    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    A fantastic sunrise welcomed us back to sea yesterday morning with our group of 6 lads, after yet another long spell away from the water.

    We were meant to start our Shy-Torque III Xmas Uptiding Competition last Sunday but sadly the weather has been against us until yesterday.

    We sailed just after 7.30am and headed out to our usual inshore marks, where on the last few trips, fished well.
    Yesterday morning was totally different!

    We persevered for a couple of hours on the first mark until the tide started slowing up, for a paltry 10 fish or so.

    A move of just a couple of miles over slack water to a different sector and the signs were immediately better.
    4 or 5 Codlings boated as soon as we’d anchored which gave us hope for when the flood tide pushed through.

    As the flood pushed through, the Codling started biting a bit better for an hour or so until we were hampered by 4 seals. After they disappeared the fishing didn’t recover really, by which time it was about time to return home.

    Tally for the trip was around 30 fish to keep, with a number of smaller fish, Dogfish, Pouting, Codling, returned safely

    Because yesterday looked like the only day we are going to get in our little 8 day pre Xmas competition, I decided that it would be unfair to all our other anglers booked on, to count any possible contenders for the prize money we’re offering and instead have decided to try and run another contest in the New Year on some good inshore tides.
    Dates of that to be decided.

    Best Codling fell to young Fergus (crewman) and Neil Dowson, both lads from Egton just outside Whitby. Fish to just over 5lb.

    At this point I would like to wish everyone who have fished with us over the year, a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

    We look forward to seeing you all again next year.
    Tides and diary are ready for you to make any bookings in 2025.

    Cheers
    Rich
