    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    After gathering the Mackerel yesterday morning (which were a little scarce at first) we decided to have a change in direction and used the Ebb tide and headed out North.

    First wreck was just over an hour away and after being left alone (to my knowledge) for a week or so I thought we would have done better than just 4 Codling boated.

    We skipped out Eastbound then to a bigger wreck.

    The conditions were absolutely perfect for it, and with a nice neap tide falling away to slack water for 11.0am, I was confident we would see a few fish there.
    Again, I reckoned this wreck too had been left alone for a good while.

    My confidence was soon shattered and after a half dozen drifts across it we had only taken half a dozen fish!

    I’d been chatting to a fellow skipper on the VHF who was working a few miles North of us and he said he thought he water looked very green and cloudy.
    It was the same where we were, so move number three was in order directly!

    We slithered back into some ground for a change of scenery and the marks on the sounder were very encouraging indeed.
    Plenty of feed marking and even a couple of Whales in the area too.

    The lads dropped in, and the first drift over a 2m ledge produced a couple of fish straight away.
    A nice Codling and a Ling of around 7lb too.
    The Codling clean and fair on a Shad too.

    We picked away on the ground marks for the rest of the day and the lads gathered around 30 fish there, which kind of saved the day for us.

    Nice to see more fish falling to the Shads again too. Some clearer water there for sure.

    A really great day out with great customers.

    Cheers
    Rich.
