Report on-board Sea Otter 2
Today was the first day of the spring festival the forcast wasnt to bad we sailed at 7am the there was a breeze from the southwest but it wasnt long before the wind dropped away and the sea turned more or less flat today the lethal weapon was once baited shads or squid fished whole on a single hook .
The day got off to a slow start but i assured the lads things can change extremy fast and it did.
We fished out on the 9 mile and picked off some nice codlings but i new where i wanted to be as the tide eased late morning.
the tide today was quite big and through the strength of the tide the fishing was allways going to be better as the tide eased due to the algie in water .
At 9am i decide i decided to go for a cruise to wrecks up the coast but only 4 or 5 miles from the shore as we arrived at the first wreck the wind had allmost gone near on perfect conditions.
a slow drift a few fish came up more or less straight away but i decide to move to the next wreck and it was bingo the first drift all the rods were into fish everybody was pulling in cod we had near on 3 cracking hours fishing again.
All the lads were into fish most of the time we didnt manage to get any monsters today the best going over 9lb but quite a lot of fish around the 7lb mark and loads around 5-6lb plus we had our first pussy cat this year a catfish around the 6lb mark.
all in all the lads had a very nice day it is very early days in the competition there was a much biggier fish lost today and i am sure finger crossed we could see a cod going well into the teens before the end of the competition.
Local lad paul britain an ex trawlerman who is a tool pusher on the rigs paul is now a keen angler and got his first real taste of catching cod on shads he loved it.
One of the lads with a nice brace from today .

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Another mixed group of lads joined us on the 28th and had a great days sport aboard the Shy-Torque III. The fishing on the marks inshore is starting to improve a bit, however we found our best sport on a couple of wrecks some 17 miles to the East of the harbour. Plenty of cod to 8 / 9lb and plenty of pollack too. Best pollack being one of Alan Wards ( pictured ) from Whitby at 9lb. Cheers lads and we'll see you all again soon.

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
Had a team of lads on from preston today shawn glovers party the lads are now regulars aboard sea-otter 2 and they just seem to hit it right but i must say these lads can catch fish and today they proved once again when the fishing is good they take full advantage.
Shads was the lethal weapon today squid fished with 1lb lead was ok but it was shads that give the boys all the glory we hit a few wrecks on the 4 mile stream the fishing was steady but it was the afternoon when the flood tide came through when the fishing really came on the lads were knocking cod out on the shad upto 10lb but most of the fish were between 5-6lb not a bad stamp of fish the lads had a great day and are back in two weeks time for hopefully some more fun.

Had a mixed group of lads on today and decided to have a look out on the 20mile the forcast was supposed to be spot on but as usuall we had a good breeze from the northwest first thing just make things a bit bumpy.
We had a nice steady ride out i said to the lads the wind would drop away soon when we arrived out on the 20 mile the wind did just the opposit and freshned even more white water everywhere i was thinking this cant last for long anyway i set the boat up over the wreck and told the lads to drop down most of the lads had shads on a mixture of hollowbellys and storm shads the first drif most of rods were bent over as the cod attacked the the lures more or less instantly for the first dozen of so drifts it was cod which were showing in the back of mind i was thinking pollock they cant be far away no sooner had the thought entered my head and one of the lads was shouting for the gaff a cracking pollock was on the surface when isaw the fish i new it was another double figure pollock a lovelly fish going just under 12lb then the next drift up came another cracker this one was one just over 10lb by now the wind had all but gone the sea had dropped more or less flat overall the really nice day with some really nice cod and once again those double figure pollock.
2 of the lads with the best pollock of the day and a couple of cod out of there catch . View Boats Page

Brian and his huge Pollacks
Had Brian Cope on and his partner Sunday along with 9 lads from sheffield the weather was perfect for a run off to the distant wrecks and the long journey proved worth while plenty of cod but the best sport was with the pollack which are showing more and more this time of the year here in Whitby Brian managed a cracking fish of just over 15lbs along with a few more well over 10lb the 15 lber is a new pollack record for sea urchin II over the last few years they seem to be getting bigger our previous best was 13lb last year lets hope this is the future because the sport they offer is absolutely fantastic View Boats Page

After Saturdays poor inshore fishing possibly due to the murky sea and swell combined Sundays trip had to be another long off shore wrecking haul but boy was it worth it for Brian Cope who beat his personal best with a marvelous Pollock of just over 15lb also I might add a Sea Urchin best ever Pollock
the boat was mainly full of novice anglers who also caught plenty of cod on the bait but the pollock were the main sport I think Brian landed four all over 10lb and one around 13lb I managed to land one just over 8lb in between untangling and re rigging the novice boys from Sheffield but a great day and well worth the trip out the festival looks to me like a pollock winner allthough we did see a double figure ling as well on the boat Sunday but my money is on the pollock in this years spring festival lets just hope the weather stays fine View Boats Page

Well we have had some monster tides this last week and once again an early agie bloom is well under way the cod fishing today wasnt brilliant due to the algie bloom but there was still cod coming aboard we still have very big tides which are on there way down but it was pollock which showed there hand today with some really nice fish.
The lads started with shads for the cod but it was obvious they werent attacking them but we still manged a few nice fish so i got the lads on on worms and sidewinders then the fun began the pollock came steady and the best going just over 13lb a cracking fish mick hollingworth came out on top with his personal best pollock all in all the lads really enjoyed the pollock fishing and cant wait for another bash small tides this weekend the cod fishing could explode.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A very frosty morning greeted us on Friday just gone. Usually perfect conditions after a keen frost but sadly we had a NW breeze for most of the day which hampered the fishing for us. However during the period over slack water we did manage to find a good number of codling to the 7lb mark on a few of the inshore wrecks. Most of them falling to the squid bait. The hokkais also taking a few fish. Nothing on the shad on the day which was strange after the previous few trips where they had been working well. Anyway the main thing is is that the fish are still showing here at Whitby and the signs for the season are looking very good indeed !!

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
Yesterday had a group of lads who work for john lewis from manchester never reall done a serious wrecking before and hadnt seen cod into double figures before well yesterday they werent dissapointed we have had a northerly swell running for a few days and in time the water clarity does drop and bait rather than lures especially shads this time of year which normally fish extremly well but today it was squid which did the damage.
The tides are extremly small perfect for inshore wrecking whitby has many many wrecks within 5 miles of shore up and down the coast and at this time of year they a stuffed with cod we started on wreck at 5 miles and the lads went straight into fish a nice few cod and one or two ling after about an hour the fishing dropped away the water clarity wasnt as i would like it so i decide to move off to the 10 mile where i new the clarity would be better we started on rough ground and it mike the organizer who nailed a really plump cod which tipped the scale at 13lb he was over the moon a personal best talk the lads were now keen as mustard you could hear a pin drop we worked the ground till the tide stared to ease the lads were getting some really nice cod up and around the 6or 7lb mark i said its time to go and have a crack on another wreck we will bait fish the wreck with squid .
I decided to drop a shad down to check if the cod were taking them but it was squid once again which the cod wanted and it was jamie whos turn it was to get a double his fish also was tipping the scales between 12-13lb another plump fish the lads fished very steady for the next 3hours bringing some really nice cod onboard they were exstatic a cracking day they were very happy they all ended with some lovelly sized cod .
Mike the organizer won the day with the biggist.
