    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Shy-Torque III. 4th, 5th + 6th January.

    Mixed fortunes for the lads over the last 3 days aboard the boat.

    On Friday (4th) we sailed to the 9 mile ground hoping that the water had cleared out. Sadly it hadn't so we steamed to a few wrecks on the 20 mile. They didn't produce too well either if I'm honest. The lads amassing around 40 fish between them. Most of the fish falling to squid bait.

    A group of 4 lads from "Attic" nr Hornsea had the boat booked on Saturday (5th) and they didn't fair too well either! They managed a couple of dozen fish between them. Mucky water at present.
    From what I was hearing on the radio everyone was struggling wherever they were, inshore and offshore, so I decided it was a good time to get the boat booked in for her annual lift out of the water.

    Travelling to distant grounds, yesterdays group faired a lot better. Not so much quality wise but certainly quantity wise. Cod were boated to around the 7lb mark and Ling to just under 12lb. Nearly all fish taken on the bait yet again. All the lads walked away with a very respectful bag of fish for the table.

    The boat is now high and dry on the dock and will be for the next week or so. Annual check over, antifouling and polish. Hopefully the water will have cleared a bit for our return.

    Nigel Hall is pictured with a nice brace of cod caught on a double hook squid bait trace.

    Rich.
