Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
28 Apr 2024 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
To say that finding a bigger fish here at the moment is an understatement and yesterday was no exception.
We sailed on just our second day in this year’s Spring festival looking for a fish to compete with, to no avail.
Plenty of Codling were boated between the 6 lads on board which was good, but sadly, nothing over 4lbs!!
Craig Booth and his two mates from West Yorkshire and Warwick Mathews and his mates from Nottingham taking 40 odd fish between them making for a good days sport and plenty of fillets for the table which they were all very pleased with.
Our crewman, young Fergus providing his filleting service for them on our run back to port.
I’m sure there will be a better fish or two poke their heads out for us on next weeks smaller (neap) tides, providing the weather plays it’s part. Fingers crossed.
The current leading fish in the competition is just 6.5lbs so the chances of pipping it next week should be good.
It’s looking like Wednesday is going to be our next chance of getting away with fresh to strong winds forecast for tomorrow.
We have places left on just Thursday next week now so if you’re interested in having a go for the £1000.00 top prize in this extended competition, contact me on any of the below.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Galloper
For a change to the recent pictures of hounds, bass and rays I thought I would put some flatfish on from our recent trips. We had a nice few hours drifting for plaice the other day with good numbers of plaice and dabs. We did a few drifts over the course of 2-3hrs and with plenty of double shots and a conservative estimate of 50 odd for the boat. Andy had 13 plaice and I know the other lads were on similar numbers. I also thought I'd include Steve's bonus turbot from the next trip too. Which was a lovely fish and he chose to release too. I've heard of a few turbot showing so I might put a trip together for them soon. I will definitely be doing more trips for plaice and bass so please get in touch if you want to join us.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
23 Apr 2024 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday was our first day back at sea since the 2nd April due to all the rubbish weather we are all suffering with at present.
It too was the first day out in our Spring angling competition here at Whitby.
We sailed with just 7 lads aboard so plenty of room for everyone.
I was going to try some wrecks and ground around the 9 mile area, but as we approached, we realised the water clarity was still suspect and so carried on a bit further.
We dropped on a piece of scrap 12 miles North of the harbour and the lads picked around 10 fish from it. No festival weighing fish so we moved out a bit further.
The next wreck we stopped on is one of my favourites as it has thrown a lot of competition winners out in the past.
A steadyish picking for a couple of hours on that one producing around 25 fish.
Again, nothing big, but a couple of doubles coming on board which is always encouraging and good to see.
Paul from Brid taking one of the doubles which, when he was winding up, was hoping it was just the one fish! Unlucky mate!
Every fish bar one boated on the day fell to the baited rigs of Squid and Mackerel.
I managed one Codling, fair and square on the shad which indicated the clarity down there wasn’t too bad.
It was the only one though!
John from Newcastle took our best fish on the boat, a Codling just shy of 6lbs which was pipped at the scales at the end of the day by a Ling of 6.5lbs.
All in all, a nice day at sea with some great company.m and nice calm conditions for a change.
Yet another Northerly hindering us now which we’re waiting to fade.
The association has extended the Spring competition for another week and now runs through until Sunday 5th May.
The £1000.00 first prize is there for anyone to have a go at, so come and join us next week sometime!
All dates available on the Shy-Torque are listed on our calendar on our website and on CBUK or you can give me a ring or text me on :-

*** Fishing Report 20th April 2024***
Finally the weather gave in and allowed us out today for a Double Shuffle 5hr & 8hr.
We stayed inshore for the 5hr and managed around 25 Smooth-Hound a couple of Huss, Whiting, Dogs, Dabs and Pouting before heading back in for a swift turn around before heading back out for the 8hr.
We then head further offshore in search for a few Mackerel first which proved a blank but we did manage a few Herring before stopping at Anchor. We then fished for a couple of hrs on the bottom but the usual Dogs Whiting and Dabs were the staple. We fished out the last of the trip inshore again and the fishing was a bit more active on the other species and managed a good few more Smooth-Hound, Nice Huss, a couple of Ray's, another surprise Coalie and to finish off, a Bass.
Species Today:
Bull Huss
Thornback Ray
Smooth-Hound
Coal Fish
Bass
Pouting
Herring
Dab
Whiting
Dogfish.
Not Bad for April and the season is strengthening all the time.
Plenty of Availability between Luna-Sea, Merlin & Privateer.

Report on-board Piscary
Mixed results in the fishing again this week. On Thursday we managed to get offshore for a change and the fishing was very good with 34 Bullhuss mostly low doubles, Tope again very good average size up to around 30lb ,a big Smoothound of around 12lb ,1 Spotted Ray and 2 Spurs plus Congers and Whiting.
On Friday we had the latest round of the Friday Species League. Unfortunately there was a very strong north westerly wind combined with small ebbing tide all day which made the fishing very difficult, still managed 15 species between the 2 boats including plenty of Bream and at last a few nice Plaice. Top 3 on each boat where
Piscary
1st Ray Barron 183
2nd Perry Dack 172
3rd Darren Phillips 158.
Ocean Runner
1st Steve Bachelor 162
2nd Steve Lodge 137
3rd Alan Bird 100
Next it was the Kings Arms Southampton, after such a good day on Friday they decided to venture offshore, unfortunately the north east wind and stronger tides made it difficult fishing, again they did catch a few but not as good as Friday ended up with 12 Species. Top in the points were
Ed Taylor 206
Paul Hollyoake 177
Richard Dicky Day 155.
Just like to remind all match anglers that if you intend fishing the Poole species hunt please get your entries in as soon as possible. View Boats Page
