    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A group of lads from Newcastle asked me some time ago if it would be possible to try and target the Halibut here off Whitby. This week we managed to get the group away to have a go. We sailed at 6 a.m as the grounds where we would hope to get these fish are some 30 miles from shore. On arrival the tide was ripping past too quick so we had to play the waiting game for an hour or so. An hour before slack water and we saw some action. One of the lads had a take which certainly appeared to be a large Halibut judging by the way his 50lb class rod was bending. Sadly after 5 minutes or so the fish was lost. Some 15 minutes after this I hooked into one myself and after a 35 minute battle with 3 very powerful dives back to the bottom I boated a 47lb fish. I was using a Shimano Speed Master 30lb class rod with a TLD15 multiplyer which made this a very exciting ordeal indeed!! All the lads were very pleased to see one of these fish boated and have already booked 3 Halibut trips for next year! If you fancy a try for one yourselves please drop me a line.
