    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Tony Barrett had a threesome and Ken Wood was the “Star” of the show……...

    It was a mates trip today and one of the ones where I can relax and fish all day. I really look forward to them, as they’re always a great laugh in great company. We ran North a few miles towards Kettleness to start with today. The forecast was for very light winds and shock horror, they got it wrong……again. It wasn’t bad, but certainly more than we expected.

    Everyone got stuck straight in with a few Codling under our belts, but nothing massive made an appearance. For some reason, we kept catching quite a few Starfish and Ken Wood was “top rod”with three of them!!
    We considered a move but the bite pattern was similar as the day before, with a quiet spell, then another flush of fish. Martin Novo proved it was worth staying when he pulled up a nice plump five pounder and Ken had one a shade smaller.

    We ran a bit further up towards Port Mulgrave just before we started to lose the tide. The action here was instant, with loads of bites for the last hour of the Ebb. Slack water was the usual pants affair, then the wind lifted on the turn of tide.

    We took the option to run back towards Whitby and finished the day there. Not long after dropping down, Tony Barrett had a double take and pulled up a Hat-trick; two Codling on one trace and one better fish on the other.
    It was a brilliant day as usual and there was loads of banter. Tony Barrett slipped a Starfish onto Ken’s shoulder without him knowing…..hence the Star of the Show! Usual baits of Squid and Lug did the bites, although we had a few fish on Pink Hokkai’s just as the tide eased into slack.

    Thanks lads, looking forward to the next trip.
