Thanks very much for the kind words. Best Regards, Andy

The Black Lug came from the Tackle Shop in Whitby. Hook, Line & Sinker. They’re Welsh Blacks. They still stick and supply them. 👍

400g/1lb packs of Squid 👍

you don't have a knot on the loop

@@Pigeon291 there are two loops on the ends of the rig

Hi Carl. I tie a large Figure of Eight knot in each end so you can loop to loop everything on and off easily. Cheers, Andy

Thanks very much for taking time to comment. Hopefully see you next year for a trip out. Best Regards, Andy 👍

Cheers Jim, thanks very much for the kind words. Please keep your channel going. It inspires me to not get rid of my Carp gear! I haven’t had a go for a year or so, but your videos and style of fishing are what I want to get back to in a few years. Best Regards Andy 👍

Hi Bob. Thanks very much. When you are using the wrecking traces, I find that you normally lose everything. That's the reason why I use so few components on the trace itself (a muppet, two hooks and a bit of line). I know some people like to use a rotten bottom and sometimes they just lose the lead, but from my observations, I think that is counter intuitive. There's so much old gear on the wrecks, that quite often you can pull through it, getting all your gear back. But when I have to do this for anglers fishing with a rotten bottom, I find that they lose more leads than the anglers who are fishing straight through. The wrecking rig is the only one I use that isn't tapered to break off just the hooks. Hope that makes sense. Regards Andy

@@whitbywreckandreeffishing Cheers Pal.

Thanks very much Kevin. I think we’re all probably guilty of buying loads of tackle we don’t need (I know I am! 😅). Don’t get into Slow pitch Jigging…..cost me a fortune buying all manner them 😂😂

@ too late Andy already have but without much success unfortunately I still get out fished by the old style Hartlepool rippers

Thank you very much Martin. Best Regards, Andy

Thanks Tony, hopefully we've broken your weather curse now mate!! 😂

Thanks for the kind feedback. I think the Shadding on the South Coast is primarily aimed at catching Pollock, which sit at different depths and like a chase. Up here in the North we are targeting Codling (in the main) and they are generally caught on the bottom, or just off it. That's why hopping works sp well up here I think. Regards Andy

@ it is pollock which is the main target when I go south. Us ‘northerners’ have to get use to just keep winding when a pollock is plucking the tail of the lure, don’t stop or strike. Just keep winding & let the fish hook itself when it goes for a dive,

Thanks very much for the kind words. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks very much Fred. I’m sure there will be some things that will be transferrable for some of the species you target. Good luck with your fishing. Best Regards, Andy 👍

Hi Oliver. If you are on the back of the boat and are casting downtide at Whitby, I recommend using the same 6oz grip leads. The reason for this is two-fold. Firstly, the ground which we fish at anchor in the winter is rough to very rough. If you cast a regular lead downtide, generally it will roll around in the tide, until it falls down in-between some rocks etc, More often than not, this results in lost tackle from what I have observed. Obviously, if you were fishing on broken or sandy ground, this tactic of using a regular lead would work well. Secondly, when fishing at anchor on a Charter boat, there are multiple lines running through the back of the boat. Any leads which are rolling around in the tide just increase the number of tangles we get. That said, I do have some regulars who like to put on a regular 12oz lead and just lower it over the side and catch under the boat. Hope that helps. Regards Andy

Thanks Tom. I have a few lads who use custom Japanese rods, so I’m guessing it won’t be them you’re referring to. Other than that, the rods are off the shelves from the main usual brands. Regards, Andy

Thanks very much Ray. It’s great to hear that it’s been useful for you. Good luck with your future trips on the south coast 🎣🐳

Thanks very much Terry. Grateful for the positive feedback. Best Regards, Andy

Hi Nathaniel. Yes, I remember the day you were with us Shadding. I’d love to do more videos but it’s just finding the time and weather windows to have a go. Hopefully see you for another day out in the future mate. Best Regards, Andy

Thanks very much for taking the time to respond Ian. Much appreciated. Best Regards, Andy

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated. 👍

Thanks very much Brian. Really appreciate the support. Best Regards, Andy

Fingers crossed for some decent weather Chris 🤞👍

Hi Chris There’s a link to my booking calendar here. www.charterboats-uk.co.uk/boats/detailedcalendar/?id=571&year=2024&month=11 Hopefully see you aboard Sea Urchin for a day out soon. Regards, Andy

Hi skipper could I book a space for one on the 6th of November please time and place for boarding, best regards 👍

Would we be wrecking or up tiding best baits to take best regards.

@@chrisbateman4100 drop me a message on 07855 439380 and we’ll get it sorted. Cheers, Andy

Thanks Mike. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks very much Jay. I’m glad that you found them to be useful. I’m trying to make a few more, more regularly. Hopefully see you aboard Sea Urchin for a day out in the future. Best Regards Andy

I like to have the stand-off loop around 12 inches above the lead. By the time the muppet, hooks and bait are added, the bait will be 6-8 inches off the bottom. I find this helps reduce getting stuck in the wrecks quite as much as a trace which is dragging bottom. Hope that helps. Regards, Andy

Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you found it useful. Every rod blank is different; some have faster tapers than others etc. But to answer the question, the 14-40g rating on this Lure rod is the “casting weight” parameters. When fishing from the boat you are just lowering or flicking a short distance with this style of fishing, so there is no compromise. I’ve fished this setup in 50m of water and 6oz is definitely the most I would use. After that the Rod wasn’t as responsive and couldn’t move the lure. Regards, Andy

Thank you for replying, looking forward to more videos,I'm learning a lot from you 👍

Thanks. The water is shallow outside of the harbour on the Rock Top at Whitby, which is where you see the waves breaking sometimes. It depends entirely on which direction the wind and tide are, as well as how much swell there is as to whether Sandsend is ok. Generally a wind which is off land will afford you some shelter at Sandsend. In a small SIB, it wants to be fairly flat. We had the Whitby Lifeboat out to two idiots fishing in a SIB on the five mile ground in thick fog with Northerly winds and swell yesterday. Despite the advice of the RNLI, they thought they were ok and knew better, so stayed out there. As you probably know, sea conditions can change in minutes. Be safe and happy fishing. Regards, Andy

@@whitbywreckandreeffishing Cheers, yeah I'm just figuring it out but hopefully not taking any chances. Appreciate the advice 👍

Thanks very much. I haven't been down to the boat today to take a picture, but basically the "lead pots" are from B&Q from the plumbing section. I just drill two holes in the bottom (to release water) and then four holes in the side and Cable Tie them to the rail. Hope that helps a bit. Regards, Andy 👍

Hi Nathaniel. Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad that you found the videos useful. The braid I use for wrecking is 60lb Spectra. It’s nice and robust. It’s not the thinnest diameter, but you’re not casting with it, so it’s absolutely fine. You can get Daiwa J Braid multi coloured for around £30 or the Spectra multi coloured for much less www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351973664036 Regards Andy

Thanks John. We generally fish in 50-60m off Whitby. I honestly think that people should use the colour they are most confident in, as there doesn’t seem to be any hard and fast rule. When the fish are feeding well, you’ll usually catch on any colour. Regards Andy

@@whitbywreckandreeffishing Yes, at that depth the only colour fish would see is blue. All other colours would appear dark grey, so if it isn't blue the colour doesn't matter.

Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad that you found it useful. Many Thanks, Andy

Yes, I run trips all year round. Regards, Andy

Hi Andy. I use the Daiwa Saltiga LD 35H for wrecking. 👍

Hi John. Yes, there is a slipway for launching in the Harbour, run by North Yorkshire Council. Regards, Andy
