Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Hopefully other skippers will see this post.
RANT time!!
I’d like to thank a certain Mark Roberts, if that’s your real name? (Telephone number 07829889868) if that’s your real number? for not turning up this morning with your 6 associates. You have cost me and my lad our wages for the day.
I have seen and heard some stuff in my 40 years in the charter fishing game, but when I called him this morning at 6.55am to ask where he was, to which he replied, “nearly with you Rich, we are just on the bridge looking at the boats” I did start to worry, as the bridge I was looking at in Whitby had no pedestrians on it at all and just the bridge operators.
I asked him “what bridge are you on?” thinking they may be on the new road bridge further up the river, but oh no, apparently they were stood on a bridge in Jersey!! F*****g Jersey! Really!!!!
Now forgive me for being a little vexed about this but, getting mixed up with Whitby and Whitley Bay is a slight possibility but f*****g Jersey!!
Anyway, his number has now been passed on to all the other skippers here who will also now block him.
This job is hard enough in the first place without this happening. A man with a wooden head couldn’t get a fishing trip this wrong! Could they??????????
Our Charlie is working every chance he gets with me as he is saving like mad for his new motorbike in September and needs his wage more than ever! I hope he meets this lad one day!
Thinking about it now, with a cold beer in hand, I really hope his story was true and it’s cost them a lot of money on flights or a ferry for a completely wasted journey there.
Rant over.
On a brighter note, we did sail with the other 2 lads we had booked on, albeit a shorter trip than normal for obvious reasons and had some lovely Cod to 9lb 8 oz.
Cheers and keep a tight line!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The first group from Smith Brothers Electrical Engineers from Huddersfield sailed with us yesterday.
6 out of the 7 guys were inexperienced so a little guidance was required at times.
After a 10 minute mackerel session we decided that ground work was the order of the day and started work just 3 miles from land and basically sat there until 2pm until the speed of the drift was too quick.
Neil out fishing everyone and even managed a couple of “double ups” too.
The lads and lass then chose to return to port as they were staying over in Whitby and fancied a bite to eat and a beer!
All the fish was filleted down for them on the way back whilst our Charlie brought the boat home.
A fun day out with great company.
Cheers chaps and we’ll see your other team in a couple of weeks.

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
29 Jul 2022 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We’re back on the Spring tides again, which means that most of the trips will be spent drifting the rough ground off Whitby for the next few days.
Today we had a group of friends on board who were not hugely experienced boat anglers. They all chose to use my hire tackle, which at least meant they had the right gear for the job. There was a lot of “Micky” taking and banter all day, which was great to listen to. And pleasingly, there was also a decent number of fish caught!
Every drift saw anything from 2-6 fish come up today. It was probably a 50/50 split between Codling and Ling. We didn’t land anything huge, but the biggest Ling went 8lb and biggest Codling just over 7lb.
Every single fish fell to bait traces loaded with either Squid or fresh Mackerel and a 16oz lead today. The benefit of this tactic is; with everyone doing the same, it reduces the amount of tangles in big tides, which you get when people use Hokkai traces/multiple hook rigs. Less is definitely more in big tides.
Once the tide got away properly, the drift speed reached 2 knots, but the lads kept catching because they had the right gear and credit to them, they also fished really well.
Thanks for an entertaining day out boys……same time next year View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The last couple of days have proven quite challenging to be fair with the “devils wind” rearing up from the South East each afternoon.
This direction always making the job difficult with a swift drift speed.
However, the weather was on our side both days and the lads did enjoy some nice fishing over the slack water periods with a good sprinkling of Codling mainly coming from the rough ground marks.
Clear water giving us some nice sport on the Shads whilst the baited rigs also working. A couple of “double ups” boarded yesterday.
May Spinks who’s fishing with us for a fortnight showed us all how to go on on Wednesday with his Shad work and managed a dozen himself.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Local lad Alan Ward (not my Dad) and his mate chartered the boat for just themselves yesterday.
As any charter skipper will tell you, days like this are wonderful with oodles of space!
We started the day on the Mackerel which were playing ball first thing and were plentiful in their numbers.
We decided to have a nice relaxing day on the grounds where the lads picked nice healthy Cod and Ling up.
Best fish fell to Alan, a lovely fish a shade under 9lb.
Cheers and enjoy your fishing!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
After tearing around the North Sea for 3 weeks in the recent competition it was so nice to get back to nice relaxing angling yesterday without the pressure of trying to find the ”big one”
We started out on some ground a couple of miles off to gather some mackerel which were quite plentiful for the lads.
We then trotted down to some local spots just 3.5 miles from shore and picked Codling and a few small Ling up until slack water.
A couple of wrecks over slack produced one or two slightly better fish but nothing huge.
Alan Keys taking the best fish from the wrecks with a nice Cod just shy of 8lb.
A lovely, but very damp at times, sort of day!!
Cheers lads,

