    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    This weekend has been a cracker for big cod, on Friday regular local lads Karl and Ken came out with a small group hoping for a few fish and a few personal best’s were well beaten, during the morning mostly small cod and ling were coming aboard and mid day things slowed down because of the size of the tides I guess, then the afternoon brought a second slack and with the sea urchin positioned over a favorite wreck of mine Ken was the first to hit into a fine cod around 12lbs each drift produced more cod around double figures, I then quickly moved the boat over another good wreck which likewise was producing good size cod the last fish of the day fell to Karl which was a personal best for him a cracking cod of 15lb which made his and my day as he only really took up sea fishing last year and has really put the effort in which finally paid off well done mate,
    Saturday was a similar day with another local group who were newcomers to my boat and had not been sea fishing for many many years fishing was similar to the previous day with the best times when the tide eased and in the afternoon things really picked up with double figure cod coming aboard now after relating the previous days tale of the 15lb cod one of the anglers Jim I think, hit into a really good fish and he was using one of my hire rods and reels I have started to guess quite acuratley to the size of fish an angler is winding in by the bend in the rod and I said to him take your time this is a nice fish ( in my head I put it around 13lb or so) and as it came up through the crystal clear water I thought good guess until I realised it was still 40 foot down as soon as it hit the surface I knew it was the biggest cod we had seen this year and on the new boat as well a record for the sea urchin and Jim just over 18lb on the boat scales
