Photos from todays 8hr and 3hr trip
Fishing started off slow with a small picking of smaller Pollock and codling as the tide increased so did the fishing.
Overall the lads had a good amount of Pollock and mackerel to keep with plenty of sport with Ballen wrasse and dogfish throughout the day.
We did see a few codling, heaviest fish was a 7lb 12oz pollock
The 3 hour trip fished from the start with a good sign of mackerel showing in the late afternoon and some nice size Pollock also showing.
Tonight we had a very picturesque ride home with the sun setting behind the grand hotel and gannets and herring gulls diving behind the boat as we threw all the left over bait and guts over

Photos from todays trips
We started with a 6 hour trip this morning
Fishing was steady with mackerel and Pollock coming over the rail. We had a few quite periods in the day as we moved around but we managed to find a few fish
Heaviest Pollock today was 7lb
We then ran a 3 hour trip which was like a total different day with many Pollock making an appearance as well as a good amount of mackerel aswel.
Unfortunately we didn't see a cod or codling all day which was quite strange
After both trips we ran back out to be a casualty for the RNLI inshore boat to tow around for their training. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It’s been an enjoyable but busy couple of weeks since I last did a report.
The first week was spent fishing in Norway with my good friend Ian Kellock. The fishing I experienced in Torsvag was just brilliant. I wasn’t bothered in the slightest about bait fishing for monsters and spent the majority of the time fishing with light lure rods and slow-pitch jigs.
We didn’t encounter anything enormous by Norwegian standards but the sport was excellent. I had hoped for a few nice Haddock (which I got) and a 20lb Coalie (which evaded me); so we’ve got unfinished business next year.
The real enjoyment came from exploring the massive areas of rough ground and working things out for ourselves. We both think and fish similarly, so it was a recipe for an epic week. Cheers Ian.
Arriving back in the U.K. I was straight back at it with three trips over Friday and the weekend. Unfortunately for the lads I had aboard, the fishing was a real struggle. There’s masses of feed on the ground and the fish just don’t seem to be dialled in to feeding. We picked up odd fish here and there, but unless you were after big-dog Mackerel, it was a tough gig.
Today was a Lure Fishing competition, with £150 for first place and £50 for second. No bait was allowed at all and the lads got stuck in with the lures all day. It wasn’t the easiest of fishing conditions and the more experienced lure anglers shone through in the end. Ian Kellock taking first place and Tony Firman second.
It’s looking like a couple of days off again with the current forecast, but hopefully things pick up with the next set of neap tides. Thanks to everyone who has made the trip over and fished hard. I really appreciate the support.
Cheers, Andy View Boats Page

Report on-board Skylark
Only 4 customers fishing on today's 8hr inshore trip
Fishing steady away all day again today we had to keep moving around to find them.
Cod were abit thin on the ground today but the Pollock fishing made up for the poor show of cod.
Everybody caught a few Pollock to take home best been just shy of 7lb.
Plenty of dogfish, wrasse showing mackerel didn't really show today
Overall all the customers enjoyed the trip which is what matters
We have 1 space left on 6hr & 3hr tomorrow (Tues 6th Aug). View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The fishing has been so slow over the last three trips (2nd, 3rd & 4th) that I’ve decided to combine them all in this one report!
Not much point in going into in-depth detail about each of the days, aside to say that the average catch per day has been between the 15-25 fish in total to keep.
The artificial lures are clicking a few fish, but a good number of those have been foul-hooked, indicating either murky waters or they just aren’t playing.
The bait rigs obviously catching fair and square.
The Mackerel are running ok at the moment and giving some real good sport on the lighter gear. Some fish going nearly two pounds in weight and when that stamp of fish are coming up in 3’s, 4’s and even 5’s, it really is great fun!!!
The Spring tides are on us at the moment so a bit of time for maintenance and relaxing.
Looking forward to the smaller neaps from next weekend, where (weather permitting) we will start seeing a bit better result in the catch rate.
Sun is shining, temperatures are great, so enjoy yourselves guys and we’ll see you all soon.
Cheers
Rich.
