    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Last Sunday saw our first inshore ( anchored ) trip of the season. Plenty of codlings running at the moment after a number of fresh North / North East winds. Pictured here are 4 of the lads aboard last Sunday with just a few of their catch. Pictured left to right are Tim Reynolds, Martin Catley, Alistair Watson and my crewman John Wilcock. These are the best of the cod caught with fish to 9.5lbs.

    The inshore ( anchor ) fishing is often termed as " uptiding " To catch fish at anchor it is not always necessary to launch your bait uptide like a lot of people think. All the cod in this photo were in fact taken downtide of the boat ( NO CASTING ! ) Simply lowering your bait down away from the boat can work as well, as these lads proved. I believe that the term "Uptiding" puts a lot of anglers off because they think that there is a certain specialist skill required for it. NOT SO! Anyone can do it ! A lighter rod can better for the job but we have lads who fish with us with 20 -30lb class gear and catch perfectly fine with it!

    The Whitby Charter Skippers are holding their winter inshore competition from the 4th December - 12th Dec inc. With a 1st prize of £1000.00 and various daily cash prizes too it's well worth a go !! Nice to grab a grand for Xmas!!!!

    To make a booking for the comp please contact me on 07733 233352 or 01947 601233 or mail me at richardward384@yahoo.co.uk

    Happy fishing !!!
