    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    It’s been brilliant to finally string a few days together and great to see a few anglers today who I’ve cancelled countless times due to poor weather. We had a middle of the road tide today (4.8m) and it was destined to be a mixed day. Wrecks in the morning with the really light winds and then ground fishing in the afternoon if the South Easterly lifted.

    We started the day off chasing a few Mackerel. They’re here, but they’re still patchy. We tried three different spots but only took around 20 or so fish. That was enough of the day wasted, so we dropped onto the first wreck four miles from the pier ends. We had half a dozen drifts, taking fish every run through. But to be fair, the sport was similar to the last couple of days. Five to ten Codling/Ling from the wreck but nothing massive. After half an hour or so we moved on, and this formed the pattern for the remainder of the Ebb Tide. Pinch a few fish, then move on.

    With the lack of Mackerel, we didn’t get pestered by strap Ling too much, with the muppet traces baited with squid taking a majority Codling catch. We got absolutely hammered by Pouting today for one reason or another, with them either stripping the baits off or hanging themselves which was frustrating. Jamie Britton caught so many that I wished I’d brought him a keepnet (only kidding Jamie)!

    The sport dried up at slack water, which coincided with the South Easterly wind lifting and making the lines stream. We tried a couple more wrecks, but I thought it was futile and opted to run back to the rough ground at three miles to finish off the day. This actually didn’t turn out to be a bad move as we took some nice Codling and a few Ling to finish off the day on baited Hokkai’s.

    The fishing certainly wasn’t exceptional, but I’ve had a lot worse days. The company was fantastic with lots of laughs throughout, mostly at my expense; but I love a bit of banter!! Thanks lads.
