    Report on-board TROT- ON

    With a rare day off Dolly decided to have a few hours uptiding to try a few marks for the up coming Uptide festival Nov 7th - 22nd and what a few hours it turned out to be. As soon as the anchor was set and from the first cast the fish were attacking the baits which were a mixture of Cart, Worm, Squid cocktails. the fish ranged from 1lb to 5lb The fishing was mental with over 30 fish boated by 4 anglers in just over 2 hours. Most of the fish were returned except the deep hooked ones all in all it was a very enjoyable and informative few hours. If you fancy a trip uptiding with a chance of winning the £1000 first place prize in the W.S.A forum uptide festival then give Paul Eddon a call on 07766995847

  • 26/10/2015 Fishing Report by Rich Cope on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    26 Oct 2015 by Rich Cope

    Report on-board Mistress

    We've managed to sneak a couple more days ‪Uptiding‬ in here at ‪whitby‬ this week since our last report, the tides continued to lift which gave us the opportunity to explore a few of the marks we fished last year to see what we have in store in for us over the coming months.

    The ‪#‎Mistress‬ anglers weren't disappointed in what we found! We've had some absolutely belting fish with the general stamp of fish being around the 4lb mark, but saying that every trip so far has chucked a lot 6lbers out too, two of the trips this last week has seen double figure fish coming to the boat. Ling to 12lb 8oz and Cod to 10lb 4oz, most days were getting a couple of 8lbers too, plus plenty of fish for everyone. We're currently averaging 60-90 cod per day for the boat.

    I'm off for a well earned holiday on Thursday and will get back at the fish from the 6th November, when our Uptiding festive sweepstake will begin and run to the 15th December, some great prizes and cash up for grabs just in time for Christmas!, entry is £5 per person per rod (on top of the charter fee £45 per person), and all entry money will go to the total fund at the end of the comp. we still have dates available, so get yourselves booked in!

  • 10/2015 Fishing Report by TERRY BATT on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

    Oct 2015 by TERRY BATT

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Just a little rant..... again...!!! I had the very sad misfortune to have some really nice guys on the boat last Wednesday, you may have read my report on my fishing page.
    They were sadly late by an hour due to a car crash on the M 25 so the day didn't get off to a great start, we missed a vital hour of ebb tide and with 42 mph winds blowing it was important to get to as much wind and tide together as possible, but it . is was what it was...!!
    But....!!! here comes the part that really hurt, the boys that were late from Kent, cancelled all future charters with me, saying they didn't want to drive all the way from Kent just to blank..!! well in fact no one blanked all had fish albeit some only got Whiting, doggies, Pouting, while other did get half a dozen Codling between them, before moving back into the river for the flood tide due to the strong winds, but the small tide 4.8 mtrs took an age to start to run, and when we did get some tide, we had little time left to fish, but we did get another 2 Codling at the end of the day in the river....
    But the boys cancelling their trips was sad enough, but the reason for them cancelling their trips was the real kick in the guts.!!! it turned out, one of my regular anglers "Ken Pipe" who has fished with me for over 10 years, and one of my fellow charter skippers Lee Bollingbrook on Sophie Lee, told my customers... and I quote word for word his damming advice to lads.....
    HE SAID " IT IS COMMON PLACE TO GO OUT AND HAVE A BAD DAYS FISHING...!! AND THAT COD THAT WERE CAUGHT ..3-4 LBS IS ABOUT AS BIG AS THEY GET..!! AND SAID IF HE WAS US, AND LIVE SO CLOSE TO THE SOUTH COAST, HE WOULD 100% BE FISHING DOWN THERE..!!"
    it was on the back of this hideous advice, the Kent boys cancelled all trips.
    Well this is a chap who sadly contracted cancer a few years ago, and glad he was treated successfully..., but when I think, Nicola and I phoned him almost every week to see how he was ? and how his treatment was going? and offered him trips out on the boat, not to fish, just a boat ride while he was convalescing , at no charge, just to get him out of the house, and have some company..... he treats us like that... it is sickening, talk about the enemy within, Ken has a very nasty streak in him, and I am with great sadness banning him from ever stepping on our boat again, the money is not important, it is the principle that matters to me, and I would love it if Lee Bollingbroock would do the same, and if Ken thinks the South Coast is so appealing the Fu****k off down there and stripe someone else up, because you are not welcome here any more.. and by the way mate, as far as fishing Technic goes you have no idea ken, you really do suck at fishing, do you know what everyone says about you..??? you are someone with all the gear, and no idea..!!! and that really sums you pal, we just didn't like to tell you, but when you mess with our livelihood, then the gloves come off.
    You know what Ken, ever heard the old WW II saying ....
    ""LOSE LIPS COST LIVES "" in our case our livelihood..!! so you might want to think and engage your brain before opening your big mouth...!!!
    I don't think we have ever been more disappointed in anyone, as we are in you......
    All I can say to any charter boat skipper around Essex, if Ken Pipe calls you to make a booking, beware it could cost you dear...!!!!!
    Rant well and truly OVER..!!!!!
    Ps: The Photo shown is of this vindictive little man Ken Pipe..

  • 25/10/2015 Fishing Report by Philip Higgins on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

    25 Oct 2015 by Philip Higgins

    Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3

    After a spell of unsettled weather a window of opportunity arose on Sunday 25th saw bright sunshine and calm seas along with the 1st frost of this winter, the idea was to head of to sea after the last of the big bream on the wrecks but for some reason we choose to head east and enjoy a day fishing of the Needles, as we approached I counted 35 boats already at anchor and my chosen mark already taken so as we headed towards another bank we marked some fish and anchored into these, almost immediately we had bites and Mark Turner produced a 6lb Cod on his 1st drop bites continued and fish came aboard regularly all day, Conn Bratcher changed his tactics to catch whiting and within minutes hooked into something a bit more challenging after a few minutes a superb Turbot of 17lb 12ozs was safely netted, the tackle used was not traditional Turbot gear but a size 4 Aberdeen wire hook and a small slither of mackeral. As the tide eased Gary Taylor landed another 10lb Cod along with a few nice whiting.
    Cod and whiting are now the main targets for the next 2 months with numbers and size set to improve, if you fancy a trip as an individual or as part of a group please give me a call.
    All the best
    Philip Higgins
