    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    They say that a picture paints a thousand words……..don’t be fooled is my advice! Whilst there were some lovely clean fish caught over the last two days, the fishing has been rock hard and the quantity of fish caught has been poor.

    After a reasonable days sport on Saturday, I hoped for something similar on Sundaonday. For whatever reason, it just didn’t materialise that way.
    We kept on the move, had decent bait, fished with the right gear, but the fish just weren’t feeding well. Each stop would see a few bites/fish on arrival, but there seemed to be no flushes of fish moving through and it just died off.

    The weather and sea conditions weren’t perfect, but there were decent periods both days, where it was spot on. We just didn’t seem to be able to string together a decent run of bites. No bait was best, the fish that we caught came to the usual suspects of. Squid, Lug and/or Cart randomly. I found it very frustrating, so I’m sure the anglers must have as well.

    Over the two days, Ian Kellock took the biggest Codling at 6lb 8oz and Dave Sharp had a surprise Pollock of 5lb 12oz first drop at a new spot today. We’ve got to take the rough with the smooth and I know it’s a cliche, but “it’s called fishing, not catching”.

    I’m grateful to all the lads who’ve been out with us and I really wish I could have produced more productive trips. That said, everyone was excellent company and the chat and banter made the days go too quickly. Thanks a lot.

    Hopefully the fishing will improve again soon and give us more consistent sport.

    Tight Lines

    Andy
