Well that’s a wrap!!!
View Boats Page
The impending foul weather brings the Easter Bank holiday weekend’s fishing to an abrupt close. It’s been a great weekend to be fair, and getting out for 3/4 of the time is pretty lucky going off tales from years gone by.
Today, Easter Sunday saw a family group book the boat for a mixed fishing day. Only the grandad had ever properly fished before, and that was only on lakes in Moldova, so being single handed I thought I could be in for a busy day. I was.
The day started off slowly, which came as a massive shock considering the marks my sounder was picking up.
The seabed was literally undulating with fish in pockets. Using a mixture of rigs/lures, and with massively differing techniques, my crew of newbies just couldn’t tempt the fish to bite.
When the first fish finally succumbed to a hook if fell to six year old Sebastian. He was so chuffed with his prize, as you can see, and that is what it’s all about.
We started picking up more fish, all of which were under sized. We headed to another mark to drift some different rocks and broken ground (at Sebastian’s request), but after everyone got tangled, and snagged, on the first drift, I suggested that maybe going back to plan A would be wise.
As their experience grew, more and more fish were caught. Considering today was Deep Blue’s first Bass of the season day, and the gazillion tangles, and lost lures, and weights, it was a pretty good da with a group I’m certain will return.
All the crew were using our newly serviced and fantastic Penn Fathom and Squall reels, and the full carbon Penn Prevail 2 rods.

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

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Our first day at sea for some time yesterday.
View Boats Page
Also, our first day in this years Spring Festival.
I’d heard that the fishing inshore had been pretty poor on Wednesday and Thursday so we decided to stretch the Shy-Torque’s legs and headed out to the grounds at the back of the 20 mile stream.
This proved a good choice and the lads picked away steadily on the Cod for the best part of the trip.
Average drifts producing around 5 fish or so.
Three of the lads and myself boated 12-14 fish each and the others all boating half a dozen to 10 fish each.
Final tally for the day was around 70 Codling to keep with “chuck backs “ and a handful of strap Ling.
A cracking day out all in all with perfect weather conditions.
Regular angler with us, Artur Karbarz from Skipton taking the best of the day, a Codling at just 5lb 1oz which won him the Daily Cash prize of £50.00.
Well done to Artur!
No big fish found at all but plenty of em!!
Thanks for sailing with us lads and see you again soon.
Cheers for now,
Rich

Report on-board Sweet William
We welcomed Spike and his crew of guys and girls aboard for a short run out yesterday morning. The weather was great, sunny with little to no wind…when we crossed the bar and exited the Tyne you’d think we’d just entered the perfect storm due to the direction of the horrible underlying swell direction bouncing off the piers!
View Boats Page
Thankfully once we’d got clear of the piers it calmed down, but by then we were already a couple of troops down due to seasickness.
We headed north towards Blyth and stuck inside on the rough ground and found half a dozen small codling, most undersized, with the biggest being approximately 42cm. No landing nets or digital scales required today!
After some coffees and snacks the guys perked up, so we headed back towards St. Mary’s lighthouse and found a substantial shoal of coalies for some end of morning sport. They were coming up pretty much non stop up to three at a time, with some nice sized fish amongst them. It was a cracking way to end the day, before heading home after lunch.
There were some positive signs that we may well get a spring run of codling soon, fingers crossed! :-) -

A tale of two halves.
View Boats Page
We had a lovely family onboard today who were over on their holidays visiting a family member.
The morning conditions were fantastic. Flat calm and no wind. The wind picked up after lunch and things got a bit choppy.
Morning, fishing the flood at anchor. Big baits, small baits, with a mixture of squid, mackerel and frozen lug (curse those short tides). It was a struggle. Our baits were getting nibbles, but no firm bites.
Afternoon, fishing the slack and ebb on the drift. It couldn’t have been more different from the first half of the trip. After bumping into Muscle Fishing 6 miles out in his little Tuffy, he said that they’d had some mackerel. So we hung around and sure enough, a couple of strings within seconds of each other.
A nice codling and a bigger pollack quickly followed. More mackerel, half a dozen more pollack, some gurnard, one of which was a big’un, and a string of scad rounded off our afternoon nicely.
I also snapped one of my PENN Fishing rods ♂️
