    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today saw a boat of mixed abilities on board. Half the anglers had never sea fished before and at the other end of the scale we had Sea Urchin regular Ian Kellock who’s been fishing since it was invented!!

    Having tracked down some Mackerel to supplement the squid bait, we chose to stay on the inshore wrecks as the water looked pretty clear. It proved to be a pretty consistent day. We caught fish on every wreck we visited, with at least a couple, most drifts. Mick Robershaw landed the biggest fish of the day, with a nice 12lb Ling, which would have won us the daily prize in the festival if Mick had entered. Danius made the long journey from Brighton and had a couple of quality Codling and a nice 6lb Pollock and the less experienced anglers picked a few fish up (in between vomiting)!!

    Inevitably, top rod for the day was Ian Kellock, who rattled out a mix of Ling and Codling to 8lb, ending with a dozen keepers plus half a dozen Ling he returned.
    Squid on a muppet bait trace was best for Cod and the Ling preferred the Mackerel. However, the biggest Ling fell for a tiny bait on a set of Hokkai’s (clearly didn’t read the rule book)!!

    The weather is looking settled for a few days now, so hopefully we’ll keep at it.
