    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    It was great to get a day out with some of my regular anglers after a week off with poor weather.

    The inshore grounds and wrecks were pretty quiet for us last week, so today the weather conditions allowed us to get out to some wrecks in the 20 mile stream. I say wrecks…..but in the end we actually stayed on the same one all day!

    Having experienced anglers on board was a great help, as it allows me to make better decisions on whether to move on or not. With the group on board today, if there were fish to be had, they would get them.
    We arrived just as the Flood tide got away and with the wind holding us up on the drift, we tiptoed across, which was perfect for this “chewy” wreck.

    Four Codling on the first run was a great relief and we then proceeded to take 4-6 fish a drift for the remainder of the tide. Tony Barrett could do no wrong today and at dinnertime he’d had only one drift when he didn’t pick up a fish or two. The stamp of fish was pretty decent with Tony having three over 6lb, the biggest being 6lb 15oz.

    Everyone got fish today; the dominant tactic was muppet bait traces, but Dave Makin took Codling to 6lb 4oz on Shads, which was good to see. As the tide eased into slack a few Pouting and Ling came up and unfortunately Dave Sharp and Ian Steadman both had good fish make it back into the scrap which was a shame. The ones that got away…….

    The day flew by for me with loads of chat and mickey taking going on amongst the lads. We headed back to Whitby just before the Ebb tide got going.

    Thanks for a brilliant day out lads. I thoroughly enjoyed your company.
