    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    15.05.24.

    Small tides, a flat calm sea and a good bunch of lads on board.
    Surely the perfect recipe for a perfect day on the water?

    We sailed at the usual time of 7.0.am yesterday and decided to head to the 5 mile area to start on a couple of bits of scrap, basically to see if there had been any change in the fishing from last time we tried there.

    The first few drifts saw both Codling and Ling coming on board steadily which was great!
    All the fish were coming up on the baited rigs. Hokkais and baited muppets tipped with squid doing the job.

    I was determined to get them on the Shads but sadly to no avail.
    A few tugs but nothing definite.
    I was guessing that the water was still too murky there.

    We moved just 1.5 miles down to the South next and tried a tiny piece of wreckage which I have, that is rarely fished.

    I persevered with the Shad and bingo, they were taking fair and square on that one.
    This got me thinking that maybe there was patchy bloom in the water.

    When we’d picked that bit clean, we moved out over slack water to try some strips of ground and it was alive!

    Feed fish all over the grounds and plenty of fish on the feed too!

    I reckon that for the last 20 or so drifts over a small ledge, I personally managed at least 1 Cod each go on the Shad! Brilliant sport.

    Regular angler on the Shy-Torque III Chris Siddle, showed his skills off to everyone today and managed to fill his box (6 stone) to the brim. He took all his fish on the baited rigs.
    Chris also took the best 2 fish on board too
    A couple of lovely chunky Cod around the 8 lb mark.

    It has to be the best day on the inshore marks for us this year with a tally of close on 80 fish boated.
    Plenty to keep Fergus entertained with his sharp knife!

    The Cod are in and feeding lads!!

    Cheers
    Rich.
