    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Yesterday was a very nice day indeed for Brian Towle from Hull as we held our presentation for the winner of the 2012 September fishing festival here at Whitby.

    Brian was fishing aboard the Shy-Torque on the penultimate day of the competition and landed a cracking ling of 23lb 11.5oz to take the 1st prize of £1000.00 in cash plus £50.00 cash for the heavieast fish of the day.

    John Wilcock from Bradford was previously holding the lead for a week with another good ling of 21lb 5.5oz also on the Shy-Torque which he hoped had done it! Unlucky John!

    Brian came through to Whitby with his family to collect the money to which his wife said "I'm going to enjoy helping him to spend it!"

    Congratulations mate and look forward to seeing you all on your trips next year.

    Pictured from right to left are skipper Rich Ward, Brian Towle (winner!) Frankie Laws ( representing sponsors "Mr Chips" fish and chip shop ) and Paul Kilpatrick from the WCSA.

    A big thank you goes to Adrian at Mr Chips for the sponsorship each year and also to Barry at the Endeavour pub ( presentation venue and the best pint in town!! ) who also sponsors the events. Without the local support of businesses like these we wouldn't be able to hold the biggest competitions in the country. Thanks again!!!

    Tight lines as ever

    Rich.
