    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The September angling competition came to an end yesterday (should have been today but strong winds stopping us)

    The last two or three trips haven’t given us much to report about really with just a picking here and there.

    Best day for us was Friday gone, where we picked around 25 fish (all Ling) from a wreck 18 miles East of the harbour.
    No big fish landed but with Ling to just under 12lbs on the boat, the lads enjoyed a reasonable few hours angling in nice settled waters.

    Yesterday we steamed South East to some wrecks around 16-17 miles for a bare picking of fish.
    Our most regular angler Paul Mawson landed a lovely Cod which topped out at 13lb exactly. Well done to him.
    His fish now taking the lead in the Shy-Torque III fish of the month where the winner gets a free trip with us (valid for 12 months)
    We end the fish of the month competition in October but will start again in April next year.

    Last months F.O.M (winners) were Paul Mawson and Bill Barraclough who both landed Ling a smidge under 14lbs. Identical in weight to the ounce, on the same day! We don’t see that very often and we all said we’d probably never see it again. How wrong we were!

    The September competition winners are sharing the £1000.00 first prize too!
    Both anglers landing Ling of 19lb 1/2oz.
    Well done to both of them!

    Thanks to everyone who made the competition a success even though we did lose several days to bad weather.
    I’m sure everyone enjoyed it.

    Also, thanks to Alex at “Mr Chips” fish and chip shop and the Middle Earth Tavern on Church Street for their continued support in sponsoring the events.
    Without support like theirs we wouldn’t be able to host these cracking competitions.

    On another note, our association is holding an Uptiding competition this year which runs from Saturday 25th November - Sunday 3rd December.

    We are giving away a £1000.00 heaviest overall fish plus daily prizes for the heaviest fish of the day.

    If you fancy a go at that, give me a ring to sort a day for you.
    Individuals are very welcome and we will sail with just 3 anglers on any day.
    A nice little prize to have a go at just before Xmas!!

    Cheers for now guys and keep the lines tight!
