Report on-board Shy-Torque III
11.03.18.
After picking away on the wrecks last Friday we all agreed that a run out to the "Wall" was in order for a change yesterday. Nobody had been out there for quite some time so there was a reasonable chance that there would be a days fishing there for us. The conditions were absolutely perfect for a cruise well offshore with glassy calm seas.
As soon as we arrived and dropped in the rods were bouncing all around the boat. The fish had gathered up there nicely and were feeding well in a fairly big feed mark we had found. Third drift in and up popped a seal, and then another which slowed things up a lot!
We then started playing a cat and mouse game up and down the ground, trying to keep away from them! Every time we were clear of them we dropped on the fish. They would follow us and we would move again! It went on all day long. Quite comical really.
Over the course of the day we saw a good number of "doubles" landed and one of the team, Dan managed a "treble" too which was great. All these were caught on the baited Hokkai rigs. Total tally for the day was around 80 fish. Again, nothing big at all with the best fish maybe a shade over 6 lbs.
We did have a fantastic day with the wildlife sightings too. At 11 am we were visited by a pod of 8 Dolphins leaping and jumping around! What a fantastic sight for this time of year! But the best thing we saw was a Porbeagle shark which circled the boat for about 5 minutes. A big fish too which I reckon was a good 8 ft long and would be in excess of 300 lbs. I have to say that was a very rare sight for this time of year. Food for thought for next year. Might just have a go for them a bit earlier in 2019!
Available dates in this years Spring competition which starts on April 7th till April 22nd. We still have room on the weekend dates and also midweek and as always individuals are most welcome to join us at any time.
A nice top cash prize of £1000.00 up for grabs with various other daily prizes.
Cheers and tight lines

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
09.03.18
Managed a run off last Friday with a mixed group of lads.
After the recent "Beast from the East" weather which lasted over a week we figured that the colour of the water was probably going to be poor. We had a couple of drops on the 9 mile to start, just to see if things were any good but sadly they weren't!! After several more drops there for nothing we decided to have a run out to try a bit of scrap further off shore to see if it was clearer.
The next drop was on a wreck around 17 miles off and straight away we were on the action. Steady fishing for around 2 hours produced around 50 fish with the best fish being a pollack of 9 lb 7 oz. No big Cod showing at all at the moment. The best Cod on the day going around 5 lbs. Fish were boated on the artificials and the baited rigs too. A nice day weather wise and a nice days sport too.
Rich Horobrov is pictured with a nice Pollack just short of double figures, best fish of the day.
The Spring competition is starting here at Whitby on April 7th and runs for 2 weeks until April 22nd. We still have room in the 1st event of the year here at Whitby. If you fancy your luck give e ring or mail me to make any bookings and as always individuals are very welcome indeed.
Cheers

Report on-board Mistress
The fishing remains steady here at Whitby as it has done all winter. Sorry this report is a bit late in còming for last weekend. We were busy all weekend from friday through to sunday.
Each day averaged 50/60 codlings to keep with 20-30 chuckbacks too so the rods were nodding away steady all the time.
Best baits remain unwashed squid and black lug.
As long as the weather stays settled we will be starting to venture out to wrecks in the next week or so. I have a mini break booked in so charters will resume from Tuesday 27th Feb.
If youre interested in a trip with me on Mistress here at Whitby, give me a call or text on 07977 436903. Prices start at £5 per hour per person. Tackle and bait can be supplied at cost.

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Had a run off yesterday after a short break away. Wasn't sure what to expect as the weather hasn't really been that good for offshore work.
Regular Shy-Torque angler Bill Barraclough from Barnsley joined us with a couple of others, Matt and John from Mersyside.
A run out to a couple of mid distance wrecks proved to be great for us all. The fish were flying aboard at one point and Bill managed a couple of "doublers" and even a treble!! He fished the bait all day and ended up with around 20 fish himself!
With the water as clear as gin and alive with sprats, this made the shad and sidewinder fishing terrific as well. I personally had nearly 30 Cod myself, all taken on the artificials. Great sport especially for the time of year.
The lads are pictured with some of their haul!
We have a few days coming up shortly with individuals booked on so if you fancy joining them check out the calendar and give me a ring.
The competition dates for anyone who doesn't have them yet are as follows :-
Spring comp :- April 7th - 22nd inc.
Summer :- June 23rd - July 15th Inc.
Late Summer :- Sept 15th - 30th inc.
There is still availability in all the competitions but the Summer one is starting to get a fair bit of interest as usual.
We only have 5 days left in the Summer comp where the boat is empty, so if you were wanting a club booking check out the calendar for those.
As always we are taking lots of individual bookings so there a good number of days where you can join others on the boat too.
