Fishing Report by Geoff Sharp
on Sweet William (Tyne, Tyne and Wear)
30 Apr 2023 by Geoff Sharp
Report on-board Sweet William
We departed the Royal Quays Marina at 7:00am to glassy conditions on the River Tyne; no sooner than we’d got out of the piers an uncomfortable south easterly swell made its presence known.
We had wind, rain showers, fog, cold snaps, and occasionally sunshine for the majority of the day until late afternoon!
The first few wrecks proved quite slow until we got a fair way off, and Paul landed a lovely Pollack weighing 8.1 lb to start the sweep off!
The fishing got progressively better once the tide started to flood, and some lovely Cod, small Ling, Coalies, Pouting and a solid number of smaller Codling came aboard throughout the afternoon.
Hats off to the the lads for braving the conditions; they kept at it relentlessly, pretty much non-stop, for the entire day, other than a running pit-stop for snacks and coffee.
Daz must have been keeping his powder dry, as no sooner than I said we had about 10 minutes left he knocked into a 9.15 lb Cod to take the sweep. The digital scales were flashing onto the 10 lb mark but stayed mainly below the double and the First Mate had the final say :-)
Fantastic banter all day long with some cracking fish for the pan

Report on-board The Kraken
A fantastic days Bream fishing at Kingsmere produced some superb fish.
Steve from Brigand Charters was kind enough to fill in for me skippering at late notice and they couldn’t have been in better hands. Great weather (for once) allowed us to head to Kingsmere rocks in quick time. Straight into the fish which are top quality at the moment. Everyone had a great time with these hard fighting fish and easily filled our quota.
Headed back for a few hours inshore fishing which is still a bit scratchy with just a smooth hound single bream and the dreaded doggies showing up.
A great group of blokes on board, thanks for joining us.
Don’t miss out on these fantastic bream trips they won’t stay for much longer in these size and numbers. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sweet William
We were up against it today; half of the full party broke down on the motorway and unfortunately ended up homeward bound to Manchester.
This left the lads aboard with no bait, so we headed out for a full day on the Tyne wrecks hoping to find some bait early.
The first three wrecks produced nothing noteworthy, but finally we found some pouting, which turned the day around. The next wreck started to produce some lovely Codling and by 11:00am, we stopped for a break, and had a quick group photo whilst the fish were still fresh.
After a few refreshments we headed onwards, and more Codling began to appear, including a couple of small Ling and Pollack which was nice to see this early in the year.
The confused sea state, and the wind, thankfully began to ease off in the afternoon, prior to the long run home with a lazy following sea.
Hats off to the guys for keeping at it pretty much non stop; against all odds we had a great run out with good banter and plenty of fish for the pan! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today was the first day out on Sea Urchin for almost a fortnight, after yet another spell of pants weather….
Today saw a mixed group of anglers ready to have a go. With it being a weekend, we de-conflicted with the other boats, as to where we were all going and we ran out to a wreck at 12 miles to start the day. First drift through saw Stan Matthews’ rod go over and he winched up a nice double shot of Codling. We wrongly (as it turned out) thought we might fill up with a few fish, considering the early positive signs.
We persevered with the wreck through slack and waited for the flood to come. We picked off another few fish, but reluctantly called it a day and moved on as the bites never increased on the change of tide.
We tried another two wrecks for one small Haddock and a couple of Pouting. After that, we ran into the nine mile ground and spent the remainder of the day drifting the rough ground. We caught a few fish each drift for the remainder of the flood tide (Codling, Ling, Haddock, Whiting, Pouting), nothing to set the world on fire, but the action stopped once we lost the Flood tide.
We ended what was for me, yet another disappointing day, on a wreck; but pleasingly, Gaz Townend managed to pull up a couple of Codling to end the day.
I won’t try and and “dress up” another well below par day on Sea Urchin. I’m very grateful to the anglers who keep me going out to sea. I really hope the fishing improves soon and I can get on some fish. View Boats Page

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a slow start on a couple of offshore wrecks this morning and only 4 fish boated, we decided to focus a bit a ground/reef fishing for a change.
Tides at present are perfect for the scrap to be fair, but the fish weren’t playing for us on them.
It was a wise move to try the ground marks as they fished really quite well.
The shads were taking a good number of the smaller fish but the baited rigs were taking much stronger fish.
Local laddy, Fergus Powell landed a lovely Ling of 11lb 8oz on a 12-20lb class Ugly Stick. Great sport for him with that one!!
Mark Errington from Darlington taking the best Cod of the day at 9lb 12oz.
My old mate Derek Wiggins from Leeds taking a lovely 12 fish for himself. His best, a nice Ling of 11lb.
Rob Waterworth from Bradford had a nice day on the Codling too boating 11 keepers for himself plus other bits. Rob was leading the Shy-Torque “fish of the month” with a 7lb 12oz Ling until today. We are giving a free trip to the person who lands the heaviest fish in any month up to and including October.
Craig Booth from Leeds pipped him today with a nice Ling of 12lb 12oz and wins himself a free trip as we are cancelling tomorrows trip.
Well done to him.
Room on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
All in all a great day (apart from the cold!) and thanks for the good company chaps.
Cheers for now,
Rich
