    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    We were back at it again today, but we changed the plan from the previous two days. Instead of running out to the 20 mile stream wrecks, the lads were keen to try a couple of the inshore ones and get more fishing time.

    We tried a small wreck first, just five miles from the pier ends. After three drifts, we had only three Codling and a couple of Pouting, so we moved on a couple of miles to a larger wreck. Pleasingly, over the next two hours we had some solid fishing, catching consistently and for the first time this year, slack water was also equally productive. Steve Martin, Neil Fell-Edwards and Keith McCance all took Codling over 5lb and we had a decent stamp overall.

    All the fish today came to the usual muppet bait traces with a whole squid mounted on the pennel hooks. Once the Flood Tide came through the rigs were getting stuck a bit more frequently, so we reluctantly moved on.

    We fished another three wrecks, but took only a handful of fish from them. Keith helped himself to the biggest fish of the day when the last wreck we fished produced a nice 9lb 8oz Ling. It wasn’t a “Red Letter” day by any stretch, but there are definite signs that the inshore waters are starting to clear out a bit.

    Can’t wait for some inshore “wreck hopping” once it clears out properly. Thanks to everyone today for some great company and solid fishing.
