    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Great to be back out at sea today, after what I can only describe as a period of wobbly weather and Spring Tides.

    The tides are finally falling away and it should be back to a bit of wreck fishing again for a few days. With slack water only 30 minutes after we left the harbour this morning; instead of looking for the Mackerel, we dropped straight on a big wreck, using Squid on bait traces for hookbaits.

    The conditions were far from easy to start with, we had a Northerly wind whipping up a few troughs, which made bait presentation difficult. Despite the sea conditions, it turned out to be the right choice, as there were plenty of Codling waiting below, and they took the baits with merry abandon for a couple of hours. Most drifts saw 3-5 Codling and an odd strap Ling.

    Nobody took anything of any size, but there were plenty of fish in the 3-5lb bracket. Ian Steadman and Simon West took a fish almost every drift and showed what is achievable with good tackle control.
    We picked away on the next couple of wrecks, as the flood tide got away properly. Unfortunately, once the tide was at full speed, the bites really started to slow down.

    We kept on the move and took fish here and there, but the morning action was certainly better than the afternoon for us.

    A big thanks to all the boys for being great company. Hopefully see you all again soon.
