    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    What a cracking day out…..with a cracking group of lads. Although it was a good wrecking tide, we had a brisk South Westerly forecast, so I felt there would be limited time on the wrecks (if any).

    I gave the anglers booked on, the option of coming through or not, as some anglers don’t seem to like fishing close in, under the cliffs; which is where we head to when the wind is off land. This affords us some protection from the elements and allow us to fish, when otherwise we would have to cancel a trip. Three lads decided to drop out, so we sailed with seven this morning.

    After getting a few Mackerel from the Bell Buoy, we ran south and had a stop on a nice piece of rough ground off Robin Hoods Bay. Baited Hokkai’s were dispatched and we had a couple of Codling each drift, nothing fantastic.
    We set off, heading further south, when I noticed the wind had backed off a little. It was an opportunity to have a look on a wreck, so we adjusted course and dropped on one nearby.

    The wreck gave us a good few Codling to 5lb on the run into slack water, 2-3 each drift kept things interesting. Muppet traces baited with squid or Mackerel landed them all. After the Flood tide came through, the wind lifted, so we ran back inside to finish the remainder of the day under the cliffs.

    It turned out to be a good move, with the area we settled on being very productive for the last three hours. Everyone caught well, with a good stamp of lovely clean 4-6lb Codling. Baited Hokkai’s did plenty of Codling, but Jason Sheilds was the star of the show today, clumping them on Shads. He put together a lovely box of quality Codling and threw back a good few as well.

    All in all, it was a brilliant day out and one which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks lads.
