Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After a week off for poor weather and big tides, it was good to get back on the water again yesterday with our team of East European lads.
Rich Horobrov (past Summer festival winner with us) and his mates enjoyed a fabulous day weather wise with some steady fishing too.
The day started out chasing the Mackerel, which to be fair were a bit elusive at the beginning but they did show in great numbers a bit further out.
Ground fishing started the day off with three or four good drifts on the Codling and Haddock. 25-30 fish taken there with some bonny Haddock too!
We then chose to run to a couple of wrecks offshore to work over the slack water period.
No great shakes from those to be honest with just a couple of dozen fish boated.
Tony taking the best fish on the boat, a Ling, an ounce or so under 9lbs.
Not a big fish by any stretch but it did however take first overall in the daily’s and won him £50.00.
Well done to him!
The Summer competition has just 7 days to go and with the tides falling off to the neap range we are hoping to drag something a little bigger out to challenge the current leading fish.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
What a cracking day out…..with a cracking group of lads. Although it was a good wrecking tide, we had a brisk South Westerly forecast, so I felt there would be limited time on the wrecks (if any).
I gave the anglers booked on, the option of coming through or not, as some anglers don’t seem to like fishing close in, under the cliffs; which is where we head to when the wind is off land. This affords us some protection from the elements and allow us to fish, when otherwise we would have to cancel a trip. Three lads decided to drop out, so we sailed with seven this morning.
After getting a few Mackerel from the Bell Buoy, we ran south and had a stop on a nice piece of rough ground off Robin Hoods Bay. Baited Hokkai’s were dispatched and we had a couple of Codling each drift, nothing fantastic.
We set off, heading further south, when I noticed the wind had backed off a little. It was an opportunity to have a look on a wreck, so we adjusted course and dropped on one nearby.
The wreck gave us a good few Codling to 5lb on the run into slack water, 2-3 each drift kept things interesting. Muppet traces baited with squid or Mackerel landed them all. After the Flood tide came through, the wind lifted, so we ran back inside to finish the remainder of the day under the cliffs.
It turned out to be a good move, with the area we settled on being very productive for the last three hours. Everyone caught well, with a good stamp of lovely clean 4-6lb Codling. Baited Hokkai’s did plenty of Codling, but Jason Sheilds was the star of the show today, clumping them on Shads. He put together a lovely box of quality Codling and threw back a good few as well.
All in all, it was a brilliant day out and one which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks lads. View Boats Page

The Summer Competition started here at Whitby last Saturday.
We’ve been that busy, that this is the first time we’ve had chance to report.
To be honest, last Saturday wasn’t very good at all with a poor catch rate for Brian Cunningham and his team. Around 20 fish boated that’s all.
Sunday was a bad weather day which gave us some time to get caught up with a few jobs on the boat.
Back at it on Monday with Alan Brown and his four mates who chartered the boat for themselves for four days.
Monday, like yesterday was a very “average” day on the water with a fresh WNW breeze which hindered us somewhat with just a handful of fish for each of the lads.
Tuesday and Wednesday however dropped perfectly for the lads and Alan, the two Brians, Steve and Pete enjoyed some cracking fishing with perfect conditions too!
Both days we ran offshore to wrecks out to 28 miles and both days the lads boated well in excess of 70 fish!
No daily prize winners or festival leaders but some lovely Cod to 9lbs and Ling to 12lbs boated.
The lads taking enough fillets with them to last them till the next competition!!
Cheers to everyone who has fished with us so far in this years competition.
A few windy days ahead of us after today, so might get a chance to grab a well deserved drink or two!!
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We had a brilliant day out at sea today. I’d booked the boat and had six friends on, who are all seasoned anglers.
With it being a small neap tide, it was always going to be a day wreck hopping. We started with a fruitless Mackerel hunt for half an hour, then got stuck into a few inshore wrecks. With the Flood tide running into slack water, the first wreck produced a good number of fish to the anglers fishing muppet bait traces with a whole Squid on.
It wasn’t until the Ebb tide came through that the Shads really kicked in. Ian Kellock and Ian Steadman both picked up a decent stamp of Codling averaging over 4lb, with the biggest one going 8lb.
Today we got what we had been lacking of late……consistency. We never had a quiet period at all today, but that is largely down to the ability of the lads, who certainly know how to catch them.
By mid afternoon, the fish were being thrown back as everyone had enough to take home. It was one of those days I really enjoy….. great company, great banter and great fishing.
Thanks lads, it was a blast. View Boats Page

