Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
19 Feb 2018 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Had a run off yesterday after a short break away. Wasn't sure what to expect as the weather hasn't really been that good for offshore work.
Regular Shy-Torque angler Bill Barraclough from Barnsley joined us with a couple of others, Matt and John from Mersyside.
A run out to a couple of mid distance wrecks proved to be great for us all. The fish were flying aboard at one point and Bill managed a couple of "doublers" and even a treble!! He fished the bait all day and ended up with around 20 fish himself!
With the water as clear as gin and alive with sprats, this made the shad and sidewinder fishing terrific as well. I personally had nearly 30 Cod myself, all taken on the artificials. Great sport especially for the time of year.
The lads are pictured with some of their haul!
We have a few days coming up shortly with individuals booked on so if you fancy joining them check out the calendar and give me a ring.
The competition dates for anyone who doesn't have them yet are as follows :-
Spring comp :- April 7th - 22nd inc.
Summer :- June 23rd - July 15th Inc.
Late Summer :- Sept 15th - 30th inc.
There is still availability in all the competitions but the Summer one is starting to get a fair bit of interest as usual.
We only have 5 days left in the Summer comp where the boat is empty, so if you were wanting a club booking check out the calendar for those.
As always we are taking lots of individual bookings so there a good number of days where you can join others on the boat too.

Fishing Report by Kevin McKie
on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)
Feb 2018 by Kevin McKie
Report on-board Size Matters
Size Matters has now finished on the Mersey for this winter season. The season started off very well back in October/November with good numbers of Rays and Cod showing in the Mersey and the wrecks where full of Pollack.
Sadly from the end of December after that very cold spell we had and all the rain,
the Mersey just never recovered and steadily got worse. On the plus side our last trip out we headed a few miles offshore and the lads caught 19 Rays to 10lb 8oz, Dogfish, Whiting and Dabs.
In the next few weeks the Rays will be back in the Mersey in big numbers and hopefully a spring run of Cod will follow them for the charter boats who fish there all year around.
As a whole this winter season on the Mersey was very poor compared to the previous years, anglers where expecting 30 to 70 Cod per day but we where lucky to get 15 keepers per day. I would like to thank everyone who fished with us this winter season on the Mersey, even though the fishing was not the best my hard core regulars still kept booking trips and kept us 98% fully booked all season.
If you like to fish from a charter boat that is clean, well maintained, fast, very comfortable and with more deck space than the QE2 then Size Matters is the boat for you.
Here is a list of available dates sailing from Liverpool next winter. If you want weekends or midweek with good sailing times then you need to book early. I will update my calendar on my website and CBUK as soon as possible so you can see what dates are available.
Mersey trips are £45 per person this includes all tackle and hot drinks, duration is 9 to 10 hours depending on the lock times, bait is extra on the day if you need it.
Wrecking trips are £80 per person this includes all tackle and hot drinks.
Any tackle you lose you must pay for, duration is 11 to 12 hours.
23 hour Wrecking trips are £160 per person this includes all tackle and hot drinks.
Any tackle you lose you must pay for.
