    Report on-board Sea Urchin III

    All the lads got completely “Wrecked” today……….With it being a really small tide with light SW winds, we took the opportunity to go out and have a look on a few wrecks.

    We haven’t been out wrecking for a couple of months, as the conditions haven’t been right to do it. Today was different; so all the lads on board were keen to get going. We started off at a wreck in the 10 mile stream, and as I set up the first drift, I had my fingers crossed, hoping we weren’t wasting our time. Although the drift line wasn’t quite what I expected, we still managed three Codling. It looked like there were a few fish at home!

    We fished away for the next couple of hours, taking 3-5 fish a drift. Jimmy Yeung took the biggest Codling just over 8lb and Mark Ward took a cracking 9lb Ling amongst the other decent fish landed. A seal turned up and it went a bit quiet, so we moved on.

    Next wreck and we were straight back in action. The wind and tide were against each other and the drift speed was very slow. We literally tiptoed across the wreck. It was perfect conditions…..This wreck was a little larger and appeared to have plenty of fish on it. Each drift saw a good stamp of 5-7 Codling coming up. Highlights were Mirek Marczyk helping himself to a 9lb Codling and an 8lb Ling, before snapping his rod on a Pouting!!!
    The boys were catching on muppet bait traces and Hokkai’s baited with combinations of Squid, Mackerel, Mussel, Lug and with the water pretty clear, the Shads were also working well.

    We opted to have one last move and we had a similar result. Plenty of quality Codling……. We only had one throwback all day! Mario Marczyk took a lovely double shot, with an 8lb Codling and a 5lb Codling. It took a bit of dragging up!

    All in all it was a brilliant day out. The lads fished well, caught well and made it one to remember for me.

    Thanks lads, see you back on board again soon.
