Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
8 Apr 2025 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We took to sea yesterday for the first time in this years WCSA Spring competition.
A great forecast prediction with winds of 3-5 knots making it (hopefully) perfect for an offshore wrecking trip.
First stop with our regular mixed group of lads was just over 12 miles from harbour.
The lads were all armed with a good selection of bait, hoping to click that £1000.00 festival winner.
The first drift produced a few small Codling and likewise on the next couple of passes.
A move to the next piece of scrap after most rods were stuck in the wreck on the fourth drift was then in order.
We arrived at our second point on slack water, meaning that we could work it down to the last metre.
The lads picked away on this one until nearly home time and managed around 40 Codling from it which to be fair, after our last offshore run, wasn’t a bad result at all.
The big fish weren’t playing out and our best fish of the day was a Codling of just 4lb 5oz!
Having said that, that fish was big enough for Jonathan Stirrup from Preston to take the heaviest of the day and win him the daily prize of £50.00.
Well done to him.
Tally for the day would be 40+ to keep with a good number returned to fight another day.
Baited rigs taking the fish, but also the water clear enough on the more distant wreck for the shads to work too!
Young Fergus getting some filleting work on the way back and in port.
A great day out on the water with great company too.
Cheers lads, great to sail with you all.
Our next trip out is next Saturday where we have room for a couple more anglers.
Cheers Rich.

Report on-board Galloper
It was a bright and breezy weekend with the easterly wind and small tides against us. Thankfully there was no shortage of bites with whiting and dogfish keeping us busy. We found some hounds and thornbacks to make things interesting for the guys Saturday. The fish are here now so I'm looking forward to getting out there and catching them.
I have availability this weekend for evening trips or please call for midweek availability.

Fishing Report by Geoff Sharp
on Sweet William (Tyne, Tyne and Wear)
6 Apr 2025 by Geoff Sharp
Report on-board Sweet William
It was a tale of two halves this weekend.
Saturday was hard going from the start; a sizeable swell, overcast and tough fishing with three noteworthy Codling keepers, a few Coalies and a single Pouting.
Sunday was a completely different story; all of the party members were accomplished anglers and non of them wanted to fish the ground, so we headed straight out for a full day's wrecking. The first wreck produced a good number of Pollock, and as the day progressed a non stop stream of Codling came aboard up to 8 lb. During one of the notable flurries up to 9 rods went off one drift simultaneously! Mark also managed to find a strap Ling at one point which was unexpected.
It was a great start to the season and hopefully a whistle whetter for future trips! View Boats Page

Report on-board The Kraken
There are good days and great days and today was definitely a great day. Joined by Nick and his gang from Portsmouth who were good anglers and top fellas, we went out for an 8 hour trip targeting Plaice. Despite some tricky conditions and the wind affected our drifts we had fish pretty much non stop. Varying sizes (some micro fish like the smallest thornback I’ve ever seen) but a good number of keepers. Final tally was an amazing 81 Plaice! There was also gurnard, dabs, whiting, smooth hounds, dogs and that micro ray. Great day thanks for joining me Nick and friends.

Big shoutout to Paul, who’s now leading the ray category in our Neverland competition with this cracking thornback ray – nicely done!

It's great to see things finally shaping up on with the spring species now showing in better numbers. Good news regarding bass too. As of yesterday we you are allowed to keep two per angler per day again until the end of January next year. Now you just need to catch them! They will be making up ouch catches along with the smooth-hounds and rays over the coming weeks and I've no doubt we will be seeing countless dogfish and whiting and various other species too. I have spaces this weekend aboard Galloper from brightlingsea Essex please call 07956411528 for more information
