Wreck and reef fishing aboard SeaSpray with skipper David Jenkins — a lifetime in the North Sea, a maximum of eight rods on deck, and the fish to show for it.
I’m David Jenkins, skipper and owner of SeaSpray. I’ve spent all of my life fishing these waters, and I run my boat full time out of Whitby to put you on the species you actually want to catch — safely, and with plenty of room on deck.
Everyone’s welcome aboard, from seasoned wreck anglers to families who’ve never wet a line.
Every trip departs Whitby harbour. Secure your place with a small deposit — the rest is payable on the day.
Rods, reels and tackle all provided. The perfect introduction to North Sea fishing.
Drift the wrecks and rough ground where the famous Whitby cod live. Gear hire available.
Take SeaSpray for your crew — stag do, club match or a family day. Any trip style.
Choose a date and departure on the live calendar — you can see exactly how many places are left on each sailing.
Your place is locked in the moment the deposit clears. Weather cancels? Move the date or take a full refund.
Arrive 15 minutes before departure. Balance on the day, bait pre-arranged if you want it. Then we go fishing.
Near-daily catch reports from SeaSpray’s Facebook page — cod, bass, hounds and the odd surprise.
“Cracking day on the wrecks — cod for the whole crew and David worked non-stop to keep us on the fish.”
“Took my lad on the half-day — gear all provided, endless patience from the skipper, and he caught his first ever fish.”
“Whole boat for the fishing club — brilliantly organised, fair price, fish from start to finish. Booked again for September.”
