    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Weekend fishing report aboard Sea Urchin.

    Saturday was one of those days that I really didn’t fancy taking people out in. Moderate westerlies hampered where we could fish (most of the day was spent fishing under the cliffs). However, Colin Clarke from Grantham had his annual mates trip booked and really wanted to go out and try, regardless.

    We ran up north and spent much of the morning drifting the Uptiding grounds from Upgang up to Staithes. Periodically we found pockets of small Codling which mostly fell to baited feathers, small Hokkai’s or Sabiki’s.
    At slack water we pushed out to a wreck a mile off land, and with the lines streaming, we picked up a few more fish. The biggest Codling of the day came just as the Ebb tide got away at 6lb 2oz. It was hard work, but everyone caught.

    Today saw much lighter winds, so we pushed out a bit, concentrating mainly on the rough ground and wrecks in the 3-5 mile stream. We had a couple of drops for Mackerel, and finally got a good few strings coming up; bait sorted.

    The flood tide wasn’t too bad, with a nice picking of Codling and strap Ling coming to Hokkai’s baited with Mackerel and Squid or bait traces. We had to endure a lot of tangles every drift (not using enough lead) and most fish came up tangled in someone else’s line, which cost us a lot of fishing time during the day. Top rod by some margin was Tony Firman who put together a really decent bag of fish; a very tidy angler indeed.

    Everyone got a few to take home, and it was a nice day out overall. Thanks lads.
