Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
27 Mar 2016 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
I think fishing means different things to everyone, it's not for me to judge who is right and who is wrong?? fishing is a personal sport and we all make personal choices, which I firmly believe that no one should try to push their believes on anyone else.
I remember many years ago, 60 years to be honest... ( I can't believe I am 64) it's like I am writing this through my granddads eyes...! but I was just 4 years old when my dad and granddad took me sea fishing, I can still remember the excitement I felt, with my rod in hand, my heart beating that little bit faster and couldn't wait to get my bait on the hook and my line wet.
Then there was the waiting... and the waiting,,,, and so on, but eventually, the rod tip moved..!! and it started bending rapidly and yes.!! there it was my first sea fish, a little Flounder, and from that day to this I have been hooked.
Now again, this is just my personal opinion, we have good years and not such good years with the fish stocks, and the weather all playing a part, but for me, all fish are special they all need catching, weather you fish for the pot, or purely for the sport of it as I do, (mainly due to the fact I don't like fish to eat) so for me it's the hunt, weather it is, a Cod, Smoothound , Tope, Mackerel, right down to the smaller species, whiting, dabs, Flounders, on very light tackle they are all good sport and good fun, and that's what I think is sometimes missing.... Fun.. sometimes it all gets a bit to serious.
You know, I still get that feeling inside at my age, as I did all those years ago when I first started fishing, the felling of excitement, and the anticipation of what I might catch, and that first cast of the day, which I know will be a great day...!!! and you know why?? coz I'm fishing.
Me and Nicola are blessed with the job we do, being paid to do the sport we love, it don't get better than that, weather the fish are big, or small. it's all just fishing, love it for what it is......I know sentimental old fool... well if that's what people think of me, then guilty as charged, but as soon as this dreadful Easter weather subsides, I will be out there..... baiting casting, and waiting, and hoping that rod tip, nods once again... what ever it may be.....
Thanks for reading ...... Tight lines, boys & girls..

Fishing Report by Kevin Wyatt
on Obsession (Mevagissey, Cornwall)

Report on-board Obsession
Good Friday 25th March saw Obsessions first trip from Brixham, Devon.
Ross from 'Spot on' charters decided to make it a two boat competition and put up a prize for the biggest fish caught on a lure so the two boats left Brixham ferry pontoon at 7am and we steamed out together in glorious sunshine and flat calm seas.
We fished the one wreck all day alongside Spot On and it was fantastic.
We had plenty of Pollock, a few ling and some pouting.
I am pleased to announce that 'Obsession' won the day with a fine ling of 25lb which won the weigh in on the pontoon at the end of the day, Spot On had some nice Pollock which took the second place.
All in all a great first day for myself and crew on Obsession.
Thanks to Ross for allowing me his time and help to show me the ropes and start me on the right track of catching fish.
If you want to book a place on Brixham's newest edition to the charter fleet and join Obsession, the massive 40ft charter boat then please call or txt Kev on 07964053347 View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Paul Smith
on Rapid Fisher (Poole, Dorset)
25 Mar 2016 by Paul Smith
Report on-board Rapid Fisher
Easter update.
Well as predicted strong winds for the rest of the easter holidays means Rapid Fisher tied to the moorings again but what a great day yesterday was (good Friday ) with a few Rapid fisher regulars.
We left poole Quay at 8:30 after a full saftey briefing and kettle on once I finished handing out the Hot cross buns we headed out into blue sky's and flat sea's.
The guys on deck were in good voice whilst sorting out the rigs for a days plaice fishing and frantically polishing their plaice spoons that had been buried in their tackle boxes for some time.
For a few hours the fishing was slow until the wind and tide turned and picked up then a charter skippers nightmare, one of the crew that has been with me quite a few times decided to go for a hire rod for the day and all was good right until his leg caught it and whooossshhh there she goes over the side and down to the bottom of the sea. Not a happy skipper.
15 minutes later we go back for another drift and MR Dependable and boat Regular Malcolm Nightingale shouts fish on and only pulls up the hire rod that went in earlier, Very happy skipper.
The fishing switched on at that moment and some nice plaice was landed. The area around us is a local hot spot as many boats were out enjoying a great day afloat, the plaice obliged putting smiles all round, and a good solitary flounder, also had a few pin whiting that Barry Atfield had but he was out fished buy his Dad Tony Atfield, Fish of the day went to Dave House with a lovely 3lb plaice.
Well that's about it for the week ahead looking at forecast, let's all hope that the weather calms down for next weekend as we head to the famous Shamble bank on Sunday for Turbot.
Some dates still available coming up and also Evening trips starting soon.

A good day for the time of year, weather and tide stopped us from getting out for the Blonde rays and Spurs, but still plenty of fish for everybody.
On the last drops I took the pool with an 8 pound.Thoraback, followed seconds later by a 6 and half pound Cod for George the codfather.
Cheers Rob, looking forward to the next one View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Bryan McNeil
on Kelley's Hero Charters (Gosport, Hampshire)
23 Mar 2016 by Bryan McNeil
Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
As usual a last minute booking (23rd March) due to a break in the weather did not disappoint with skipper Ian on Kelly's Hero.
An early season wreck fishing was the agenda for the day with Pollock being the main target and perhaps some early cod.
As usual Ian did not dissapoint putting us over 4 different wrecks that all produced good pollock up to 15lb with the only reason for moving being Ian is like a dog with a bone and would not stop searching for the first early cod.
We spent 12 hrs on the water with Ian only stopping once we had all run out of steam and the boxes were full not many skippers would put as many hours in as Ian. Mind you Dennis put in a few hours filleting bless him.
As usual tea/coffee was plentiful as was the usual banter onboard this very friendly boat.
I have been fishing with Ian for 3 years and he never fails to teach me something, either I'm a slow learner or Ian knows a lot, I think I know which one it is.
My recommendation is to always give the skipper a ring even at short notice and he will sort out a trip for you.
Thanks Ian yet again another great day.
