    Report on-board Sea Urchin III

    Great day out today, with a great bunch of boys. It was the first 14hr trip of the year and thankfully the fishing wasn’t bad at all.

    Heading off just before 4am we got a cracking sunrise as we made our way out to fish some wrecks in the 20 mile area. We arrived at our first wreck an hour before slack water, just as the Ebb tide began to ease.
    First drift saw five rods into some lovely clean Codling, which set the pattern for the next hour. The average size was good, with a fair few fish over 6lb with Jim Lister taking the biggest Codling at a shade over 9lb.

    Just on slack water Sammy the Seal got up for breakfast and was clearly harvesting the bounty down there, as we saw him come up with two decent fish. It was no surprise that the action tailed off, so we moved on.

    Next wreck turned out to be even better, with eight rods in on the first drift! Again, some lovely Codling with a good average size. Jim Lister lead the way again, taking a fish a drift including a lovely clean 10lb 8oz Codling.
    Everyone took fish today, bait traces with Muppets and Squid dominated, but Simon West also got a good few Codling and a Pollock on Shads.

    The morning was certainly more productive than the afternoon, but we took fish off every wreck we visited, which was pleasing. Not too many Ling today, with a fish of around 5lb being the biggest. I really enjoyed today, let’s hope things continue in this pattern for the coming days as the tides ease.
