    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    It was my full intention to run to a few wrecks inshore to the South yesterday with our mixed team of regular anglers. It didn’t happen!

    We kicked the day off looking for a few fresh Mackerel around the 2-3 mile stretch to no avail, so decided to have a go at a bit of scrap just 2 miles from the bouy.
    4 Codling the first drift, then 3, then 2 and yes, 1 more!
    10 fish to start the day was ok I guess, especially as we were only a stones throw from the harbour!

    Next stop was another bit of wreckage a couple of miles East of there.
    A poor show from that one with just a couple of fish. I think it had been fished the day before.

    I asked Fergus my crewman to toss the coin as to which way next. That way we could all blame him if it went wrong!
    He suggested somewhere I hadn’t thought of and off we went.
    Good shout young Ferg!

    A couple of wrecks located very close to each other just a few miles further on made for some steady sport for the team for the rest of the day, with Ling to 11lb 7oz caught by our most regular angler on the boat, Paul from Brid and Codling to around the 7lb mark by Dave Shay.

    Glenn Stocks and his son-in-law Nick enjoying some decent sport between them. Glen having a nice “double up” of Codling on one of the wrecks too.

    A long time angler of ours, Chris Wake from Kilnsey Cragg in the Yorkshire Dales and his mate Dave, also doing well with a slack box of fish between them.

    Nearly every fish today was tempted by the rigs baited with squid and frozen Mackerel. Very little on the artificial stuff.

    Aside the Bangladeshi style cloudbursts throughout the day, it was a great trip with great banter as always!

    Cheers lads and see you all soon.
    Rich.
