    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Weekend catch report aboard Sea Urchin……

    We’ve got Spring tides at the moment with both days having just over 5m tides. This would mean that the majority of the days would be spent drifting rough ground and then maybe a chance at a wreck or two at slack water.

    Saturday saw Aidy Broddle and a group of mates book the boat. We headed out to try and get a few Mackerel for bait, but failed miserably, with only half a dozen caught. We had plenty of Squid, so it wasn’t an issue.
    Starting off on the five mile ground, we picked up a few small fish, then moved to a nearby wreck as the Flood Tide eased. The wrecks were covered in feed and we only managed a handful of fish off the three we tried. Kev Cook taking the biggest with a Ling just over 9lb.

    Once the Ebb came through, we ran out to the seven mile ground and there were a fair few fish about to keep the rods going. We had a good drift line allowing us to run along one of the ridges perfectly and we caught a mix of mainly Haddock and Codling. The stamp of Haddock wasn’t bad at all, but the lads sportingly put them all back. Everyone was in great spirits all day, and although the fishing wasn’t amazing, it was a day spent in great company. Look forward to seeing you again next year lads.

    Today saw much more challenging weather conditions. The fresh Westerly winds made the first three hours a bit sloppy. We tried for a few Mackerel again and after the first area was devoid, we had a short move and thankfully everyone caught plenty. With the winds making the lines stream, the wrecks were never an option today. Once the drift slowed at slack water (the lines were still streaming, so you can’t fish wrecks properly), we tried a couple of prominent features on the rough ground.

    As the Ebb tide got away we had a nice spell picking up a few better Ling in the 5-6lb range and Adrian took the biggest of the day at 9lb 12oz. We kept on the move for the rest of the day, with a move out to nine miles being a bit slow, we dropped back into seven to end with a couple of better sized Codling.

    As expected, it wasn’t easy today, but despite the conditions, we still managed to find a few. Thanks lads.
