    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    18.06.2013
    Rich Ward.

    Today we had Nigel Hall return to Whitby again after his trip on Saturday. This time he was hunting the sharks.

    Nigel was with David Laine, Guy Wrightson and invited guest Derek Wiggins from Leeds.

    The chum was running across the ground 27 miles from shore at 08.30.a.m. A nice early start today!!

    Slack water passed by 9.0.a.m and at 10.15.a.m we had our first take of the day. Sadly just like yesterday
    ( 17th ) they seemed to by playing with the baits and not hitting hard like we want and the fish slipped the hook. Guy Wrightson was taking a pee up forward at around 1.0.p.m and the rod next to him suddenly bounced across the hand rails. Another swift snap at the baits but no proper take. Again this was proving to be a frustrating day!!

    At 3.0.p.m the closest bait to the boat aft went down, float popped and another fish was on. A mad fish thrashed around on the surface for a few seconds with the bait and within 15 minutes it was boated by Derek Wiggind from Leeds.

    This was Dereks first day shark fishing and he was very pleased with his first ever Porbeagle of 60lbs.
    Again, small in comprison to last weeks fish, but hey, a sharks a shark!!!!!!! 5 Porbeagle in 3 trips to press!

    Derek is pictured.

    Tight lines
    Rich.
