    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A proper damp and squibby day today for our two Chinese contingents from Leeds and Scunthorpe yesterday.

    Fortunately there was no wind to speak of which was a blessing on these mid range tides.

    We started the day looking for the Mackerel, to no avail. Birds feeding all over the place on the way out but nothing under the feed at all.

    We decided to try a couple of bits of scrap during the first slack water period between 8.30am and 9.30am and took a dozen or so Codling and Ling from those.
    As the ebb tide pushed through and strengthened and the drift speed increased quickly, we chose to run to a strip of ground 7 miles off.

    Immediately, the lads were pulling strings of Mackerel up on everything that went in the water!!
    Plenty of Haddock there too.

    I personally worked a 4” pink shad for 3 drifts and took a dozen keepers! These will be very welcome on the table over the next few days. Love Haddock!!

    As the tide eased back again for the second slack water of the day, we moved in to another piece of wreckage where the lads took another 8 Cod from it.

    Tally for the day, a very reasonably 100 fish to keep. 30 or 40 of those being (“keeper” Haddock!)

    Tony from Leeds taking the best of the day on his last drop. A lovely Cod of 9lb 15oz.
    This has now gone into the lead for June’s heaviest fish of the month on the Shy-Torque III where the winner gets a free trip for their efforts.

    Cheers for now chaps,
    Rich
