Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Just a quick up-date, the big hounds have arrived in one of our not so distant marks, within about 35 mins from port... (well it is around 35 mins on the Vanishing Point-2). a little longer on other vessels, but the action is really good at the moment....!!!
After some of our female anglers asking the question if we could run one day a week just as a ladies day..!!
I did say yes, but sadly virtually none of you have called????? so on that basis I would have to say unless we get some interest soon we will take that option off the menu....
Well dads...!!!! as its school holiday time, why not bring your children out fishing, if they are over 10 years, and well behaved, they would be welcome..
Tight lines.......!!

Report on-board Predator
A great day afloat for the lads from Bournemouth who beat their own boat record for number of rays boated.
After a late start (weather forecast wrong again!!) we set off across Swanage bay in search of bait. After a short while we found enough mackerel for the day and dropped anchor at our chosen mark. It wasn't long before the rays moved in on our fresh bait. Actioned continued all day and a total of 30 rays were boated photographed and returned. The previous best for the lads was 27. We managed 3 different species; undulate, spotted & thornback.

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
27.07.2015.
Had 5 lads booking the boat for today. Phil Parkes and his mates from west Yorkshire.
A weather forecasters nightmare I'm sure here on the East coast for today's forecast. Some saying no wind, others giving a fresh NE breeze. Last forecast at 6pm last night said we go, so we had the lads through.
The breeze was a little more than predicted this morning but our seasoned anglers decided that we should give it a go seeing as they were already in town. Some skippers thought that we were "Dick Turpins" ( 5 boats sailed and some got the whole day in with a terrific catch) but when your lads have been going to sea nearly as long as me and know the score then we can only oblige and hopefully find a few!
2 hours angling on the rough ground only 3 miles offshore resulted in the boys collecting over 20 codling between them which they were very happy with indeed. Another few trips trip booked on the strength of it !!!
The lads are pictured with a few of their codling.
Happy fishing!!

Report on-board Nova Stella.
Morning gent's
Fished on Sunday in conditions that would be expected in November not flaming July, heavy rain and gusty winds hampered us for most of the trip but fishing made up for it,we got stuck into the hounds landing a dozen or so up to 14lb ,then fished sheltered waters in the medway catching countless bass up to 3lb ,not big I know but still good sport on light tackle ,a couple of elusive eels also turned up to finish off a not so bad day considering the weather.fingers crossed for more settled conditions next time tightline's baz.

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
26 Jul 2015 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
We have been out just about every day this past week.
Fishing has been consistent, with lots of hounds showing in good numbers in the right places.
We had some good Bass fishing on Monday 20th, Tuesday 21st, and Wednesday 22nd, then the tides were getting a tad on the small side, so we concentrated on the Smoothounds and everyone had great fun tussling with them..!!.
By the time we got to Friday, the Thornbacks started showing up once again on the off-shore marks, so we have been doing a split day, half on Thornbacks, and the other half on Hounds, makes for an interesting day, then over the slack water we had a drift for the elusive Mackerel..!!! and we did find about a dozen, now the water is going that nice emerald green colour, but still not there in the usual numbers they should be by now, but hey ho, with this inclement weather we have been having I don't think the fish know weather they are coming or going???? I know I don't...lol.
Saturday was blown out to weather, probably could have gone but it is no fun fishing in high winds and driving rain..!!!.
Sunday 26th was a bit lonely out there, seemed we were the only boat to venture off-shore, but to be honest, it wasn't to bad to start with, fairly light winds, and that was wind and tide virtually together, so by the time we got off-shore and anchored up we sat there just lovely, but due to the weather over the last couple of days, the lovely emerald green water we were enjoying out there over night turned very dark brown and murky ...!! so the first mark we stopped at where just 24 hours before we had some great Roker action didn't even throw up a bit..!! so we didn't wast too much time there, after 40 mins that was enough, knowing we only had the ebb tide to fish, due to the wind freshening up all the time, the flood tide was never going to be an option to fish..!!
So with that in mind, we moved into deep water, and re-rigged for hound fishing, and the boys did very well with hounds, up to 12, 14, 15, and 16 lbs and many more smaller ones, at one time they didn't know weather to take their fish, or scoff the lovely sausage rolls Nicola had just grilled for them.... decisions, decisions..!! lol.
So by the time we got to 1300, it was time to turn on the TV and tune in to the Grand Prix, and with the amazing surround sound system we have on VP-2 it sounded like the Ferraris, and F1- racing cars were coming from all around us...!!! so with all the guys seated in the wheelhouse in the warm, we start the journey back to Bradwell with a very happy bunch of anglers, who immediately booked their next trip with me and Nicola before they left the boat, saying they have fished before on other charter boats, but never have they seen such a boat as the Vanishing Point-2, they said ...
"it was just mind blowing" not my words.... there's .
So with the weather still unsettled, we are having a few days off to catch up with life, and see family, then Wednesday if the weather is ok we will be going to look for Tope, and big Bass well off-shore, so I will let you all know how we get on later in the week..... until then......... Tight lines...!!! View Boats Page
