    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    With some big tides and poor weather coming, today turned out to be our last trip for what looks like a week or so.

    Sea Urchin regular, Alan and his crew had the boat for the day, which is always a good laugh. We had a stop at the Bell Buoy to gather some Mackerel for bait, then headed out on the Ebb tide to try a few wrecks. The first inshore wreck we tried produced just a solitary Codling (and a gazillion Mackerel). With a similar result on the second and third wreck, I began to think we were going to struggle.

    We ran a bit closer in, to one of the wrecks which is nicely spread out and not steep sided. Thankfully, the first drift on that wreck saw seven rods go in during the drift. All nice plump Codling, that fell to a mixture of baited Hokkai’s and Muppet bait traces. The fishing was consistent for the next couple of hours, right up to slack water at dinnertime. The fish weren’t enormous, mainly Codling to just over 5lb and a few Ling, the best going 9lb 12oz.

    As the flood tide came through, the Westerly wind lifted a bit, so we ran in close and spent the remainder of afternoon drifting rough ground back towards Whitby. Thankfully by this time, everyone had a few fish in the bag, so it was mostly Mackerel bashing to finish off with.

    Everyone was fantastic company and I was was pretty pleased with the result, considering the conditions. Well done everyone, some good angling on display today. See you in a couple of weeks.
