    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    It’s always nice to get to sea and not have to race around everywhere looking for the “Big one” in the competitions.

    Yesterday’s trip was very relaxing for us and we had a great day playing around on the relatively inshore marks.

    A drop on a small piece of wreckage just 5 miles off to start the day where the lads took a couple of Codling and a couple of Haddock.
    Then a drop on the nearby ground which proved rubbish!

    We moved another couple of miles further off to a wreck at the North end of the 7 mile where the lads took another half a dozen Codling.
    They weren’t suicidal but they were biting which was good.
    Mostly coming up on the baited rigs.

    As that wreck dried up we moved again.
    This time we ran back out to the area where we’d found a good picking the day before but before that we dropped on another small wreck.
    Good move Wardy! ��

    It kept us going for a good 2-3 hours and the lads plucked around 40 fish from it.
    Nothing big but some nice steady action.

    When we had milked that one we finished off on the previous days ground and the fish were committing themselves fully.
    On one drift we took over 15 fish, but unfortunately we had landed in the kindergarden and only kept 2 or 3!!
    That continued for the rest of the day.

    Up and down the drift another half a dozen drifts and the day was done and with the devils SE breeze picking up it was time to head off home.

    Unlike the day previous where I had been knocking the fish out on the shads and sidewinders, I couldn’t click a fish and the majority came up on the squid baited rigs.

    Andy Chesham who hadn’t been to sea since he was a young lad out fishing everyone!
    Fergus explained that you must pay out your line to maintain contact with the bottom and don’t “jig” baited rigs!
    He ended up with 15 or so himself.

    A better tally on the count with a good 80+ fish to keep.

    A cracking day at sea again with good company. Young Fergus offering his services and filleting away all the way back to harbour.

    We have a few spaces left this Thursday if anyone fancies joining us.

    Cheers
    Rich.
