    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    After the last week of strong Northerly winds here at Whitby we were fully expecting that the uptiding (inshore anchor fishing) would be very good indeed and we weren't wrong!!

    We had bookings for the boat over the weekend and Monday, but sadly we missed the days due to a strong wind warning from the NW which never came (so annoying!!!) We did however manage to get the lads away on Tuesday and what a day they had.
    Steady fishing right from the off in "Sandsend" corner working in the shallows (60ft of water) Great sport all day for the lads with the majority of the fish coming up on the squid and lug worm. The crab cart attracted a few fish but not as many as the other baits. Every day is different inshore just as it is when working offshore which is why it's always good to have a varied selection of baits.
    Great banter, Hot tea & coffee flowing all day with lovely weather too. Perfect.

    Ben Kitchingman landed the best fish of the day. A lovely cod of 8 lbs. When he was told it would have won the recent competition here at Whitby and £1000.00 he nearly fell over!! His Dad Dave landing the most fish with around 30 fish himself!

    We have a few dates still free on the lead up to Xmas when the boat is empty and if you fancy an inshore trip I will sail with just 2. Booking calendar fully updated at all times.

    We also have a few dates with lads already booked on.
    They are :-
    Mon 18th Dec (Room for 7) Offshore trip.
    Wed 20th Dec (Room for 6) Offshore trip.
    Thur 21st Dec (Room for 2) Offshore trip.
    Individuals very welcome as always.

    Tuesdays lads are pictured with some of their catch.

    Tight lines
