    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    “Life is like a box of chocolates”……… After a less productive day yesterday, we were back in business again today. With an experienced group of anglers on board, I was hopeful of finding a few fish. If they were there and feeding, the boys were sure to catch a few.

    We ran back out to the wrecks, where we have found the average size of the fish has been much better than on the inshore marks. First stop was a wreck at 12 miles, which has been productive for us of late. The boys dropped the rigs over and seven of the ten anglers were playing fish at the same time on the first drift….how’s yer’ luck!!

    After the initial carnage finished, we settled down for 3 hours of quality fishing. Most drifts saw between 3-5 fish landed, consisting of a handful of Ling up to 9lb, but mainly Codling in the 3-5lb bracket. Top rod for the day was Paul Mawson, who caught Codling consistently, including 2 double hook ups. His biggest fish was a beautifully clean 8lb cracker.

    As usual, squid on a pennel arrangement with a muppet on top did the majority of the fish (especially the bigger specimens); but baited Hokkai’s still caught a fair few. We did move inside to some other wrecks to pick off a few more Codling, but the strengthening wind stopped us from travelling further out. We’ll keep those wrecks in the bank for the next break in the weather.

    It was a thoroughly enjoyable day spent in great company, with great banter. Thanks boys.
