  Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

  Wow…..it’s been hard to get out fishing recently. In September we managed a total of five days at sea, and October has started equally as rubbish.
  
  With a temporary lull in the pants weather, we did finally manage a day out yesterday. With a group of experienced anglers on board, I was optimistic that we might find a few fish, if they were feeding. Having not been out to sea for over a week, we had a tentative look for a few fresh Mackerel. Running out to the five mile ground, we did find Mackerel, but in the main, they were absolutely tiny. Strings of 4-6” fish came up, which was quite bazaar. In the end, we found enough to get us going.
  
  We had an hour or so drifting the five mile ground and initially we were getting plenty of bites, mainly from small Codling. Once the flood tide got away properly, the bites tailed off a bit. Keeping on the move, I took us into some ground at three miles, so we could drop onto some wrecks close by when the tide began to ease. The first couple of drifts didn’t produce much, but then the wind fell away a bit and the tide eased a smidge. It was like someone had flicked the fish feeding switch. All of a sudden; we had six rods in at once, and the boys wrestled up a fair few fish in the next hour. It was mainly Ling with the best fish around double figures, but lots of bites and a good few fish in the boxes.
  
  As slack approached, we went to a couple of wrecks, and had a few fish, but nothing exceptional. I called it early off the wrecks and went back to rough ground. We finished the day catching steadily. We caught plenty of Ling and Codling, but the size of the Codling was on the small side. Mike Lee was top rod for the day, and filled a box to the top with some cracking fish. It was a lovely day out with anglers who I’ve had to cancel too many times for bad weather this year.
  
  Thanks for coming boys.
