    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    This last weekend saw the lads on the Shy-Torque enjoying some more quality cod fishing.

    The offland winds have prevailed all this last week leading to the waters here being crystal clear offshore and spot on for some serious shad fishing!

    The tides were ideal for us to have a run back to the wrecks 20 miles East/Northeast of Whitby but one of my mates was there the previous day so we decided to try a new pasture.

    First stop on Sunday was an area known to the local trawler lads as "The Rocks" some 23 miles North East of the harbour. This fairly small area is renowned for damaging their gear as it is extreemly snaggy. A good choice indeed as we were able to work the area all day with a good amount of fish on board before home time. (Not many charter skippers know this spot like us, so it usually produces quite well)

    We left the "Rocks" still catching fish so we will definately be trying there again the next time we get the weather.

    I would just like to congratulate John Whitton from the Whitby charter boat "Never Can Tell" after one of his anglers won a recent competition here with a cracking cod of 20lb 12oz. Well done mate. John is also one of Whitby's commercial potting skippers and his knowledge of the marks inside 1/2 mile is amazing, as he has proven!!! He is certainly worth having a look at in any future inshore competitions.

    Pictured is Kev Gillings from Lincolnshire with a lovely cod just short of 14lbs caught on the Shy-Torque.
