Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It was finally nice to be back at sea, with a small tide and a great bunch of lads today.
Wrecking was to be the order of the day, with the inshore wrecks being the target. So we started off with a “Mackerel Bash” at the Bell Buoy to gather some fresh bait.
The forecast was giving some moderate westerly wind in the morning, but early on it hadn’t materialised, so we dropped on a couple of wrecks on the run in to slack water. It was steady away, with two or three, mainly Codling a drift. Just as we lost the tide, the Ling started to come, but they were only small “straps” up to around 4lb. We plugged away, but on the turn of tide, the wind did lift and once the tide got going, they were almost together; so the drift speed got up to 1.3 knots. It was too much to fish the wrecks properly, so we ran back under the cliffs to get some shelter.
The fishing wasn’t amazing close in, but Neil Fell-Edwards did catch his first fish on a Shad and his first Pollack at 5lb 12oz! As soon as the wind eased, we moved back into the wrecks. It was pretty much the same as before, with two or three fish a drift. Tony Firman fished really well today and took top rod with a dozen Codling to 6lb 8oz, and Paul Bradley took the biggest Codling at 7lb 8oz.
It certainly wasn’t a red letter day, but I really enjoyed it, with a great atmosphere on board. We caught well when the conditions allowed.
Well done everyone and thanks for a really enjoyable day out.

Some of the better fish from today's 8hr trip
We had a really good mixed day with some really clean cod and pollock and some strappy ling.
Winds were difficult today making drifts hard to fish but they kept persisting and were rewarded with some cracking fish. View Boats Page

First day back at sea yesterday after a few days off over the Spring tides and we still had a lot of run in the water.
The breeze from the South making things more difficult than it should have been and to be fair we struggled for the best part of the day with just 15 fish boated for the day.
A challenging but enjoyable day nevertheless.

The only place I would consider working (if we get the weather) is the “Wall” on enormous Springs like yesterday.
Vic Bruce and 5 of his mates chartered the boat yesterday and decided that was the place to go and try.
Another perfect flat calm day aided our run out there but sadly the fish weren’t really playing for us.
They were definitely there though as we lost loads more than we boated, but with the drift speed approaching 2 knots they were struggling to catch our baits/lures.
The lads knew it would be a challenge when they booked it but still enjoyed their day with around 20 keepers to take back to Malton.
Cheers lads and see you in October.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The fantastic weather continues and today we had a great group of lads on board.
They all understood that we had a big tide to contend with, and all came equipped for the job, which really helped with the fishing. We pinched a few quick Mackerel at the Bell Buoy to get us going, as the first slack water was approaching. We took only a few small Codling off the first wreck, so I moved us on quickly to a much bigger wreck as the tide eased.
This turned out well, with three or four fish a drift through slack. As the tide began to gain pace on the Ebb, we had a look tight inside on some rough ground, but that was unproductive. That left us with the option of moving out to try some more rough ground, until the second slack water. With a drift speed averaging 1.8 - 2.2 knots the fishing was hard. We tried the 3, 5 and 7 mile ground but just picked up odd small fish here and there.
We moved back inside to a couple of wrecks as the Ebb tide began to ease. The first one was a bit “chewy” and we also got plagued by Pouting, so went to another wreck for actual “slack”water. We fared much better here, with 3-4 fish a drift again. Today we caught mainly Codling up to 8lb with a few small Ling to 6lb. Standard tactics of bait traces with Squid and Mackerel did all the better fish.
Top Tip….If you are planning on a future trip in a big tide. Leave the Hokkai’s and multi-hook rigs at home and the light leads. They create so many tangles and lose everyone valuable fishing time.
Thanks again to everyone for coming along today. I really enjoyed it, you were all great company. View Boats Page

With the tides on the make towards the huge Springs again, the fishing has certainly taken a knock these last two days.
A fresh South Easterly hampered our efforts on Wednesday and we actually cut the trip down a bit because conditions were so poor!
Yesterday however was the polar opposite, with the sea like a millpond again! Same forecast for both days yet completely different conditions.
Anyway, we did manage a “few” fish each day, with a couple of half decent fish boated over the slack water periods.
Andy Hoick from Hornsea taking a nice Cod yesterday at 9lb and our Charlie landing one 8lb 8oz too.
A couple of days off after tomorrow’s trip to wait for these Springs to ease back.
Cheers and enjoy your weekend!

