    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    This last weekend fished very well indeed for both Saturdays and Sundays teams.

    We had a mixed group aboard the boat on Saturday. All regular anglers from as far afield as Birmingham and Barnsley. We fished a wreck around 17 miles to start the day off where the lads picked around 25 fish from it.
    We moved back inshore a bit then, where the lads picked steadily for the rest of the day on the rough ground. Best rod on the day was Simon England from Leeds who ended up with 15 fish with a mixture of Cod, Ling, and Pollack.

    Sunday saw a team of 7 taking the boat for the day. Phil Walker and his mates from around the Hornsea area joined us where we fished around the 9 mile ground for the first few hours with a steady picking of Cod and Ling being boated. With the forecast set to increase by mid afternoon we moved to a strip of ground on the 7 mile where we found some much better Cod and Ling. Cod to 11.5 lbs and Ling to 12 lbs were landed along with a good number of Pollack to just over 8 lb. A great days sport for all.

    Sadly, the forecast is set to be rubbish all this week so time for a few maintenance jobs on the boat. Hopefully the weather will improve for next weeks anglers.
    We do have some spaces left on a couple of the days.
    Tuesday 30th October - Room for 4 anglers.
    Thursday 1st November - Room for 4 anglers.

    Cheers and tight lines as ever!

  • 01/10/2018 Fishing Report by Jon Whitton on Alexia (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    1 Oct 2018 by Jon Whitton

    Report on-board Alexia

    We're a couple of weeks into the uptiding season for winter cod. The fishing has got of to a slow start with only small numbers of codlings coming up in the first week. This last week has seen the uptiding improve slightly with catch numbers increasing. The weather this time of year is a key factor for us getting out and has already seen us loose most of September the worst I can remember for several years which was surprising as it's usually a good month for fishing. We will continue to fish the winter season and get out as much as we can and hopefully bring you a good catch report. Tight lines for now !!

    12 Oct 2018 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    To say the weather here at Whitby has been anything but crap for the last 6 weeks would be a lie! Never known anything like it to be honest.
    The September comp was a complete washout with just 4 days taken at sea and 12 days cancelled !!

    On the days we managed, we did see some decent fish boated on the Shy-Torque III. Mark Konarski boated the heaviest cod in the comp at a shade under 14 lbs and Alan Sutcliffe landed the 3rd overall heaviest fish in the comp, a ling of 14 lb 2 oz. Well done to those two with their fish. Thank you to all those who were booked with us and just so sorry we couldn't get you to sea for a crack at the prize money. Better weather next year hopefully!

    Next years (2019) competition dates are now ready and are below :-
    Spring :- April 13th - 28th inc.
    Summer :- June 22nd - July 14th inc.
    Late Summer :- Sept 7th - 22nd inc.

    The boat will be, as always, working through the winter months. Just a week or so out of the water for maintenance.
    Take a look at the availability calendar on the websites.

    Report on-board Alexia

    Monday 17th september 2018 we fished our first trip in the wcsa autumn festival with regulars Chris lax , Stu Spink and the lads from hull. 5 anglers in total. We fished a well known wreck approx 12 miles down the coast. The tides were spot on (neaps) and it wasn't long before the lads were into ling . The lads were fishing with a mixture of rigs from baited hokkais to shad and side winders . The weather was forecast for it to get fairly breezy from the south east from around dinner but it never came and the lads boated over 40 ling up to 11lb 10oz with the general stamp been between 6lb and 10lb. We spent several hours on the wreck picking up fish every drift. Just after dinner we moved on trying various wrecks whilst heading back to whitby and picked up around half a dozen codlings up to 7lb. Unfortunately we didn't manage any places amongst the prizes for the day. The comp runs until the 30th September so hopefully we can sneak a day or 2 before the festival ends and hopefully get amongst the prizes. To book or for more info contact barry on 07470354403

  • 18/09/2018 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    18 Sep 2018 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The September competition started here at Whitby last weekend (Saturday)

    Darren Bradley and his mates from Derby had the boat booked for the weekend.

    We targeted the mackerel at the start of the day which were plentiful. Enough for the bait stocks for the day on the 1st couple of drifts.

    We moved out to some ground to start the day as the drift was a bit too quick for the wrecking job and the lads picked around a dozen codling on the bait and the shads. As the tide eased we had a run to a wreck a bit further off to hit it at slack water and into the change of tide. The majority of them were shad fishing with a couple on the bait. They managed around 50 fish between them, the best fish falling to Hadrian with a cod around 7 lbs.

    No big fish were boated on the day but all the lads had a really enjoyable day. Sadly we lost the Sunday to bad weather . Our Adam filleted all the fish down for the lads on the way back in.

    The lads are pictured inset.

    Just 2 days left with any room now in the competition.

    They are :-
    Thursday 27th. Room for 9.
    Friday 28th. Room for 2.
