  Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

  Weekend catch report aboard Sea Urchin.
  
  We had the back end of the Spring Tides to work with the last two days; a 5.4m on Saturday and a 5.2m today. This was always going to present challenging fishing conditions, as almost the entire weekend would be spent drifting the various rough ground marks. We’ve been struggling to find many fish on the ground with the copious amounts of feed in the water, so it was a case of cross your fingers and hope for the best.
  
  Luckily there were rafts of Mackerel to get us started; one drift gave loads of bait for each of the days. We started of trying the three mile ground, but with the tide pushing the boat through at almost two knots, moved out to the five mile ground, which was also unproductive. Both days gave very slow starts with just a couple of fish boated by late morning. A move out to the nine mile ground gave us the best results.
  
  With us fishing the WCSA Autumn Festival, we were really looking for one big fish, and the lads understood that and credit to them, they all battled on both days. We found one patch which gave us fish on Saturday and today, so we spent a few hours there maximising it. Neil Fell-Edwards has fished with me for a couple of years and has been after a double figure Ling for that time. I was made up for him yesterday when he caught himself an 11lb 13oz fish giving him a new Pb. Well done Neil.
  
  Today the same ground gave us an even better result when on only his second boat fishing trip, Richard Szpijak hooked into what looked like the bottom. He just couldn’t move it with the light rod he was using……then I saw it “nod”! After confirming it was indeed a fish, Richard wrestled for about five minutes with what was obviously a very good fish. As he was fishing under the boat, we didn’t see the fish approaching, but then a massive head appeared and the body just kept on coming. After only two trips, he now has a new Pb Ling of 23lb 3oz!! When your luck’s in, it’s in!
  
  The fishing was hard all weekend and I really want to thanks the lads for being fantastic company and sticking with it, even when the lines were streaming and we weren’t getting anything. Well done lads.
