  • 08/10/2024 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    8 Oct 2024 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    First catch report aboard Sea Urchin for a couple of weeks.

    After a decent set of Northerly winds, today we finally had the opportunity to get out and Mark Johnson had the boat booked along with five friends. The tides are dropping a bit, but we still had a 5m tide to contend with which would present some challenging conditions later in the day. First job was to see if there were any Mackerel left and we had three drifts which only gave us a dozen or so. We knocked it on the head as we didn’t want to waste too much time as we had a SE wind against a flood tide, which would hold us nicely on the wrecks.

    We ran south to fish a couple of wrecks in the six mile stream. First stop, first drift and pleasingly we had five rods out of six take a fish; a mix of small Ling and Codling was a nice start. We had some steady sport for around an hour, but nothing exceptional was caught until Jono’s rod went over with something more substantial. His pimped up squid bait was snaffled by a lovely Cod of 11lb which won him the boat sweepstake.

    The wind showed no sign of dropping away on the turn of tide, so I knew we would have too fast a drift to stay on the wrecks once the Ebb got going. We agreed to try a couple more wrecks through slack water (which were unproductive) then head to the rough ground for the remainder of the day. We had an hour on the five mile ground first and found odd pockets of fish, but the consistency wasn’t there. With the drift speed up to 1.7 knots the lads had to work hard to keep the bait on the deck. 16oz definitely helped in this situation.

    We pushed out another couple of miles for the afternoon, to lose a touch more tide and hopefully find a few better fish. It was patchy to start with, but then the wind eased a touch and the sun came out. This seemed to have the desired effect and the last hour gave us a much better run of fish. We had a few Ling around the 7lb mark and some nice clean Codling to 4lb to finish off a really enjoyable day.

    It wasn’t a red letter day, but there were signs that there’s still quite a few fish knocking about. Thanks for coming lads

  • 03/10/2024 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    3 Oct 2024 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    After 40 amazing years as a charter skipper on medical advice I have to call it a day ( a very sad day for me). The journey has allowed me to meet some great anglers who started as customers but became lifelong friends and I thank every one of you for joining me on the way. There are so many highlights over the years and so many great catches to days when we struggled to buy a bite but that is the wonder of fishing. The treasured memories will last forever and I have so many pics taken on the boat I can look back on . Now to follow the docs orders and get fit. Thank you all for your friendship and I look forward to meeting you as an angler next time.
    Philip

    Report on-board Braveheart II

    What's been happening. Well this year has been exceptionally busy for BRAVEHEARTII and have had a waiting list for angler's wanting to book certain days and tides so I must be doing something right. Dispite the Unseasonably dodgy weather
    the fishing has been good with a good stamp of bass early on in the spring that are still hanging around in all the usual marks, until the water temperature drops. As I stated previously weed has proven to be challenging at times but once we can get away from it bang it all kicks off......bass are shoaling up on the banks and are normally there all year as 15 or more years ago i used to head out there in the summer with good results but I find the inshore fishing can be just as productive at this time of year.
    The Hound fishing has been good but again because of the weed we haven't been able to fish the normal marks which had forced us to look elsewhere with good results. As ever I am hopeful that if the water temperature drops sufficiently over Christmas and the new year we will see a few codling of the N Essex coast! One can but live in hope. We had a codling off a wreck in June during a boat fishing comp with 80 odd boats and the angler won a prize for special catch ....( a couple of rods and various terminal tackle).
    Looking to wrap up in November and lift the boat for it's new 5 year coding.
    Remember we cater for small parties between 3 and 7 and I've kept the boat affordable for this reason. I have purposely shyed away from a cat etc as I don't want to lose these smaller parties but you never know if the right boat came up I might be tempted.
    As always I'm grateful for all the support I've had off my regulars and have made many new friends this year.
    I look forward to welcoming you aboard for the remainder of this year and next season
    All the best &
    Tight lines Phil Browning
