Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We had a mixed bunch of regular lads plus two newbie’s on board the boat yesterday.
We were welcomed by thick fog as soon as we cleared the piers and unfortunately it didn’t lift for us all day. A shame because a bit of sun on another flat calm sea would’ve been nice.
Anyway, unlike Fridays fishing, yesterday’s was a marked improvement with one of our stops providing most of our catch for the day.
A small wreck some 9 miles North of the harbour.
Codling, Ling and a few small Haddock boated.
Bryan Stanton taking the best of the day, a nice Ling of 11lb 3.5oz.
His fish is now leading the Shy-Torque “Fish of the month” which can get the winner a free trip if they have the heaviest fish at the end of the month.
Good luck to him, although with the September competition starting today, we really are hoping for something a bit heavier to stand any chance of winning it!!
Let’s see what happens.
Tally for yesterdays trip, around 50 fish to keep.
Tight lines everyone,
Rich

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
8 Sep 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
The settled weather conditions continue, so we were back at it again today. With the Autumn Festival starting tomorrow, I took the opportunity to have a days fishing with seven of my regular anglers. Irrespective of the fishing, I knew it would be a brilliant day, with loads of banter.
After yesterdays excellent results, we headed back to the six mile stream to try a few more wrecks. It was a real “pea souper” today, the fog never lifted, but the drift on the wrecks with the light winds was ideal. We gathered the Mackerel we needed for the day from the Bell Buoy, then headed to our first wreck.
On arrival, everyone dropped over and before I could even get my own bait down; one, two, three, four then five rods were all into decent fish at once!! I ended up playing gillie and netted a succession of decent Ling to 10lb. What a great start!
That wreck kept us entertained for a couple hours producing plenty of Ling for everyone between 6-10lb and then it was time for the Rob Waterworth show to start…. in the space of about 30 minutes Rob helped himself to a brace of Ling totalling 31lb 8oz!!
First up was a real scrapper which tested his brand new Daiwa Super Kenzaki to the limit, pushing the scales round to 18lb 4oz and he followed it up with a 13lb 4oz fish shortly after. Both fell for muppet bait traces with a fresh Mackerel fillet on the hooks.
I don’t actually recall a single drift all day where we didn’t catch. Like yesterday, the Codling were pretty scarce and we only took half a dozen or so for the day, but the Ling sport more than made up for it.
The time simply flew by, which is always a sign of a great day in great company. A massive thanks to the boys for one of my most enjoyable days….. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s team were treat to some cracking flat calm and (sunny at times) weather. The fishing on the other hand wasn’t so cracking!!
We played around on the rock top to start the day, looking for the Mackerel.
They were a little hard to come by, but after three or four drifts we had gathered enough for the day.
We dropped down to couple of the inshore marks which gave us some stunning fishing for four days on the last set of small tides. Nothing much at all, so down to the next mark we steamed.
A handful of small fish to chuck back that’s all and nothing on the Shads.
I figured that the “booling” Spring tides just gone had stirred the shallower waters so we moved out some wrecks in deeper water.
No great shakes on any of them with just a couple here and a couple there.
Thank goodness for the Mackerel bait as it was the only thing that caught for us!
Tally for the day, around 20 keepers, with the usual chuck backs.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
7 Sep 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After a week’s family holiday to recharge the batteries and miss the huge Spring tides, we were back at it again yesterday. With nobody having being at sea, it was a blank start, not knowing what areas were working etc.
With a 5.2m tide, it was going to be a mixed day of wrecks and rough ground. Slack water was around midday, so we spent the morning working the rough ground at 5, 7 & 9 miles. The 5 mile ground did us a few Ling, the best going 9lb. We chased around all day for an odd tiny Ling, Whiting, and Pouting. It wasn’t until slack water that a small wreck did a couple more decent fish. Mark Gilbert taking a nice plump 13lb Ling as the biggest of the day.
I believe the problem was that there is too much feed in the water. The Herring and associated spawn is in the water at the moment and we were completely surrounded by Minke Whales, Seals, Dolphins, diving Gannets etc. all day. By contrast, the meagre offerings we presented just couldn’t compete with the all you can eat buffet!
Today I felt we needed a change of plan for Alan and his friends who had the boat booked. We grabbed the Mackerel we needed from the Bell Buoy and then had a quick drift on the 3 mile ground. Nothing had changed and we had the wildlife around us again, so I set off to find an area that had a lot less activity. A smaller tide allowed us to get on some wrecks in the 6 mile stream and we only fished three for the day. The first one wasn’t great, but as soon as we started to lose the flood tide, things kicked in nicely for the rest of the day.
It’s the time of year for “them” and we took anything from 3-7 Ling a drift, with an odd rouge Codling. There were a few decent fish amongst them as well. So Yee Kwok had her first double at just over 10lb but first time sea angler Kelvin stole the show when he hooked what was obviously a decent fish. He played it well and eventually we shuffled a decent Ling which just missed the twenty at 19lb 8oz. How’s your Luck!!
The fresh Mackerel on muppet bait traces really did the job today. Thanks to everyone for a great couple of days back at work. Fantastic to have you on board. View Boats Page

Report on-board Piscary
Just 1 match on the boat this week unfortunately the fishing hasn't been that great inshore and the IBAC crew had a disappointing 18 species on the boat ,this is mostly down to the huge numbers of small Bream and Pouting making it difficult to catch anything else. Ray Barron was first on the day with 263 points
2nd Kim Bowden 165
3rd Uwe Brown 154.
On the pleasure fishing side when we have managed to get out a bit further there has been some nice Bass,Tope Rays, Congers,Big Bream , Gurnards, Gilthead Bream, Flounder, Bullhuss,Smoothounds,Mullet,Turbot and Brill . There are spaces for individuals coming up on Monday the 11th, Friday the 15th day trip and evening trip for Triggers and Sole.Please text me if you're interested in booking in 07775756269.
