    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    After a fantastic two weeks away on the I.O.M at the TT races with our Charlie and our mate Mick Jones, it’s back to work again.

    Some lovely calm conditions yesterday although rather wet at times, gave Daryl Machant and his mates a decent chance on the fish.
    Nice neap tides too for the lads, making for some easy fishing.

    We ran to a couple of wrecks North of the harbour to start the day, using the remaining ebb tide.

    First one produced just a handful of fish, but the second one kept us going for a couple of hours. The lads plucking an odd fish or two each drift.

    Cod, Ling, Pollock,Coaley and a few Haddock coming off that one. Bono taking a double hook-up of Haddock.

    Good to see fish coming up on the artificial lures again, as well as the bait obvs.

    After we had picked that wreck clean, we decided to trot back into another small wreck inside and took ten more keepers from that one.

    To finish the day off we dropped on a strip of ground and were very pleased to see a large amount of feed on the ledges.

    We dropped in full of excitement and expectation but sadly not many bigger fish feeding there yet. Just ten or so more fish off the ground over the last three drifts.
    I’m thinking it won’t be long before this area starts fishing really well.

    John (Sped) having the best catch on the boat with around a dozen fish with Codling to just over 5lb.
    The rest of the team taking half a dozen to ten fish each.
    Daryl taking the heaviest fish, a nice Ling just over 11lbs (although Fergus’s picture doesn’t do it justice ��)

    Young Fergus filleted the fish for the lads on the way home and reported in that we’d had around sixty fish to keep which wasn’t a bad days work at all for the six of them.

    Cheers lads, always a pleasure sailing with you guys.

    Looking forward to the next few days where we will be trying some more inshore wrecks. A mate of mine tells me the water is clearing nicely inshore too so fingers crossed.

    Cheers
    Rich
