    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    COD GALORE!!!!!!

    Yesterdays team was made up with a mixed group of lads from Middlesborough, Blackburn, East Cowton and Bedale in North Yorkshire.

    We started the day gathering the bait on the Whitby rock where the lads were straight in to strings of good size mackerel. After just a couple of minutes we had enough on the boat for the day.

    We then started work for the white fish on the ground on the 5 mile which was steady to say the least with just a half dozen taken although they were a reasonable stamp of cod and ling. Cod to around the 4 to 6 lb mark and a ling of 9 lb.

    This wasn't quick enough so we moved a little further to the 8 mile ground where the lads started picking away straight from the off. For the rest of the day we hardly moved at all as the cod was coming to the boat in really good numbers. At one point just after slack water it really was like winding the clock back 25 years!!

    At the end of the day the 7 of them had a good 30 stone of fish between them. The better fish were taken on the fresh mackerel and squid bait but the majority of the catch were taken on the shads.

    A bonus for Jim Arthur from Blackburn was a belting lobster of 5 lb 8 oz!!! Jim was snagged in the bottom and when his line came free he hauled him up on the old braid which it was tangled up in. Get your lottery ticket bought mate!!!

    The lads are pictured with a few of their fish.

    Tight lines as ever,
    Rich
