    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Such a great feeling getting back to sea yesterday after a week off for rubbish weather.

    Cliff Atkinson and his four mates from Cumbria had the boat booked for the day.
    Just love those light crews. Oodles of space!

    We stopped off for some Mackerel first where the lads picked around two dozen fish which was plenty for the five of them for the day, along with the squid bait they’d brought.

    We then marched out to a nice big wreck North of the harbour to start the work.

    After a weeks rest out there I was really hoping for some good results but we only took around a dozen fish there, Shaun taking four of them himself. He was off to a reasonable start.
    Cliff took a nice Codling, a shade over 9lbs.
    The fish only had half a tail and we wondered if it had escaped the clutches of a seal maybe sometime.

    The next wreck we dropped on was in to the West a few miles.
    This one produced a similar result for the five.
    Shaun managed to a Ling just over 7lbs from this one along with another couple of fish.
    Everything so far on the baited rigs.

    We then dropped back South a couple of miles and tried a small wreck which lays in some ground.
    Again, just a handful of fish from it and again, Shaun taking the most! He really was on it today!

    The last drop we had was just three miles East of the harbour where, yet again, Shaun took the only fish from it! A couple of Pollack. Someone was certainly looking down on him yesterday!

    Total tally for the day was around thirty five fish, with the usual returns, of which I reckon good old Shaun would have had fifteen of them. A lovely day for him on the fish.

    No big fish to contend with the leader in this year’s Summer competition but a cracking day afloat with great banter and some fabulous sunshine for a change!

    Great to see you lads,
    Until the next one.
