Fishing a Big Spring Tide at Whitby
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2023
- 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. - Спорт
Great stuff, very educational and of course entertaining. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks very much Barry. Hopefully see you again soon. 👍
👍 insight to off shore fishing. Loved it when you said " it's a shame cos they dont go back too well" and he jumped straight out of your hands.
It must have been listening and thought….I’ll show you!! 😂
All good vlogs learn a lot .loads of tips watch all your videos easy to watch great keep it up .davy .from Edinburgh .
Hi Davy. Thanks very much for the kind words. I’m glad that you found something of use. All the Best, Andy
Great video , clear precise sensible info , you know ya stuff skipper made a nice change from a lot of vids i watch where the narrator is bigging himself up all the time and its more about them than the fishing , fair play to you mate u can see you love your work and your bang on the money
Thanks very much for the kind words Freddie, I really appreciate that. Best Regards, Andy 👍🎣
Another superb video Andy. You really do work hard on the videos to remove the mystery and confusion from the game, especially for people who are new or inexperienced. We all know that you work equally hard on the boat. you deserve the diary being full.
Thanks very much Mark. Really appreciate that. Looking forward to your next day out 👍👍
Hi Andy can i have a contact nr please ot a website.thanks
@@alexandruion6037 Here is a link to me details and current availability www.charterboats-uk.co.uk/boats/detailedcalendar/?id=571&year=2023&month=6 all my contact details are on there 👍
Great Video,
Ive not fished Whitby in 40yrs, i think i should get back there.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks very much for the feedback. Maybe see you in Whitby soon…..Regards, Andy 👍
new subscriber, brings back memories, 1970s best days fishing ever on a small boat called THE CORMORANT jigging all day, back and arms ached for days, one piece rod and very large alvey centre pin reel. great video by the way.
Great memories Jeffrey…..My father-in-law always tells me about the day in the 70’s they had from Whitby, when they caught so many fish, they had to come in early, as the boat was overladen. His biggest Cod was 35lb that day.
Homemade perks, Scarborough reels and one piece whopper droppers. How times have changed…. 👍
Nice video - you take me back over 50 years fishing from the cobbles catching codling near Flamboro Head- I can remember the strength of the tide and the large amount of lead we used to make bottom - well done
Fantastic stuff Geoff. There’s still a few cobbles around today. I quite often see some of the potting lads going out for a days fishing in them with rod and line. Thanks for the kind words. Really appreciated. Regards, Andy
I love to see catch and release, yes if they’re large enough for the plate then of course keep them for eating but give the younger ones a chance to grow, there are guys who, can I say not from these shores, who keep anything they catch and either throw them back dead but just don’t let them mature, good post
That was so interesting and inspiring mate.Thank you 🎣👍😊
Thank you very much Antony. I’m glad you found it useful. 👍
Best Regards
Andy
Been a pleasure watching your video this morning. Looking forward to some more great tips. Thanks.
Thanks Norman. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I enjoy making them. Regards, Andy
What a cracking video Andy ...super tips and advice,never too old to learn they say ,your vlog is bang on.
Thanks very much Gaz. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Much appreciated 👍
Great video Andy my mates, Nick, and Glen have fished with you . I think everyone should watch this video I can't count the amount of tangles I've had when people either let out to much line or none at all and it spoils the day
Thanks very much Steve. I agree with you 100%. Tangles can really spoil a day. It’s hard for inexperienced anglers to get it straight away and some experienced anglers still struggle for some reason. 👍
Very enjoyable video to watch. Thank you.
Thank you very much Mary. Appreciate you taking the time to comment. Best Regards, Andy
Really interesting 👌 glad you returned the cod.
Thanks Trevor. Much appreciated. Regards, Andy 👍
Just found you I have to say the way you put across concise information is excellent I’m afraid other end of country but I’m stuck at home for a month so will watch all of your videos cheers
Thanks very much for the feedback Nick. Good of you to take the time to comment. Regards, Andy
No problem working my way through all of them as you say this is Whitby but a lot of your information will work anywhere
Andy, first time I’ve watched your channel, thoroughly enjoyed this very informative video, and such a pleasure to find a fishing channel with a calm, collected and genuinely knowledgeable presenter.
