    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today was a case of eat, sleep, repeat…..with another full day on the inshore wrecks with an excellent bunch of anglers.

    We headed out at 6:30am and stopped for a Mackerel Bash at the bell buoy, but that didn’t quite go to plan. We got a few, but wanted more for bait for the day; so had to run off a couple of miles to try and track down a few more. It looked like the SE blow up yesterday afternoon pushed them around a bit.

    We finally got stuck into some wreck fishing, with the first one being just off the 3 mile ground. It lays at a funny angle, which usually means you drift across it, rather than along it. This isn’t a problem in itself, but just means the drifts are quite short. As it turned out, this didn’t matter one bit. We took five nice Codling on the first drift, with the biggest falling to John Talbot (Senior) at 8lb! We picked away nicely for the next hour, taking a few Codling each drift, to get everyone off the mark.

    For the remainder of the morning we kept on the move and took fish off all the wrecks; some more than others. There was quite a bit of Shadding going on today, and they (Rhubarb & Custard in particular) accounted for plenty of Codling and a few small Pollock, the biggest Codling at 7lb 4oz to Pete Wortley.

    As we ran into slack water, a few small Ling made an appearance amongst the Codling. We only managed a few, with a 6lb fish being the best. Once the flood tide came through, the fishing really tailed off quickly, just like the previous day. We had a slow couple of hours in the afternoon, before heading back in to Whitby.

    All in all, it wasn’t a bad day to be fair. The lads all fished well and got a decent result; well done everyone.
