    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    26.09.2017.

    How fortunes change from day to day!!

    George Ho and his mates Simon Wong, Phil and Dennis chartered the boat today.

    With us just having the 4 on board we decided that a run to a couple of wrecks offshore that hadn't been touched for some time was in order. The forecast was perfect for a run off, so after we gathered some huge Mackerel on the 9 mile we set off.
    The first wreck only produced around 10 or a dozen fish with no real size about them. The 2nd wreck however produced a good selection of Cod,Ling, Coaley & Pollack.
    On the 3rd drift across, Dennis hooked in to what looked to be a decent fish. I was winding a reasonable fish up at the same time which was a Cod around 8 lb. I went aft to stand next to Dennis to see what all the commotion was about. A rather large green "loom" started to show about 40 ft below us and as it approached the boat we all realised it was a good sized fish.
    On a 5/0 hook with a small piece of Mackerel as bait, Dennis had boated his personal best Ling. A belter at 28lb 10 oz. The fish had blown on the way up so I guess it could have nudged, or even gone a shade over the 30 lb mark before losing it's stomach contents.
    The lads ended up with around 40 odd fish between them for the day plus around 100 Mackerel we gathered at the end of the day. A great day for one and all.
    Dennis is pictured with his PB. Well done mate!!