I like your comment at the end about this video relating pretty much exclusively to Whitby, particularly with regard to drift speeds. I fish off Littlehampton (small private boat) and even on a short tide, 1.5 knots is quite normal. On spring tides (our tidal range is roughly from 4m neaps to 6.5m springs), even 25 miles off, drift speeds can be 2.5knots plus. We still catch on the wrecks (no cod down here any more 🙁) but any wind, with or against the tide, makes it very hard, lines run away so far, especially in deep water.
I look forward to enjoying more of your work!
Tight lines.
Thanks very much for the kind words Tony. 2.5 knots through a wreck is pretty rapid, but I’m sure it’s second nature to you, as you do it all the time.
I’m not sure I’d like to try it with 10 anglers on board though!! 😂 Best Rey, Andy
Only very recently found your channel,and yes I really do enjoy watching.Thank you.👍
Thanks very much Stuart, very kind of you to take the time to comment. Best Regards, Andy
Another cracking video with a lot of information explained clearly with some good tips and tactics, thanks for sharing. Away to order some black Hokkai and give them a whirl up here in north east Scotland
Thanks very much Brian. Good luck with your future fishing trips. 🎣🐳🐳
Best Regards
Andy
Thanks for the tatics and advice Andy. just making up some rigs now, looking forward to your shad fishing tutorial and joining you in July 👍
Thanks very much Paul. Let’s hope we get the weather on our side 🤞🤞Regards, Andy
Fantastic video thanks for your information 👍
Thanks very much Andrew, much appreciated. 👍
Really enjoyed this video been a few years since I last did it thanks for whetting my appetite again 👍🏻
Thanks very much Kev. Hope you get back into it 👍🎣🐳
Always enjoy these vids,thanks mate.
Thanks very much Michael 👍👍
Great video again Andy, always want to go and pick up a rod when I see these........... fingers crossed for good weather on the 16th & 24th 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks Tony. Let’s hope for some decent weather 🤞🤞
Learnt a lot here, thank you.
Thanks very much for taking the time to comment, I'm really glad that you found it useful. All the Best, Andy 👍
What a good guy I would love to be on his boat and fish with him he would make a great friend best wishes Kinnon.
Thanks Kinnon 👍👍
Great video, Andy
Re-enforced the advice you gave on Monday.
Thanks again
Thanks very much David. You all did brilliantly considering the tide conditions
Cheers Andy great to watch
Thanks for the kind words Gaz. Hopefully see you on the 16th 👍
Great video - very clear explanations.
Thanks very much Andrew. Very good of you to say so. Regards, Andy
Absolutely excellent,thank you very much 👏⭐️👍
Thanks very much Cliff. I’m glad you found it useful. Best Regards, Andy
Well done hope to see you out there tight lines Alain
Thanks very much Alain 👍🎣🐳 Regards, Andy
Really enjoy your videos Andy, I'm new to the game and everything is so clearly explained with no flannel. Sadly, I live on the south coast so the opportunity to visit Whitby is scarce but one day hopefully, a chance to learn more from you on Sea Urchin for real.
Thanks for your kind words Raymond. I really appreciate the feedback. Hopefully get you on board for a days fishing in the future. Regards, Andy
I really enjoy your videos, very informative as well as just a good old watch. Thanks for taking the time to do them. P.S.there's not mant skippers that are poor anglers , Ive been with a few, you guys know how to fish. Thanks again Andy.
Thanks Andy. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 👍👍
Just stumbled across the video WOW what an excellent insight into boat fishing from Whitby, absolutely love that area and would love to go out with you on the boat.
Thanks very much Mike. I’m glad that you found it useful. Best Regards, Andy
very informative and helpful video. I enjoyed that cheers
Thank you very much. I’m really glad it helped a bit. Regards, Andy
Expat in ozzie,takes me back to when i was a lad going to bridlington waiting for the cobbles coming back in they would be comlng off with huge strings of cod,they could hardly lift them that was in the late 60s hundreds of fish day after day.happy days.
