    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    We’ve seen the back of the Spring tides for now and today we were back in wrecking mode with a nice 4.8m tide and light winds. A lovely mixed group aboard, some more experienced than others, but everyone got on well, which always makes for a good day out.

    The Mackerel bash didn’t go too well, with just random single Mackerel coming up. I didn’t want to waste too much time, so we got cracking. Everyone brought Squid with them, so those who were short on Mackerel, still had bait. The first few wrecks weren’t brilliant. Just odd fish here and there. There were a lot of tangles to sort out every drift, as the boat twisted in the very light wind and tide, which cost us fishing time.

    After a couple of hours, everyone had got off the mark with a few fish and then the tide just started to ease on the run into slack water. Jamie Britton switched over from bait to a red Shad and got one or two nice Codling a drift. He was top rod today by some margin, giving a very solid display of angling. Reading the tide and wind situations well.

    Allan Knaggs is part of the furniture on Sea Urchin, having crewed many times over the years and today had a days fishing. He took half a dozen Ling to 8lb and the same of Codling. He rang the changes between muppet bait traces and shads and caught consistently.

    We fished another three wrecks for the day and there was a picking off each of them. Whilst we didn’t manage to catch anything huge, the biggest Cod of the day fell to Simon at 8lb 4oz, who fished mainly with the Slow-Pitch Jigs all day.

    All in all it was a very enjoyable day, thanks to all the lads for a great day out.
