Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Yesterday was a very nice day indeed for Brian Towle from Hull as we held our presentation for the winner of the 2012 September fishing festival here at Whitby.
Brian was fishing aboard the Shy-Torque on the penultimate day of the competition and landed a cracking ling of 23lb 11.5oz to take the 1st prize of £1000.00 in cash plus £50.00 cash for the heavieast fish of the day.
John Wilcock from Bradford was previously holding the lead for a week with another good ling of 21lb 5.5oz also on the Shy-Torque which he hoped had done it! Unlucky John!
Brian came through to Whitby with his family to collect the money to which his wife said "I'm going to enjoy helping him to spend it!"
Congratulations mate and look forward to seeing you all on your trips next year.
Pictured from right to left are skipper Rich Ward, Brian Towle (winner!) Frankie Laws ( representing sponsors "Mr Chips" fish and chip shop ) and Paul Kilpatrick from the WCSA.
A big thank you goes to Adrian at Mr Chips for the sponsorship each year and also to Barry at the Endeavour pub ( presentation venue and the best pint in town!! ) who also sponsors the events. Without the local support of businesses like these we wouldn't be able to hold the biggest competitions in the country. Thanks again!!!
Tight lines as ever
Rich.

Report on-board Sea Otter 2
The wreck fishing of late has been excellent with shads hammering the cod but toaday with the wind forcast being quite strong i decided to have a crack inshore uptiding .
The storm we had earlyer in the week was big and i new cod would have come well inshore in droves its getting to that time of year late september that the uptiding is just round the corner but what a surprize the lads got today with cod and ling both in double figures with other cod upto and around the 7lb mark all the indications point to a massive upting season
This man with his PB a cod of 13lb.
I am now booking for 2013 if its cod your after look no further. View Boats Page

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The September angling festival finished on Sunday here at Whitby and what a cracking time the Shy-Torque boys had on the closing days!!
Ben Laws from Whitby taking a 1st daily prize in the last week with a lovely ling of 18lb 12oz .
Then John Wilcock ( winner of more competitions here at Whitby than anyone) took over 1st place on the leader board on the 3rd to last day with a cracking ling of 21lb 5.5oz which, to be honest, we thought was going to be good enough to win the event. We were wrong!
On the penultimate day of the competition Brian Towle from Hull hauled up a belting ling of 23lb 11.5oz from a wreck only 9 miles from shore which took overall 1st place in the event winning him a very nice £1000.00 first prize plus his £50.00 first daily prize. Not a bad days work!!
Yet another competition win for the Shy-Torque!!!
We would like to thank all the anglers who fished aboard the Shy-Torque during this years competitions and hope to see you all again next year hopefully for some more winners!!!!!

Report on-board Mistress
The Autumn festival has now come to a close this year, the best fish weighed in was just shy of 24lb. Unfortunately on Mistress we missed the top place by just 3lb!!!
Although we didnt get the top prize this year on Mistress, we did get alot of decent fish for our anglers. We entered the festival 10 times throughout this competition (everyday I got to sea), we had many fish in the teens, two great ling just short of 20lb, a few PB's and many lost fish too! (just look at the gallery from the 8th to 23rd Sep)
I would like to thank all the anglers taking part on my boat and others, without your continued support we wouldnt be able to run these popular events. I would also like to thank the weigh masters who did an exellent job in weighing, photographing and reporting each day.
Pictured is Chris Gibson with our heaviest fish of the compeition - A nice Ling of 19lb 12 1/2oz, it won him a daily 1st prize, well done mate View Boats Page
