    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Today was the first day out on Sea Urchin for almost a fortnight, after yet another spell of pants weather….

    Today saw a mixed group of anglers ready to have a go. With it being a weekend, we de-conflicted with the other boats, as to where we were all going and we ran out to a wreck at 12 miles to start the day. First drift through saw Stan Matthews’ rod go over and he winched up a nice double shot of Codling. We wrongly (as it turned out) thought we might fill up with a few fish, considering the early positive signs.

    We persevered with the wreck through slack and waited for the flood to come. We picked off another few fish, but reluctantly called it a day and moved on as the bites never increased on the change of tide.

    We tried another two wrecks for one small Haddock and a couple of Pouting. After that, we ran into the nine mile ground and spent the remainder of the day drifting the rough ground. We caught a few fish each drift for the remainder of the flood tide (Codling, Ling, Haddock, Whiting, Pouting), nothing to set the world on fire, but the action stopped once we lost the Flood tide.

    We ended what was for me, yet another disappointing day, on a wreck; but pleasingly, Gaz Townend managed to pull up a couple of Codling to end the day.

    I won’t try and and “dress up” another well below par day on Sea Urchin. I’m very grateful to the anglers who keep me going out to sea. I really hope the fishing improves soon and I can get on some fish.
