Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Today was definitely a day of two halves for us. This morning’s weather conditions were perfect for drifting a few wrecks. We ran to some of the inshore wrecks today, to see if there were a few fish about.
Arriving just before slack water at the first wreck, we had a few drifts, picked up a few Codling and Ling, but it wasn’t exactly prolific. A short move to next one brought much better results. First drift saw 10 Codling and Ling to almost double figures. For the next 2 hours it was absolute mayhem. Fish were coming up left, right and centre and we struggled to get the nets round the boat. Because the wind was holding up the drift it was an absolute free for all!!
Ian Steadman really got amongst them taking Ling to 10lb 8oz and loads of Codling. He also lost (they got back in the wreck) two what seemed to be really decent fish. Everyone certainly got their fill on this one; it was brilliant to see.
Then just as dinnertime approached, the wind lifted and started to make fishing conditions more difficult. We continued to wreck hop, and the more experienced lads still managed to find a few more fish, but it was tough going. Even setting the drifts up was difficult enough with a gusting wind.
All in all, another lovely day out in good company. Thanks lads

A nice morning weather wise yesterday morning for the lads and this is when they had the best of the fishing with around 40 fish boated.
After lunch and the tide change, the wind drew down from the Southeast and completely spoilt things. The lads taking just a dozen or so more fish with the lines streaming.
Nevertheless, another good day on the Cod for the lads and Chris Wake from Kilnsey taking the heaviest fish of the day with a nice Ling of 13lb off the ground on the way back in.
The neap tides are upon us now so hopefully the decent fishing will continue for a few more days yet.
Cheers

It was like winding the clock back 25 years for our 2 lads yesterday.
Bob and Richard chartered the boat for themselves and were treat to some superb fishing.
The weather and conditions were perfect and the Cod were hungry too!
We used the start of the flood tide and steamed for an hour to a couple of wrecks which hadn’t been touched for a while and from the off they were straight into fish.
They were knocking the Cod out on the bait and I worked the Shad all day, which also worked well.
The two bits of scrap provided a great days sport for the 2 lads who were over the moon with their catch.
My son and crewman Charlie and his girlfriend had a ride out with us too. This was Alana’s maiden trip and as usual Lady Luck played her part as she took the best Cod of the day at a shade over 11lb
Plenty of good chunky Cod boated too.
A fabulous day for all.
Cheers

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Great day out today, with a great bunch of boys. It was the first 14hr trip of the year and thankfully the fishing wasn’t bad at all.
Heading off just before 4am we got a cracking sunrise as we made our way out to fish some wrecks in the 20 mile area. We arrived at our first wreck an hour before slack water, just as the Ebb tide began to ease.
First drift saw five rods into some lovely clean Codling, which set the pattern for the next hour. The average size was good, with a fair few fish over 6lb with Jim Lister taking the biggest Codling at a shade over 9lb.
Just on slack water Sammy the Seal got up for breakfast and was clearly harvesting the bounty down there, as we saw him come up with two decent fish. It was no surprise that the action tailed off, so we moved on.
Next wreck turned out to be even better, with eight rods in on the first drift! Again, some lovely Codling with a good average size. Jim Lister lead the way again, taking a fish a drift including a lovely clean 10lb 8oz Codling.
Everyone took fish today, bait traces with Muppets and Squid dominated, but Simon West also got a good few Codling and a Pollock on Shads.
The morning was certainly more productive than the afternoon, but we took fish off every wreck we visited, which was pleasing. Not too many Ling today, with a fish of around 5lb being the biggest. I really enjoyed today, let’s hope things continue in this pattern for the coming days as the tides ease. View Boats Page

Fishing was steady away again today with anglers trying many different options, in areas we got away with shads and lures. The water was still quite coloured in areas so went back onto baited feathers and long flowing traces.
Best fish today was a 10lb 2oz cod caught on squid strips on mackerel feathers. View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It’s big tide time in Whitby at the moment, which unfortunately seems to put some anglers off coming out fishing. The fishing is different to a standard wrecking trip; as we spend the majority of the day on rough round, but there are still plenty of rewards to be had for those who give it a go and fish well.
We’ve had some lovely weather and light winds the last couple of days, which has made the fishing conditions ok. When the tide eased towards slack water we dropped onto some wrecks and then covered rough ground from 3-9 miles out from the harbour for the remainder of the time.
Sungno Yoon landed the best Codling today (from rough ground) at a touch over 9lb. We caught a wide range of species throughout, including a cracking 4lb 2oz Ballan Wrasse for Martin Novo and plenty of Codling for everyone to take home.
The Shads and Jellies proved ineffective today, but Squid baited Muppets and Hokkai Traces did the damage as usual. It was great spending a couple of days out in lovely weather with brilliant people.
Thanks to everyone for coming along. Much appreciated. View Boats Page

With the tides being on the heavier side at the moment, yesterday’s mixed group basically had 2 windows where we had a chance of catching.
The first slack water just after breakfast, produced about a dozen fish from a bit of scrap 6 miles from shore which was ok.
We scratched around for the next few hours waiting for the tide to ease, picking up just a handful of fish as we were racing along the drift at 1.7 knots.
We moved to another couple of wrecks close to each other for the second slack water period where the lads took around 20 more fish to finish their day off.
All in all, tide taken into account, not too bad a day with superb sea conditions and great company.
Cheers lads and see you all soon.
Regular lad aboard the boat, Bill Barraclough fishing the best on the day taking 8 fish himself.
Cheers

Two’s company…..three’s a crowd!
Peter Carter and Ben Shaw booked Sea Urchin for the day today. With it being a big tide, the majority of the day would be spent on the rough ground around Whitby. That said, we took the opportunity to drop straight on a wreck close into the harbour when we set out, as slack water beckoned off the flood tide. We had a handful of Codling and Ling, but I felt that some of the tackle being used wasn’t quite up to the job.
Peter and Ben both agreed to switch over to braided mainline (instead of mono), heavier leads to hold bottom and we also got some whole squid mounted on muppet bait traces, instead of the really small Hokkai’s they started with. This set the tone for the day. Strong stout tackle usually wins the day at Whitby.
Once the Ebb tide got away, we moved out to some rough ground marks and started to pick away nicely. The banter between the boys was great, it was like abusive tennis as the insults went back and forth between each fish.
Peter secured ultimate bragging rights when he cranked up a nice 11lb Ling, which eclipsed the brace of 8’s that Ben had.
To be fair, it went a bit quiet in the afternoon when the wind spoiled things a bit, making the lines stream badly. But the boys persevered, taking a few more fish, before we headed back in. All in all, a great day out in great company. View Boats Page
