Report on-board Shy-Torque III
If any of you intrepid anglers out there have ever thought about trying a spot of shark fishing then you could be doing yourselves a massive favour by choosing the fantastic port of Whitby in North Yorkshire. The targeted sharks we on the Shy-Torque III are aiming to catch are the porbeagles which mainly run off here from May through to the end of October. The heaviest porbeagles we have boated to press here off Whitby were both caught this year and one is pictured here. They were both nudging the 300lb mark!!! The lucky anglers who boated them were John Wilcock from Bradford and Dave Brown ( picture ) from Hull. Both fish took well over an hour to land !! We also reckon we had even bigger shark than this on the line this year. One of the " Ones that got away " actually bending the hook almost straight !! Puts paid to the idea that you have to go abroad to experience BIG GAME FISHING !!! If you want to have a go at these magnificent fish next year drop me a line or an Email.

Poor weather is spoiling the start to Whitby last fishing festival of the year. However it looks set to pick up hopefully for the week end. Fingers crossed the north westerly airflow comes off the land quickly.

This last few days has been a bit of a struggle with so much wind on some very heavy tides, however Sunday the strong wind fell away for a couple of hours and Wham! fish applenty! just goes to prove that the big tides are not a p[roblem ,if the wind will co-operate. Start booking your winter up/down tiding pretty soon or the week end dates will all have gone.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
On a recent shark fishing trip we were lucky enough to come across something rather unusual on the Shy-Torque. The day was uneventful regarding the sharks however during slack water my crewman John Wilcock decided to have a go at a little bottom fishing. After 5 minutes or so he hooked into what was going to give him one hell of a scrap for the next 20! With two "runs" on the bottom which peeled off line like a big game fish he eventually pursuaded it to leave the depths and started coaxing it toward the boat. On route the fish made 3 or 4 heavy dives and if it weren't for Johns 50+ years of sea angling experience ( not all with myself !! ) the fish would probably have smashed him to bits ! On seeing the fish approach the surface I decided that the landing net was not going to be sufficient and decided on the gaff. A good decision indeed as the fish nearly dragged me over the side !! John managed this fine fish to the boat using a Shakespeare 30lb class rod armed with 30lb Berkeley Whiplash braid, but just to make it really impressive he was using a 49p 3 x hook Fladen daylight trace bought from our local Boyes store! A credit to both Fladen and John. Well done mate.