Well, what a difference 24hrs makes…..After yesterday’s beautiful weather conditions, and a 14hr trip scheduled for today, I hoped we’d be getting something like a repeat performance.
With a 4am departure from Whitby, and a group of experienced anglers on board, we ran southeast to have a go at some of the less visited wrecks. We caught plenty of Mackerel for bait on the first one, then had a few drops down on the bait traces. It appeared the fish were awake as 3 or 4 Codling a drift got us off to a good start. After an hours steady fishing we moved on to try our luck on some of the other wrecks. Next wreck was rubbish, with only a Pouting to show after three drifts. On our way to the third wreck the wind began to lift which wasn’t ideal.
With the wind and tide together, the drift speed of the boat suddenly went above 1 Knot which made it more difficult to control the fishing gear. However, after a couple of drifts, it was apparent that there were plenty of fish down there, as despite the conditions, the boys still caught each drift. We had a mix of Codling to 6lb 8oz and Ling to just over 9lb. Some of the lads found it easier to fish with 24oz of lead, to help keep the bait in the strike zone for longer. It was definitely a day for the more experienced anglers.
With the wind still lifting, and lots of white water around, I called a halt to proceedings at slack water. Everyone had suffered enough, so we called it a 10hr trip instead of the hoped for 14hr. With the wind behind us, we got back up to Whitby in time to get a few fresh Mackerel before the 3:00pm bridge. Bait traces with squid and mackerel dominated as usual, but the Shads accounted for as few as well in the clear water.
After the successes of yesterday, we were brought back to Earth with a bump. But credit to the experience of the boys on board, we caught far more than the conditions indicated. A big well done to everyone, and thanks for coming on the trip. View Boats Page

Perfect conditions on the pond for yesterday’s team.
More like fishing in the Med than the North Sea!
Another mixed group fishing with us, enjoying a nice days sport.
No big fish for us yesterday with our heaviest going to my old motorbiking mate Mick Jones with a Ling of 8lb 8oz.
Andy Holmes brought his daughter Fran with him on this trip which was her maiden run on a boat.
She loved it and managed a nice few fish for herself too.
Most of the fish falling to the usual fresh Mackerel, squid and Shads with a good few “double ups “ on the Codling too!
All in all, another cracker of a day on the boat.
Let’s hope this weather stays with us all for some time to come!

It’s been a long time coming, but today was one of those days…..
We had some brilliant weather, some brilliant anglers and some brilliant fishing. With a good wrecking tide and light winds, there was only one obvious choice for us. We gathered some fresh Mackerel for bait (to supplement the usual frozen Squid) and hit the inshore wrecks! The drift speed was ideal, so we picked wrecks which matched the drift line, to maximise the amount of time on the structure.
In all, we fished five wrecks for the day. The first was a bit chewy and only did a couple of small fish. It was completely different on the second, with a good few Codling each drift. I was disappointed with the size, but then the tide just dropped off a bit and things kicked in nicely.
Plenty of fish in the 3-5lb bracket started coming up and David Oxborough helped himself to a Codling just into double figures. Slack water was the usual disappointment, so we had a couple of moves while it was slack.
Just as the flood tide got away on a new wreck, we were back in business.
Some more quality fish with Martin Novo taking an 8lb Codling, Ian Kellock almost filling a box with Codling using an orange JellyWorm and then Paul Andrews winched up a 12lb 8oz Codling to finish off a brilliant day.
I was so pleased for everyone. There was some great angling today. Well done to everyone. View Boats Page
