    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    It was finally nice to be back at sea, with a small tide and a great bunch of lads today.

    Wrecking was to be the order of the day, with the inshore wrecks being the target. So we started off with a “Mackerel Bash” at the Bell Buoy to gather some fresh bait.

    The forecast was giving some moderate westerly wind in the morning, but early on it hadn’t materialised, so we dropped on a couple of wrecks on the run in to slack water. It was steady away, with two or three, mainly Codling a drift. Just as we lost the tide, the Ling started to come, but they were only small “straps” up to around 4lb. We plugged away, but on the turn of tide, the wind did lift and once the tide got going, they were almost together; so the drift speed got up to 1.3 knots. It was too much to fish the wrecks properly, so we ran back under the cliffs to get some shelter.

    The fishing wasn’t amazing close in, but Neil Fell-Edwards did catch his first fish on a Shad and his first Pollack at 5lb 12oz! As soon as the wind eased, we moved back into the wrecks. It was pretty much the same as before, with two or three fish a drift. Tony Firman fished really well today and took top rod with a dozen Codling to 6lb 8oz, and Paul Bradley took the biggest Codling at 7lb 8oz.

    It certainly wasn’t a red letter day, but I really enjoyed it, with a great atmosphere on board. We caught well when the conditions allowed.

    Well done everyone and thanks for a really enjoyable day out.
