Sea Otter 2 – 15th May 2010
So half four Saturday morning soon came and we chucked the kit in the car and took the hour journey to Whitby. We popped into Rods N Reels for some squid, shads and the other bits of tackle you normally pick up, dropped it all off back in the car and then grabbed some breakfast from the cafe. After polishing off bacon and sausage butties with a nice cup of tea it was time to get on the boat and get set up.

Sea Otter 2 – How Different Two Days Can Be
Ive always said, that in fishing no 2 days are ever the same. Yesterday saw us run off only 5 miles where we fished the wrecks and hard ground. The water had cleared out lovely and the fish were playing ball and being more than willing to take unbaited shads. Today we went back to [...]
Shads Now Catching Fish On Sea Otter 2
With the weather being nothing short of brilliant today I had one of my regular teams onboard. We decided to have a go at uptiding down off Robin Hoods Bay. I wasn’t that confident, but the boats that were off wrecking yesterday had struggled so Uptiding it had to be. We made our way down [...]
