    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Some great fishing this last few trips for all the teams who joined us on the Shy-Torque III.

    The weather has been unreal with glassy calm and clear waters making the fishing relatively easy for all concerned. Perfect drift fishing, plumb vertical lines and some cracking fish.

    The top angler this week was Paul Cookson from Bolton in Lancashire. He had some 20 fish himself yesterday with a mixture of cod and ling. His lad Lee boating the best fish on board with a ling just shy of a stone in weight (14lb)

    We have also done a couple of sharking trips this last week with shark on on both trips. Sadly all the shark we had on the line managed the escape. So very annoying, but at least we know that there are a good number out there for us this year to keep trying for. If you fancy a go for the big boys give me ring.

    Bob Ellis from Focus Training Ltd who sponsors some of the Charter Skippers competitions here at Whitby joined us on Monday this week for his first ever sharking mission. He had 2 shark on during the morning. One of them leading him a merry dance around the boat for over half an hour before spitting the hook. Bob said it was an unbelievable feeling but also extreemley tiring!!

    We always manage to do some bottom fishing whilst we are on the sharking trips and Bob's best fish was a lovely cod of 11 lbs He, his son Sam and friend Richard managed a good show of both cod and ling on the
    trip.

    Bob is pictured inset.

    If you fancy a go in this years Summer competition which starts soon on the 1st July, we do still have some
    places left.
    Give me a call on my direct number 07733 233352 or home 01947 603472 or mail me on richardward384@yahoo,co.uk. There are some great cash prizes again this year with the top prize being a massive £5000.00 in cash!!! Fishing is a lottery so come and have a go!!!

    Tight lines as ever,
    Rich
