Report on-board Mistress
Finally got my engine back in the boat and back in the water yesterday. The engine still needs running in so decided on a slow run out to a few marks to build a few hours up!
we tried a couple of patches of ground on the way out to a wreck that i thought would throw a few fish up for us. the ground never produced any fish, but we picked a few off the wreck, nothing enormous, biggest fish was maybe 6 or 7lb
All the fish were taken on shads of varying colours.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Cracking weather again this day for a great team of lads from the Leeds area. The fishing was pretty quiet on the morning so we pushed off to some wrecks 20 miles off and found good fishing for 3 or 4 hours. Best fish of the day was a lovely cod of 16lb 5oz. Had he caught this one a couple of weeks ago he would have won £1000.00 in the Spring Competition!! Unlucky !! Pictured is Will Thompson from Menston nr Leeds with his fish of 16lb 5oz., this being the heaviest cod caught this year from Whitby on a 10 hour trip.

The April competition has just come to an end with some cracking weather making for a great couple of weeks here in Whitby. We on the Shy-Torque tried our best as always in these events but couldn't manage the big one. Our best fish in this comp being a ling of 12lb and a few ounces, some 3lb short of the overall winner. Never the less everyone who entered with us had a great time and enjoyed some good fishing. A good few daily prizes were won with us also. We'd like to thank all those who fished with us in this years event and hope to see you all again soon. Maybe you could have a crack at the big one in the Summer festival ( 18.06 - 10.07 ) Pictured is Terry Harrison from Halifax with a 1st daily prize winner of 10lb.
