    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday was our first day back at sea since the 2nd April due to all the rubbish weather we are all suffering with at present.
    It too was the first day out in our Spring angling competition here at Whitby.

    We sailed with just 7 lads aboard so plenty of room for everyone.

    I was going to try some wrecks and ground around the 9 mile area, but as we approached, we realised the water clarity was still suspect and so carried on a bit further.

    We dropped on a piece of scrap 12 miles North of the harbour and the lads picked around 10 fish from it. No festival weighing fish so we moved out a bit further.

    The next wreck we stopped on is one of my favourites as it has thrown a lot of competition winners out in the past.

    A steadyish picking for a couple of hours on that one producing around 25 fish.
    Again, nothing big, but a couple of doubles coming on board which is always encouraging and good to see.
    Paul from Brid taking one of the doubles which, when he was winding up, was hoping it was just the one fish! Unlucky mate!
    Every fish bar one boated on the day fell to the baited rigs of Squid and Mackerel.

    I managed one Codling, fair and square on the shad which indicated the clarity down there wasn’t too bad.
    It was the only one though!

    John from Newcastle took our best fish on the boat, a Codling just shy of 6lbs which was pipped at the scales at the end of the day by a Ling of 6.5lbs.

    All in all, a nice day at sea with some great company.m and nice calm conditions for a change.

    Yet another Northerly hindering us now which we’re waiting to fade.

    The association has extended the Spring competition for another week and now runs through until Sunday 5th May.

    The £1000.00 first prize is there for anyone to have a go at, so come and join us next week sometime!
    All dates available on the Shy-Torque are listed on our calendar on our website and on CBUK or you can give me a ring or text me on :-

    Cheers for now
