    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    11.02.2019.

    Yesterdays lads were made up with their day at sea on the Shy-Torque III after an uncertain forecast the evening before.

    4 of the group were staying in town the night before. The forecast was such that I said to them that because they were already here I would walk to the pier ends early morning and check the sea state to make sure we were good to go. The reason for this was because of an increasing swell from the North predicted with a decreasing wind for the day. Sometimes a difficult one to call. I told the other team who were booked with us the score and they decided to make the trip across from West Yorkshire on the morning. As daylight broke it was clear that the sea state was fine and we could make to sea for the day. (They had apparently overheard somewhere on the morning that there wouldn't be anyone sailing, but clearly whoever it was hadn't spent 40 minutes beforehand closely watching the sea!!)

    We threw the ropes at 7.45 am and took the 8.0 am bridge at high water and made for a couple offshore wrecks.

    The artificials never took a life all day but the bait fished well with the squid and frozen mackerel taking most of the fish on board. No monsters showing yet for us this year but with a lovely selection of cod from 4 lbs to just shy of 7 lbs for these lads, a really great day at sea for all on board.
