    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    With the bigger of the Spring tides out of the way, we had some nice conditions for Uptiding today. Onboard were a great group of lads of mixed angling experiences. From brand new, to Salty Sea Dog!

    Today we chose to use the last of the flood tide and ran a few miles south towards Robin Hoods Bay. We timed our arrival well, with the Ebb Tide just getting away nicely as we dropped anchor. This gave us a good few hours of consistent tide to fish. We ran through baiting up and casting with the lads that needed it and everyone was away. To be fair, the fishing wasn’t bad at all to start with. Plenty of bites from some hungry Codling. The size of the fish weren’t enormous, with quite a few throwbacks, but a few better ones amongst them up to 5lb 8oz.

    A couple of hours in, we had our first move as the bites had slowed down. Almost immediately after setting the anchor, fish were coming up again. This particular spot threw up a number of Pollock, which was unusual at this time of year. It seemed that there were a flurry of fish when the anchor first got dropped, then the bites petered out as time went on. This was pretty much the pattern for the day.

    The run into slack water wasn’t particularly good, and the bites didn’t start to come again in numbers, until the flood tide got away properly. It was really good to see the lads who were new to it getting a few fish. Richard Cunliffe in particular did really well, taking a nice bag of fish away.

    I always mention the most productive bait, but Uptiding at Whitby it is almost always the usual suspects. Squid and Black Lug cocktails ruled today #standard Tony Firman had a go with Crab Cart from time to time, but interestingly noticed no discernible difference in bites.

    There was some great banter on board, which always makes for a good day out. Well done lads and thanks for a lovely day out.
