    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today I had a group of experienced anglers aboard who were keen to try the inshore uptiding grounds. It was the first attempt we’ve had this winter and the water hasn’t had a good stir up yet, so it was a bit of an unknown entity.

    With moderate South Westerly winds and a 5.4m tide, we would be tucking in close to the cliffs to get in the lee of the wind. We headed north up the coast and first stop was a nice rough area at 3 miles. Once we got the anchor set I went below to make everyone a brew. When I returned five minutes there were three Codling on board already!! Gaz Townend taking a beautiful, clean 4lb fish first cast.

    Everyone got off the mark at the first stop, but it quietened after an hour, so a move further up the coast was in order. We had a similar result again, with a flurry of quick fish, this time Ian Kellock taking a mint 5lb Codling amongst the other fish boated. The fish all fell for cocktail baits of either Squid, Black Lug or Crab Cart. We moved a total of four times today, with only one spot being unproductive. Si England was top rod, with a nice box of ten Codling to 6lb to take home, plus some throwbacks.

    The fishing conditions were far from perfect today, but there was plenty of bites and plenty of chat all day, making it really enjoyable. Evidently, there are also plenty of fish knocking around, so it might be worth reconsidering hanging up the rods for the winter and having a run out.

    Well done today guy’s, some good angling on display
