    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We took to sea yesterday for the first time in this years WCSA Spring competition.

    A great forecast prediction with winds of 3-5 knots making it (hopefully) perfect for an offshore wrecking trip.

    First stop with our regular mixed group of lads was just over 12 miles from harbour.
    The lads were all armed with a good selection of bait, hoping to click that £1000.00 festival winner.

    The first drift produced a few small Codling and likewise on the next couple of passes.

    A move to the next piece of scrap after most rods were stuck in the wreck on the fourth drift was then in order.

    We arrived at our second point on slack water, meaning that we could work it down to the last metre.
    The lads picked away on this one until nearly home time and managed around 40 Codling from it which to be fair, after our last offshore run, wasn’t a bad result at all.

    The big fish weren’t playing out and our best fish of the day was a Codling of just 4lb 5oz!
    Having said that, that fish was big enough for Jonathan Stirrup from Preston to take the heaviest of the day and win him the daily prize of £50.00.
    Well done to him.

    Tally for the day would be 40+ to keep with a good number returned to fight another day.
    Baited rigs taking the fish, but also the water clear enough on the more distant wreck for the shads to work too!

    Young Fergus getting some filleting work on the way back and in port.

    A great day out on the water with great company too.
    Cheers lads, great to sail with you all.

    Our next trip out is next Saturday where we have room for a couple more anglers.

    Cheers Rich.
