Peter Carter and Ben Shaw booked Sea Urchin for the day today. With it being a big tide, the majority of the day would be spent on the rough ground around Whitby. That said, we took the opportunity to drop straight on a wreck close into the harbour when we set out, as slack water beckoned off the flood tide. We had a handful of Codling and Ling, but I felt that some of the tackle being used wasn’t quite up to the job.
Peter and Ben both agreed to switch over to braided mainline (instead of mono), heavier leads to hold bottom and we also got some whole squid mounted on muppet bait traces, instead of the really small Hokkai’s they started with. This set the tone for the day. Strong stout tackle usually wins the day at Whitby.
Once the Ebb tide got away, we moved out to some rough ground marks and started to pick away nicely. The banter between the boys was great, it was like abusive tennis as the insults went back and forth between each fish.
Peter secured ultimate bragging rights when he cranked up a nice 11lb Ling, which eclipsed the brace of 8’s that Ben had.
To be fair, it went a bit quiet in the afternoon when the wind spoiled things a bit, making the lines stream badly. But the boys persevered, taking a few more fish, before we headed back in. All in all, a great day out in great company.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl
