    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Well that didn’t turn out quite how I expected!

    A lovely bunch of boys on board today, who I know very well. They’re all decent anglers and know how to go about it. Another small tide and light winds forecast, meant another day on the inshore wrecks.

    We gathered some fresh Mackerel for bait and started a day’s wreck hopping. Throughout the morning, some wrecks were better than others, but we were putting together a nice picking of fish. Carl Madin went on the black and red Jellyworms and had a nice brace of Pollock to 6lb in fairly short order. The bait traces and muppets dominated as usual, with Mackerel being the most consistent bait today. With Ling to just over 8lb and Codling over 6lb, it was a nice steady morning, with everyone taking a few for the pan.

    Unfortunately, just after dinner, the SE wind started to lift and white caps appeared on the waves very quickly. This really spoiled the drift and made the fishing conditions very difficult. Effectively it killed the fishing stone dead, and we caught very little for a couple of hours. I took the decision to cut the fishing short today, so we ran back up to Whitby and caught a few fresh mackerel to take home. It was a bit of a disappointing end to a day which started off so well.

    Thanks to everyone for a lovely day out as usual and a special thank you to Alan for the amazing Chinese food; which he brings for me on every trip he’s on. An absolute legend of a man.
