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.

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
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
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…. 👍
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
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. 👍
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
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
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
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.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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, I would like to see a close up of your pots you have for controlling your leads. It really grates on me when when I have anglers out smacking leads off the gelcoat. Thanks
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 👍
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!
@@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
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,,,,,😊
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
it may have been asked many times! but! what rods, length etc and reel do you use? the real looks like a Shimano Torium but not sure if that real is available in the nothern hemisphere?
Hi Kevin. The rod is a Century Excalibur Braid 20-40lb Class. This rod is no longer available and has been superseded by the Century Eliminator. The reel is a Daiwa 20 Saltiga LD 35. The LD 20 is also perfect for this type of fish and is just slightly smaller in size (with the same drag). 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
Andy you should make more videos for RUclips 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
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 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) 👍
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
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
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, 👍
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
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 👍
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
@@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 👍
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
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 .
Great stuff, very educational and of course entertaining. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks very much Barry. Hopefully see you again soon. 👍

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
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
Do you change the hook to trebles on the Hoki's
Hi Kevin. No, the hooks stay the same. I prefer the 6/0 Size hooks. The trebles will just cause masses of tangles. 👍
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
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?
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. 👍
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
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
What lb of braid do you use on your reels
I use 60lb braid for wreck fishing.
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. 👍
I notice when you put them back ,I get ur kinda thinking ile see you later,😊
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 👍

Hi Andy. I use the Daiwa Saltiga LD 35H for wrecking. 👍
I enjoyed that
Thanks very much Stuart.
👍👍👍👍well said bud
Thanks very much Dave 👍
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.
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 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.
Dont sea fish ,but great vid mate thanks Rob A
Really nice of you to comment Rob. Thanks a lot. 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 👍
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 real are you using
The reel is a Daiwa Saltiga LD35H Richard 👍
Why turn the rod up side down
He is my uncle!
😍😘
Do you still run trips
Yes, I run trips all year round. Regards, Andy
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
I need to get on bourd
Are you from Whitby? sad fish Locker is Not popular in Whitby anymore.
No, I wasn’t born in Whitby Tom.
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 .
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 👍👍
Nice video mate, spoiled by incredibly loud engine :(
