    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Our last trip out was the 3rd of this month so when the welcome window of great weather this weekend came along, it was great to be getting back out there!

    Ben Axworthy and his mate Steve joined us on Saturday along with regular angler John Wysoczanski and three new lads to the Shy-Torque, Clint,Terry and Pete from the London area.

    The tides were running around the 5.3m range so we played around on the inshore Uptiding marks.

    The fishing was far from easy to be fair with around 20 fish in total boated for the day.
    A number of those undersized fish were returned, so all in all a bit of a struggle.

    On Sunday our three new lads Clint, Steve and Terry had the boat booked out for themselves so plenty of room for them!

    We dropped back to the similar area we worked on Saturday trying several more different spots.

    Straight away the lads picked a few small Codling but it dried up quickly so I moved the boat a few hundred yards further North.
    Again a few more fish were boated straight off but again it went quiet.

    We moved a couple of miles further for the end of the ebb tide and didn’t find anything any better but surprisingly, over slack water, the fishing came on a bit better and the lads took around 10 fish there.

    I was fairly confident that the fish would come back on the feed on the change of tide but they didn’t and the three lads only took another three or four.

    Pete taking the best Codling at just over 4lbs.
    The usual baits of black lugworm and squid and on Sunday, Fergus brought some crab cart which to be fair, didn’t really make much difference (it normally does!)

    Fergus filleting around 25 fish for the lads on the way back to port, so a few nice fish dinners for the lads.

    Another cracking couple of days with great lads, plenty of tea and coffee and excellent banter!

    Next day out is on Wednesday this week so if you fancy a run out, drop me a message.

    Cheers for now,
    Rich
