    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Paul Mawson and his 6 mates chartered the boat yesterday for a 12 hour trip.
    A 5.0am start was asked for so that’s what we did as conditions were perfect for it.
    I must say though, it was a strange feeling steaming in the dark. Like going back to my younger commercial days!
    First stop was a wreck 17 miles NNE of the harbour and to be fair I did question whether we would have enough daylight when we got there. It seemed we had, and the lads brought 4 fish over the side on the first pass.
    I thought we’d cracked it but sadly not, with just another 4 or 5 coming up after that.
    Wreck number 2 was a short hop out behind it and again we took another 7 or 8 fish that’s all.
    A bit more of a steam then to a couple of wrecks SE of Bayman’s Hole where we fished pretty much the same. 6,8, maybe 10 fish off each that’s all. Not brilliant for the distance we were, at 32 miles!
    We finished off on a couple more wreck just 20 miles ENE of the harbour with yet another half dozen off each. Lots of Ling boated with the usual chuck backs and a sprinkling of Codling. Paul from Bridlington taking the sweep with a Ling of just 11lbs.
    Most of their fish coming up in the baited rigs.
    Total tally for the day when worked out, around the 50 mark, which for the distance travelled was no great shakes.
    Having said that, all the team were old hats, regular anglers with us, very experienced and fully knew the score, knowing that sometimes you don’t always “bag up” the further afield you go.
    A great days entertainment with good crack all the way from the off though!
    Cheers for a great day lads and looking forward to your next 12 hour trip in October.
