Report on-board Lady Grace
We set off at seven sharp, hit a couple of wrecks and fishing was quiet at first and then we manged to find a few on another wreck. There was some nice fish around the 8lb mark and a nice ling at around the 7lb mark. From then on the fishing just got better. We headed out a bit to have look on some ground and ended the day with 48 cod from 2lb upto 9lb mark and a ling 7lb and also some nice 2lb coalies which was nice to see and plenty of other undersize cod and ling returned safely.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
We did our first sharking trip of the year this week, Weds/Thurs. We sailed full of trepidation after last year's results, and with no Mackerel showing much, I guessed it was going to be a struggle. The lads, however, had brought 20 stone of frozen Mackerel which they had gathered on their last trip last year.
We arrived at the grounds at 10.45am and had our first chum over the side at 11.15am. We managed around 40 fresh Mackerel, which was a bonus, so we could get 4 live baits out on the rods. At 12.15pm we had our first run, and after an hour and ten minutes we had our first shark of 2013 on board!! We re-chummed and at 4.30pm we had a second run, and after another hour and fifteen minute battle we had our second shark on board!! What a result!!!
At 6.30pm we had another run which sadly we lost, and at 8.30pm we had yet another run. Again, we lost it after an hour's battle. Both these fish escaped the hook.
The next morning (after a broken night's sleep!), we re-chummed for the flood tide. At 11.30am we had another run. At first I thought it was a seal that had taken the bait, as there had been a couple playing around closeby ten minutes previously. How wrong I was!! With the rod bent double and line screaming off, it became evident that this was no seal. Whatever it was had reached the bottom (45 fathoms) in 20 seconds!
Another fish on.
Two hours later and still no sight of the fish. Another 40 minutes and we had our first sighting. The fish then proceeded to do lap after lap around the boat, dragging the angler (Sam) around with him. After another fifteen minutes, it seemed evident that the fish was ready to be boated. The shark gate was opened and we offered the fish a warm welcome on board. The fish obviously didn't like the look of me, knelt down ready for it, and with one thrash of his head, got me in the forearm with two of his teeth! OUCH!
However, ten minutes later, and with a few drops of my blood on the deck, we got him on board.
We measured the fish, length and girth, and with the formula/equation which we have from Southampton Oceanographic Centre, we estimated the fish to be around 365lbs in weight.
There has been speculation over the said formula/equation as some people do not believe it accurately measures the weight of the Porbeagle Shark. If the formula is however correct, then we have not only broken our own personal record, but have also set another port record for the heaviest rod-caught fish out of Whitby.
Sam is pictured with his prize!!!
And now....for a celebratory drink!! View Boats Page

Some lovely fishing again today aboard the boat with our regular team from just up the road. Lads from Redcar, Eston and Loftus and surrounding areas.
A good days picking of Cod and Ling again today for the boys. The results on the inshore marks still not good enough for the Shy-Torque crew. Burn that fuel and get to the fish!!!!!!!!!! :-(((((((((((
Best fish today fell to young Josh from Loftus at exactly 10lbs. Nice plump fish mate. Well done!!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
07.06.2013.
Some cracking fishing over the last few days aboard the Shy-Torque. Intermittent activity still on the inshore marks but the offshore areas still producing much better. The lads on Friday were a mixed group.
We tried the ground on the 9 mile for starters with just 1 Whiting for a couple of drifts. Offshore it was then (again)
The lads were well happy with the result at the end of the day with a total count of 90 fish. Mixed Cod and Ling with a couple of Haddock thrown in too!!
The lads decided at the start of the day that a sweep was in order at £5.00 entry per man.
The winner of the £60.00 was young Kyle Lawlor from Rotherham with a cod of 8lb 3oz.. He was a very happy young man!!!
Kyle is pictured. Well done mate!!! View Boats Page
