    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The 2024 Summer angling competition effectively came to an early end on Saturday, as we decided as an association to cancel the last day for inclement morning weather.

    A NW breeze on the increasing tides would have made it nigh on impossible to fish.

    We had a mixed group on on the penultimate day and we didn’t fish very well at all to be fair.

    The Mackerel fishing to start the day off for the bait stocks was great but after that we literally picked a few fish up here and there.
    First stop was the 9 mile area where we had taken a couple of decent fish the day previous.
    We only managed a couple of fish there.

    We tossed the coin and voted to run out to a wreck which has historically thrown a few competition winners out over the years.
    We took just 8 fish from it and none of them were anywhere close to being contenders.

    The next wreck was just a half hours steam away and we hit it at a perfect slack water.
    Lines straight up and down for the first few drops and the lads picked a half dozen from it.
    As the tide bent through and the boat started to cross it on a more natural drift, we took another half dozen or so and that was it. Again, no contenders for the prize sections.
    After another 3 of 4 moves towards end the day off we only saw another couple of fish boated and we called it.

    Tally of just 30 fish for the day.

    Best fish for us on Saturday, a Ling for Henry of 9lb 10oz.

    A lovely day out on the water with great lads and we thank you all for joining us.

    I’d like to congratulate my lifelong friend and skipper Kev Marsden on winning this years Summer competition on his boat the Jean-K, with a cracking Ling of 15lbs 11.5oz.
    Well done mate!!

    Some Seriously big Spring tides now so a few days off for jobs and some motorcycling! ����️��️

    Cheers