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Been a while since we have put a report up on here chaps which I apologise for.
The Summer competition has just finished here at Whitby and I thought I’d leave it till it ended before posting. Been a bit tired to be honest!
The event was a success again with the lads and lasses managing 15 days at sea, during which we had some nice fish boated.
Unlike last year where the boat took competition winners in all 3 events, we struggled to find the overall winner in this one, with our best fish being a few ounces short of 12lb which was a lovely Cod.
As always we would like to thank all those who fished with us, both regulars and newcomers.
Hopefully you all enjoyed it and return again in the future.
Our next competition here is in September and runs for 2 weeks from the 10th to the 25th inc.
Another £1000.00 up for grabs in that one too so if you fancy a go give me a ring on the usual number :- 07733 233352

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
I’m glad to say, that after yesterday’s below par day; today we were back in business.
Artur Karbarz and six of his friends had the boat booked for the day. All very capable anglers, I knew they were keen to spend the whole day on the wrecks, so we had a look for some fresh Mackerel to start, and low-and-behold, we found some quite quickly for a change! With bait sorted, we chose to make the most of the remaining Ebb Tide and stayed close to Whitby.
To summarise, we went on to fish only five wrecks all day; within five miles of the pier ends. Both Ebb and Flood Tides were productive and each wreck gave us a nice picking of fish. With the exception of three drifts, we caught every single run through, all day long. The consistency was great, along with the average size of the Codling. Marek Kawka taking the biggest fish at 9lb 6oz, but plenty in the 4-6lb bracket.
The wind lifted after dinner, but this didn’t bother the boys. They just kept on fishing well and catching. Hokkai’s and bait traces bait with Mackerel or Squid did all the fish. Nobody bothered with the Shads today.
It looks like a few days off again with bad weather, but today was a brilliant day out. Thanks lads. View Boats Page

Not ideal conditions today with a good easterly ground swell still there so we did have a few passengers suffering today with sea sickness but they kept fishing regardless and ended up with a few nice fish. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Sorry boys, I got that completely wrong…….
Today looked like being a great day for a run off to a few wrecks around the 20 mile range. With light winds and the recent Spring Tides meaning the wrecks had received little pressure; I hoped they had ample time to fill up with plenty of plump Codling.
Unfortunately this wasn’t the case. We arrived just as the flood tide started to get away and I thought the drift was bang on for a few bites. A good few drifts later we moved on with only a handful of small Codling to show for our efforts. Frustratingly, we got a similar result from the next wreck and even less from the third! I must point out that it was no fault of the anglers. We had some very experienced boys on today. It just seemed that they weren’t feeding.
I decided we should run back inside and try to salvage something from the day. Arriving at our first wreck on slack, we had a couple of fish first drift, which really lifted morale. And then just as the Ebb started to move, we had a good few decent fish. 3-4 rods playing fish each drift. Dave Guest taking the biggest Codling of the day at 8lb 8oz. The feeding window wasn’t huge, but at least we got a few.
Credit to everyone who came for the trip today. No heads dropped, everyone just kept at it. What a great bunch of boys. It was far from a productive day, but the boys on board were brilliant company. View Boats Page