Fantastic times Roy. 👌
Nice vid mate ,, we fish Arbroath boats through the summer pretty much the same tactics but all the guy make there own rigs up two up with a long trace on the bottom few beeds and a metal spinner blade,, always fresh lug and mussel is the best bait squid and frozen are rarely used to good afect and its all drifting over the hard rough ground cheers
Thanks for the feedback. Different baits and rigs seem to work better in different areas. I always say to use what you're confident in. But if you go to an area that you haven't fished much before, don't try and reinvent the wheel.The local knowledge is usually. best. 👍
Thankyou for making and sharing your video it’s probably the most informative video I have ever watched on the subject. I have booked on a charter out of Scarborough next month and will definitely try your rigs and techniques and I will try and book on your boat in the near future keep doing what you do I look forward to meeting you soon Thankyou!
Hi Carl. Thanks very much for the kind words and taking the time to comment. I hope the video helped a bit and that you have a great trip out from Scarborough.
Maybe see you aboard Sea Urchin for a day out in the future.
Best Regards
Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing cheers I will keep my eye on availability for your trips Thankyou for your reply
Thanks for a great video, looking forward to seeing one about shad fishing sometime 🎣
Thanks Tim. I love Shad Fishing. It's my favourite way to fish.
Another great vid cuz. Your mam has said the same to me about ling being too fishy. I’ll have to pop through for a visit soon.
Thanks Dave. Mackerel are here now, so let me know when you fancy a trip out. 👍
Fantastic video and showing new Anglers to look after the fish and not every fish to be killed.
Thanks very much John. Definitely only take what you need. I love fish, but don’t take more than we need. Regards, Andy 👍
This is fantastic to read. The lack of consideration for the fish on most boats puts me off going out usually, but I may have a go with this guy. Watching fish slowly flap their way to death makes me feel sick for the minds of the folk who let them die in this way.
Thanks Andy for replying and showing people how to fish and to respect the fish and take only what you need. I'll be following your channel.
I subbed.
@@Ukmongoose3 Hi UKmongoose3 thanks for message of support. I good skipper like Andy Id always go out with repeatedly and bad run charter boats I don't go on again. I never take to many fish and always if I am taking a fish hit it on the head. I absolutely hate cruelty on charter boats I've had to say to people in the past like rescently on a boat fishing for tope. 100s of mackeral immature haddock whiting Pollock coal fishing left flapping about and left in a bucket in the sun all went to waste. Good fishing you feel good afterwards this I felt horrible after witnessing this.
Love the videos
Thanks very much Ingrid. 👍👍
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. 👍👍
I miss Whitby I lived there for 10 year I used to work in Whitby angling supply’s at least I can get to see Whitby know I have found this channel have the mackral come in the bay yet
Great video.
Thanks.
Thanks very much for the kind words 👍 Regards, Andy
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.
Great video buddy.
Thanks very much Nick. Appreciate the feedback.,
Best regards
Andy
Good video, i live in Shropshire, tide goes out a long way! But i fly fish, and your remark on (this is the laxt cast today), applies to usall .
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
Great video, take care 😎👍
Thanks Conor, much appreciated 👍👍
Really enjoyed that mate just subbed
Thanks very much Mick, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Regards, Andy
I'm a freshwater angler, I know the old 'I'm gonna have one more cast'!😂
I love Whitby, haven't been for a few years, never been wreck fishing, I'd love to go!
Once an angler, always an angler Nick. Hopefully see you on board one day. Regards, Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing How much does it cost for the day, and what times do you go out? Might save up for a weekend camping trip!
@@supernoodles91 It’s £55 for 10hr trip Nick. Full tackle hire is also available for £17. Includes all leads, traces etc for the day. Hope to get you on board at some point. My availability can be views here www.charterboats-uk.co.uk/boats/detailedcalendar/?id=571&year=2023&month=6
I’ve booked a fishing trip on the Mistress mid September.
