    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    With the building tides going over 5m today, but light winds forecast; we had a much sloppier start to the day than I’d hoped for. The NW breeze really spoilt things. We struggled for over an hour to get enough fresh mackerel for bait for the day, then had a few drifts on the rough ground at three miles as the wind was holding us up on the drift.

    After half a dozen drifts with only a few small fish coming up, we moved out to the five mile ground. The drift was slow enough for us to try a couple of wrecks and the wind began to fall away on the run in to slack water. We fished two wrecks for a handful of small Codling, the best going 4lb or so.

    As the Flood Tide came through, we ran out a couple of miles to try some more ground marks. As the tide grew we had a few productive drifts. Martin Novo and Bryan Stanton had 13lb and 14lb respectively on the same drift with a couple in the 7-9lb class boated as well by some of the other lads. Next drift, Chris Chatham also took a 13lb Ling and a couple of other 6-8lb fish came up to keep it company. After a hard morning, it was nice to get a few, but unfortunately it was shortlived.

    Once the Flood Tide got away properly, we were up to 1.5knots on the drift and the sport died off. We plugged away for the remainder of the afternoon, but once again, it was another hard day at sea, with very few fish caught. Despite the mediocre fishing, I’d like to say a massive thank you to all the lads for the positivity and great chats all day.

    Thanks very much for coming, I really enjoyed your company and hope I can deliver a more productive trip next time
