Report on-board The Kraken
A great 4 hour session with some new guys aboard plus a regular and his boys (top young fishermen out fished the adults!). 30 plaice of varying sizes with 11 keepers, some dabs, gurnards and solitary whiting and smooth hound (plus I will say it quietly mackerel!).
Sun shone, fish came to play and a lovely crew so cant ask for more. View Boats Page

Report on-board Predator
Sunday 30th March
Had the lads out from The Tackle Den
Wind was offshore but stronger than forecast said so had to stick inshore close to the cliffs etc.
Was a hard day but Dave landed our first smoothhound for 2025.
Loads of dog fish and whiting.
Great gang of people.
See you all again.
Thanks

Report on-board Braveheart II
Spring feels like it's well underway with the weather warming up nicely towards the end of the month and it was easy to forget that it was still only March ! The water temperature is still quite low historically but as it rises in April should kick the season off nicely, but dispite this we have still manged to get some nice smoothounds onboard BRAVEHEARTII which keeps the angler's happy as these are probably pound for pound one of the hardest fighting fish in the UK. The majority of these fish have been the smaller males but the bigger tides have pushed some better females into the estuary along with the first of the thornback rays and bass won't be far behind them. So all set for a good season ahead.
If you want a day out on BRAVEHEARTII
£390 for the whole boat inc frozen squid & herring
£70 INDIVIDUALS

look forward to getting you all out there

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
26 Mar 2025 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
What a beautiful day out……. With a reasonable weather forecast and a group of Sea Urchin regulars aboard who were happy to have a run offshore; I had a spring in my step as I made my way to the boat this morning.
We had already agreed in advance to try an area of rough ground that I haven’t fished before, which involved a long run out. I was happy to do it, as all the lads were experienced anglers and knew that we could potentially be running out there for nothing, but….. “He Who Dares Rodders”!!
We used the Ebb Tide to run North and with everyone having at least a couple of different outfits, most people started off on bait traces with Squid to try and get a fish under their belts, before trying the lures.
First drift saw half a dozen small Codling and Haddock, which indicated there were a few fish down there. Ian Kellock had a couple on a Shad and most people switched straight over as we all love the lures.
We ran a few drifts for the next hour, exploring different areas; picking up fish every run, until we lost the tide. A couple of miles away there was a wreck to try, so we headed there for slack water. Everyone was on bait now due to the lack of tide, but we could only muster a couple of Codling each drift and as soon as the tide turned, we went back to the ground marks and Shads. Things kicked in nicely once the Flood got going and we had some solid sport on the Shads for the rest of the day. We found one area that held a few better fish when we covered it and we had a couple of better sized Pollock and Codling.
Shads probably took 90% of the fish caught today and Ian Kellock was top rod with 25-30 fish on his own. If the average size had been 3-5lb it would have been the best day for ages, but there were alot of throwbacks (they were take-able size), but the lads only take better size fish. There was no best colour on the Shads, everything seemed to work today. Everyone caught plenty and the banter was epic as always. Tony Firman deserves a special mention for persevering with the Slow-Pitch jigs and getting his Pollock in far from ideal conditions for them.
Thanks lads, brilliant day, really enjoyed your company as always. View Boats Page

It's always great to see different species and we weren't disappointed the other day. The bulk of the day might have been made up with whiting, dogfish and pouting but Ivan managed to sneak out a tub gurnard, there was a micro dab and a couple of tiny conger too.
This weekend we'll be in search of spring time rays, hounds and bass.
I have spaces Saturday and Sunday currently then into next week after that.

Report on-board Galloper
Things are starting to look up now with a few small hounds showing over the last week or two. There's not been loads to trouble the landing net the last couple of trips but the tides were tiny so hopefully these building tides will push some better fish in.
Stanley looks less happy about being photographed with a tiddler than Steve does.
The water temperature is rising rapidly, the tides are building and the close season for bass ends next week so things are looking up.
I have spaces for general fishing both Saturday and Sunday this week aboard Galloper from brightlingsea.
