    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We had a run out yesterday with just a small team on board.
    Regular angler Si England joined us, along with Waldek and his mates Lucasz and Bruce.

    The tides are heading toward the Springs again so we were back on the Uptiding marks and after a short 15 minute steam we were anchored and ready to go.

    Not a quick start, but as the tide speed increased so did the fishing. We were into the Codling and the first stop provided a steadyish picking for the first couple of hours resulting in around 30 fish being boated.

    Nothing of any size, with a good number of undersized returned safely and the keepers only running to just over 4 pounds tops.

    As slack water came on we decided a short move was in order so we moved up the coast a couple of miles. One Codling in 30 minutes! Not the best move ever!

    Using the flood, we dropped back to the first mark and the lads started picking away again.

    The count for keepers for the day was around 35 total with as many “chuck backs”

    Not many bigger fish running at present but still some good fun fishing with the lighter gear.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich
