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

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Well, what a difference 24hrs makes…..After yesterday’s beautiful weather conditions, and a 14hr trip scheduled for today, I hoped we’d be getting something like a repeat performance.
With a 4am departure from Whitby, and a group of experienced anglers on board, we ran southeast to have a go at some of the less visited wrecks. We caught plenty of Mackerel for bait on the first one, then had a few drops down on the bait traces. It appeared the fish were awake as 3 or 4 Codling a drift got us off to a good start. After an hours steady fishing we moved on to try our luck on some of the other wrecks. Next wreck was rubbish, with only a Pouting to show after three drifts. On our way to the third wreck the wind began to lift which wasn’t ideal.
With the wind and tide together, the drift speed of the boat suddenly went above 1 Knot which made it more difficult to control the fishing gear. However, after a couple of drifts, it was apparent that there were plenty of fish down there, as despite the conditions, the boys still caught each drift. We had a mix of Codling to 6lb 8oz and Ling to just over 9lb. Some of the lads found it easier to fish with 24oz of lead, to help keep the bait in the strike zone for longer. It was definitely a day for the more experienced anglers.
With the wind still lifting, and lots of white water around, I called a halt to proceedings at slack water. Everyone had suffered enough, so we called it a 10hr trip instead of the hoped for 14hr. With the wind behind us, we got back up to Whitby in time to get a few fresh Mackerel before the 3:00pm bridge. Bait traces with squid and mackerel dominated as usual, but the Shads accounted for as few as well in the clear water.
After the successes of yesterday, we were brought back to Earth with a bump. But credit to the experience of the boys on board, we caught far more than the conditions indicated. A big well done to everyone, and thanks for coming on the trip. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Perfect conditions on the pond for yesterday’s team.
More like fishing in the Med than the North Sea!
Another mixed group fishing with us, enjoying a nice days sport.
No big fish for us yesterday with our heaviest going to my old motorbiking mate Mick Jones with a Ling of 8lb 8oz.
Andy Holmes brought his daughter Fran with him on this trip which was her maiden run on a boat.
She loved it and managed a nice few fish for herself too.
Most of the fish falling to the usual fresh Mackerel, squid and Shads with a good few “double ups “ on the Codling too!
All in all, another cracker of a day on the boat.
Let’s hope this weather stays with us all for some time to come!
Cheers and tight lines,
Rich

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
8 Aug 2022 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
Things have been very busy lately aboard the Galloper. The fishing and the weather have both been great so it has been full steam ahead with long days offshore. With that in mind I must apologies to all of you who’s calls and texts I’ve missed. It is hard to get back to everybody by the time I have signal.
Our general trips were producing some great quality smooth-hounds with plenty of low double figure fish mixed in. As ever the young guns showed us how its done with Ernie catching one just over 12lbs and Josh catching a double a few days before hand. Although Josh’s fish was pipped that day by a fish of 15.8lbs by John.
There have been plenty of bass falling to worm baits on our general trips too. The size and numbers very from day to day but there have been a good few keepers mixed in for the table.
Jason ended his trip with a lovely solid fish which nearly had the rod over the side while he was hiding from the sun and chatting with me. We didn’t weigh it to be honest but she must have gone over 6lbs.
If you want bass then our offshore bass trips are the ones to be on. These have been very productive. Depending on conditions we are catching on baits at anchor or lures. All sorts of lures will work. Hard plastics, soft plastics, metal jigs, surface poppers and feathers. I must admit a favourite of mine is the surface popper though these tend to get lots of follows and not as many takes. My go-to lure for catching with confidence near the surface is a 4-5inch hard plastic plug but the most consistent and effective would be feathers. I have room for full boat bookings and individual spaces on bass trips over the coming weeks as well as right through to the end of November.
The weather looks scorching for a few days yet and I have some availability so get in touch if you want to get afloat.
I have availability mid-week throughout the summer so please get in touch if you want to get booked in. its also worth keeping an eye out for last minute spaces with groups or where people drop out. I will list my current list of spaces but there are likely to be other dates so its always worth giving me a call. If I am out of signal range I will get back to you asap.

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
It’s been a long time coming, but today was one of those days…..
We had some brilliant weather, some brilliant anglers and some brilliant fishing. With a good wrecking tide and light winds, there was only one obvious choice for us. We gathered some fresh Mackerel for bait (to supplement the usual frozen Squid) and hit the inshore wrecks! The drift speed was ideal, so we picked wrecks which matched the drift line, to maximise the amount of time on the structure.
In all, we fished five wrecks for the day. The first was a bit chewy and only did a couple of small fish. It was completely different on the second, with a good few Codling each drift. I was disappointed with the size, but then the tide just dropped off a bit and things kicked in nicely.
Plenty of fish in the 3-5lb bracket started coming up and David Oxborough helped himself to a Codling just into double figures. Slack water was the usual disappointment, so we had a couple of moves while it was slack.
Just as the flood tide got away on a new wreck, we were back in business.
Some more quality fish with Martin Novo taking an 8lb Codling, Ian Kellock almost filling a box with Codling using an orange JellyWorm and then Paul Andrews winched up a 12lb 8oz Codling to finish off a brilliant day.
I was so pleased for everyone. There was some great angling today. Well done to everyone. View Boats Page

A nice steady picking of fish for the lads yesterday.
The usual gathering of Mackerel to start the day first, then out to the ground and wrecks for the Cod and Ling.
They picked fish from every stop throughout the day and ended up with a lovely show for their efforts.
Chris Stevenson from Australia ended up with the best catch with 15 fish for himself with Ling to a shade over 9lb.
Fresh Mackerel bait, squid and the artificial lures
Great weather and cracking day for all on board.
Cheers

Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
With summer in full swing and some half decent weather, it’s been a busy few days. Saturday was a group of mixed anglers; many of whom I’ve never met before. I’m always a bit nervous with lots of new customers as, if the fishing is hard, they may think I’m completely bloody useless!!
We started off on the ground at 5 miles, but the wind lifted, so we headed back inside to get a bit of lea. A test drift on a wreck at 3 miles gave us a reasonable drift speed and a few fish. For the remainder of the day we kept on the move, taking a few fish here and there. Unfortunately, nothing exceptional, but Codling and Ling to 6lb gave us some sporadic sport.
Sunday saw the early morning wind spoil the drift and the lines were streaming, so we had to run back inside under the cliffs. Mike Lee and Neil Fell-Edwards got stuck straight in and we had a few Codling up every drift.
After a hour or so, the action tailed off so we were on the move again. We tried the 3 mile and 5 mile ground plus a couple more wrecks. For whatever reason, we just didn’t put many fish together. We finished with a Mackerel Bash after what I felt was a disappointing day.
With lighter winds forecast for today and a smaller tide, I hoped for better results. With the wrecks on the north side not giving much, we headed south towards Scarborough. First drift, on the first wreck saw half a dozen nice Codling come up, which was encouraging. We had half an hour’s decent sport before it quietened off. With only us in the area, we picked a few more wrecks to try, with most drifts giving 1-3 fish. It was certainly an improvement on the last two days.
Then, once again the wind spoiled the drift, so we ran back inside for an hour. Dave Bewley fished really well today and caught some lovely Codling wherever we went. Once the wind backed off, we were back on the wrecks, and ended the day taking a fair few Codling. It was a great improvement on the weekend’s results. Whilst not sensational, it was steady away for most anglers. Thanks to everyone for your company and enthusiasm over a few tricky days. View Boats Page
