    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Weekend fishing report aboard Sea Urchin.

    Saturday was one of those days that I really didn’t fancy taking people out in. Moderate westerlies hampered where we could fish (most of the day was spent fishing under the cliffs). However, Colin Clarke from Grantham had his annual mates trip booked and really wanted to go out and try, regardless.

    We ran up north and spent much of the morning drifting the Uptiding grounds from Upgang up to Staithes. Periodically we found pockets of small Codling which mostly fell to baited feathers, small Hokkai’s or Sabiki’s.
    At slack water we pushed out to a wreck a mile off land, and with the lines streaming, we picked up a few more fish. The biggest Codling of the day came just as the Ebb tide got away at 6lb 2oz. It was hard work, but everyone caught.

    Today saw much lighter winds, so we pushed out a bit, concentrating mainly on the rough ground and wrecks in the 3-5 mile stream. We had a couple of drops for Mackerel, and finally got a good few strings coming up; bait sorted.

    The flood tide wasn’t too bad, with a nice picking of Codling and strap Ling coming to Hokkai’s baited with Mackerel and Squid or bait traces. We had to endure a lot of tangles every drift (not using enough lead) and most fish came up tangled in someone else’s line, which cost us a lot of fishing time during the day. Top rod by some margin was Tony Firman who put together a really decent bag of fish; a very tidy angler indeed.

    Everyone got a few to take home, and it was a nice day out overall. Thanks lads.

    Report on-board Skylark

    Photos from today's 8hr trip

    A complete difference to the fishing yesterday with the winds finally easing enough to run offside.

    Today baited traces seamed to fish the best we did manage to get a few fish on lures and shads but baited seamed to be deadly for cod today.

    We had a few ling, pollock and coalfish but the majority of today catch was cod and codling.

    Report on-board Galloper

    There have been some great bass coming out lately. These bristling bars of silver are always popular to catch and sort after for the table too. Although some of the best sport we have with these will be on our offshore trips they are great fun to catch any time. Some fresh rag worm is a great help on our general trips and will pick up other species too like those hard fighting smooth-hounds.
    Honey Gage has a knack of finding the big fish and there seems to be no exception when it comes to bass. Honey has caught the biggest so far this season with a lovely chunky bar of silver. Although big bass can turn up at any time, they often show up on our tope trips at this time of year. They seem to be a more popular for of by-catch than dogfish for some reason? I only have a few spaces left on tope trips this year including some this week on Wednesday (6th) and Thursday (7th). If you are interested then please get in touch on 07956411528

  • 01/07/2022 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    1 Jul 2022 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    After a few days off with poor fishing/weather conditions, we went back for a look on Thursday and Friday (today) this week.

    With us being back on larger 5m tides, we spent Thursday chasing fish on the inshore wrecks and rough ground. A firm believer in telling it how it is; we struggled to put many fish aboard. We tried rough ground at five, seven and nine miles, along with some inshore wrecks.

    For whatever reason, the bites were hard to come by. Most drifts would see one or two fish come up, but nothing of any size. A wreck at nine miles provided some reasonable sport for an hour, which was the highlight of the day. Ian Kellock was top rod (no change there then!) with a dozen Codling to 4lb.

    With a similar tide today, I thought it best if we had a run off to some wrecks a bit further out. Arriving at the first wreck half an hour before slack water, with a mixed abilities group on board, some of the lads struggled to control their gear through what is a “chewy” wreck. That said, Keith McCance and Jim Lister got stuck straight in with a couple of Ling and Codling apiece to 6lb.

    Slack water itself was fairly unproductive, but as soon as the Ebb tide got away, “first timer” Joe Mould took the biggest fish of the day; a nice Ling at 13lb 8oz, much to the surprise of his mates. The second wreck we visited also produced well, in periods. Top rod for the day Keith McCance, took the biggest Codling at a smidge over 8lb along with a fair few others. A switch to baited Hokkai’s certainly brought about more bites on this wreck.

    Everyone persevered and everyone got themselves a few to take home. In terms of fishing, it wasn’t right up there as the best day out ever, but we kept on trying and picked away all day. Thanks to all the boys for a nice couple of days out.

  • 01/07/2022 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    1 Jul 2022 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Not very good at all for the majority of yesterday’s mixed group of lads.
    That is with the exception of my mate Derek Wiggins from Leeds who always works his socks off on every trip!
    He fished a single 220g jig all day and ended up with 15 Codling and 2 Ling himself! 100% effort paid dividends.
    Phil Ross from Stratford taking 8 fish himself too.
    A challenging drift at nearly 2 knots making it really quite hard work catching to be honest.
    Great humour all day though with a great bunch from Hook nr Goole.
    Great to meet you all lads.
    Summer Competition starting here at Whitby tomorrow. Big cash prizes on offer!!
    Cheers
