    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    We had a belated Happy Christmas today, as Bob Nichols had booked the whole boat as a Christmas present for his Son-in-Law, Matt Collins.

    With there only being the four of them they had acres of room on deck. Three were very experienced wreck anglers and Matt was on his first fishing trip, using my hire tackle. We had a run off to the 20 mile area again, where the fishing has been pretty consistent of late.

    First stop and the experienced lads got stuck straight in. I went through the technique for drifting a wreck with Matt and away we went. The first wreck wasn’t heaving with fish, but the boys picked off a few Codling around the 3-4lb mark. After half an hour, we headed off to try another one. Good decision; as we stayed there for the next 3 hours picking off fish every drift.

    The biggest fish competition was touch and go until the “new boy” Matt pulled up a nice Codling of 6lb 5oz, which won him the trophy and bragging rights over the “old timers”!! Credit to Matt; he was a very fast learner and got things sussed quickly. We had a decent stamp of fish again, and the lads threw back the smaller 2-3lb fish, keeping a few better sized ones for dinner.

    Squid on bait traces dominated, although frozen Mackerel and Squid together did a fair few bites; as did Gummymacks.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the day, which was spent in great company. Thanks lads.
