    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    We managed to squeeze in a day at sea yesterday in between all this horrible weather.

    We also managed to get away a little early at 6.30am as the group were all aboard and ready by then, which is always good.

    A little bit of swell was running from the North but there was very little or no wind at all so a fine morning welcomed us.

    The Mackerel were still running well and after a couple of drifts the nine lads had enough go or the bait.

    After the Mackerel fishing at the start, the bottom fishing wasn’t anything to shout home about at all.
    Just an odd fish here and there throughout the day.

    One of our anglers however, Dave Oswin, who fishes with us quite regularly, had a really good day and almost filled a box himself!
    Dave was working Paul Mason's starboard aft corner and said that’s why he’d had a good day (because Paul wasn’t onboard!)

    Dave cracked his PB Ling mid morning with a nice fish tipping the scales at 10.5 lbs.
    Just an hour after that, he managed to better that and took one which scaled at 14. 5lbs
    Well done to him!

    The other lads on board including three newcomers from Lithuania, probably gathered around twenty fish to keep between them.
    Every fish taken on the baited rigs of Squid and Mackerel.

    A quick stop for some more fresh Mackerel to take home and we were done.

    Nice to see some new faces on the boat and nice to get a small window to set out to sea again, after yet another week off for poor weather.

    Speaking to my work colleagues here at Whitby earlier in the week and we really can’t remember a year as poor as this, ever!
    We are looking forward to the Uptiding season to start already. Maybe the weather will be a bit kinder to us over the winter period!

    The Shy-Torque III is running its own Uptiding competition this year, just before Xmas.

    Dates are 15th - 22nd December inc. (check the calendar on here or on F.B for availability)

    We’ll have a little Xmas music playing, mince pies and a drop of mulled wine if you fancy a drop.
    Cash prizes on offer too.

    Hopefully see you then if not before.
