    Bass

    Well the Bass fishing has really ramped up lately

    A great stamp of fish between 3-5lb coming onboard.

    Worms baits are doing best as usual but squid is nicking a few good fish too.

    Also i have started the lure fishing now we’ve had some lovely fish this week to kick off the lure fishing so make sure your lure set ups are ready!!

    Best trip this week was 70+ bass boated!!
    With top rod greg boating 26 bass on his own to 5lb 1oz he had to go down to 1 rod at one point!!

    I have mainly been targeting bass on most trips but i did a hound & bass trip the other day was very busy non stop action hounds to 15lb but thats for another report.

    looking forward to some more settled weather & targeting them Bass on the lures!!

  • 12/05/2023 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    12 May 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Nothing to shout home about on yesterday’s trip really.

    We used the flood tide to start the day off on three offshore wrecks out on the 18 mile stream. Very little action at all with just a dozen or so Codling from those.
    A U-turn it was then and we marched back towards the 9 mile marks, stopping on a tiny bit of scrap on the way. A half dozen Codling coming from that one.

    The 9 mile is usually good for saving the day if things are slow elsewhere as the area is so vast. Not so yesterday!
    We worked it until close of play and took just 20 or so more fish from there.

    The amount of juvenile Haddock has opened our our eyes on the last few trips and yesterday was no exception. A dozen caught in the last hour with just a couple of keepers from them.

    All in all a beautiful day at sea with gorgeous flat calm conditions and great banter! Around 35 fish for the day to keep with nothing big to challenge Henry’s 10lb 3oz Cod leading the fish of the month.

    My old friend Bill Barraclough joined us again too after a spell of illness over the winter period. Great to see him back to full fitness again and have him back onboard.

    A few days off for us now with a short break away for a mates wedding.
    Any enquiries through email, WhatsApp or text this next week please.

    Cheers for now and keep a tight line!

  • 11/05/2023 Fishing Report by Andy Savage on Sea Urchin IIl (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    11 May 2023 by Andy Savage

    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today it was finally time to break out the Factor 50!! We have had barely a breath of wind and fantastic sunshine all day.

    With settled weather this week, Tuesday and Wednesday saw us spend most of the days drifting rough ground and a wreck or two at slack water with the Spring 5m tides. The fishing wasn’t exceptional by any standards, with mainly small fish landed, but plenty of bites to the baited Hokkai’s. There are lots of Haddock being caught at the moment, we caught more Haddock on Wednesday, than I had the entire year, last year.

    Today we were back into the 4m tide range, so we ran off to some wrecks in the 20 mile stream. First wreck saw some solid fishing for three hours. Most drifts we took 3-5 fish mainly Codling with an odd Ling. They were lovely clean fish mostly in the 3-5lb bracket. Shaun Marchington taking the biggest Codling at just over 7lb. Shads did a few bites initially, but Muppet Bait Traces, baited with a whole squid were really doing the business.

    Once the tide fell away towards slack water, we moved on as the bites dried up. The next wreck marked really well on the echo sounder, but we got nothing but small Haddock and a few Codling.
    After an hour and with the Ebb Tide away properly, we moved on.

    The last wreck we fished wasn’t bad considering the drift speed was 1.2 knots. Some beautiful clean Codling to 5lb for everyone to finish the day.

    The weather was fantastic today and the company on board were the same. It’s the most enjoyable day out I’ve had for a while. Plenty of fish caught in fantastic company. Well done everyone.

  • 09/05/2023 Fishing Report by Scott Belbin on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

