    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    First day back out today after a 10 day lay off for Big Spring Tides and poor weather.

    We headed out this morning with a mixed group of lads, with the intention of fishing a few wrecks, as it was a 4.7m tide. After a bouncy exit through the pier ends on the Northerly swell, we set about catching some Mackerel for bait. First stop at 3 miles gave us loads for the day, which was good.

    With a hour to go of the Ebb we dropped onto a couple of the inshore wrecks. Most of the lads went in with muppet bait traces with Squid or Mackerel. We had a few fish, usually 1 or 2 a drift with David Kwapisz taking a nice early Codling of 5lb. We kept on the move for the remainder of the day, looking for a wreck that would give us a decent return. Unfortunately, we just kept picking up a handful of fish off the ones we tried.

    Once the Flood tide had run through, the drift speed increased dramatically and we ran onto some rough ground to end the day. It wasn’t sensational, but Jamie Britton and Don Wang both picked up a 7lb Cod and Ling apiece, within seconds of each other.

    Mackerel was the dominant bait today, but I found the lack of consistency frustrating. Everyone kept on trying all day and caught a few, but it certainly wasn’t sensational. Thanks to everyone who came for the day out, you were all excellent company.
