    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    30.09.2013.

    The September angling competition ended here last Saturday after all the boats cancelled for bad weather on the final day ( Sunday ) Good decision by all I think !!

    The last 3 days of the event saw the lads aboard the boat experiencing some top sport . Ling nudging just over the 20lb mark were boated with a good number into the teens.

    To be honest I don't think any of the skippers here at Whitby have ever tried harder to try and get that winning fish!!!

    After a count-up on the leader board we found that the lads on the Shy-Torque had managed more daily prize winners than any other of the boats in the competition including 4 x 1st place winners. A cracking result for both the boat and the lads combined.

    The 8 daily prize winners on the boat are as follows :-

    19.09.2013.
    Mark Nichols ( Selby ) 17lb 8.5oz - 1st Daily prize.
    Mark Kirby ( Sheffield ) 10lb 5.5oz - 2nd Daily prize.
    David Ezzy (Edinborough) 8lb 13.5 oz - 3rd Daily prize.

    25.09.2013.
    James Rook ( Barnsley ) 15lb 7.5oz - 3rd Daily prize.

    26.09.2013.
    Patrick May ( Loftus ) 18lb 14.5oz - 1st Daily prize.

    27.09.2013.
    Paul Siddle ( Hull ) 20lb 1.5oz - 1st Daily prize.

    27.08.2013.
    Stuart Hutchinson ( Barnsley ) 18lb 7oz - 3rd Daily prize.

    28.09.2013.
    John Walker ( Barnsley ) 19lb 1.5oz - 1st Daily prize.

    May I thank all the lads who fished this year aboard the boat in this years competitions and here's hoping we see you all again next year for some more excellent sport.

    Wherever you fish may your lines be tight!!

    Pictured is Paul Siddle from Hull with his 1st daily prize winner of 20lb 1.5oz. Paul was fishing with his mate Brian Towle (also from Hull) who won last years September competition on the Shy-Torque.

  • 24/09/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    24 Sep 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    24.09.2013.

    Today we had Paul Deardon's team from South Yorks Fire Dept join the boat to have a crack in this years September competition.

    Paul and the lads fish on the Shy-Torque 4 or 5 times a year and are usually blessed with good weather and good fishing too. Today was no exception for them.

    "Mill pond" conditions greeted us on our departure and remained that way all day for the lads. A bit misty and damp but who cares when you could hold a lit match up without it being blown out!!!!!!!

    The lads turned up with their usual group of 6 (nice light boat) so we headed out to a few wrecks to have a crack at the big one. The cod fishing was superb on the first two wrecks. Best fish going a tad under 10lb. No big ling though, although plenty of these too.

    We dropped on our last wreck just before 2.30pm giving us time for just 3 drifts. Again no big fellas but another 10 fish were boated to add to their overall catch of some 90 - 100 fish.

    The lads will be returning again next year for another crack at the prize money!

    Chris Mee is pictured with one of his many cod at just under 10lb.

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    22.09.2013.

    Jack Ellis, his dad and a couple of his mates from Sheffield were amongst a mixed group of lads on the 22nd this month.

    The codling were still playing hard to get as they have been quite a bit this year!

    The ling fishing however was excellent with some good sport for all the lads on the boat. No big fish on the day but plenty of them.

    The two best fish for the lads were a ling of 10lb for Jacks dad and a cod just short of 10lbs for Russ.

    Jack is pictured 2nd from the left.

    Cheers lads, great company.

  • 28/09/2013 Fishing Report by Paul Kilpatrick on Sea Otter 2 (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    28 Sep 2013 by Paul Kilpatrick

    Report on-board Sea Otter 2

    The last few days of the festival the lads have hammered the lings on thursday there was well over 100 lings onboard friday the best fish went 18lb and yesterday once again today the boat was laden with fish lings proved to be in vast numbers but also some quality cod came on onboard the best went 14lb for regular man mal from middlesbrough .

    One lad who i say was extremly unlucky yesterday onboard was John Holder john is a very good angler comes well prepaired and yesterday was no exception john was fishing with 120lb trace line and with that sort of heavy line if you hook into a big fish your chances of landing a big fish are very very good john hooked into what i can say was a very big ling john managed to get it 20-30 ft off the bottom then it took a hugh dive and smashed his 120lb trace line gutted i think i was even more dissapointed than john extremly unlucky for that to happen with trace line of that calibre the one that defernetly got away a big fish that would have probably won the festival very easyly.

