Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Today saw the weather almost on the "perfect" side for a good cruise off shore and as the tides are fairly big at the moment we had a conflab before we sailed!
The lads all agreed that a trip to the "wall" was in order . With the remnants of the Northerly swell left from yesterday and after a 27 mile steam we arrived at 9.0.am and began the hunt.
Fishing was a little slow to begin with over slack but as the tide got moving on the ebb the fish started flying aboard! Again, the clarity is playing a major role in how we are succeeding on the day and the best tactic today again was the baited Hokkai traces.
The shads and artificials are catching but not as well as the bait.
A long steam out there but nearly always worth it !!!
If you fancy a trip to the "wall" yourselves let me know when you are making your enquiries.
Pictured is Lee Taylor from Liverpool with his best cod of the day at 9lb.
Wherever you are fishing may your lines be tight!!!

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Plenty of mixed groups just lately on the Shy-Torque.
A split group of lads from Liverpool and Silsden nr Skipton joined us the other day and enjoyed a really good days sport on the rough ground on the 9 mile. Plenty of codling and ling to around the 10lb mark.
Most of the fish being taken on the baited Hokkai traces again today. Hokkai tipped with squid and fresh mackerel doing the job. An indication that the water below isn't as clear as on the surface. Continuing Northerly swells hindering the clarity on the bottom at the moment.
Pictured is Chris Atkinson from Silsden nr Skipton North Yorks with a nice cod of 9lbs. View Boats Page

Black Horse Fishing Club
Today we had a group of guys from the Black Horse Fishing Club. With the wind forecast to drop we locked out and headed up the Mersey. As we entered the Rock Channel, their was a slight swell. The guys had decided to go offshore. We got to our first mark and started to fish. Mackeral started coming in thick and fast. We moved to another mark and carried on fishing. Even more mackeral and some Pollack were brought aboard. The conditions had got worse instead of getting better, so the guys decided to go for Smoothound and Bass. We made our way back in and dropped the anchor. Whilst most of the guys were baiting up, Shaun had already cast out waiting for his first bite, which seemed to be straight away. The first bite didnt produce but the second cast out and he had hooked into a nice Smoothie. Getting it into the net and bringing it aboard, weighing in at 13lb. After this everybody on the boat seemed to be landing them one after the other. To add to the mix, Dabs, Weavers and Doggies were brought aboard, aswell as more mackeral. The total Smoothie count for the was 36 to 13lb. The weather conditions were not good with a constant driving rain all day that soaked everybody. Shauns brother stuck it out in his shorts and wellies, while everyone else took shelter under the canopy.
Some nice fish brought in by a great group of guys.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The crew on the Shy-Torque today were again a mixed lot from all over the place, as far afield as Scotland!!
The ground fishing proved the best for these lads today and we managed to gather a fine selection of both cod and ling. Nothing of any real size, however there were a few ( what looked like ) better fish hooked and lost through too much heavy "pumping" !
With a good number of mackerel showing at the bouy this morning this was to be the best bait today with the lads tipping the hokkai traces.
Pictured is Dave Bowman, a mate of mine from Liverton Mines, Cleveland.

Report on-board Mistress
What a lovely day to be at sea today! only a light breeze and sun shine all day, it actually felt like summer!
We're still on neap tides, so a bit of wrecking was in order today!
We sailed and got to our first mark as the ebb tide was starting to push, I decided to start on the wreck where we caught a good few cod the day before. Sadly we only took a few Whiting for our efforts, so a quick a move to a reef nearby saw us making a start on the better fish!
First drop saw around 4 Codlings and a couple of Ling. We continued fishing the reef edges taking a steady picking each drift.
As the fishing eased I moved to a small wreck and the lads took a few more Codlings.
The tide started easing at this point to I moved to a wreck which can occasionally throw out a few better fish.
The lads managed a few mackerel for bait on arrival then started dropping the bigger baits for the better fish! Well, we came up trumps today, we managed a couple of cod around the 10lb mark, plenty of Ling then on our second to last drift one of lads struck into something a little better!
He managed to turn the fish as it made for the wreck, and I instructed him to slow down and wind steady, a quick adjustment of his drag saw him wind the fish to the surface with a few lunges from the fish taking line each time! I got the gaff into it and it spun taking the gaff out my hand! after a heart stopping 3 seconds I leaned over side and got it back and boated the fish.
After unhooking and weighing, we had a Ling 27lb on the boat, one very pleased angler and I must admit I was a bit excited too! absolutely typical that the festival ended a week and a half ago had it been caught in the festival Andy would have netted himself a cool £5000! better luck next time.

We started the day on a wreck a few miles from port today as it was pretty much slack water when we got out. The lads set about taking a steady picking of fish until the tide started pushing. Although the day wasnt hectic the lads took a steady picking of fish all day from each mark we stopped at. Bait fished better today although the shads still accounted for a few nice fish.
We worked a mixture of ground and wrecks today catching quite a few fish into double figures. Finally on a wreck we took an extra 20-30 codlings and pollock to finish the day on high note.
Species taken today include, Ling to 15lb, Cod to 10lb, Pollock to 6lb, thean a mixture of Coalie, Whiting, Pouting, Mackerel and Tub Gurnard.
