    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Another Summer festival done and dusted for another year and what a scoop the lads had aboard the Shy-Torque this year!!

    The first good fish aboard the boat and one which led the way in the comp for the first week or so was a beautiful cod of 20lb 3oz caught by regular angler on the boat, David Laine from Richmond.

    Paul Siddle from Patrington nr Hull was the captor of the next good cod on the boat. His hitting the scales at 19lb 1oz. A personal best for Paul !! Well done mate.

    Of course, John Wilcock, regular on the boat and (winner of more big money comps here at Whitby than anyone else), had to make his mark on the leader board. John was fishing over a period of 9 days with some close mates of mine, when, on his last day, hooked a cracking ling at 20lb 5oz. . When we boated the fish we were sure it was going to take the lead in the comp. Sadly upon weigh-in at tea time it was a mere 1lb off the leading fish. It did look a damn sight bigger than the leading fish though and had it been full of food instead of air, would surely have taken the top prize!!

    A cracking competition again this year with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th overall top prizes falling to these 3 lads on the Shy-Torque.

    John Wilcock's ling taking 2nd place overall winning £1000.00
    David Laine'scod taking 3rd place overall winning £500.00 plus another £500.00 for heaviest cod caught in the comp.
    Paul Siddle's cod taking 4th place overall winning £250.00

    The boat took a good number of daily prizes too on top of these bigger fish.

    The big cod and ling are here for you on the Shy-Torque!!

    I would like to say a massive thankyou again to all who sailed with us in this years event and hope to see you all again in the not too distant future.
