    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    After running North yesterday, we chose to push tide and head South today, to see if there were any better fishing knocking about.

    After a twenty minute run, we had the anchor down, with the boat backed up to a nice gully with the tide Ebbing. I’d just taken the orders for the first round of brews and there were three Codling aboard before I’d even made them!In comparison to yesterday, we had a nice start today. There were plenty of positive bites, not so many tentative nibbles. Everyone got off the mark fairly quickly and the fish were taking most baits. Squid, Lug, Cart all mixed together was a winner.

    The first spot produced fish for a couple of hours, with regular flushes moving through. Andy Townend, out on his first trip of the year, took the biggest Cod at 8lb 8oz which was great to see.

    We did have a nudge a bit further south, but the stamp of fish was much smaller and not so many of them, so we moved back to our original area for the last hour of the Ebb. Initially it did a few bites, but then the breeze freshened as the tide slackened and we had 45 minutes of swinging around on the anchor. It was brew time!

    We ran further North through slack water to get the first bit of Flood and with a fresh wind against tide I feared the worst. Thankfully, I needn’t have worried. Once the tide came through, the bites started up again and the wind backed off. In amongst the Codling, Gaz Townend took a rare (for us) Uptiding fish in the shape of a Ling around 4-5lb, which was the first one this winter.

    As usual, everyone was fantastic company and the day flew by for me. Thanks for coming lads, great having you all aboard.