The skipper is called Rich, looking forward to it.
I’m sure you’ll have a great day with Rich 👍🎣🐳
great vid
Thanks for taking the time to comment David. Much appreciated. Regards, Andy
Hi I've just found your channel and it looks really good, I have been after getting up to Whitby fishing for a long time. What would you recommend for a novice? I have been out a couple of times in Cornwall but that was a while ago, not too much but a decent while as its about 150 miles each way to Whitby from where I live
Thanks mate very interesting, regards Tel Garbett
Thanks very much Tel. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. All the best, Andy
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
Hi Andy, just watched a couple of your vlogs, you have me hooked now, have subscribed and liked. Could you also tell me the depth you were fishing the wreck in, sorry if you have already informed somebody already.
Thanks very much for the kind words Tony. The wreck was in 50m of water. Once you get a couple of miles offshore at Whitby the depth is fairly consistent between 50-60m.
Best Regards
Andy
Cracking video thank you. What are those black feathers that you using please mate.
Hi James . They are Black Hokkai Rigs, which you can Ready-Tied from tackle shops. I use the ones with 6/0 Hooks and tied on 60lb Mono. 👍
👍👍👍👍well said bud
Thanks very much Dave 👍
Nice fishing lad
Thank you. Much appreciated 👍👍
spot on
Thanks very much. Really appreciate the feedback 👍
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing we enjoy every one,thanks
Great video,ive bought a sib so learning lots from you. Do you keep the engine running while drifting over the target area or just silently drift please ?
I keep the engine running all day whilst fishing. When we drift the rough ground at Whitby, the depth of water is 50m, so the engine makes no discernible difference. If drifting close inside in 8 Fathom or less, it would be advantageous to drift silently. Regards, Andy
I notice when you put them back ,I get ur kinda thinking ile see you later,😊
The muppet rigs you used on hard ground, where did you get them please. Loved the video very informative
Hi Dave. The Muppet rigs I tie myself and the Hookai Traces you can buy from most tackle shops. I have both available on the boat if needed. Regards, Andy 👍
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing thanks for the reply
Very good, I prefer rough ground reef fishing to wreck fishing. I caught my biggest cod (301b) off skiiningrove on rough ground in the 1980s, my rod snapped and I had to hand haul it in, one of the other hooks were gone so I dont Know if there were 2 fish on to start with
That’s a brilliant story John. There’s some lovely ground at Skinningrove. A 30lb Cod is as rare as hen’s teeth round here nowadays unfortunately. 👍
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing Do you ever take individuals for bookings?
I enjoyed that
Thanks very much Stuart.
Great video, great stuff 👏 are you use 16oz lead?
Thanks Pawel. Yes, I always use a 16oz in the larger tides. It’s gives much better control of the tackle 👍 Regards, Andy
What's your shortest trips Gary.. been out a few times when I was younger and lost my breakfast. I'd love to have another bash. Can you book late when you know if it's going to be fairly calm.
Hi Alan. My trips are 10hrs. If there are spaces available you can just book the day before. Regards , Andy 👍
Hello Andy
What sort of reel are you using in your video.
Do they do them in left handed! It is looking fairly easy reel that weight up with that long handle 👍
Thanks
Keith
Hi Keith. It’s a Daiwa Saltiga LD 35. They are available in LH.
Regards
Andy
I need to get on bourd
Great video Andy 👍
Can I ask what outfit you're using there please?
Hi George. I’m using a Century Excalibur Braid Rod 20-40lb Class and a Daiwa Saltiga LD35H reel loaded with 60lb Braid. Regards, Andy
Thanks Andy.
Very nice indeed.
What lb of braid do you use on your reels
I use 60lb braid for wreck fishing.
Hi. What size Daiwa reel do you use? 10, 20, 35, 40 or 50?
