Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
1 Aug 2022 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Apologies for missing catch reports over the weekend when I did actually go to sea, but quite frankly, I didn’t have much to report on.
As I’ve mentioned before, I won’t fabricate and say it’s great when it isn’t. On both Saturday and Sunday the weather and tide were not in our favour. With it being 5m tide time again, we were mainly on the rough ground. When the wind and tide got together, our drift speed was up to 2 knots at times, which made the fishing tricky.
Credit to every single angler; they all gave it their best and remained positive. We did catch fish over the weekend when the conditions went in our favour, but nothing of any size. Our biggest Ling of the weekend went to Juned Islam at 7lb and we had Codling to around 4lb. The fishing was far from exceptional, but that is the way it goes sometimes. I will always try my best to find some feeding fish.
Today however, was a different story…. with a group of seven onboard, including “Clan McDonald”; father and son team Malc and Alan. Much lighter southerly winds gave us some great fishing conditions in the morning. We took advantage and dropped on a couple of wrecks while the drift speed allowed. We were taking 3-4 fish a drift, with some decent fish amongst them.
I’m pleased to report that at a sprightly 83 years old, Malc was not only top rod, but he also caught the biggest fish of the day at 13lb 8oz! What a legend….
We had plenty of fish in the morning and everyone took away a good few for the table. Thanks to everyone for a great day out in nice weather.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Hopefully other skippers will see this post.
RANT time!!
I’d like to thank a certain Mark Roberts, if that’s your real name? (Telephone number 07829889868) if that’s your real number? for not turning up this morning with your 6 associates. You have cost me and my lad our wages for the day.
I have seen and heard some stuff in my 40 years in the charter fishing game, but when I called him this morning at 6.55am to ask where he was, to which he replied, “nearly with you Rich, we are just on the bridge looking at the boats” I did start to worry, as the bridge I was looking at in Whitby had no pedestrians on it at all and just the bridge operators.
I asked him “what bridge are you on?” thinking they may be on the new road bridge further up the river, but oh no, apparently they were stood on a bridge in Jersey!! F*****g Jersey! Really!!!!
Now forgive me for being a little vexed about this but, getting mixed up with Whitby and Whitley Bay is a slight possibility but f*****g Jersey!!
Anyway, his number has now been passed on to all the other skippers here who will also now block him.
This job is hard enough in the first place without this happening. A man with a wooden head couldn’t get a fishing trip this wrong! Could they??????????
Our Charlie is working every chance he gets with me as he is saving like mad for his new motorbike in September and needs his wage more than ever! I hope he meets this lad one day!
Thinking about it now, with a cold beer in hand, I really hope his story was true and it’s cost them a lot of money on flights or a ferry for a completely wasted journey there.
Rant over.
On a brighter note, we did sail with the other 2 lads we had booked on, albeit a shorter trip than normal for obvious reasons and had some lovely Cod to 9lb 8 oz.
Cheers and keep a tight line!

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
30 Jul 2022 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The first group from Smith Brothers Electrical Engineers from Huddersfield sailed with us yesterday.
6 out of the 7 guys were inexperienced so a little guidance was required at times.
After a 10 minute mackerel session we decided that ground work was the order of the day and started work just 3 miles from land and basically sat there until 2pm until the speed of the drift was too quick.
Neil out fishing everyone and even managed a couple of “double ups” too.
The lads and lass then chose to return to port as they were staying over in Whitby and fancied a bite to eat and a beer!
All the fish was filleted down for them on the way back whilst our Charlie brought the boat home.
A fun day out with great company.
Cheers chaps and we’ll see your other team in a couple of weeks.
