    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Arthur and Stan from the South East had their last day out of their four days with us yesterday.
    They were joined by Simon from Lancashire.

    I did give Simon the option of travelling across when we spoke the evening before with the forecasts not really being too favourable and he decided to give it a try.

    We were always going to get to sea with the morning’s breeze coming from the West, but weren’t sure how long we were going to get as the forecasts were giving the breeze to swing more NW.

    We decided to sail an hour early to try gain the best of the early calmer weather conditions and when we arrived at the first mark it was just breaking daylight.
    No matter, the anchor was dropped and we started.

    First fish on board was a Pouting, sharply followed by a lovely Cod of 7lb 12oz caught by Stan.
    The fish didn’t commit properly to the fresh baits on offer and were very finicky.
    Plenty of bites but not many solid takes with just half a dozen fish taken there.

    A short move further inshore to a mark in just five fathom of water proved a good one.
    A nice sprinkling of Codling coming onboard straight away with a couple of oddments boated too.

    Simon clicking a small Conger just under 5lbs (first one since the ones we had early this year and was returned safely) and Stan with a pesky Dogfish!
    Fergus dropped a nice big juicy bait in a landed himself a nice Cod just over 8lbs. Super sport in the shallow water!

    Before we knew it, it was time to up anchor and head back home.
    Three very happy chaps at the end of day taking some nice fish back for the plates.

    A couple of fish which may have been contenders for the upcoming Uptiding Competition today.
    Let’s hope the weather lets us try for a few more like these next week.

    Competition 25th November to 3rd December. £1000.00 for the heaviest fish landed over the 9 days. Just a few places left now.

    Cheers
    Rich
