Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Went fishing yesterday, after what seems an eternity of cancelled trips..!!.
But we set off at 0600 so we had the maximum of wind and tide together...!! (the boy is a genius) Emm!! may be not..!!
We got down to one of our usual fishing marks off of Clacton, with all rods baited and cast in we waited... not long... dog fish, dog fish....ect ect Getting the idea..? then Whiting after whiting, but no Cod..!! we fished on boldly and tried every trick in the book, but to no avail, they were just having none of it.
After 3 hour of much the same, we pulled the anchor and headed 2 miles west and tried our luck there, well after about 25 minutes one of our anglers finally got a Codling 3lbs then more dogs and Whiting, so we decided to move back to the mouth of the river Blackwater, where two weeks ago we had some decent skate, so I thought, well it's not what we came for, but Thorn backs are better than just Whiting, and doggies???
We fished the mark for the first two hours of flood tide and boated 8 Thornback Rays, all but one went back..!! so after speaking to some of the other charter boats, one boat had 3 Codling, of which two were caught in the river, and one off of Clacton, and the other charter boat fishing off Clacton had no Codling, but fished up in the area where I was fishing and bagged a few Rays also.
I am sure this is just a glitch caused by inclement weather and the fish shoals are just broken up, and after a few days of calmer weather they will come together again as they did before this big storm "Barney" hit our shores..
Well we decided on the boat this morning not to go... so we had a nice cup of tea, and a chat with the boys who re-booked for the Christmas period.
We are out tomorrow (Sunday) so lets hope the fishing improves then...!!! but until then ........ Tight Lines View Boats Page

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The cod fishing was starting to come good then nature intervenes and thanks to Hurricane Barney we have had 2 weeks of severe winds where even the protection afforded by Poole Harbour has meant being tied up waiting for a weather window, in the meantime the tackle box is immaculate, new cod traces ready to go and a very tidy boat. When the winds drop I will be going to sea if you are free and would like to go Cod fishing then please call

Report on-board Silver Spray II
As you can imagine I haven't really got a whole lot to report about the last months activities except about the weather. Not sure I can remember a sustained period of high winds like this for such a long time. Although it finally looking like backing off to the north this weekend and then dying down. Despite all this though we have managed half a dozen trips over to the Isle of White for cod and whiting. Cod have been coming up every trip into the mid teens which is nice to see. As November pushes on, provided we can get out to them, we should start to see those 20lb+ fish. The whiting have made a great start as well, using mackerel baits 2/0 hooks around slack water we are getting plenty of them at the 2lb plus mark. Hopefully next month we have done a few more trips and will have more to chat about.

Fishing Report by LESTER BAKER
on Seawatch1 (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Nov 2015 by LESTER BAKER
Report on-board Seawatch1
October finished as it started and saw some nice catches of cod to seven pounds and Thornbacks to double figures,although most of my customers more interested in the codling.
The 1st and 2nd of November were flat calm with dense fog (the sort of weather we used to enjoy at this time of year) and then it was back to normal with some unsettled weather and severe winds courtesy of the jet stream and our Caribbean friends Abigail and Kate.It seems a long while since we went fishing,but the couple of trips we managed last week saw the fishing still the same with some nice codling being caught averaging 20 fish per trip along with the normal Ray's,dogfish and hordes of whiting.
Hopefully the weather will settle down and allow us to put a few trips together soon and start to clear the backlog of cancelled trips,2016 weekends looking busy already so don't leave your bookings to late or you may be disappointed.
All the best Lester View Boats Page

Report on-board High Flyer 2
This report covers the weekend of 14th/15th Nov 2016, a very windy day gusts of 54mph westerly today so hugged the shore both days as you can imagine. Lucky for us on west ,south west we can hide up under the cliffs so still able to get a day in . Only 3 boats out Sat no codling for any of us just whiting stealing all the baits, some spotty dogs of all sizes among them, few flatties over slack water and the odd pouting. Plenty of fish just the wrong sort. Sunday ended up much the same apart from the extremely windy conditions just 2 boats from Yarmouth were out today same old whiting all day, few better dogs as well, best fish of the day fell to Jeff Ball 6.3lb thornback ray pictured here ,nice to see probably about as the water temperature 13 degrees still! The other boat Seaquest had one cod only one today unfortunately need that cold weather to start coming in we are mid november for petes sake! Big thanks to everyone for the weekend especially Keith,Richard and Howard coming all the way from Brentwood, also Derek for organising everyone and Jeff for best fish of the day. Looking ahead to Tues 17th got few places left hopefully wind will drop give us a chance to get out a bit to have a look around further off until then tight lines everyone keep you all posted.
Cheers. Jon. (High Flyer) View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Les Jones
on White Maiden II (Lymington, Hampshire)
8 Nov 2015 by Les Jones
Report on-board White Maiden II
Lymington SAC sponsored by Lonis Angling Center on Sunday was fished by 66 entrants all hoping to get their hands on the £400 first prize for the single biggest Cod. We were restricted to the Solent due to Strong Winds from the South South West. The sea was comfortable throughout. Some boats found up to nine Cod. The England Boat team members fishing with me on White Maiden included Ray Baron, Matt Osborne, Martin Ash Currier and Current World Boat Champion Gary Galbraith. Note his world champ story can be found at http://www.anglingtrust.net/news.asp?section=926&itemid=2747. Gary was up-tiding and kicked off in form latching into a near double figure Cod early on. I thought we were in for a lot of fish. How wrong was I.... as the Cod stopped there for us. Gary weighed in third biggest for third place. Meanwhile Skipper Jeff Semple on 'Lazy Daze', fishing just to the East of us, cleaned up with a last minute 12lb Cod, added to one of Tim's Cod for a 19.5lb combined weight to take the pairs. Also Whacjker had 4th and Tim 5th biggest Cod. So between the two charter boats we had 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th biggest Cod caught on the day! Skipper John Skeggs on 'Last Laugh', just to the South of us, also did fantastically well again, for the best total boat weight of Cod caught on the day. Not sure that will happen again, as the dinghy boys will get their own back next year. Lee Price on his part share 20' boat/dinghy did very well and secured second place with his best Cod of a nine Cod and four Bass haul. Great competition again Lymington SAC with some good prizes put up by main Sponsor Lonis Angling Center's Garry Mann.
