    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Two day report aboard Sea Urchin. It’s been a weekend of two halves…..

    Saturday saw a lovely mixed group of anglers aboard. After a reasonable day on Friday, I pointed Sea Urchin south and ran back to the same area to see if the fish would oblige us again. With light SW winds, the conditions were lovely and the lads got stuck in with the usual baits of Squid, Black Lug and Crab Cart as the Ebb Tide was just nicely away. Barry Allcock had two Codling up before I’d even explained how to bait and cast to the anglers on hire tackle, which gave me some optimism for the day.

    Unfortunately, that was fairly short lived as after half a dozen fish, the action dried up. I nudged us further south to find a little more tide and we had a few more small Codling, but there were no flushes of fish moving through. Unfortunately, this was the pattern for the rest of the Ebb. Catch a few after a move and then sport dried up. I hoped the Flood tide might be better, but sadly, that was even worse. With the big Spring running through, we never even put up a fish for the last couple of hours. Everyone kept at it, but it wasn’t the day I hoped to deliver.

    Today was a similar day as Saturday…except that today the fish were feeding and bites were consistent throughout. We headed back to the same area that I favour at this time of year and Tony Firman had fish straight away whilst I got the six lads on hire tackle going. Colin Frankland and five friends had good bait, listened to the advice offered and caught steadily all day. There was always a rod top nodding somewhere on the boat and Codling came up regularly.

    Squid and Black Lug, Cart, Live Worm all did fish today. Nothing was a standout bait, as everything got a response. Tony Firman took the biggest at just over 6lb, which was a nice clean fish.
    Massive thanks to everyone for coming, you were excellent company. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