    9 May 2023 by Scott Belbin

    Report on-board Galloper

    We had a very pleasant trip offshore the other day. With bright sunshine and no wind we headed for the horizon with lots of options depending on the conditions. We decided to give it a go for plaice as I felt conditions suited them and we had explored other options in previous trips. Several of the lads hadn't caught them before so we scrapped together some traces and gave it a go to see what was showing. The first drift showed signs of life with a nice plaice for Chris early on as well as several missed bites. Over the next few drifts we refined our rigs, the lads tuned into the bites and I smartened up our drifts. It was great to see some of the lads like Chris, Mick and Nick getting into this way of fishing. They may have never fished like this before but they were still catching a steady stream of fish with several double shots coming out. To be honest they were out fishing some of the more experienced lads at first! After the tide turned the fishing seemed to turn up a notch and by now everybody was catching. Wayne had a pretty little tub gurnard and there was a good number of dabs thrown in too. Not that we were complaining but dogfish were noticeable in there absence. Only around 6 came out all day. The lads kept 20 odd plaice for the pot and let as many again go. I must admit I thought there might be a few but it was as good as I've seen for Essex plaice fishing in years. Of course we would have liked to have seen more but around 40 plaice for the day as well as the other species made for a very pleasant trip.
    If you fancy joining us for some plaice and bass fishing in the coming months please get in touch and I will add you to my mailing list.

    7 May 2023 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    7.05.23

    With the lads all boarded for 6.45am yesterday we took the 7.0am bridge and headed out.

    We’d had a quick conflab pre sailing to discuss our options.

    The tides at present are running swift at 5.4m so the lads ended up voting for the offshore option as I figured the inshore marks would be tough going.
    We ran to the grounds at the back of the 20 mile stream. The fishing started out a bit slow to be fair but after an hour or so they started to come on the feed nicely.

    Four or five out of the group took a good half dozen fish with Cod to just over 9lb.
    A nice stamp of good fresh run Cod for the table.
    Unlike our last few trips where the better quality fish came up on the baited rigs, todays better fish came up on the artificials, Shads, Sidewinders etc.

    Daryll, Pete and young Fergus taking the best 3 Cod at 9lb 2oz, 8lb 12oz and 10lb dead.

    Tally for the day, around 40 odd keepers and a good number of “chuck backs”

    Because Fergus works as crew, he can’t enter the monthly heaviest fish of the month competition on the boat where we’re giving a free trip away each month!! He was a few ounces short anyway!
    Henry from Leeds still leads this months with a Cod just over 10lbs.

    All in all a great day at sea with smashing company. Shame it was pea soup fog all day but you can’t have it all eh!

    Cheers for now and keep a tight line.

    28 Apr 2023 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Morning guys, weekends here again!

    Had a great run to the offshore wrecks again yesterday with the favourable forecast., we'd had a huge northerly blow this week which has kept the water coloured inshore meaning we couldnt hit the marks we should be doing by now.

    I gave Andy and the lads the options and they chose to have a run off. I explained id never hit these marks before and had a clear route planned, unfortunately I only got 3 marks into my 8 mark day ��

    On our 3rd wreck of the day, we kept nailing fish after fish every drift, the shads were on fire, I fished my favorite 4" white koike awol and never missed a drift hitting fish as soon as I hit bottom
    The rest of the lads used a mixture of squid and shads to nail the rest of the fish.

    What I was amazed at, was the quality of the fish, every cod was between 3lb and 6lb, we had a good smattering of fish 6lb to 7lb and the best of the day went around 9lb

    Another great day in great company, with us being so far off, it gave me chance to fillet everyones catch on the way in too.

    If you fancy a day out with me, give me a call on 07977 436 903, if you cant get hold of me please give me a text or WhatsApp and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A day of two halves for yesterday’s crew on the Shy-Torque III

    We started out on the ground we fished well last Saturday for very little. A handful of Codling, three Haddock, Whiting and Pouting.
    Perseverance there didn’t pay off so we moved offshore to a wreck I didn’t think had been touched in a while.

    A good move for us as there was plenty of action for the lads.

    Our Chinese contingent from Leeds, Alan,Joe,Tony and the two Henry’s having a good steady day on the Cod and Ling.
    Best fish between those five, a lovely Cod just over 10lb caught by Henry #1.
    Bob Ellis managing a dozen for himself too with Cod to 7lb 12oz.
    Alan Sutcliffe bagged himself 10 nice fish too (Thanks again for the roofing felt mate!)

    All in all a great day out with plenty of fish to take for each and everyone.

    Henry’s Cod currently leading the May “fish of the month” on the boat where the heaviest fish boated wins a free trip.

    Cheers for now and good fishing wherever you are.

    Cheers
