Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
7 Nov 2015 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well yesterday (Saturday 7th Nov) was challenging to say the least...! when we left Bradwell at 0800 we had about 40 minutes of a dying if not dead 5.0 metre tide, so we took a slow ride down to the mouth of the river Blackwater, and breaking cover from the Dengie Peninsular,and started to feel the full force of the 26 mph Southerly wind that was relentless, but we dropped the anchor to see how we were going to lay, and of course we lay to wind, so not to bad,.....
The boys started to fish, and to be honest it was quite comfortable and quite warm 18 degrees..!!, and within 10 minutes the first Thornback was netted.then another , then another..... once again it was like a spring Roker trip, I think our glob trotting Ron (Florida Ron...lol) would have been proud. well after 3 hours of the ebb done and the Southerly wind had now picked up to a max of 47 mph we were beam on by now, and although a little roly, even on our big cat, wasn't too bad, but we had 6 decent Thornback Rays, some big Whiting, doggies, and some lovely Dabs, but no Cod, so we decided to up stumps and head back inside the river.
Stuart Belbin on Razorbill out of West Mersea came down to where we were Roker fishing, and I told him on the radio we were getting some nice Skate, and he dropped in behind us, but he was only there for about 30 minutes, then he went back to join Scott his son on Galloper, in the river, but we were still catching so we stayed for a while longer, but for once the forecast was right..!! and the wind did pick up all the time until it maxed out to 47 mph on my wind monitor, so that's when we went back into the river, plenty of decent Whiting, and Doggies in the river, but not really what my party wanted, so we decided to knock it on the head and hour early and put an extra hour on their next trip on the 5th December, when hopefully the weather will be kinder to us and they can have their extra hours fishing caching Cod..!!!!
Well not out today (Sunday 8th Dec) by choice, we are going to Norfolk to see my Daughter Michelle for a great show in the afternoon, and a massive fireworks display in the evening at Potters leisure where she works, then a lovely meal at the Black Rock restaurant, and probably stay over and return tomorrow.
I have ... rightly or wrongly.... (i think rightly) cancelled Monday's trip looking at the weather, so we are putting it back to Thursday or Friday when the weather looks much better......!!
Well that's it for now, hope you all have good fishing wherever you are fishing from today, and looks much better out there today so..... tight lines...!!

Fishing Report by Malcolm Collins
on Just Mary (Christchurch, Dorset)
7 Nov 2015 by Malcolm Collins
Report on-board Just Mary
Hi All, with what looks like a run of mild November weather bringing strong South Westerly winds and rain from the Atlantic up the English Channel then at this present time this month of November looks like it could be a poor one for getting out afloat. Having cancelled today, Sat. 7th and tomorrow, Sun. 8th, then looking at the long range forecast on several different Internet sites it is difficult to see when the next settled spell of weather will come. One such site, www.windyty.com is giving this current weather for the next ten days. So if I cancel your trip then don't be surprised even though we don't normally 'pull the plug' until the day before any planned booking having seen the 24 hour forecast for your chosen day. I can do many things, find you decent fish, tie your rigs for you, and even make decent tea and coffee but I haven't yet managed to alter the weather that the Big Man gives us. So be patient and when the weather improves we will be out there 'on the fish' again, in the meantime I wish you all the best and hope to see you soon, regards, Malc, 'Just Mary', Poole.

Fishing Report by Ross Parham
on Spot On! (Brixham, Devon)
Nov 2015 by Ross Parham
Report on-board Spot On!
October has been a varied month with warm weather and sometimes feeling more like summer, especially when the Cod have been playing ball like they have been all year this year.
Wrecking has been simply fantastic with great numbers of cod, Pollock, ling and bass making up the main sport, although some nice size tub and red gurnards have been taking the sidewinder also which makes for a nice surprise.
Bassing has also been strong with some trips landing lots up to the 5-6lb mark also on sidewinders and wedges.
The skerries continued to fish strong for plaice and rays with only one trip there in October the plaice not being quite as abundant as summer months but with plumper specimen's landed instead.
Spot On managed one last trip to Guernsey in October and what away to finish for this year, lots of prime Black Bream in the region of 2-3lb size around the islands, along with turbot and brill although only small with a handful of keepers.
The wrecking on the way hoe proved again the highlight with large Pollock on the first wreck but it was cod the lads wanted so off I went again and bingo, on the money again with another wreck producing a fish for every angler every drift, a nice end to 2015 Guernsey trips and I look forward to next years trips already.
Spot on has managed one wrecking trip in November so far due to the strong winds we have been having and it seems the Pollock have moved in as they were first on the lures and for the first time in many months just a hand full of cod and lots of Pollock made up the numbers, bait over slack produced some excellent ling fishing with the biggest going 31lb 5oz for Len from Liverpool.
November sees the season winding down for Spot On with Pollock being the target species before the boat comes out early December for a clean, scrub and tidy up ready for the winter Pollock in January 2016.
Bookings for next year have gone crazy and I would like to thank all my anglers for supporting myself and Spot On and enjoying the great Devon fishing town of Brixham, your support is appreciated and I enjoy fishing with you.
A big Thanks again for my sponsor's SIDEWINDER LURE'S and TOP RIG'S as without your great products these fish would simply not be possible.
This Saturday 7th November see's myself attend the Torbay festival presentation for myself to pick up the top skipper award.
(Making statement that Spot On is once again BRIXHAM's top charter boat for the second year running in this event.)

John Collings age 30 from Milton Keynes got a bigger fish than he bargained for while drifting for Plaice aboard Flamer IV when an Undulate Ray weighing 19Ib grabbed his ragworm and squid strip bait.The size 1/0 Sakuma Stinger hook stood up to the task and after a 10 minute struggle the big Undulate was brought to the boat. The ray was weighed,photographed and returned alive. John is pictured with his Superb 19Ib Undulate.

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
4 Nov 2015 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
The drop in temperature has bought the whiting into the bay, on an Albion club match last Sunday they landed over 100 whiting to reasonable size plenty of dogfish in all 12 species were recorded. Ian Hansford caught the best fish of the weekend landing another fine Turbot of 8lb. The cod fishing is good with the larger fish now appearing, our best this season is only 15lb but reports of fish to 27lb have been caught.
All the best

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Oct 2015 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
October has flown by with lots of trip chasing all sorts of fish. the weather may have been a pain for some but we have been very fortunate to have some great fishing in the blackwater estuary to fall back on when its too rough to get else where. To be honest sometimes the fishing was better in the estuary than it was further off with fish more concentrated. As ever there has been no shortage of whiting and dogfish about and depending where we fished it was usually one or the other (if not both) keeping us busy and robing our baits. In places the numbers of thornbacks has been steady with the average stamp slightly smaller this time of year going from maids to 8lbs or so. The stamp of cod on the other had is great at the moment with many on the 3-7lbs range even in the estuary. The numbers of fish are going up steadily now with the best numbers turning up later in the season last year. There are still a few summer fish here and there and we even found a few smooth-hounds the other day. the biggest fell to one lucky anglers (me) at 13.5lbs . this is by far the latest ive seen a double figure hound and ive no doubt is related to the relatively high water temp. over the coming weeks we should see more codling coming out and if were lucky might find one or two of the better fish as well. Ive got a few spaces before the end of the year and have put all of my dates for next year on my page.
