    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today was one of my own fishing days with five friends aboard. Having looked at the forecast, we decided to have a bit of a later start, as there looked to be a fresh breeze against tide first thing.

    We all met at 0900hrs and were away shortly after to look for some fresh Mackerel. Unfortunately that didn’t go so well, with us only picking up a handful between us. Everyone had squid to use as well, so we dropped onto the first wreck of the day. I wasn’t too optimistic as the water looked quite green and with nothing much doing after twenty minutes or so, I moved us further out to a wreck in the five mile stream.

    Water clarity looked a bit better and we spent the next hour taking two or three fish a drift. Nothing massive; Dave Sharp taking a Ling around 9lb as the biggest. With everyone off the mark, we fished two more wrecks as the tide ran into slack water. The sport was steady, but not amazing.

    With having experienced anglers aboard, all the different tactics were tried. On the third wreck, we found the Shads worked well, with a number of nice Codling up to five pound falling prey. Although Tony Firman got a surprise when his Shad was snaffled up by a Squid!!

    As is usual, the Muppet bait traces loaded with either Mackerel or Squid provided some nice fish around slack water. Simon West caught consistently and then he got “rumbled” when we noticed he was slipping a Black Lugworm on as well as the usual baits!! Unfortunately he didn’t mange to land the seal which he played for fifteen minutes, while we ripped into him….

    It was a really, really enjoyable day and my own fishing days are something which I cherish. The banter was brutal, but hilarious in equal measure.

    Thanks for a brilliant day out lads, I needed that.
