    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A complete reversal on the forecasts yesterday for us. Lovely calm weather to start the day with an increasing WNW predicted for the afternoon.
    We left the harbour at 7.15 am and with conditions being perfect we opted for a run offshore to a couple of marks on the 20 + mile.
    I knew that these marks hadn't been touched for a good few weeks so hopefully we were in with a chance of a few. The lads armed themselves with bait traces and immediately were were among the fish from the off. Great for everyone as every fish that came up on the 1st drift were Cod too! This continued for a good 3 hours and with a few doubles and even trebles coming up the fish boxes were soon starting to look very healthy indeed. We never moved from the 1st mark either which was a proper bonus! Numbers at the end would be well over 100 cod and 15 - 20 Ling too. No monsters taken, but our lady angler Janine Potts from Leeds had the heaviest of the day, a nice Ling of 9 lb 2 oz. No Cod above 7 lb on the trip but most around the 5-6 lb mark.
    Unfortunately the breeze did arrive just after slack water and we decided that we all had enough fish and we made for port where I would fillet everything down for the lads (and lass!)
    The offshore Cod fishing can very often be great at this time of year and through the winter months too.
    The group are pictured with a few of their catch.
    Tight lines as ever....
