    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Great to have another day out today. Having missed the last week for poor weather we had a crew of mainly less experienced Uptiders on board.

    As I’ve said before; I love helping people to catch fish, so that’s what we did quite a bit of today. Starting off with a short run North with the Ebb Tide, we had the anchor down and were fishing within 30 minutes of leaving the harbour. Half the lads were on my hire tackle, so we went through baiting up, feeling the lead down, paying off line etc.. Within 10 minutes we were away and the bites and Codling came fairly regularly for the remainder of the Ebb Tide.

    First time boat angler James Mayes took the biggest Codling at a fraction over 5lb. As we started to lose the tide, (as has been the way recently), the bites slowed right down. We took the opportunity to run a few miles further North to catch the first of the Flood Tide. Just as the first flush of the new tide started, we were back in the game.

    Pleasingly, there were plenty of bites today and they were fairly consistent across the boat. Almost every Codling was immaculate with a beautiful white belly in perfect nick. Usual suspects of Squid and Black Lugworm did the bites, although to be fair, as long as there was some squid on the hook, the fish would come and find it.

    Banter was excellent today and James Mayes getting his rod butt tapped (to simulate a bite) by his mate was hilarious to watch as he struck into nothing while being videoed!! Raimondas Zokas…..you’re a bad man!!

    Thanks for a brilliant day out lads….. It flew by
