    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    After a month lay off with poor weather, we’ve finally had a bit of respite. With nothing to go on (in terms of productive areas), yesterday we had a mixed day.

    With it being a small 4.4m tide, we started off on a wreck and then rough ground at nine miles. We picked up a few small Codling, but nothing like we had a few weeks before. We then ran back in to put the anchor down. Again, a handful of small Codling, then it just tailed right off. We optimistically tried an inshore wreck in the afternoon for absolutely nothing, which to be fair I expected at this time of year with the coloured water. The day was really hard work, but was spent in great company which always makes a difference.

    Today, with a building tide, and the exploits of the day before firmly in my mind, I opted to Uptide all day. We fished the last hour of the Ebb just off the Whitby Rock Top, and thankfully there were a few Codling moving through. Everyone got off the mark, and Steve Martin nicked a nice 4lb Codling before I’d even made the tea!

    Once we lost the tide we ran south to an area which had been productive in February. The flood came through and the fish started feeding. We moved once during the whole of the flood tide and picked away steadily. Nothing massive, but lovely clean fish, with the best Codling going 5lb.

    Most fish fell to Squid and Black Lug, but a couple surprisingly came to jelly-worms!! It quietened off as we lost the flood tide, so we ran back up to where we started and finished with some more nice Codling on the first flushes of the Ebb.

    Andras Pinti was Top Rod today, taking 14 nice Codling plus some throwbacks. Everyone got a few and the banter was fantastic. A really enjoyable day.

    Thanks for your excellent company boys.
