    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    After a few days off with poor fishing/weather conditions, we went back for a look on Thursday and Friday (today) this week.

    With us being back on larger 5m tides, we spent Thursday chasing fish on the inshore wrecks and rough ground. A firm believer in telling it how it is; we struggled to put many fish aboard. We tried rough ground at five, seven and nine miles, along with some inshore wrecks.

    For whatever reason, the bites were hard to come by. Most drifts would see one or two fish come up, but nothing of any size. A wreck at nine miles provided some reasonable sport for an hour, which was the highlight of the day. Ian Kellock was top rod (no change there then!) with a dozen Codling to 4lb.

    With a similar tide today, I thought it best if we had a run off to some wrecks a bit further out. Arriving at the first wreck half an hour before slack water, with a mixed abilities group on board, some of the lads struggled to control their gear through what is a “chewy” wreck. That said, Keith McCance and Jim Lister got stuck straight in with a couple of Ling and Codling apiece to 6lb.

    Slack water itself was fairly unproductive, but as soon as the Ebb tide got away, “first timer” Joe Mould took the biggest fish of the day; a nice Ling at 13lb 8oz, much to the surprise of his mates. The second wreck we visited also produced well, in periods. Top rod for the day Keith McCance, took the biggest Codling at a smidge over 8lb along with a fair few others. A switch to baited Hokkai’s certainly brought about more bites on this wreck.

    Everyone persevered and everyone got themselves a few to take home. In terms of fishing, it wasn’t right up there as the best day out ever, but we kept on trying and picked away all day. Thanks to all the boys for a nice couple of days out.
