2009 round up
Looking back over the 2009 year overall it’s been a very good season for me and and the new boat sea urchin II, with a decent show in the Whitby fishing festival results board last year out of the four festivals we had 8 prize winners and third place overall in the winter festival not bad considering all the festival fish were caught within 10 mls of Whitby which proves you don’t have to steam miles to get amongst the prizes,
also last year the new sea urchin II produced plenty of cod the largest just over 18lb and the largest ling went over 24lb along with our biggest pouting over 2lb remember this is 2009 and not 1989 when fish were in abundance every ware, not many anglers can claim to have caught fish of this size last year me included, lets hope 2010 will prove to be even better than the last,
over the next few months I will be modifying the boat with the intention of giving anglers more comfort, I intend to add folding seating which can be used when steaming between fishing marks and quickly folded back when not needed alsoI will be raising the forward hand rail giving me the option when conditions are favaroble to allow anglers to fish down one side and across the stern of the boat without lines working under the keel, anyone who fishes on boats will know how uncomfortable this can be during big tides, I will also be changing the colour this year back to the old and familiar sea urchin orange below is a gallery of some of your best fish last year well done and thank you for your business
