    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday’s team from Cumbria, organised by Cliff Atkinson, enjoyed a good day on the water with us. The fishing was good until the Westerly breeze freshened after the change of tide at lunchtime.

    We struggled to find the Mackerel on the inshore marks but were soon hammering them out on the 3 mile stretch. I think the last set of “booling” tides has spooked them hard ashore. Enough in one drift to keep us in bait for the day.

    The drift was just over a knot to start the day so we had a few runs across a strip of ground to start off.
    Very few fish there with just a half dozen to keep.

    As the tide eased off at 9.30am we dropped the lads on the first wreck of the day where they picked off 15 or so fish. Everything coming up on the baited rigs.

    The second wreck we touched produced a few more, around 30 fish.
    Some doubles coming off that one too.
    Freddie the landlord taking a nice double from it, a Cod of 7lb 5oz and a Ling of 5lbs. A nice drop!
    Freddie also taking the best fish of the day (which won the sweep) a lovely Cod at 9lb 8oz. Well done to him.

    With the breeze being against the ebb in the afternoon, things were awkward for the team and they only managed another half dozen fish or so.
    We called it at 3.30 and returned to the harbour.

    99% of the days fish coming up on the baited rigs.

    A great day with the lads as ever.
    Cheers
    Rich
