    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Apologies for missing catch reports over the weekend when I did actually go to sea, but quite frankly, I didn’t have much to report on.

    As I’ve mentioned before, I won’t fabricate and say it’s great when it isn’t. On both Saturday and Sunday the weather and tide were not in our favour. With it being 5m tide time again, we were mainly on the rough ground. When the wind and tide got together, our drift speed was up to 2 knots at times, which made the fishing tricky.

    Credit to every single angler; they all gave it their best and remained positive. We did catch fish over the weekend when the conditions went in our favour, but nothing of any size. Our biggest Ling of the weekend went to Juned Islam at 7lb and we had Codling to around 4lb. The fishing was far from exceptional, but that is the way it goes sometimes. I will always try my best to find some feeding fish.

    Today however, was a different story…. with a group of seven onboard, including “Clan McDonald”; father and son team Malc and Alan. Much lighter southerly winds gave us some great fishing conditions in the morning. We took advantage and dropped on a couple of wrecks while the drift speed allowed. We were taking 3-4 fish a drift, with some decent fish amongst them.

    I’m pleased to report that at a sprightly 83 years old, Malc was not only top rod, but he also caught the biggest fish of the day at 13lb 8oz! What a legend….

    We had plenty of fish in the morning and everyone took away a good few for the table. Thanks to everyone for a great day out in nice weather.
