Great video, I think bait presentation is very important and you make it look so easy. I look forward to my next trip when I will try a bit harder. Thx for taking the time to share your experience. 🎣🎣
I think having good bait and changing it regularly is the single biggest factor when Uptiding on a Charter Boat Barry. I see it day in day out. Hopefully get you back on board again soon. 👍
You may be advertising your charter trips Andy but your presentation is second to none, great tips, good advice and above all visible bites. I would join you tomorrow we’re I not so old. Well done. JB
Another great video. Very informative and enjoyable. My favourite view on the planet is looking back at Whitby from the boat as you steam out from the harbour. Can’t wait to get back there! Tight lines!
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
I have fished Whitby and the surrounding are for sixty years and still keep a boat at Sandsend which where is my Dads family came from. I have caught loads of Codling, Billet etc but never a Doggie! Nearest place I have caught one is Bridlington. Mind you, some anglers would say I`ve been lucky. Great video look forward to seeing more.
Thanks for the kind words Gordon. There are a few Doggies knocking around nowadays, certain areas usually see a couple come up. They’re not a real nuisance yet and I hope it stays that way. 👍
Hi Andy really enjoy your videos and even though i've been uptiding off Scarborough for 30 years I find your videos very informative. I now have a have a fixed spool with braid (having for many years used nylon and a multiplier) but it doesn't have the QD facility and over slack water I definately think you need it. Unfortunately I cant find many QD reels of over 6000 size and wonder what reel you use apart from it being a Diawa . I also note your lack of using a shock leader but you don't seem to have any issues - even when wreck fishing. Your thought would be appreciated. Tight lines. Steve
Hi Steve. The fixed spool reels I use on my hire tackle are www.tradeinn.com/waveinn/en/shimano-fishing-aerlex-xsb-surfcasting-reel/136386578/p?id_producte=4669056&country=uk&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjJW15MqHgQMVkcPtCh0CoAqNEAQYCyABEgIIPfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds they have plenty of power for what we catch and are very reasonably priced. I load them up with 60lb braid www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324790559287?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=EAIaIQobChMIw7yHu8yHgQMV0NbtCh1mgAc7EAQYAyABEgLSQvD_BwE I’ve never found the need to put on a shock leader, as I fish from the boat. No need for casting etc. It just takes up more time, which ultimately costs you bites. Regards, Andy
Great video really enjoyed watching. Have you tried a springy uptide Gemini gripper? Just wondering if/why you prefer the breakout leads? Hope to get out with you soon!
Thanks for the great feedback. I've seen a few lads use the Springy Grippers, but they do seem to get stuck more often. It's rough rocky ground we fish in, so I prefer the breakaway's. 👍
Verry nice video again ! Is it also an option to use rolling sinkers but slightly more havey and let it slowly roll? What i noticed on the other and this video that you call it uptiding but you are downtiding . Can you make a video on UP tiding ? and explain why and when you uptide , bennefits and downside of it ? Personally i like to uptide instead of downtiding (Westerschelde Netherlands) . Greatings and tide lines !
Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated. Rolling sinkers are a great option to move the bait around. But what I find on a Charter Boat is that a rolling bait causes nothing but tangles. With eight anglers fishing on the boat, we need the leads to grip in and not move, or it spoils the fishing for everyone else. I was officially "downtiding" but on a normal fishing day, there will be people Uptiding and Downtiding on the same boat. In Whitby, we have become accustomed to calling a winter fishing trip (where we fish at anchor) as an Uptiding Trip. The remainder of the year we fish on the drift. Hope that makes sense Regards Andy
Love the video but two questions if I may. Why do you prefer using fixed spools for uptiding and secondly is it worth struggling with a specialist uptider at ten foot as against a shorter rod ie a 20-30 ugly stick ?
Hi Barry. I prefer to use a fixed spool for Uptiding as they are great to use when only a short flick away from the boat is required (I see a lot of leads bouncing back, when people try to do it with a multiplier). Also, the "Quick Drag" is a great feature for when the boat swings a bit in the tide; allowing you to instantly release some braid without moving the lead. You can certainly get away without buying a bespoke Uptide rod and a Fixed Spool Reel. The 20/30 Ugly Stick is absolutely fine. Any 20/30lb rod with a softish tip will be ok. Any reel that holds line will also do the job. Like anything, you can buy whatever you like to do the job. I love Uptiding, so spent the money to get what I felt was the best rod for the job. I don't like the 10ft rods, preferring 8-9ft. Horses for Courses I suppose. Best Regards Andy
We don't use "Chum" in the traditional sense, like you would for sharks etc. But with ten hook fresh hook baits in the area, they do create a scent trail which the fish will hone in on. That's why I always emphasise the importance of changing your bait regularly.
That was a brilliant tutorial. I've been out with you a few times wrecking but never uptiding as my knowledge of uptiding is negligible. After watching your tutorial I'd be more confident giving it a go now. By the way how many feet long is the rod? Once again, cheers for a great video. Steve Hutchinson
Hi Steve. Thanks very much for the great feedback. Really appreciated. The rod is 8ft 4” and I must say, is the best rod I’ve ever owned for Uptiding. Hopefully get you out for a trip sometime. Cheers, Andy 👍
I thought it was you I’m sure you’ll be the perfect skipper I’m from Gateshead and fished coast from there down to Whitby many yrs ago Now live in kent Well good luck with charter ok 👍👍👌👌

Would you recommend using chum every time you’re fishing new areas.
