Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Sunday and Monday report aboard Sea Urchin........I've used a picture from the amazing sunrise we had on Sunday, as unfortunatley we haven't caught any decent size fish the last two days which I thought were photo-worthy.
Sunday saw us initially run North a couple of miles in beautiful flat clam conditions and the first stop wasn't too bad at all. Nathan Pendlebury dropped down and almost immediatley was into a nice plump 4lb Codling. There were a reasonable number of fish caught for the next 2hrs. Unbelievably, we caught nothing at all but Codling, but the average size wasn't brilliant. Mostly fish just around the 30-40cm mark. Once the action tailed off, we headed further north, trying a number of nice rough ground spots up as far as Staithes. A couple of initial fish would get us going, then it would go quiet (as it often does), but there didn't seem to be a second or third flush of fish which often happens when Uptiding.
Everyone plugged away all day, using the usual baits of Squid, Black Lug and Cart, but it was far from the day which I had hoped to give the lads. Dave Fowls was top rod on the day, with some consistent fishing, taking fish from every stop, but unfortunately catching nothing huge. Everyone kept their spirits up with some great banter, which really helped pass the time on a tricky day.
Today we ran South to start with. The plan was to spend some time around Robin Hoods Bay up towards Hawsker. Unfortunately the wind put paid to that plan, with 20mph+ winds blowing us all over the place, we had to move to try and find shelter, to allow us to fish properly. We tried three different spots for very little return, as we worked back up towards Whitby. After 3 hours at sea and with only half a dozen small fish to show for our efforts, we headed North again. I stopped at the same place as the previous day and thankfully there were still a few fish knocking around.
It was nice to see a few rod tips nodding for a change. But yet again, nothing of any size was caught. As we started to lose the tide. we headed further North up towards Staithes again to catch the first lift of the Flood Tide. Unfortunately, unlike the previous two days, the turn of tide was rubbish for us today. We never even had a bite between us! Head scratching time; so we started to moved back towards Whitby. Another three moves; two of which never even gave us a bite, meant that reluctantly we had to admit defeat. We ended the day with a handful of small fish between us all, which is obviously not what I like to do for my anglers.
I strongly believe that there is a need for balance with report writing. Everyone loves putting up reports saying how well we've done, but there will always be good and rubbish days (in terms of catching fish). The last two days, I've tried my absolute best to get us amongst a few fish, but it just hasn't happened. I'm no fishery expert, but one thing I do know, is that at the moment, the fishing is very difficult. I tried bloody hard today and did as good as I could.
Thanks to everyone who has come out for a days fishing, I really appreciate your custom.
Tomorrow is another day.....let's hope there's a big improvement

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s crew were a mixed group of regulars.
We started the day off on one of our more favoured Uptiding marks for very little fish, just 4 or 5 boated.
A little move North 1/4 mile and we picked a few more up but again, not many.
Our 3rd move proved fruitless too. Seemed the little buggers weren’t having it!
We finished the day off on a stretch of ground just a couple of miles from the harbour where the lads plucked another 2 or 3 fish.
All in all another slow day for the lads so we ran back for the 3.30 bridge opening and were safely tied up just after.
Total tally for the day, around 20 fish again.
Cheers

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
First day back at sea yesterday after the Xmas break.
Linas and his team joined the boat for our first Uptiding trip and to be fair it was nothing to write home about really.
After a number of days of Northerly winds this last week we were hoping for some half decent fishing but sadly no.
Three or four moves throughout the day produced only 20 keepers with a few chuck backs.
Edgar fishing the best out of the team with 7 for himself. His best going around the 5.5lb mark.
Nevertheless, a lovely day on the water and everyone enjoying themselves.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After a two and a half week break for rubbish weather, we finally managed to get a run out today.
The weather has certainly stirred things up and the sea temperature has dropped significantly. Mark Johnson had the boat booked today for him and three friends. With it being a 5.3m tide, it was spot on for a days Uptiding.
We ran south a few miles to start off, pushing the last couple of hours of the Ebb Tide. First drop of the anchor saw a few small Codling come up, but after an initial few fish, it quietened off. We gave it half an hour then repositioned. We had a similar result there as well, with a few fish straight away, then it slowed down. The wind then decided to lift a bit and we were swinging on the anchor which was very frustrating, as it makes the fishing much more difficult.
We had a quiet hour as slack water approached, the boat swinging all over. Just as the Flood Tide came through, the bites started again. Multiple bites and fair few fish came up. Nothing massive, but a 5lb 8oz Codling was great to see.
Baits for the day were Squid, Black Lug, Scallops and Crab Cart. Squid and Blacks or just Blacks did the lionshare of the bites. Mark Johnson was top rod and his “pimped up” (with a bait additive) Black Lug did the most bites.
It wasn’t as prolific a day as I had hoped for, but the lads are brilliant company and before we knew it, it was time to head in. I had a really enjoyable day spent in great company. Thanks boys.
With some settled weather, I’ve got some spaces available on Monday and Tuesday if anyone fancies a day out. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Happy New Year……first run out of 2023 today. The original plan had been run off and have a look on a few wrecks, but the weather which faced us this morning prevented that.
We went with Plan B initially and had a fruitless look on a few inshore wrecks. Having still not put a fish aboard after almost three hours, it was time for Plan C.
Most of the boys weren’t geared up properly for Uptiding, but I knew it was realistically the only option left to get a few bites. Using a mixture of my gear and their own, I got everyone sorted and then the anchor down. Thankfully it only took a short while (I hadn’t even got the tea made) before a few Codling started to come up.
After an internal sigh of relief we spent the remainder of the day picking away. When it went quiet we had a move, just like any other Uptiding trip.
We had mainly Codling, with an odd Doggie or two. Right on last knockings, as the tide had slackened off, Dave Sharp snuck up the biggest Codling of the day at around 6lb.
Squid and Squid and Black Lug did the majority of the bites. It definitely wasn’t the day I had hoped for, but with a great group of lads on board, it made it into a nice day out. Thanks lads, much appreciated having you all on board. View Boats Page

