    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    What a cracking day out we had today.

    I’ve been gagging to get a couple of days fishing in for myself; having not fished since last November. With just Tony and Arkadiusz on board, we had plenty of space. The inshore grounds have done a better stamp of Codling for us since Christmas, so we headed out uptiding in yet another stunning sunrise.

    First stop in 20m of water on the Ebb tide saw a bite every drop and we started to pick away nicely. Quite a few of the fish were on the smaller side, but it was nice to get consistent action. Squid and Black Lug cocktails were doing the business as usual. As we lost the tide the action slowed a little, so we chose to have a move, to wait for the flood tide to get away. Interestingly, we picked off a fair few fish through slack water today, and once the Flood Tide got away, things really kicked off.

    We were getting bites within a couple of minutes of dropping down and catching well. Then it happened….. Arkadiusz looked like he was stuck on the bottom, then we saw a couple of heavy “nods”. The fish used the tide to its advantage and made it hard work to gain any line, but after a great scrap, we slipped the net under a lovely clean 17lb 8oz Cod.

    Arkadiusz travelled from Birmingham and was on his first ever boat trip, had never done uptiding before, and by his own admission was a complete novice. However; he took on board all the advice the Tony and I gave him and had a pretty special fish first go. How’s Yer’ Luck!!

    A thoroughly enjoyable day with great weather, great fish and great company. Looking forward to my next day off!!
