    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    We had a belated Happy Christmas today, as Bob Nichols had booked the whole boat as a Christmas present for his Son-in-Law, Matt Collins.

    With there only being the four of them they had acres of room on deck. Three were very experienced wreck anglers and Matt was on his first fishing trip, using my hire tackle. We had a run off to the 20 mile area again, where the fishing has been pretty consistent of late.

    First stop and the experienced lads got stuck straight in. I went through the technique for drifting a wreck with Matt and away we went. The first wreck wasn’t heaving with fish, but the boys picked off a few Codling around the 3-4lb mark. After half an hour, we headed off to try another one. Good decision; as we stayed there for the next 3 hours picking off fish every drift.

    The biggest fish competition was touch and go until the “new boy” Matt pulled up a nice Codling of 6lb 5oz, which won him the trophy and bragging rights over the “old timers”!! Credit to Matt; he was a very fast learner and got things sussed quickly. We had a decent stamp of fish again, and the lads threw back the smaller 2-3lb fish, keeping a few better sized ones for dinner.

    Squid on bait traces dominated, although frozen Mackerel and Squid together did a fair few bites; as did Gummymacks.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the day, which was spent in great company. Thanks lads.

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Back out to the 20 mile wrecks again today, hoping for a few better sized specimens.

    We had a mix of experience, from brand new to “old hands” and we found a few fish on the first wreck; but as it was a bit “chewy” it was only the experienced lads that managed to get through and catch fish. The other’s kept getting stuck.

    We persevered for half an hour, then I moved us on to a more friendly wreck, where we picked away for a couple of hours. The wreck was marking a lot of fish on the sounder and we got 2-3 fish a drift, but today the bigger fish evaded capture.

    Our biggest Codling of the day fell to the only lady angler on board at 5lb 8oz. (The old pheromones at play again ��). Unfortunately, the flood tide spoiled things today as it pushed against the Southerly wind and gave rubbish fishing conditions during the afternoon.

    It wasn’t the best day ever, but that’s fishing for you…….thanks to everyone for a nice day out.

    29 Apr 2022 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Beautiful weather conditions for a run out to some wrecks in the 20 mile stream today.

    With only a few Codling from the first three wrecks, the doubts started to creep in; until we landed on a wreck just at the end of the Ebb Tide, and first drift we had eight of the rods in at once!

    Slack water was unproductive today, but we stuck it out until the flood tide got away, and the fish started to feed again. We finished off the day picking nicely and certainly left plenty of fish behind for another day.

    The average size of the fish was much better today, with Mat Rodgers taking his biggest ever Codling at 9lb 4oz, with quite a few in 5-6lb range. Squid on bait traces dominated, but Gordon Yates did manage a few on the Shads as the water continues to clear out.

    It was a beautiful day out at sea, in great company. Hopefully things continue in the same vein for the coming days. I’ve got spaces available on Tuesday, Wednesday next week, if anyone fancies a run out.

  • 21/04/2022 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    21 Apr 2022 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today was a day of mixed fishing; split between drifting rough ground and wrecks. With the tide being on the large side, we could only drop on a wreck when it eased down at slack water.

    Starting off on the rough ground at 7 miles, we had three drifts for only a couple of small fish. With the light winds, the boat drift was slower than expected, so we went to have a go on a wreck.

    This turned out to be much more productive, with a couple of Codling a drift coming up on squid baited muppets. The biggest fish falling to Dave Williams at just shy of 6lb.

    Once the Ebb Tide got going we moved back to the rough ground at nine miles, where we picked away with Codling and a few Whiting for the remainder of the day.
    Hokkai’s baited with Squid were the order of the day on the ground.

    Thanks for a lovely day out boys.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    With the tides running strong on a 5.7m we chose to do some Uptiding yesterday.
    We used the tide and ran a few miles to the North of the harbour to some inshore ground.
    The ebb tide produced the best with the lads picking away with the Codling until slack water.
    A good number of small Billet boated too.
    The change of tide brought the freshening South Easterly which always spoils things and made the ride home a bit blashy!
    Steve Knott from Manchester took the daily first in the competition with a Codling an ounce under 4lb. Not a big fish by any standard but it still won him the £50.00 daily prize.
    Cheers

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A nice day on the water yesterday on our 2nd run out in this year’s Spring competition.
    We started on a wreck 12 miles North of the harbour for a handful and to be honest we only saw another 5 or 10 fish boated until we dropped on our last wreck of the day some 22 miles North. It didn’t produce heaps of fish but certainly helped in the days total.
    Great crack with lovely weather again.
    This weekend’s tides running at 5.7m means we will be chucking the anchor over as the drift fishing will be far too quick.
    No daily prize winner yesterday but one or two nice chunky Codling. Our best of the day was Dave Sharpe’s at 6.0lbs
    Cheers lads and see you all again soon.

  • 14/04/2022 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    14 Apr 2022 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Another lovely day out on the wrecks today with a great group of lads of mixed experience. With lighter winds and a bit less swell than the previous day, conditions were great for a few fish. We headed back out to the clearer water and everyone got stuck in.

    It only took a couple of drifts before everyone was into the swing of it. Most drifts saw anything from 2-5 Codling come up in the 2-4lb range. It was nice fishing with plenty of bites.

    Richard Wheatley took the best fish of the morning at 5lb and there were a few over 4lb. Once we started to hit slack water, the bites slowed a little, so we had a move.

    With the flood tide pushing against the wind, the drift of the boat was held up, allowing us to drift a smaller wreck, slowly. This paid off well, with four rods into fish on both of the first two drifts. Rob Waterworth managed to find a strap Ling in amongst the Codling and it turned out to be a good end to the day.

    Nearly all the fish came to bait traces with muppets and Squid. Thanks for another great day out everyone.

  • 13/04/2022 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    13 Apr 2022 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today was the inaugural trip of the “Coffin Dodger’s Cod Tours”……Apparently they’re too old for a Saga Holiday!! A great group of lads who fish with me regularly. We decided to have a run off and fish a few wrecks, using the Ebb tide to our advantage.

    First drift saw three nice Codling come up and that pretty much continued throughout the remainder of Ebb. The best drift saw six fish come up and whilst we didn’t find anything big, our best Codling weighed a touch over 6lb, with plenty of nice pan sized fish.

    Squid on bait traces with muppets accounted for the majority, although a few fish did come to black and red Jellies.

    It was great to see a few fish back on the wrecks, hopefully a sign of some good sport to come. Thanks to everyone for a brilliant day out, really enjoyed the company and banter.

  • 10/04/2022 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    10 Apr 2022 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We managed a day at sea yesterday after yet another long spell of landlubbing!
    It was our first day in the Spring Competition as Saturday was cancelled for bad weather.
    A regular mixed group joined us and as the tides are currently on the smallest neaps, wrecking was the order of the day.
    We touched on our first one for just a handful of Codling so moved out a few miles.
    All but 3 rods went straight in to fish on the first pass which was great and we picked away at it for the full morning where the lads gathered a good amount of Codling.
    Just the 2 “bootlace” Ling boated with plenty of chuck backs too.
    Our heaviest fish of the day was a Pollock of 5 1/2 lbs caught by Kyle Reeves from Sheffield which won the sweep and also won him the best of the day in the competition with another £50.00!
    A great day with lovely weather and great banter as usual.
    A couple of days off again now but hopefully back at em on Wednesday when the weather looks to be setting again.
    The competition runs for 2 weeks and we still have a few days left with spaces.
    Cheers
