Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Old customers, new customers, customers who I haven’t seen for 10 years and a
m/cycling mate aboard the boat yesterday.
The weather was certainly on our side today with very light breezes.
The Mackerel were still playing at the Bouy too so we took just enough for what we needed for the group and headed off to start our day.
Rough ground to start off which was rubbish to be fair!
Onwards then to a few bits of scrap which only produced a few fish each.
The fresh Mackerel certainly played its part with the Shads and artificials struggling to attract much at all.
Waldek and his mate Bruce (two of our new customers) fished the best out of the group, taking around a dozen fish between them. Valdek also taking the heaviest of the day with a nice Ling a shade over 10lbs.
Not the best of days for numbers of fish boated but a very pleasant day at sea for one and all.
Tally for the day around 40 fish.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
24 Aug 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
We’ve seen the back of the Spring tides for now and today we were back in wrecking mode with a nice 4.8m tide and light winds. A lovely mixed group aboard, some more experienced than others, but everyone got on well, which always makes for a good day out.
The Mackerel bash didn’t go too well, with just random single Mackerel coming up. I didn’t want to waste too much time, so we got cracking. Everyone brought Squid with them, so those who were short on Mackerel, still had bait. The first few wrecks weren’t brilliant. Just odd fish here and there. There were a lot of tangles to sort out every drift, as the boat twisted in the very light wind and tide, which cost us fishing time.
After a couple of hours, everyone had got off the mark with a few fish and then the tide just started to ease on the run into slack water. Jamie Britton switched over from bait to a red Shad and got one or two nice Codling a drift. He was top rod today by some margin, giving a very solid display of angling. Reading the tide and wind situations well.
Allan Knaggs is part of the furniture on Sea Urchin, having crewed many times over the years and today had a days fishing. He took half a dozen Ling to 8lb and the same of Codling. He rang the changes between muppet bait traces and shads and caught consistently.
We fished another three wrecks for the day and there was a picking off each of them. Whilst we didn’t manage to catch anything huge, the biggest Cod of the day fell to Simon at 8lb 4oz, who fished mainly with the Slow-Pitch Jigs all day.
All in all it was a very enjoyable day, thanks to all the lads for a great day out. View Boats Page

on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
Sorry my reports have been a little irregular lately but I have been so busy aboard the Galloper and often out of signal range. The weather is great at the moment and the fishing has been pretty hectic at times. We continue to catch great numbers of smooth-hounds and often a really nice stamp too. Often fish of 8-10lb with a few doubles mixed in too. At times it's been a bit chaotic to be honest. The other day Tony's group had 30 odd by 9.45am. These better fish will only be here in numbers for one more set of tides or so before they go so don't miss out.
Neil had a nice bass of nearly 4lb amongst them too. The lads fancied a few more bass so we had a quick move and spent the rest of the day on them. We finished with over 30 and the lads easily caught their quota of two each with plenty of sport too. Not a bad day between 4 anglers. The bass are building on the offshore banks and I look forward to many more trips on them between now and the end of November.
Other species such as rays, dogfish and whiting are increasing I. Numbers too ahead of their autumn run.
I have individual spaces and possibility of full boat bookings over the coming weeks and months if you want to get out.
Remember it is often worth giving me a shout if you are cancelled else where and still wish to get out, as we have lots of sheltered fishing available and a big catamaran which makes it even more comfortable.

24/08- Clacton air show 2 spaces @ £60pp

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday’s team from Cumbria, organised by Cliff Atkinson, enjoyed a good day on the water with us. The fishing was good until the Westerly breeze freshened after the change of tide at lunchtime.
We struggled to find the Mackerel on the inshore marks but were soon hammering them out on the 3 mile stretch. I think the last set of “booling” tides has spooked them hard ashore. Enough in one drift to keep us in bait for the day.
The drift was just over a knot to start the day so we had a few runs across a strip of ground to start off.
Very few fish there with just a half dozen to keep.
As the tide eased off at 9.30am we dropped the lads on the first wreck of the day where they picked off 15 or so fish. Everything coming up on the baited rigs.
The second wreck we touched produced a few more, around 30 fish.
Some doubles coming off that one too.
Freddie the landlord taking a nice double from it, a Cod of 7lb 5oz and a Ling of 5lbs. A nice drop!
Freddie also taking the best fish of the day (which won the sweep) a lovely Cod at 9lb 8oz. Well done to him.
With the breeze being against the ebb in the afternoon, things were awkward for the team and they only managed another half dozen fish or so.
We called it at 3.30 and returned to the harbour.
99% of the days fish coming up on the baited rigs.
A great day with the lads as ever.
Cheers
Rich

Fishing Report by Andy Savage
on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
21 Aug 2023 by Andy Savage
Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
Well that wasn’t the easiest of days….. it was certainly a tale of two tides.
We headed out this morning with three hours of the flood tide remaining. With it being a 5.3m tide we were going to be drifting fairly quickly, so the day would be split between wrecks around slack water and rough ground when the tide was pushing through. We had a frustrating hour trying to track down some Mackerel, but eventually got some decent ones.
Starting off on the three mile ground to assess the drift speed, we picked up nothing at all on the first run. I reset us on a different line and just as the boat drifted over a nice gully, Stan Matthews’ new 30/50 Ugly Stik took on a decent curve. After a good scrap, we slipped the net under a nice Ling which weighed a shade over 14lb. His muppet trace baited with Squid christened his new toy admirably.
With the tide easing we dropped onto a few wrecks for an hour. The first one only produced half a dozen Codling between 2-4lb so we pressed on. The second wreck was a bit better with 2-3 fish each run. Pick of the fish; Dave Holmes taking a seven pound Ling and Stan picked up a 5lb Codling. At that point, if I’d had a functioning crystal ball, we could literally have just gone back into the harbour!!
Once the Ebb tide came through, we fished the rough ground at 3, 5, 7 and 9 miles for a handful of mainly throwback Codling and Ling. We covered some lovely marks, we had a decent drift speed and water clarity, but for whatever reason, the fish just weren’t feeding. We kept on the move and credit to all the lads, they were fantastic company and kept on trying all day. Nobody let their heads drop.
I was disappointed not to be able to give everyone the day out I wanted to, but we can’t catch if they’re not feeding. Thanks for an enjoyable day out lads View Boats Page
