    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    We’ve managed a couple of days out recently after a week of big Spring tides. Friday was still on the large side with a 5.5m, but I had a group of lads who were still keen to have a go.

    After a frustrating time collecting a few Mackerel, we had a couple of drifts on the three and five mile ground for very little return. Nudging out a bit further we had a few small Codling off the seven mile, but it was very hard going. We dropped back inside a couple of miles to try some wrecks around slack water. The first one saw us catch nothing and thankfully the second one we managed to get a few. Neil Swallow and my son Will had a couple of 5lb Codling, which lifted the spirits after a hard morning.

    Once the tide was away we pushed out to the nine mile ground and spent the remainder of the day out there, taking odd fish here and there. It was hard work all day, but everyone persevered and kept at it.

    Today the tides were down to 4.8m so a bit more manageable. We had an early start to get a go on a couple of inshore wrecks at slack water. The first was very quiet but we managed a few strap Ling off the second one.
    With the tide away we tried the ground again, but I just got fed up with it. 3, 5 & 7 miles did a few small fish, but I couldn’t see things turning around, so put Plan B into action.

    We pushed out twelve miles to have a go on an offshore wreck for a couple of hours. It was a high risk option, but thankfully there were a few fish at home when we got there. With the tide still running it was mainly 3-4 Codling a drift to the muppet bait traces. Once it eased a bit, the Ling came on the feed, and we took a few every drift.

    Jamie Britton took the biggest of the day with a nice plump Ling of 16lb and Shane Ingram had the biggest Cod at 6lb. It turned out to be a good move in the end as everyone got a fish or two.

    Thanks to all the lads who joined us; two great days of chat and laughs which I thoroughly enjoyed.