We managed to get a last run out today before the Christmas Festivities begin in earnest. A mixed group of anglers with differing experience meant that I would hopefully be able to help out the less experienced get a few fish; which I really enjoy.
It was a great tide for a days Uptiding and that’s exactly what we did. Using the last couple of hours of the Ebb Tide we ran north and tried a mark in Runswick Bay. We picked away steadily for the first hour, but as soon as we started to lose the tide, the fishing slowed down. There wasn’t much we could do, except plug away and wait for the flood tide to start. There was plenty of chat and banter amongst the lads, which really made the day go quickly.
We decided to move a bit further north at slack water and by the time we’d traveled the short distance, the Flood Tide was away. Things picked up straight away, with plenty of Codling to keep everyone entertained. Squid and Black Lug, or Squid, Black and Crab Cart did all the bites today.
We didn’t get anything massive, but Andrius Bespalovas took a lovely clean 5lb 8oz Codling and Dave Fowls was top rod taking 16 fish home, plus a few throwbacks. Everyone got fish to take home today, which made it mission accomplished for me. The water has coloured up nicely the last week or so, and shows good signs of things to come as the water continues to cool off.
I’m fishing all year round, so if you fancy a day out in January, just drop me a line. Thanks to everyone for their custom and support this year. I don’t take it for granted and hope that I can see everyone again next year.
Happy Christmas & a prosperous New Year to everyone. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Last couple of trips out were Monday and Tuesday with our group of 8 from Derby.
Glenn Barnish and his Dad and friends booked the boat for the 2 days with the intention of doing an offshore trip and an inshore trip.
We did just that and found the inshore fishing was far more productive than the wrecks we visited offshore.
I think the water in the area we worked offshore was a little murky and the three wrecks we touched on didn’t produce much at all.
The anchor fishing inshore gave the boys a few nice Codling to take back with them.
The usual baits of squid and black lugworm doing the job.
Cheers lads and looking forward to seeing you again next year.

It’s been nice to get a few days fishing together again. The trips have been mainly Uptiding with a days wrecking. After last week’s Easterly winds and subsequent “stir up” I was hoping for some decent Uptiding action. With some good angler’s on board we fished both North and South over the weekend, covering plenty of good marks.
To be honest, the fishing wasn’t quite what I had hoped for. We caught Codling, but not in the volume’s I anticipated/hoped for. A move to a new spot would provide a few fish, then go quiet. Usually, another pack of fish then moves through and you get another flurry of bites. This is the bit that didn’t happen, so we had to keep on the move. Squid, Black Lug and Crab Cart did the bites.
Today was the Sea Urchin Christmas Codling Competition. Biggest measured Codling gets £150 and runner up, £50. A fantastic bunch of lads on board, we ran out to fish a couple of wrecks in the 20 mile stream. All the way out, the chat and banter flowed and we soon got to our first wreck. It was just running into slack water as we arrived, and appeared to be devoid of fish, with no bites at all initially.
On the first signs of the Ebb tide coming through, we started to pick up 2-3 fish a drift. Gordon Blythe took a nice Codling measuring 69cm, taking the competition lead. Once the fishing started to slow right down again, we decided to move on. A glass of Port and a Mince Pie on route warmed the cockles on a “fresh” day.
First drift on the next wreck we were back in business with 5 Codling coming up. Gordon Blythe was at it again and snuck up a 68cm Codling to join his mate! We spent the remainder of the day on this wreck, with a few fish a drift coming to mainly squid baits on muppet bait traces. Crab cart and squid also picked away a few better sized fish. Despite there being plenty of Codling caught on the second wreck, nothing was caught to trouble the fish that Gordon had already caught. So with some pretty solid angling, he helped himself to 1st and 2nd place and went home £200 better off.
Well done Gordon and thanks to everyone for a brilliant day out. View Boats Page
