    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Fantastic bunch of lads aboard Sea Urchin for a days Uptiding today. We’ve missed the last week with the poor weather and today was a 5.5m tide; the biggest of this set of Springs.

    We used the start of the Ebb to run a short distance north and put the anchor down off Sandsend. Everyone had plenty of decent bait with them and it didn’t take too long before a couple of fish made their way up.
    Ben Cope got off to a great start with a couple of plump Codling, the biggest being 4lb 8oz. Crab Cart and Squid being the successful combo. We had bites periodically for the next 90 minutes, with groups of fish running through. It wasn’t frantic by any means, but there were rods nodding regularly, showing signs of activity.

    I chose to head a bit further north, which in hindsight was a mistake. We tried two different spots on different depths, with different tidal speed, for next to nothing. We ran back south to the area we had started the day and picked up a few more fish on the run into slack water. Once we started to swing on the anchor we ran back towards Whitby through slack water and spent the afternoon just outside the pier ends.

    We took a few fish here and there but overall it wasn’t breathtaking sport; although it did pep up a bit for the last half an hour. The conversation and company on the other hand, were excellent, with loads of laughs��
    Best bait was Cart once again, but used in conjunction with Squid or Lug still did bites. We didn’t contact anything massive today, but unfortunately a few better fish managed to shake the hooks on the way up which was frustrating.

    Thanks to everyone for coming, I thoroughly enjoyed having you all aboard. Hopefully see you again soon.
