Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl
After a two and a half week break for rubbish weather, we finally managed to get a run out today.

The weather has certainly stirred things up and the sea temperature has dropped significantly. Mark Johnson had the boat booked today for him and three friends. With it being a 5.3m tide, it was spot on for a days Uptiding.
We ran south a few miles to start off, pushing the last couple of hours of the Ebb Tide. First drop of the anchor saw a few small Codling come up, but after an initial few fish, it quietened off. We gave it half an hour then repositioned. We had a similar result there as well, with a few fish straight away, then it slowed down. The wind then decided to lift a bit and we were swinging on the anchor which was very frustrating, as it makes the fishing much more difficult.
We had a quiet hour as slack water approached, the boat swinging all over. Just as the Flood Tide came through, the bites started again. Multiple bites and fair few fish came up. Nothing massive, but a 5lb 8oz Codling was great to see.
Baits for the day were Squid, Black Lug, Scallops and Crab Cart. Squid and Blacks or just Blacks did the lionshare of the bites. Mark Johnson was top rod and his “pimped up” (with a bait additive) Black Lug did the most bites.
It wasn’t as prolific a day as I had hoped for, but the lads are brilliant company and before we knew it, it was time to head in. I had a really enjoyable day spent in great company. Thanks boys.
With some settled weather, I’ve got some spaces available on Monday and Tuesday if anyone fancies a day out.UPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Sea Urchin IIl
