and beyond if you want to join us.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
26 Oct 2024 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A mixed group of regular anglers joined the boat yesterday for some mixed rough ground and wreck fishing.
First stop was a small wreck just 4 miles North from the harbour where the lads took a half dozen fish. Small Codling and Ling on the baited rigs.
A short move of just a mile next, to another bit of scrap which produced a similar amount of fish. Again, nothing of any size.
We moved on again then to another wreck which fished a little better where the group took a dozen or so from it.
Everything so far falling to the baited rigs. Squid bait being the best.
Alan Sutcliffe did try a pink Shad on this wreck and clicked a couple of Codling fair and square which was good to see.
When the fish slowed up we decided to drop on a strip of ground which has a tiny bit of scrap at the North end and the fish started coming aboard much better.
3 doubles boated here and around 25 fish in total. Much better sport for half an hour or so.
We steamed down to our last wreck of the day next, around 5 miles South of our last stop.
Again, nothing startling but we did take fish again. Just half a dozen or so and still, nothing big to shout about.
One last stop on the ground on the 3 mile to finish off, where on one drift the lads took 10 fish in about 2 minutes! A proper mad moment.
A good finish to a pretty good day.
A rough guesstimate, I’d say 60-70 fish for the day which is well satisfactory.
Best Codling today nudging 7lb with Ling to a similar size.
Everyone going off home with happy faces and plenty of fillets for the table.
Cheers lads,
Really appreciate your support as ever.
Rich.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
23 Oct 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After an enjoyable day yesterday, we hit repeat for today’s anglers……. With a crew of mixed angling experience aboard, from brand new to old sweat, it would be great to try and get everyone a few fish.
No two days are ever the same, but today we faced similar conditions, albeit with a stronger breeze, but a smaller tide and less swell, which kind of equalised the two days fishing conditions wise.
Having worked the rough ground yesterday and finding a reasonable number of fish, I aimed to do something similar today. We headed out at first light destined for the five mile ground again.
Today I started in the productive area of the previous day and there were still fish willing to feed. For around ninety minutes we drifted the various ridges and ledges taking mainly strap Ling, small Codling and Haddock, with a few Pouting thrown in. Andy Cooper was aboard today and he likes to use the Pouting as bait. As we covered a nice drop off, one his Pouting baited Hokkai’s was grabbed by something a bit better.
I could tell by the violent head shakes that it was going to be a decent fish. As he was fishing with his line running under the boat, the lads on the other side saw a sizeable Ling coming up before Andy did. With a bit of effort (as it was also tangled in another line) we managed to net the fish which on the scales went 17lb 8oz. Great angling Andy!
We pushed out to the nine mile ground for slack water and drifted along a nice ledge. On the run into slack it fished ok with mainly Ling taking the Squid baits, but slack itself wasn’t great (just like the day before). The first signs of the Ebb saw things pick up again with a good few drifts. By this stage, everyone had a got in on the action and had a few in the box. The average size wasn’t anything to write home about, but there are certainly plenty of fish knocking about. Once the Ebb Tide got up to speed, the sport pretty much dried up.
The wind made it harder than usual today, but with 16oz leads it wasn’t too hard to control the tackle. The lads proved this by consistently taking fish.
Massive thanks to everyone for coming today. Well done. View Boats Page

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We took to sea yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks, after a family break abroad.
The tides had been huge over the last weekend, but were starting to recede a bit to around the 5.2m mark.
With us only having the three lads booked onboard I chose to try Uptiding for the first time since it finished back in March. The tide was still strong enough for it.
The lads were happy to try it and were armed up with squid and black lug worm.
We ran just 3 miles from the harbour to start the day. Slack water was on us when we started and the lads picked just a couple of Pouting and an odd Codling to begin, but as the tide swung round on the ebb they started clicking fish steadily away.
Dave and Joe from Leeds were on board with us for the first time, Joe being on his maiden trip. They had a great day on the fish with Codling to just over 6lb.
Regular Shy-Torque angler Chris from Middlesbrough, taking half a dozen fish home too.
For the first Uptiding trip of the season, I was really pleased with the results, as were the lads. Tally for the 3 lads, around 30 fish with plenty of “chuck backs” too.
The day ended with a big pod of Dolphins passing by and putting on a bit of a show for us for which is always great!
A cracking day all in all.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
22 Oct 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
What a smashing day out at Whitby today. We had a beautiful clear day with plenty of sunshine for the most part.
With huge 6m Spring tides over the weekend, I didn’t want to be out at sea. But today with the tides dropping down, all the lads were keen to get going this morning. I’d explained that it was going to be a 16oz lead day for drifting the rough ground as there was a fresh Westerly breeze blowing. As it turned out, it was perfectly manageable and we could keep in touch with the bottom and keep the fish coming.
First stop was the five mile ground, but the first four drifts produced very little. I moved us to the other end of the ground and we started to find a few fish each drift. Squid was the bait of choice for most, as the Mackerel have drifted away again. Hokkai’s and Muppet traces (shock!) were the end gear just like usual. We had an hour on the five mile taking a mix of Codling, Ling and Haddock. Nothing massive, but a few in the boxes and a few returned.
After a couple of quiet drifts I opted to push out a couple of miles, as we were losing the tide and there was a ledge I wanted to try with a slow drift. That worked ok and we kept ticking over until slack water, when it went very quiet. It wasn’t until the Ebb tide kicked in that we were back in business. The drift line wasn’t perfect with the offshore wind, but every drift we took fish from where I thought they’d be.
For the last couple of hours we ran out to the nine mile ground. We had a good first drift with Dennis Emeny taking the biggest Codling of the day at 7lb 8oz and Nige Snowden taking an 8lb Ling. Matt Snowden took a surprise Octopus which was returned unharmed.
After a duff start, we caught fairly consistently all day, with everyone keeping a few for the freezer and returning plenty as well. Thanks for a thoroughly enjoyable day lads. Good angling View Boats Page
