    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    I’ve done three trips since I last did a report and there is a good reason for that……The fishing has been far from brilliant for us and the fish we have been getting have been on the small side, with only a couple of fish over 5lb.

    We’ve currently got Northerly winds coming at us, but they haven’t been massive, so we’ve got a few trips in. The actual fishing conditions haven’t been perfect, with the anglers having to combat lines streaming a bit at certain points of the day.

    We’ve fished wrecks and rough ground, catching fish from both, but not in the numbers and size I hoped for. There are plenty of bites to be had on the rough ground from small Codling, Haddock and Ling but the better size fish just don’t seem to have arrived yet. A few “Scout” Mackerel also came off the 5 Mile ground.

    All methods are catching as the water clears out. Hokkai’s baited with Squid have dominated the rough ground and bait traces with Squid on the wrecks. Shads are catching plenty for the anglers who choose to use them from ground and wrecks.

    With the lack of decent fish, it’s a bit of a non-report, but I like to let everyone know what’s going on. As Del Trotter says..…..it’s not all Champagne and Skittles!! Tomorrow is another day and we always hope for a few decent fish.

    Thanks to all the anglers who have joined me for a day out, your support is greatly appreciated.
