    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Two day report on Shy-Torque III.

    Saturday 25th May.

    There is a fair amount of Algae Bloom in the water at present making for some quite difficult fishing for the lads n lasses.

    On occasion, we do find an odd clear patch and this is when we click a few fish.

    What’s been noticeable is that the clarity on the surface few fathoms isn’t too bad at all and we can see the fish some 20-30 ft down. We just need it like that on the bottom again now. Shouldn’t be too long.

    A mixed group of 8 anglers on the boat on Saturday gone.

    We started off by working the ground on the 5 mile for just a couple of fish and within a couple of hours and half a dozen stops later, found ourselves out on a small wreck just over 12 miles offshore. Just one fish from that.
    Fish count by this time was just 5 fish to keep. The usual throw backs too.

    We continued the hunt, working some more bits in to the West, where we did start picking a few more fish up, but nothing to make it a top drawer day.
    The banter helped make the day go by as usual, with some great conversations and stories about motorcycles, my other great passion!

    Thanks to the lads for having robust patience throughout the day and working tirelessly to try and tempt the fish to the hooks.

    Monday 27th May.

    Yesterday saw another mixed group join us on the boat.

    As the forecast was very good for the day, we chose to run a little further out to try and get some clearer water from the start.

    We steamed to a wreck 18 miles East of the town to start the day.

    First drift was good with around eight fish boated. Three of them (Coalies) falling to Joseph. He had dropped down with a five hook Mackerel trace a clicked a treble!!
    Great sport!!

    I also managed a nice Codling on a shad, fair and square in the mouth. Clearer water it seemed.

    We picked away at the wreck for a couple of hours, taking an odd fish or two each go.

    Allen Hallworth, Joseph and their two friends from Manchester filling a “Gorilla” tub to the top between them with Codling, Ling, Coaley and the odd Pouting.
    Reasonable fishing for them.

    After we had milked the wreck, we moved in towards land a few miles and tried another couple of wrecks, where the group took another dozen or so fish.

    The majority of fish were taken on the baited rigs with the usual squid and frozen Mackerel.
    We saw a Mackerel on each of the last few trips too!
    Nice to see those fellas in the water again and it won’t be too long until young Fergus is washing down a messy boat again!!

    Cheers for now and good fishing to you all wherever you wet your lines.

    Rich.
