15.06.2013 by Rich Ward.
A rather inclement week on the N.E coast this last week with the crews on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday on the Shy-Torque re-booking their trips for a bit later on in the year.
The fishing however has come on a treat since our last trip away on Tuesday.
Todays crew were some of my old mates from around the Darlington/ Richmond area who are regulars aboard the boat.
I must say that when I saw the last forecast last night I did have my doubts about today, but when Nigel Hall the organiser called and said that he thought we should give it a go I thought well what the hell !! It was after all a S.W.
The morning started fairly jowelly but by 11a.m the wind (as predicted ) was showing signs of decreasing.
We started the day off on the 3 mile ground for just a couple of codling. As the wind eased we moved out towards the 7 mile ground and sat there for the rest of the day. With cod to 10lbs coming aboard why move anywhere else!!
Because we'd had a nice early start ( just after 6a.m ) we decided at 3p.m that we'd caught enough for the day and a nice pint was in order, and returned to the "Endeavour" for a "couple" or 3 !!
Nigel and his crew are back again next Sat for the first day of the Summer angling festival where we'll be looking for that £5000.00 winning fish !!!
Pictured is John Wilson from Hurworth Nr Darlington with the best cod today.

Avante fishing updates 11/6/13
This weekend was a hard fight for fish but we saw a change on Monday with a great day for for Simon and Chris
Friday we had five anglers aboard and after hours of searching we did find the odd fish with Peter Catchpole landing a nice Pollock on one of the wrecks which fell to bait after everyone was shading and jellying for them as the cod for us were scarce we covered lots of wrecks for not a lot of fish in the end but they were all seasoned anglers and accepted the fact
Saturday I had a group from Wrexham who had been with me on the old boat they were a great set of lads of mixed abilities again we were struggling to find the fish and eventually found some small codling and haddocks around 13 miles off when they dried up I had a plan to try some inshore marks and some did throw out a few fish for the boys eventually we found a wreck which was holding a few more and some nice codlings were to be had around 5lb all I add on bait
Sunday I had Bernard and the Pocklington angling club aboard so I decided on a similar route disaster you would not believe what a day could make they hardly caught a thing all day I pulled all the stops out working from around 15miles back into the shallows for a few lings whiting and one or two cod a desaster of a day
Monday they were only three anglers on a few more never phoned in and I didn’t want to let them down so I decided because of the touch we had close in to target them again and boy what a change
I think Simon ended up with 14 cod in his bag and his partner Chris 15 cod all a good size yours truly in between making tea and setting the boat up and other dogs body jobs managed a stone of fillets while poor Jonty only landed 2 fish he did loose a few however the top lure was the old 4 inch rhubarb and custard shad nearly every fish fell for them I did try the sidewinder and other types as it always intrigues me why one colour or shape size whatever works one day and not the next but I had to admit being out fished by Chris ladies always do well why? we shall leave that one for another time
to summarise a poor start leading to the crescendo on Monday this must be the change we have all been waiting for?
keep posted for next weeks rundown

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!!

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

Report on-board Two Dogs
Hard to find the fish today but Jon Wilford Skipper of Two Dogs (Very clean and safe Offshore 105) put the miles in and wouldn't give up until he put us over a mark that really produced the goods
We had 70+ fish in total with 9 species and an outstanding best specimen Haddock of 3lb 12 oz. (not mine unfortunately)
Cod were well represented with some great mid water action on the way up with some lovely solid condition Coalfish and Pollack
Weather conditions were only average with a very cool sea mist and drizzle for the best part of the day
Jon will work hard for you and give great value for money
Ive been around a bit, in the fishing sense, and find Jon to be very knowledgeable ,helpful and above all else dependably honest
Give him a try you will not be disappointed (surprised that no previous reviews have been placed to be honest)
