Shad Fishing for Cod at Whitby
Fishing with Shads is great fun and can catch plenty of fish at Whitby.
The aim of the video is to give an insight into the tackle to use and the methods of actually fishing the Shads. It isn't difficult to do, but is still a quite underused tactic on my Charter Boat.
Why not give it a go next time you're out boat fishing......

Fishing a Big Spring Tide at Whitby

The last dates in the diary to get booked are the Spring Tides. I made this video to demonstrate that you can still have some great sport on the Spring Tides. It's all about controlling the tackle. The fish are still there, but you have to co troll the tackle properly to get consistent bites.

Uptiding for Codling - Boosted Baits v Natural Baits
Переглядів 12 тис.Рік тому
An unscientific test to look at the difference between fishing boosted baits against regular baits during a couple of hours fishing at Whitby. Some anglers swear by dipping their baits in a secret concoction they have made up. Does it really make a difference to your catch rate, or is it more of a confidence booster? This test was conducted using frozen squid and frozen Black Lugworm. Fresh/Liv...

Bait Fishing for Mackerel at Whitby
Переглядів 7 тис.Рік тому
Everyone likes catching Mackerel. On Sea Urchin, we catch them for bait in the summer before we target the Codling & Ling. I regularly see some common mistakes that people make, who aren't familiar with the "Macky Bash"!. I had hoped to make a Shadding Video today, but the big tide and wind made the drift impossible. Hopefully, a couple of pointers for those who are new to boat fishing.

Whitby Cod Fishing - Uptiding Tactics and Tips
Переглядів 26 тис.2 роки тому
A video for boat anglers visiting Whitby in the winter for some Uptiding/Downtiding fishing. Basic advice and tips to get you going, so you can make the most of your day at sea on Sea Urchin III. Really sorry about the poor sound quality in parts. The wind was a lot stronger than anticipated. Something I need to work on in the future.
The last time I fished Whitby was aboard Sea Trek with skipper Stuart. He invited us to his home for a barbecue and then we fished the festival the day after. Great memories and great fishing. I'm not sure if he still does sea fishing trips as I heard he sold seatrek.
Fantastic videos to learn the techniques. Thought I new what I was doing until watching all these videos.
Thanks very much Damon, I'm glad that you found it useful. There's always lots of different ways to catch the fish, but I've found this to work well around Whitby. Best regards, Andy
When I worked ground works I did not have a clue of the job when i started coming at the time off a farm. But I learned one thing. watch someone who knows what they are doing and learn from them. I ended up running some jobs. I would learn a lot from you as you are strait forward in your idea as to how to fish. so I would rape you for all your info as to how to fish in the sea. By the way, I love Whitby been there a number of times after fossils.
There fishing for cod not Shad ???
I have a 3.2m air deck inflatable with a 9.9hp, looking to comes to Whitby to get experience of using the boat in salt water (plenty of river experience) . Choose Whitby for the harbour launch. Once I get some experience with the sailing part I'm going to do some fishing too, so watching your vids with interest. Can you give me any advice for best Whitby conditions, wind direction, wave size etc., for a small craft like mine? I'm never planning on going very far out of course. Just don't want to have wasted drives up there or struggle the second I get outside the wall. Thx for replies.
Hi Andrew. I'm not an unhelpful person, but I don't want give advice on "best tides" and "best winds" over the internet. There are a lot of factors which determine whether we go to sea or not (not just wind and tide) and could well be misinterpreted by someone who is inexperienced if I were to advise.. One thing to always be concious of is that Whitby is a North Facing Port, so any wind from NW round to SE comes to us unabated by land, so always have that at the forefront of your mind. If you're planning on heading out to sea in a small craft, I would honestly advise doing an Online Course at the very minimum. Navathome are great to deal with. So that would be my piece of advice. www.navathome.com/rya-day-skipper.aspx?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxJnPjsX4hAMVH5lQBh14HwEpEAAYASAAEgJm-PD_BwE regards Andy

