Report on-board Shy-Torque III
For those that knew what they were doing yesterday they fished ok and ended with a nice few fillets for the fridge/freezer and were all well pleased with the results.
The thing that really makes me question my professionalism is when you explain to people how to fish and they don’t listen to nigh on 50 years of experience, don’t catch and then say “why am I not catching” I start to scratch my ever balding head!
This game isn’t rocket science and catching fish (if they are there) is quite achievable if advice is taken on board. My crewman and myself are here to guide and explain things if needed.
The more effort you put in, the greater the reward as is the case with most things in life.
Ok, personal rant over!
We started the day off on a bit of scrap 17miles North for a handful of fish, maybe 8 or so. A move in to the West around 5 miles to a smaller wreck produced only another dozen fish or so, so I decided to drop back to ground/reef to end the days fishing.
We picked away slowly for the last 2-3 hours (2-3 fish per drift) and ended the day ok with Codling to a shade under 7lbs.
Shads worked well for myself with 10 fish and the lads picked away with the baited rigs too.
Another beautiful day on the water with a half decent result in numbers of fish boated.
The Summer competition starts here at Whitby on Saturday 24th June and runs for 3 weeks inclusive.
We still have a few spots left so if you fancy a crack at it just contact me on the number or email below.
Cheers and keep a tight line,
Rich
