    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Last Saturday saw the fleet at Whitby tied up yet again for bad weather, however we did manage to sail on a flat calmer on the Sunday.

    Ian Nolleth from Glossopdale SAC and his team joined the boat on their annual trip to the North East on Sunday.

    We started out working the ground on the 9 mile and picked steadily for the first 2 or 3 hours. The water appearing to be completely rid of the algea at last. How wrong could I be!! At 12.30 p.m the water started to green up yet again and completely put the mockers on the job. Sadly we could only manage another half dozen fish after lunch but the lads were happy enough with their mornings efforts. After a count up of 38 cod, 2 ling and a handful of pouting we decided to make for home at 3.30. Ben winning the personal count with 8 cod, 3 whiting and a couple of pouting. A very enjoyable day. Cheers lads.

    Darryl winning the sweep on the boat with a cod of 7lb 4oz.

    Darryl is pictured.

  • 19/05/2013 Fishing Report by Peter Everett on Amino (Shotley, Suffolk)

    19 May 2013 by Peter Everett

    Report on-board Amino

    After a successful first ever trip on Amino two weeks ago, Arthur and crew came out for their 2nd trip and got amongst some decent fish again and a fair number of species as per yesterdays trip.

    Thornback were the main species with fish to over 10lb again, plenty of LSD's (too many today!!!!!!!!!!!!), we also had 4 more Spurdogs although they were only small fish, several Smoothounds and a small Bass. We lost a decent hound at the boat (estimated 15lb+) after it had rolled on the line as well as a couple of skate that tested the kit to the max in the stronger part of the tide but with the sun blistering down and a flat calm sea, it didn't dampen the spirits too much....

    I am nearly booked up for weekend trips til the end of June with the odd Sat / Sun still left so if you fancy a trip, give me a call.

    18 May 2013 by Peter Everett

    Report on-board Amino

    After having postponed Damien Baldwins group for several months now due to bad weather, we managed to get out..much to their relief..and I think the wait was worthwhile ;-)

    Several LSD's graced the boat before the first Thornback arrived, then on his first ever fishing trip, newbie Paul Lowe landed his and Amino's first ever double figure Spurdog at 14lb 8oz. After weighing and photos the fish was returned...cracking start....

    Then the Newbie struck again, this time with a 12lb Thornback..much to the disgust of the rest of the crew..and so began the banter...

    Then Damien who has been wanting to catch a Smoothound for years(and hasnt stopped banging on about it) had one on and went to lift it from the water...you guessed it...plop..off the hooks at the boat...more banter ensued...

    Matt Crowe had a couple of Smoothound to add to Damiens woes, best going tad under 8lb...

    Next up was Colin Allaton, never had a Thornback before and pulled one in at a tad under 8lb...

    Newbie struck again with a couple more Thornback before Damien hooked up with something that started taking line...after playing for about 5 minutes, a big silver fish came from the depths, (Damien got all excited thinking double figure Smoothie) and up popped this cracking Spur of 15lb 8oz(pictured)...I had to triple weigh her cos she looked and felt much bigger than the earlier fish....again she was returned after photos and swam off strongly..

    A few more Thornbacks were had and some more smaller Spurs and Smoothounds, a small Bass also for Colin as well as more LSD's and then...... Matts peeler bait was picked up by something that never allowed him to catch up the slack on the uptider, bent the rod double, peeled 40lb braid off the clutch before breaking on the swivel....we will never know, but it would have been something special....

    Total for the day was 9 Thornback, 6 Spurdog, 1 Bass, 4 Hounds and loads of LSD's. Cracking day, cracking banter, cracking fish :-))