Great Andy Thanks 🎉
Thanks very much Krystian 👍👍
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing See you soon 😉
I went fishing out of whitby..on the north star..the captain was tut uttley.
I was brought up in Maske by sea, my dad had a boat that was launched off a trailer at Saltburn. We used to catch cod, whiting, ling, mackerel etc. But, this was 50 years ago. I'm knocking on a bit now. Great video, thank you.
Thanks very much for your kind words. I’m sure you must have some fantastic memories and fishing stories from back in the glory days. Best Regards, Andy 👍
fantastic fishing!!
Thanks Krystian. Very kind of you to say so. Best Regards, Andy
Fantastic video as always ,great cant wait to fishing with you!!
Thanks very much, I’m glad it was useful. Look forward to seeing you aboard Sea Urchin. Regards, Andy
You do brilliant enjoyable videos
Thanks very much for taking the time to comment. I’m glad that you found it useful. Many Thanks, Andy
Der Typ hat K E I N E Ahnung vom Wrackangeln.
Nice boat nice fishing rod's i am a century man love the rods they make expensive but quietly fishing rods . Some good fishing 🎣 👌 👍
Thanks Ben. I’ve had quite a few Century Rods over the years. 3 sets of different carp rods, plus boat and shore rods. I’ve always found them to be ultra reliable, great build quality and components and even more importantly, they’re an absolute joy to use. 👌👌
Great video, always wanted to go fishing on a boat but I'm seasick on wet grass. lol. So I stick to beach casting.
Thanks very much John. My Mum won’t even walk in the pontoon, let alone get on the boat. It’s not nice suffering with seasickness. 👍👍
Really interesting 👌 glad you returned the cod.
Thanks Trevor. Much appreciated. Regards, Andy 👍
Is Ian rod a 12/20 or a lighter model?
Ian uses a Daiwa Saltiga Braid Special 15-25lb for Shadding 👍
@@whitbywreckandreeffishingthey must have stopped making them. Can’t find one anywhere.
I agree with Surfpet31 - very watchable and informative. If I had the chance to visit Whitby for a boat trip this would be my first choice - thanks for a lovely vid
Thank you very much for the kind words, I’m glad that you enjoyed it Malcolm. Best Regards, Andy
Hi mate great video, do you fish with lighter leader in order to stop braid loss?
Thanks for the kind words. I don’t use any leader at all. In the event of becoming snagged up, if you use a breaker correctly (plenty of wraps of braid around it) the braid will break at the weakest point which is the knot at the end where the crane swivel is attached. That way you don’t lose any braid. Regards Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing brilliant thanks Andy! Hope to see some more of your videos soon
"Shad" ? Last i heard thats an Edistone eel.
New subscriber loved it I am definitely going to book a trip with you this year, keep the videos coming they keep me going till I can get on the water myself but its a bit difficult as i live right in the middle of the country ...Hope to soon meet you in person .
Thanks very much Barry, I’m glad you found it useful. Hopefully I’ll see you aboard Sea Urchin at some point. Best Regards, Andy
Very enjoyable video to watch. Thank you.
Thank you very much Mary. Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Best Regards, Andy
Thank you, just the info I needed. Rig is nice & simple, so easy to remember.
Thanks very much Andrew. I’m glad that you found it useful. Many Thanks, Andy
Ayup Andy that wreck is it the tarman ? In line with a white building,,,,fished it 35 years ago, rammed with huge ling,,,,they were the knee deep days,,,,,,awesome,,,,,😊
Hi Steve. It’s the Buzzer off Robin Hoods Bay. Don’t generally get loads of Ling off it, mainly Codling. 👍👍 Regards Andy
So....where is the fish 😂?
Love to fish off a boat sometime always down that end any skippers able to help me
Very good videos with great information And for free
Thank you very much. I’m really happy that you found them useful. Best Regards Andy
Where do you normally get your muppets from please
I get them from a nearby tackle shop. They are the 5” Fisheagle Muppets. Regards Andy
Might be a silly question but can you use a beachcaster for uptide fishing
Hi Jamie Whilst it is physically possible to use a Beach-Casting type rod, they really aren’t ideal for Uptiding, as they are too long. For Uptiding, I like a rod in the 8-9ft range (most Beach-casters are 12-14ft). Using such a long rod, you will be looking up into the sky all day (makes some people poorly). Also, when the boat swings around on the tide, the long rods are bending right over and I’ve seen quite a few snap. I would advise to use the tackle provided on the boat if you’re unsure. My hire tackle consists of Daiwa Super Kenzaki Uptiding Rods and Shimano Aerlex Reels, which are ideal for the job. Regards Andy
Many Thanks for the information much appreciated 👍
Another question.When using a jelly worm such as a Mr Twister,can i thread it straight onto a hook or should i be threading it onto a weighted jig head? Does it make any difference ?....
I would always put a Jellyworm on a Jighead Micky. I have 1oz, 2oz, 3oz and 4oz Jigheads to cover the different tides we experience at Whitby. I like to fish with the lightest I can get away with. Regards Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing Thank you
Ahoy Andy. That was a pleasure to watch the video with my son. He was asking many questions and you answered nearly all of them later in the video as if you were listening to him 😂 My bricklayer Joseph asked me recently if I would like to join him on a trip. However I wonder how many people make it viable for you to do it. Another roofer who work with me loves fishing too but he is worried about having no equipment for sea fishing. Is it possible to hire some equipment from you or would you advise to bring own rod? We all have some but I use ultra light rods 1-7g as well as fly fishing rod. So that would be useless on your boat. I would prefer to buy some lures and bring it over to try and if you provide life baits it would be great (assuming it's an extra cost?) Lots of questions but I could always write to you in your chosen way so you an reply when it's convenient to you. Peter Ps. Greeting for Ian he seems like a great companion!
Hi Peter Thanks very much for the kind words, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. It would be great to get you and a few friends aboard Sea Urchin. I welcome both experienced anglers and complete novices aboard, and I really enjoy getting new anglers fishing well and have all the tackle aboard to make sure they are equipped properly, for whatever we are doing. My booking calendar is always bang up to date and can be viewed at www.charterboats-uk.co.uk/boats/detailedcalendar/?id=571&year=2024&month=2 If there are any more questions you would like me to answer, feel free to drop me a message on the Sea Urchin FB page or IG. Best Regards Andy
Why have a link swivel above the trace? Why not just thread the barrel swivel and trace straight on to the line?...Good vid,btw
Thanks Mickey. If I understand what you're saying, I don't want the swivel running on braid, as it is too supple and the shad won't work as well. Apologies if I haven't got it right. Regards Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing I forgot that you don't use a mono leader.I prefer to use a leader and i put the trace onto the leader.Many thanks for the reply..
Great video , would love to come out on the boat with you sometime. What’s your charter company called please ?
Thanks very much for the kind words Adam. My boat is Sea Urchin III. www.charterboats-uk.co.uk/boats/detailedcalendar/?id=571&year=2024&month=2 It would be great to have you aboard for a days fishing. Best Regards, Andy

