  Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

  After some moderate Northerlies over the bank holiday weekend, I wasn’t 100% convinced about having a run out today.
  
  A group of lads from the Civil Service Sports Club had come from far and wide and booked the boat for the day to have a Species Hunt and with them already being in Whitby, we obviously decided to give it a go.
  Today wasn’t about trying to catch the usual suspects of just Cod and Ling. Each fish caught was recorded and allocated points. The more species of fish caught; the more points gained. Most points overall would be declared the winner.
  
  We set off with a short run to some rough ground around some wrecks at three miles to get the day going. I didn’t know if the water would be clear enough after the weekend, but surprisingly, it wasn’t too bad. The lads got stuck straight in and started picking up plenty of fish each drift, keeping me busy recording them. We drifted the ground for a couple of hours and everyone started to build their scoresheet up. This style of fishing requires good preparation to excel. Lots of rigs pre-tied, some with beads, some with bling, some looking more like Christmas Trees! It was brilliant to see so many different tactics being used. These boys knew their stuff…
  
  Throughout the course of the day, we tried fishing hard inside, three miles, five miles and then a couple of wrecks to finish. As expected, hard inside wasn’t very good, but we caught consistently everywhere else. Nothing enormous was landed, but that wasn’t the aim of the day. A 10lb Cod scored the same points as a 10oz Codling.
  
  Having recorded all the fish, I knew it was fairly close between John Wright and Andy Kaczmarczyk, and while organiser Gareth totted things up on the way back in, it turned out that they actually drew, with 175 points each, which is pretty rare in this kind of event.
  
  To put a few stats on the day…. Total fish landed between the eight anglers was 240 fish, consisting of 14 different species. Codling, Ling, Haddock, Pollock, Coalfish, Mackerel, Plaice, Dab, Gurnard, Scorpion Fish, Wrasse, Whiting, Pouting & Poor Cod.
  
  I love these type of days and the lads were all fantastic company. Well done lads, brilliant angling
