    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    It’s been a while since we’ve compiled a report. Primarily because of the big Spring tides recently which thankfully have left us for a while.

    Today we had a mixed group on board with some new faces which was good to see.
    The Mackerel fishing is well and truly alive now, and with some “clonking” fish around we really don’t need that many in numbers to have enough for the bait stocks for the day.
    One drift of just a couple of minutes and we had enough!

    First stop offshore this morning was a wreck around an hours steam from the harbour.
    The lads picked just half a dozen from that one.
    A short 5 minute hop to the next one where they picked up just 2 fish.

    We moved into the West a few miles then and tried a few wrecks in close proximity to each other. A poor result from those with just 4 fish off 3 wrecks.

    I decided to move to some ground /reefs next and we found a little “nest” of fish where the lads picked around 8 fish up (6 of them being Ling) with one slightly better fish of just under 10lbs.

    The last drop of the day was on a tiny piece of wreckage that seldom gets touched, and we rounded the day off with half a dozen from that one.

    A request was made to have a stop back at the bouy on the way back to port to try for some fresh Mackerel to take home and, after just a couple of short drifts, the boys were well and truly stocked up with them.

    A cracking calm and warm day on the water, which resulted in around 35 keepers for the lads which isn’t great I know, but combined with lovely Summer weather, made for a lovely day.

    Cheers
    Rich.
