    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today was the first day we’ve had a run off in quite a while. With the tides, just starting to lift, I thought it was the ideal opportunity to take a group of experienced anglers out to see if there were many fish around on some of the wrecks located further out.

    Gordon Blyth and six of his mates had the boat for the day. They all fish a lot and have their own boats, but every now and then, they like to let someone else do the driving! We opted for an earlier start, to allow us to get a few Mackerel and to travel to our first wreck and arrive at slack water. It seemed that the early start was worth the effort as the first wreck threw up quite a few Ling, including two over 13lb to Pete and Mark. It kept us happily entertained for an hour and a half, before we moved on.

    First drift on the second wreck saw half a dozen Codling and Haddock come up, with the best being a plump 8lb Codling, once again to Pete. We enjoyed another hour or so of consistent fishing here as well. The boys were fishing a variety of methods, Bait traces, Shads and Perks/Rippers all produced fish.

    The third an final wreck of the day turned out to be a bit of an anticlimax. We only managed a handful of fish to 6lb, but the boys just kept at it. When you’ve got the calibre of angler I had today on board, my job was pretty easy and very enjoyable.

    It was nice to see a few better sized Ling make an appearance, let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come, with the WCSA Autumn Festival just round the corner. A big thanks to the boys for a great day out. I really enjoyed the company.
