    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Stuart Faye, his son James and 5 of their friends from Liverpool chartered the Shy-Torque III yesterday for the day.
    3 out of the 7 were experienced course anglers and the other 4 were absolute beginners.
    Our Charlie couldn’t make the trip to crew, so a mate of mine Mathew Spinks who had been fishing with me for the last fortnight, joined us to help out and helped me to explain all the “ins and outs” before we started.
    We started at the Bouy to try for some Mackerel to start off and they were in abundance. Literally 2 minutes there and we had enough bait for the day!!
    We chose to work the rough ground/reefs after that, hoping that we could get a picking going there without having to try any wrecks.
    A dozen Codling on the first short drift and 3 Ling was good enough for a start and the lads were buzzing!!
    A couple of double-ups on the drift too.
    We stayed on the first mark until around 11.30am and gathered a lovely show of Codling and Ling. Nothing big at all but plenty of fish to the 5lb mark.
    A short move to another bit of ground after we’d exhausted the first stop, where the lads finished the day with another 10 or so fish.
    The breeze then picked up from the NW and was very fresh at times (not forecast!) so the lads decided that a slightly earlier finish was ok and we headed back for port.
    I told the lads that I would gladly fillet all their fish when we got back and suggested they nipped for a pint or 2 whilst I processed their fish which they did.
    All in all, a fabulous day had by all.
    Cheers lads and we’ll see you again next year.
    Enjoy the skiing Stuart!!!
    All the best,
    Rich