Hi Dave. For the bait fishing I use a Saltiga 35 and a Saltiga 20 for Shad fishing. To be fair, the 20 size Saltiga is fine for both applications, as I t has 12kg of drag. The 35 is also good for fishing for bigger fish. Regards, Andy
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing thank you for your quick reply Andy.
What size braid would you recommend for the 20?
Ive not fished whitby for 40yrs, i need to get back soon.
Great videos, 👍
@@davesedgy7058 I prefer to use 60lb braid Dave. 👍
Dont sea fish ,but great vid mate thanks Rob A
Really nice of you to comment Rob. Thanks a lot. Regards, Andy
I noticed you popping the swim bladder of a small ling and we’re wondering if you think they survive even though they swim down ok just Killer and Copey said they then drown so it’s better off taking them.
Hi Paul. Nobody can really answer that question. They swim off and that’s that. If the fish are of a decent size, I will take them and give them away. Can’t take undersized though. It’s a shame they’re not a bit more robust like Congers.
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing that’s exactly what I do as I can’t stand watching the gully’s pecking them to pieces…Looking forward to the shading videos (my favourite method when the water clears) 👍
@@paulharland7714 I caught on Shads tight inside this week, so things are shaping up nicely at last Paul. Regards, Andy
How much is it on your charter boat for a fishing session
Hi Gary. A 10hr trip is £55.00 and Full Tackle Hire is also available for £17.00. Regards, Andy
Do the tides stay the same roughly each year ?
The tidal range stays roughly the same Bryan and all the tides are driven mainly by the orbiting position of the sun and moon. Tides change in height - low water and high water vary throughout the month. The tides build up to a maximum and fall to a minimum twice a month. The tides with the biggest difference between high and low water are called springs and those with the smallest are called neaps.
Spring tides happen just after every full and new moon, when the sun, moon and earth are in line with each other. Neap tides occur when the moon is in the first or third quarter - when the sun, earth and moon form a right angle. The regular motion of the sun, moon and earth cause spring tides to occur roughly 36 to 48 hours after the full or new moon.
Not all spring tides are the same size. Springs nearest the equinoxes (21 March and 21 September) are slightly bigger.
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing thanks mate. What is the minimum amount of anglers you’d go out with ?
@@bryanhutchison9982 I will go out with five anglers minimum Bryan. Or the whole boat can be booked for £530.00 for up to ten anglers. 👍
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing does it cost any more than £55 if only 5 go out or can 5 just book the whole boat for £530
@@bryanhutchison9982 if there are only five people booked on (who haven’t booked the whole boat) it is still £55 per person. I don’t add on any surcharge for running with less anglers 👍
Why turn the rod up side down
What size weight do u use what oz
16oz Leads on bait traces for the big tides Nathan. Regards, Andy
Is a 4.7 to 5.0 a good tide for wreck or will it be a mix bag wreck an rough
@@nathanmcintosh2527you can’t just say yes or no based on tide height. It would depend on the strength and direction of the wind, how far out you are going to fish and the times of tides. I’ve fished the wrecks all day before on 4.7-4.9m but that isn’t always possible.
You also have to factor in angler ability. Not a simple, straightforward answer.
He is my uncle!
😍😘
What real are you using
The reel is a Daiwa Saltiga LD35H Richard 👍
Do you ever catch anything you CAN take home, that doesn't taste of fish?
We love Cod, so when we need some, I take some for the table. I don’t just take them for the sake of it. 👍
@@whitbywreckandreeffishing If you don't need to freeze your catch, letting them go is the best option, even though they won't thank you if you catch them again at a later date.
Hi Andy a bit different from gigantica day s
Hi Trevor. Yes it’s a bit different from Gigantica, but thoroughly enjoyable. Running my own business, I get the rewards from the efforts I put in 👍👍
At the end of the day! People won't to catch fish doent matter what tide it is! They don't no that its just catch fish when they pay to go out on a boat for the day
Are you from Whitby? sad fish Locker is Not popular in Whitby anymore.
No, I wasn’t born in Whitby Tom.
Nice video mate, spoiled by incredibly loud engine :(
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 .