We sailed just Friday and Saturday at the end of this week, after saying our final goodbyes to a great friend and work colleague on Wednesday. Our good friend Pete Rose was a true gent and all round great bloke. R.I.P mate. You will be greatly missed. ❤️
Both Friday and Saturday fished reasonably well with some nice plump Codling boated.
The water is properly like gin now and some of the more inshore marks are producing too now which is great to see. Shads working everywhere now too.
The Summer competition is now underway here at Whitby so we will be trying the wrecks with the fresh baits, trying to lure a big Ling or Cod from one of them.
Fingers crossed for anyone and everyone who takes part in this year’s event.
Cheers for now,

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A proper damp and squibby day today for our two Chinese contingents from Leeds and Scunthorpe yesterday.
Fortunately there was no wind to speak of which was a blessing on these mid range tides.
We started the day looking for the Mackerel, to no avail. Birds feeding all over the place on the way out but nothing under the feed at all.
We decided to try a couple of bits of scrap during the first slack water period between 8.30am and 9.30am and took a dozen or so Codling and Ling from those.
As the ebb tide pushed through and strengthened and the drift speed increased quickly, we chose to run to a strip of ground 7 miles off.
Immediately, the lads were pulling strings of Mackerel up on everything that went in the water!!
Plenty of Haddock there too.
I personally worked a 4” pink shad for 3 drifts and took a dozen keepers! These will be very welcome on the table over the next few days. Love Haddock!!
As the tide eased back again for the second slack water of the day, we moved in to another piece of wreckage where the lads took another 8 Cod from it.
Tally for the day, a very reasonably 100 fish to keep. 30 or 40 of those being (“keeper” Haddock!)
Tony from Leeds taking the best of the day on his last drop. A lovely Cod of 9lb 15oz.
This has now gone into the lead for June’s heaviest fish of the month on the Shy-Torque III where the winner gets a free trip for their efforts.
Cheers for now chaps,
Rich

Catch report 16th & 17th June
Hi guys we've had a couple of belting days at sea this rotation.
On Friday the tides were starting to lift from neaps and was showing a 5.1m on the tide tables. I was sure the inshore wrecks had already taken a battering from the whitby fleet already, so I decided to visit some ground marks I've not visited since I started back up again
To be fair everywhere we stopped we took fish, the rods were busy all day, baited hokkais and shads were taking the fish, with a good number of double shots through the day. I started edging towards some wreckage as the tide eased but the lads were still taking a good picking on the ground so we fished on through slack, and dodged the wrecks.
We never had any big fish but we took plenty of them, with the lads amassing 70-80 keeper Cod, Ling, Haddock and Mackerel with loads of throw backs.
On Saturday the tides built further but with having such a good day friday we went back to the same area. Despite several passes on the ground the fishing was slow! I started hunting around and covered a few miles before heading back into the 3 mile stream.
I marked a ledge that suprisingly I've never marked before in all my years at sea, with a few passes I had it marked up on my maxsea,
We started fishing it and with every pass over it we were getting 3-4 rods in to cod. We managed 30 odd codling off that ledge so I carried on working tight to features on the ground taking more fish.
The lads asked me to fillet up them so we got back in early, looking through the boxes the 5 lads had had a good day again, taking 50 keeper Cod & Haddock, plus a bonus gorilla tub Mackerel.
Obviously the lads were delighted both days and its been a pleasure being at sea with everyone, In such great weather!
If you fancy a trip with me, my availability is pinned to the top of my facebook page, my number is 07977 436 903, if you cant get hold of me please give me a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you asap.

The tides are running quite strong inshore at present so we chose the offshore marks to start the day yesterday.
We ran to a group of four wrecks on the 20 mile stream. Just two of them producing fish for us.
No big fish to talk about but some real nice chunky Codling for the lads.
The shad seemed to work better than the baited rigs with the brighter ones doing the damage.
To finish the day off we ran to some ground marks and picked a further few Codling and Ling up.
Wind over tide created a drift at the end of the day which was basically unmanageable so home it was.
On the day, Codling, Ling, Haddock, and a nice sprinkling of Mackerel too which are always welcome.
The mixed group of lads enjoying a nice nice day at sea with us.
Cheers lads and see you all again soon.
