    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday’s crew consisted of mainly regular Shy-Torque anglers who always take advantage of the easier neap tides.

    As always we started out on the hunt for the Mackerel which were in good supply at the bouy for the lads. One drift did the job.

    I decided to try a few marks further out for a change as I reckoned on nobody being out there for some time. Also a nice change of scenery!!

    We started on a small piece of scrap just over 8 miles from port and the lads picked around 20 fish from that. A nice start to the day.
    Once the wreck dried up on us we dropped on to one of my favourite little marks. A small ledge rising just a couple of metres which runs West to East around 50 yards.
    A great little mark as you can often pick away at it in different parts.

    The lads were really on the cod, bringing some nice fish up, when 4 huge seals decided to gate crash and spoilt the party instantly!

    Another move then.

    We steamed a bit further out to try and escape from the seals and tried what is normally a good wreck to us but today it proved fruitless with just a handful of fish coming aboard.

    We still had time to run to a couple more bits of ironwork so we ran back in towards a small wreck split into two pieces.
    It fished okay where the lads took another couple of dozen fish from it.
    Cod coming aboard to just a shade under 10lbs.

    My old mate Paul from Bridlington, who normally beats everyone, fished like a handcuffed crab today and lost many more than he landed!!
    Chris Siddle on the other hand had a lovely day with a dozen nice fish to take home.

    Another great day with the lads with Fergus getting the usual ear bashing from them!!
    At least he managed to get out of bed and made it on time!

    Cheers for now,

    Rich