Thanks very much Victor. I do take fish from time to time, but never more than needed. Thanks very much for the kind words. Best Regards, Andy
Great fishing my friend
Thanks for taking the time to comment Victor. Much appreciated. Regards, Andy
Great fishing 🎉🎉
Thanks very much Victor. 👍
Very good and informative video, I have watched many of you videos and enjoy all your content. A couple of questions if you would be kind enough to answer them. What would be your maximum speed of tide to anchor in and what type of anchor do you use over rough ground? Why such a short up-tiding season? I have a small leisure fast fisher I keep up in Peterhead northeast Scotland, this time of year we seldom get out and when we do finding the fish is challenging as they have moved away from their summer haunts.
Hi Brian. Thanks for the kind words. To answer the questions…. We anchor in tides of up to 6.0m and due to the rough nature of the ground a Grapnel anchor is the most useful. We tend to fish the wrecks and rough ground until the water becomes coloured/stirred up at which point, the fishing changes. The Uptiding comes into its own when the water holds plenty of colour. Once the water clears out again in the Spring, the wrecks and offshore rough ground kick back in. Hope that makes sense. Best Regards Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishingHi Andy, seasons greetings to you and yours. Thanks for the information
Andy you should make more videos for UA-cam a bit like your Facebook update especially when you are getting a lot of views I for one would tune in to watch hopefully see you on the 6th of January pal Aaron
Hi Aaron. Thanks for the kind words. I'm hoping to try and make a few more videos, but it's not easy for me. It's a fine balancing act between going out to sea with a full boat and earning a living, versus going out on my own. I have got plenty of dates planned in the diary to do some different things, but I just hope that the "Weather Gods" have looked at my availability!! Hopefully see you on the 6th January for a good day out. All the best. Andy
i fished here in the late 80s and had the time of my life ........those days are gone , i fish every now and again but the catch numbers are Pathetic .
I'm not sure how you can claim the catch numbers are "pathetic" if you don't really fish at Whitby very often. The fishing isn't the same as it was 40 years ago, but I don't suppose it is in most places; things change. Most of the "Freezer Fillers" don't bother any more, but the real anglers still come and enjoy a day out. To coin an old phrase.....It's fishing, not catching. Regards Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing I follow the fish reports from anglers and whitby based boats , It's not a dig at the industry or whitby it's just a fact the catches are pathetic to what they were. Let's not forget those freezer fillers back in the eighties were feeding their families. You have a business to run and it's not an easy one , all the best to you .
