  Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

  Today I once again had the pleasure of The Keel Inn Fishing Club from Barnsley aboard. They came with a slightly depleted crew, with only five anglers able to make the trip this time, but they more than made up for it with the brilliant banter they have.
  
  After encouraging results yesterday and with ESE winds forecast for the afternoon, we had a chat and the lads were happy to run south to some wrecks in a similar area as the day before, which involved a bit of a steam, pushing tide. The sea was almost flat clam when we arrived at the first wreck and when three rods of the five went straight in I breathed a sigh of relief; there were a few feeding fish at home. Like the previous day, the stamp of mainly Ling was decent again.
  
  In fairly short order, “Chips” Mallin bumped two (or maybe the same) what he said felt like big fish. Next drift he was into another chunk as his Mackerel baited muppet trace was snaffled. After a slow but steady scrap I scooped up a nice Ling which weighed in at 16lb 14oz. Next drift, we had four fish on at once which resulted in a brace of 8lb Ling, an 11lb 13oz Cod for Tog Edwards and a 13lb 2oz Ling for Gaz Jones. It was like we could do no wrong!
  
  The wreck kept us entertained for a couple of hours and as the sport slowed a little, we had a run down another couple of miles to a nicely spread wreck. We were on the run into slack water, so the drift speed had slowed from 1.2knots down to 0.4knots. The wind blew us gently across the wreck and we got plagued with 3-4lb strap Ling every drift, which isn’t ideal as they don’t go back to the water very well after capture. Just as I was about to move us, Daz Tango hooked a slightly better one a smidge under double figures, but that was the best we got.
  
  Another chat, and we agreed to go and have the last hour on the same wreck that we started the day on, to see if we could get one of the monsters that Chips had lost off. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, but the lads got a couple of smaller Ling each drift to keep it interesting.
  
  For once; the weather was ok, the fishing wasn’t bad and the company was excellent. Thanks very much lads for a fantastic day out.
