There are many wrecks along the holderness coast and remembering all the names is hard so i give the silly names that i can remember easy
The SS Sotee (potato) is a wreck out to sea from Barmston road end
She ran aground and broke along time ago
the salvage crew removed what they could then blew her up as far as i know
Her cargo was explosives and whiskey, great combo no wonder she got into difficult
Today we met up at the car park for a day on the wreck
on arrival the conditions close in were swelly, but a great day with sun and further out flat calm conditions
we launched into the nice clean breakers and headed out to sea
the wreck is about 1 mile off shore but the person reading the GPS was reading it upside down because 2 mile out too sea we turned around and headed back toward the potato wreck
She lies on the sea bed in around 10 meters of water in several pieces
by the way my rig was and second rod i believe i was on top of the wheel house
We dropped the anchors and set about bait fishing over her
I drew 1st Blood with a coddling around 3 lb and then Neil with one around 4 lb
A few big flattys were had and a lot of whiting
The sun was strong and quite warming, very much like a summers day
we fished the tide all the ebb and then made our way back around 3 pm
some pics were taken in the car park and every one was happy not one person blanked
