    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Another window in the weather for us yesterday here at Whitby. Took the lads out to the "Wall" for what turned out to be a cracking days angling.

    The drift on the ground was virtually zero, which is no good normally. But due to the sheer volume of cod out there at the moment it didn't make much difference at all. Shads seemed to be making most impression at first but the bait rigs took over the catch rate when the tide changed. Baited Hokkais doing the best.

    We were hampered by a seal for a while but once it had pinched a big cod from one of the lads it disappeared (thank god!) Usually when they turn up the fishing goes off but it didn't yesterday.

    Derek Wiggins from Leeds fished the front of the boat as usual and ended up with a lovely box of cod with 4 ling thrown in. 18 fish in total. His best around the 8lb mark.

    A good number of cod around the 8 to 10lb mark on board.

    The best fish of the day fell to Craig Gillings from Bradford. A belting cod of 21lb 9oz caught on a blue / white shad.

    Craig is pictured.

    Rich.