    Young jack vero was onboard yesterday with his dad john and once again young jack was at it again banging those lings out 12 year old jack got a ling just ounces under 14lb but then his dad next drift got one over 14lb both just missing out on daily prizes .

    12 year old jack and his father john with 2 nice ling both just missed out on the daily prizes.

    22 Sep 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    The first day proper in this years September angling competition was Thursday 19th this week. The first 5 days being cancelled to some crappy weather !!

    With massive tides upon us we were really struggling to find anything of any size anywhere to be honest.

    We tried ground mark after ground mark in our quest to get a good fish or two on the leader board to set the precident. At slack water we dropped on a couple of wrecks for very little off one of them and nothing off the other!

    Just after slack we dropped on a little "hot spot" of mine which has thrown a good fish or two up in the past, with even a couple of overall festival winners too. First drift saw a relative newcomer to the Shy-Torque drop on a good ling of 17lb 8.5oz and another couple at just over 10lbs and 9lbs.

    Mark Nichols from Selby taking the £50.00 first prize on the day with his fish of 17lb 8.5oz.

    The other two fish taking second and third place on the day. A clean sweep for the lads!!

    Marks fish has since been beaten by another angler on another boat by a couple of pounds.

    Mark is pictured with his P.B fish.

  • 16/09/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    16 Sep 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    16.09.2013.

    We did our second to last sharking trip last Thursday (12th) with a group of regular lads from around the Richmond area. A lovely forecast for a change, allowing us to get out to our usual stomping ground where we have had good results on all the shark trips so far this year.

    Sadly this wasn't to be the case on this trip! A lovely days sport for the bottom fishing however, with around 20 pollack, 30 cod, 15 or so ling and various other bits and bobs including haddock. A nice picking for the 4 lads.

    I'm guessing that the Northerly blow which we'd had a few days prior to the trip had some effect on the days sharking.

    John Wilcock (crew) is pictured with one of his ling just over 13lb.

  • 14/09/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    14 Sep 2013 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    14.09.2014.

    Some real crappy weather here at the moment with even more to come. Typical, as it's the start of the late summer competition this weekend!!

    Last day off with general anglers for the Shy Torque was last Sunday (8th)

    A steady days work out on the rough ground on the 9 mile with some lovely ling showing. No monsters but a good number of fish to 12lbs were boated. Still not a great number of cod showing here but I'm sure things will improve on the cod front once the herring have disappeared, which will be in the next few weeks.

    No days left in September now but we do still have a few dates left in October and early November before we get the boat lifted out of the water on the 12 November for a re-fit, with new engines for 2014.

    Pictured is Daniel from Sedgefield Co Durham.

    Tight lines

  • 08/09/2013 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    8 Sep 2013 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    Following a successful day fishing the reefs here at Whitby on Sunday, taking a good few fish in to double figures, the best being 14lb 8oz, We had an evening trip booked with one of my regular anglers and his family. Marks kids are only young so to start with i suggested we have a crack at the uptiding to start with before going offshore for a few mackerel, seeing as I caught a few codlings from the shore the other night as well as getting plenty of bites.

    We got bites withing a few minutes of settling into anchor, and took several codling around 40cm in length, then young Sam got a better bite which resulted in a nice codling which took the boat scales to 4lb 12oz, we got a few more fish, then decided to head for a few Mackerel to finish the session with.

    All in all to say we only fished for around half an hour taking half a dozen codling was quite a good sign for the up coming uptiding season, which i believe will start early this year.

    We are currently experiencing a big northerly & when it dies down and we get back to sea on Thursday I think we will get fish uptiding. I currently have no one booked on and only need three people to make it viable for the day, if you fancy having ago at some early season inshore codling, give me a buzz on 07977 436 903

    cheers

    Rich

  • 05/09/2013 Fishing Report by Paul Kilpatrick on Sea Otter 2 (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    5 Sep 2013 by Paul Kilpatrick

    Report on-board Sea Otter 2

    Had all regular lads onboard yesterday with a good forcast the last one for a while by the look of things i decide to have a steam out the 20 mile the cod fishing at this time can be a little bit better out there than inshore around this time thats because its just alive with masses of food for the cod inshore and they can become a little bit picky the ling are in droves at the moment they feed like mad as the herring shoals have now arrived and just gorge themselves .

    Steve with one of his cod some real quality fish about .
