Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The boat is almost ready for the start of the New Year now. Basically we are just waiting for the new engines to arrive and we are just about there. A total re-fit is definately something I wouldn't want to do each year !!!
As soon as we are back in the water and the sea trials have been completed I will adjust the availability calendar accordingly. It might just be that we are ready sooner rather than later ( here's hoping!! ) So keep an eye on the calendar if your thinking about an early season trip. We will sail with a minimum of 4 anglers.
May I take this opportunity to thank all those who sailed with us during 2013 ( both old and new ) and hope we see you all again during the 2014 season.
Happy Xmas to one and all and lets hope we all have a prosperous 2014.
Cheers

Report on-board Mistress
What a belting day we had today.
I had two lads taking the boat from Bradford and boy were they rewarded, its the 1st day back to sea following the last Northerly, plenty of colour in the water I noticed on the way out.
The day got away quite slowly until the tide turned then it just went bananas all afternoon.
I fished too seeing as we had a good bit of space available, between the 3 of us we took between 40 and 50 Cod.
The Best angler took 22 cod, taking home over 22lb of prime fillet.
The most surprising thing was the stamp of the fish coming aboard we saw many fish today between 6lb and 10lb, The best cod took the boat scales round to 10lb 4oz
The best bait by far was half a black lug tipped off with a strip of squid.
Pictured are Nigel and David from Bradford with a few fish from their catch, well done men! View Boats Page

We only had three people booked on today, so stayed inshore uptiding.
The tides weren't ideal and the water is beginning to clear a little inside.
We weren't disappointed though, between us we managed around 40 cod. The best lad taking 15 himself.
Unfortunately nothing massive to report, the best went to Darren from Lincolnshore with a well conditioned 6lb + Cod
We also caught, Lesser Spotted Dogfish, Pouting, Whiting and Ling. The rod tips rattled away all day for us.
Pictured is Darren with is Cod, well done mate! View Boats Page

Whilst the boat is high and dry for her maintenance work we have the use of another boat.
Five lads from Southport joined us for a trip off yesterday, which for me was a very pleasant change indeed after over 2 weeks of work on mine in the boatyard!
We had a steady cruise out to the 7 and 9 mile ground where the lads had a picking of codlings pretty much all day. The water is still crystal clear out there and the artificials are still doing the business as well as the baited lures. Best lad taking around 12 codling himself, best weight around 7lb.
The relief boat we have is fuelled and ready to go anytime so keep an eye on the weather and if you fancy a run off from now up until Xmas feel free to give me a ring.
Cheers
