    Report on-board Sea Urchin IIl

    Here is a report from last week as I said in one earlier post the algal bloom had got worse on some days and only when a clear area was found did we do well, on Thursday last week we had a small group of different anglers Clint and Chris were regulars from Chesterfield another two nice blokes who were hire rods sorry i forgot your names lads and one memorable angler called Ian who was new to me and my boat who turned out to be a treat to watch as he caught fish after fish mainly bait fishing on the back corner he seemed to have a gift for knowing exactly when to strike, I watched him and thought he was very good after the first drift, by the end of the day I was convinced,

    Friday was plagued with bloom and everyone struggled to find fish but everyone did take a fry home, Saturday I had a split group John Dixon came with some competent angler mates and I had another seven who had never been to sea before it's always difficult to try and please everyone with mixed abilities especially when the tides were good for working the wrecks and as the ground fishing had not really kicked in we had no other option John and his mates were real helpful with the novices and never lost there rag with the constant tangles and helping with wreck break outs thanks lads,

    Sunday I had another group of mostly hire rods and newbies to sea fishing again from Chesterfield a great set of blokes who had a good day with plenty of fish to take back home
    the real star of the day was a young lad called Lyndon who listened to every word I said and out fished everyone on the jelly worm, I get so much fun helping yong people catch fish the buzz is written all over there faces and no computer game in the world gives kids the joy of going on a boat to sea catching your first fish taking it home for mum to cook ahhh simple pleasures like this makes me smile inside, you can see Lyndon along with the other anglers on the video compilation at the end of this post

    Monday I had Paul from Leeds who organised a corporate day for himself and his co workers apart from Paul all novices the weather was fab when I awoke around 5am by 7am it had turned north easterly with strong wind warnings I explained this and said we would have a look out in the bay and caught mackerel straight from the off then the weather totally changed and by 10am it was flat calm and sunny so off to some inshore wrecks and ground with nothing doing I came back hard in further up the coast and hit plenty of good marks in around 50 foot of water all fresh codling's around 4/5lb great stuff all on baited feathers so with plenty of cod and mackerel collies they were headed back to York and Leeds with a barbie on the cards
