    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    August has started really well for us here at Whitby both with the weather and with the fishing.

    Yesterday and today we have been shark fishing on the Shy-Torque, sadly with no fish showing again.

    A mate of mine told me yesterday that the Icelandic fleet have taken some 500,000 tonnes of mackerel from the sea up there over the last 3 months. This has to have a massive impact on the way the sharks are feeding and is probably the main reason we have yet to boat one this year. That is one Hell of a lot of fish!!!!

    The lads have however have had some good fishing on the ground whilst waiting for the big boy with plenty of small codling to 7lbs and an odd half decent ling popping up, the best going a shade over 14lbs for Peter Bloom from Pickering.

    The weather is set to stay settled for the next few days here and with the tides falling to neaps again from tomorrow we should be seeing some good sport.

    Pictured is Peter Bloom who looks after the seal and sea lions at Flamingo Land theme park.
    His personal best to date at 14lb 3oz.

    Tight lines
    Rich.
