Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Regular angler with us Darryl Machant and the lads joined us for the day yesterday.
We started out trying for the Mackerel at the bell bouy as I’d seen a couple being landed on the West extension as we left harbour.
Straight away the lads were pulling a few in and after a couple of short drifts we had gathered plenty enough for the day.
Slack water ebb was just after 10.0am so we used the last of the ebb and steamed to a small wreck 12 miles North of the town.
The lads picking around 15 Codling from it.
I think there were a few more on the wreck but as the cross tide drift was making things awkward and as I was missing it as much as hitting it, we chose to run South to a bigger bit of ironwork.
Straight away they were into the fish again and after an hour or so the lads had gathered another 20+ keepers along with usual throw backs.
When we had “milked” that one we finished the day off on the ground and again they were knocking the Codling out.
Old Stevie who’s in his late 80’s out fished everyone on board with 9 nice Codling to around 6.5lbs. Great to see and well done mate!! You’re a star.
It’s really great when you get a few fish at every stop visited. Makes the day so enjoyable. Tally for the day, 40-50 takers.
Thanks lads. Excellent day with you as ever with cracking banter as always!
See you all again on your next trip.
