    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    The settled weather conditions continue, so we were back at it again today. With the Autumn Festival starting tomorrow, I took the opportunity to have a days fishing with seven of my regular anglers. Irrespective of the fishing, I knew it would be a brilliant day, with loads of banter.

    After yesterdays excellent results, we headed back to the six mile stream to try a few more wrecks. It was a real “pea souper” today, the fog never lifted, but the drift on the wrecks with the light winds was ideal. We gathered the Mackerel we needed for the day from the Bell Buoy, then headed to our first wreck.

    On arrival, everyone dropped over and before I could even get my own bait down; one, two, three, four then five rods were all into decent fish at once!! I ended up playing gillie and netted a succession of decent Ling to 10lb. What a great start!

    That wreck kept us entertained for a couple hours producing plenty of Ling for everyone between 6-10lb and then it was time for the Rob Waterworth show to start…. in the space of about 30 minutes Rob helped himself to a brace of Ling totalling 31lb 8oz!!

    First up was a real scrapper which tested his brand new Daiwa Super Kenzaki to the limit, pushing the scales round to 18lb 4oz and he followed it up with a 13lb 4oz fish shortly after. Both fell for muppet bait traces with a fresh Mackerel fillet on the hooks.

    I don’t actually recall a single drift all day where we didn’t catch. Like yesterday, the Codling were pretty scarce and we only took half a dozen or so for the day, but the Ling sport more than made up for it.

    The time simply flew by, which is always a sign of a great day in great company. A massive thanks to the boys for one of my most enjoyable days…..
