Report on-board Shy-Torque III
A nice steady picking of fish for the lads yesterday.
The usual gathering of Mackerel to start the day first, then out to the ground and wrecks for the Cod and Ling.
They picked fish from every stop throughout the day and ended up with a lovely show for their efforts.
Chris Stevenson from Australia ended up with the best catch with 15 fish for himself with Ling to a shade over 9lb.
Fresh Mackerel bait, squid and the artificial lures
Great weather and cracking day for all on board.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
8 Aug 2022 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
With summer in full swing and some half decent weather, it’s been a busy few days. Saturday was a group of mixed anglers; many of whom I’ve never met before. I’m always a bit nervous with lots of new customers as, if the fishing is hard, they may think I’m completely bloody useless!!
We started off on the ground at 5 miles, but the wind lifted, so we headed back inside to get a bit of lea. A test drift on a wreck at 3 miles gave us a reasonable drift speed and a few fish. For the remainder of the day we kept on the move, taking a few fish here and there. Unfortunately, nothing exceptional, but Codling and Ling to 6lb gave us some sporadic sport.
Sunday saw the early morning wind spoil the drift and the lines were streaming, so we had to run back inside under the cliffs. Mike Lee and Neil Fell-Edwards got stuck straight in and we had a few Codling up every drift.
After a hour or so, the action tailed off so we were on the move again. We tried the 3 mile and 5 mile ground plus a couple more wrecks. For whatever reason, we just didn’t put many fish together. We finished with a Mackerel Bash after what I felt was a disappointing day.
With lighter winds forecast for today and a smaller tide, I hoped for better results. With the wrecks on the north side not giving much, we headed south towards Scarborough. First drift, on the first wreck saw half a dozen nice Codling come up, which was encouraging. We had half an hour’s decent sport before it quietened off. With only us in the area, we picked a few more wrecks to try, with most drifts giving 1-3 fish. It was certainly an improvement on the last two days.
Then, once again the wind spoiled the drift, so we ran back inside for an hour. Dave Bewley fished really well today and caught some lovely Codling wherever we went. Once the wind backed off, we were back on the wrecks, and ended the day taking a fair few Codling. It was a great improvement on the weekend’s results. Whilst not sensational, it was steady away for most anglers. Thanks to everyone for your company and enthusiasm over a few tricky days. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Compared to the last few days we had a much slower picking yesterday with our full squad of near novices.
Charlie and me had our work cut out at times, but the lads tried their best and brought a few fish over the side.
Mainly ground work for the best part of the day with just a couple of drops on a wreck or two to finish the day.
Mark Grinney, organiser of the trip taking the best fish of the day, a lovely Cod of 10lb 8oz.
Mark is pictured.

A cracking stamp of fish caught on today trip with a good amount of Cod boarded.
Loads of mackerel now showing at long last. And plenty of sport on the shads and lures again.
We did get a few strappy ling on this trip aswel so it won't be long before we see the better ones.
Great set of lads with a few been complete novice anglers, after today's fishing I think we have got them all hooked now.

Not the best of conditions at all with a few suffering with the effects of sea sickness early on but the winds were due to die down and they did giving the anglers some really good fishing.
All of the anglers gave it a good go even those feeling unwell and recovered quickly when fish started coming aboard
Also great to see the kids enjoying it aswel View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s mixed group of lads enjoyed a nice day at sea working the inshore ground marks to start off as the breeze from the NW was a bit fresh to start.
The fishing was steady to start off but as the breeze eased by lunchtime the fishing picked up and one or two better fish started to poke their heads out.
Nick Ball taking the best of the day, a nice Ling of
12lb 2 oz.
Plenty of Mackerel for bait and the barbecue too!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Stuart Faye, his son James and 5 of their friends from Liverpool chartered the Shy-Torque III yesterday for the day.
3 out of the 7 were experienced course anglers and the other 4 were absolute beginners.
Our Charlie couldn’t make the trip to crew, so a mate of mine Mathew Spinks who had been fishing with me for the last fortnight, joined us to help out and helped me to explain all the “ins and outs” before we started.
We started at the Bouy to try for some Mackerel to start off and they were in abundance. Literally 2 minutes there and we had enough bait for the day!!
We chose to work the rough ground/reefs after that, hoping that we could get a picking going there without having to try any wrecks.
A dozen Codling on the first short drift and 3 Ling was good enough for a start and the lads were buzzing!!
A couple of double-ups on the drift too.
We stayed on the first mark until around 11.30am and gathered a lovely show of Codling and Ling. Nothing big at all but plenty of fish to the 5lb mark.
A short move to another bit of ground after we’d exhausted the first stop, where the lads finished the day with another 10 or so fish.
The breeze then picked up from the NW and was very fresh at times (not forecast!) so the lads decided that a slightly earlier finish was ok and we headed back for port.
I told the lads that I would gladly fillet all their fish when we got back and suggested they nipped for a pint or 2 whilst I processed their fish which they did.
All in all, a fabulous day had by all.
Cheers lads and we’ll see you again next year.
Enjoy the skiing Stuart!!!
All the best,
Rich

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
1 Aug 2022 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Apologies for missing catch reports over the weekend when I did actually go to sea, but quite frankly, I didn’t have much to report on.
As I’ve mentioned before, I won’t fabricate and say it’s great when it isn’t. On both Saturday and Sunday the weather and tide were not in our favour. With it being 5m tide time again, we were mainly on the rough ground. When the wind and tide got together, our drift speed was up to 2 knots at times, which made the fishing tricky.
Credit to every single angler; they all gave it their best and remained positive. We did catch fish over the weekend when the conditions went in our favour, but nothing of any size. Our biggest Ling of the weekend went to Juned Islam at 7lb and we had Codling to around 4lb. The fishing was far from exceptional, but that is the way it goes sometimes. I will always try my best to find some feeding fish.
Today however, was a different story…. with a group of seven onboard, including “Clan McDonald”; father and son team Malc and Alan. Much lighter southerly winds gave us some great fishing conditions in the morning. We took advantage and dropped on a couple of wrecks while the drift speed allowed. We were taking 3-4 fish a drift, with some decent fish amongst them.
I’m pleased to report that at a sprightly 83 years old, Malc was not only top rod, but he also caught the biggest fish of the day at 13lb 8oz! What a legend….
We had plenty of fish in the morning and everyone took away a good few for the table. Thanks to everyone for a great day out in nice weather. View Boats Page
