Report on-board Skylark
It's been a while since our last trip with the run of poor weather and sea conditions
But we managed to still find some really good fish on the inshore grounds still.
Best fish today was a 9lb 2oz Pollock with the same angler also catching a nice 8lb Pollock also
As well as Pollock the customers had a good amount of Cod, pouting, lesser spotted dogfish and Ballen wrasse to keep them busy all day.
The wildlife the customers had pretty much all day leaving the harbour and passing a pod of 40+ bottle nose dolphins heading south. Then seals, porpoise and the dolphins passed us several times while fishing and on the way back we were greatest with them again in the South Bay.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Managed to squeeze one out today……. A fishing trip in-between the poor weather that is!! ��
Yesterday we had 10ft of swell and rough seas at Whitby. The weather forecast gave it to drop away a bit through the night, leaving around 4ft this morning with light winds for most of the day. Hopefully they would be right, as it wouldn’t take much breeze to spoil things. Giving due consideration, I decided to give it a try.
With the lads aboard, firstly we had an unproductive 20 minute Mackerel hunt (which I thought might well be the case). It was a 4.8m tide and everyone was keen to try a few wrecks, so we got stuck in. The inshore waters were looking a bit green and mucky, so we headed offshore to try some further out. Using the Ebb tide, we ran for an hour or so to our first wreck. It looked like there was plenty of feed around it as we set the boat up.
First drift saw us put up five nice clean Codling with bright white bellies which was encouraging. They fell to squid hookbaits on a mix of muppet traces and Daylights. The next half an hour saw fish every drift, then unexplainably sport just dried up. We moved on to the next wreck, arriving just as we were running into slack water, giving us a nice slow drift. This time I counted thirteen fish on the first drift! Clearly a few at home. A productive half an hour around slack saw everyone getting amongst the fish. Nothing massive, but plenty of lovely clean Codling around 3-4lb with Alan Kwok taking the biggest at 6lb 8oz.
Once the flood tide started to push through, the Codling stopped feeding and we got plagued by Haddock. They were coming up two at a time on the Daylights. I thought it best that we moved on as they were only just around “size” and I wanted to try and find something bigger. We fished another two wrecks, but they weren’t anywhere near as productive. The first drift was the best on each, then it just progressively tailed off.
To finish the day we had a couple of drifts on rough ground, which gave us a few to finish with. Codling dominated the boxes today, with only a handful of strap Ling to 7lb. Everyone got some fish for the table today which was great. Thanks lads. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
8 Oct 2024 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
First catch report aboard Sea Urchin for a couple of weeks.
After a decent set of Northerly winds, today we finally had the opportunity to get out and Mark Johnson had the boat booked along with five friends. The tides are dropping a bit, but we still had a 5m tide to contend with which would present some challenging conditions later in the day. First job was to see if there were any Mackerel left and we had three drifts which only gave us a dozen or so. We knocked it on the head as we didn’t want to waste too much time as we had a SE wind against a flood tide, which would hold us nicely on the wrecks.
We ran south to fish a couple of wrecks in the six mile stream. First stop, first drift and pleasingly we had five rods out of six take a fish; a mix of small Ling and Codling was a nice start. We had some steady sport for around an hour, but nothing exceptional was caught until Jono’s rod went over with something more substantial. His pimped up squid bait was snaffled by a lovely Cod of 11lb which won him the boat sweepstake.
The wind showed no sign of dropping away on the turn of tide, so I knew we would have too fast a drift to stay on the wrecks once the Ebb got going. We agreed to try a couple more wrecks through slack water (which were unproductive) then head to the rough ground for the remainder of the day. We had an hour on the five mile ground first and found odd pockets of fish, but the consistency wasn’t there. With the drift speed up to 1.7 knots the lads had to work hard to keep the bait on the deck. 16oz definitely helped in this situation.
We pushed out another couple of miles for the afternoon, to lose a touch more tide and hopefully find a few better fish. It was patchy to start with, but then the wind eased a touch and the sun came out. This seemed to have the desired effect and the last hour gave us a much better run of fish. We had a few Ling around the 7lb mark and some nice clean Codling to 4lb to finish off a really enjoyable day.
It wasn’t a red letter day, but there were signs that there’s still quite a few fish knocking about. Thanks for coming lads View Boats Page
