    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday’s trip had been advertised as a “Wall trip”as the tides were still running in the Spring range at 5.5m.
    We really need a full boat of 8 anglers to cover the fuel costs with runs of those distances.
    We only managed to sail with just the 6 lads as 2 others had dropped out.
    The remaining lads agreed to chip in a little extra so we could still do the run.

    The fish were a little elusive to start off, but we soon found where they were hiding and the lads were clicking them every drift after 20 minutes or so.

    As the ebb started to run, the devils SE wind started too which made the fishing a little more challenging.
    The drift kept creeping up and by high water we were running at 2 knots.
    A bit quick really but we were still knocking the odd fish out so we stuck it out till the end.

    A surprise visit by a Porbeagle too yesterday which was a bit of a nuisance for half an hour as it kept pinching the fish on the way up!!

    A nice show of some 50-60 fish between the 6 lads at the end of the day, with a good number of juvenile throw backs too.

    Young Fergus and myself landing around 20 between us which was great because my Dad had said he’d like a few fillets.

    Fergus began the filleting as soon as we got underway for home and had the lot done and the boat washed down before we landed. Good lad!

    The shads worked great yesterday for us and the baited rigs also caught.
    Squid and frozen Mackerel doing the business.

    No big fish to shout about again but a great days sport.
    Thanks to Craig, Tim, Pete, Mark, Johnny and Steve for sailing with us and we’ll see you all again soon.
    Cheers
    Rich.
