    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    With a group of very experienced anglers aboard, some decent weather and with a good tide for wrecking, we had all the ingredients for a cracking day out today……

    To start the day we managed to get all the fresh Mackerel we needed from the Bell Buoy, which was pleasing. After that we spent the rest of the day on the wrecks. The last of the Ebb Tide and Slack water weren’t particularly productive on the three wrecks we fished in that period. Although Ian Steadman literally caught on every drift, having a great start to the day. Taking Ling and Codling to 6lb.

    Once the flood tide came through, we ran further south and fished a few wrecks which don’t see as much attention, in the hope of finding a better sized fish. Muppet bait traces with either a whole fresh Mackerel fillet or Squid and Mackerel cocktail took the majority of the fish, although Hokkai’s still produced a fair few.

    The four wrecks we fished for the rest of the day weren’t too bad at all. Most drifts saw 2-4 fish come up. Proportionately, it was a 50/50 split between Ling and Codling. The average size of the fish wasn’t amazing, but we had a fair few in the 4-6lb class. Ian Kellock took the biggest Ling of the day at 8lb 4 oz and Neil Pickard the biggest Codling at 10lb 10oz. There were also a couple of Codling double shots, which are always good to see.

    Such was the banter and excellent company, all too soon it was time to head back in. Everyone had a few to take home today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of laughs and mickey taking. Thanks to all the lads for a fantastic day out.
