    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    It was fantastic to get back out to sea today.

    Gary Grantham and five friends had the boat booked for the day and they’re always excellent company a decent anglers to boot. With it being a small neap tide we ran out to a patch of rough ground to try and catch a few fresh Mackerel to supplement the Squid. After around 30 minutes we only had 20 or so, but couldn’t afford to waste any more time……we had some “wreck hopping” to do!

    We opted to push the tide and try some wrecks south of Whitby which I always enjoy fishing, especially when they’ve not been pressured too much recently. The first one we fished, everyone went over with the usual muppet traces baited with Squid and/or Mackerel. We had a reasonable start taking five fish the first drift and the same again the second. Along with a couple of strap Ling there was a reasonable stamp of Codling with almost all them being 4lb - 5lb and no chuck backs.

    This wreck kept us entertained right the way through slack water before sport slowed a little. With plenty to go at nearby, we moved on to try another; caught a few, then moved on again. The pattern for the day was set, and on the turn of tide the breeze eased off giving us a cracking drift line. The lads all fished brilliantly and as the day progressed, the stamp of Ling improved and we managed to take plenty in the 5-7lb range along with half a dozen low doubles. Gordon Blyth was “Top Rod” today and put together an 18 fish box of Cod and Ling plus a few throwbacks. But everyone got in on the action which is what it’s all about.

    It was one of those days where if we couldn’t get a few with the excellent tide, weather and sea conditions it would have been a bad job. But the boys didn’t disappoint with some solid angling and great banter. Thanks lads for a great day out.
