Sunday 6th January 2013 - Benchmark Trophy -
Todays trip was for the annual Benchmark Winter Cod Trophy. We locked out of the marina and headed up the river, as we got towards the pierhead the fog was closing in and getting quite thick, so we decided to turn around and head down river until it lifted. However once we anchored up whiting and dabs were being pulled in every drop, until the first Cod of the day was pulled in shortly followed by a few more. The decision was made to stay put and not move.
With this Daz 2nd Skipper decided to stick a rod out at the front uptiding. It didnt take long for the Cod to begin feeding and he had a few whilst the lads where pulling Cod in to 6lb. As the lads had began to catch more Cod, Daz decided to call it a day, so whilst tidying up his rod began knocking. Once he had hooked the fish, i originally thought that he had hooked a smaller cod as his rod wasnt dipping like a big fish until it broke the surface and decided to dive back under the surface, a couple of times, it took about 10mins to get to the boat and then once at the side the net was lowered only for it to take another dive back under. Eventually when it came to the surface you could see that it was a big fish. Once we had taken the hook out of it, and put it on the scales it weighed in at 9lb 12oz.
We got the lads back to fishing and with everyone back in the water the cod began to show again. As the time disapperead it became apparent to everyone that Keiths 6lbr would take the trophy for this year. Although the guys boated 16 Cod for the day. Daz`s 9lb 12oz cod wasnt included into the count nor were his other fish, becuase we the crew dont fish the pools. Well done guys.
There was plenty of happy faces and plenty of fish for the guys to take home,
We look forward to seeing the guys in the summer.

Saturday 5th January 2013
Locked out of the marina not knowing what to expect fish wise, as the amount of rain that we had before xmas had a knock on affect to the fishing.
We headed up the river to a mark that usually produces some nice Cod. It didnt take long for the whiting to make an appearance, shortly followed by the first Cod of the day. We had a few more after that, and decided to move out of the river and head up the channel. Plenty of decent sized whiting and nice dabs where boated until everybody had caught enough we decided to go back on the cod, this time heading downriver.
We went to an area that we have had some success on recently, but today wasnt to be the day and we ended the day on 7 cod with the best being 3lb 8oz. It was nice to hear that the big ones are still about as the boat next to us had a 9lb and 9lb 10oz.

Report on-board Lead Us
First time out with Colin on Lead Us; in fact first time out from Lowestoft, but it won't be the last and Colin will always be top of the calling list when we return. A lovely solid boat and perfect with just four of us on board. A good long day out and excellent value for money. Very impressed with Colin's knowledge and boat handling skills and fantastic that the fish were professionally cleaned for us by the skipper on the way back to harbour. I haven't seen that since I was up in Whitby!! Cheers! Dave & Elliott

Report on-board Shy-Torque III
Shy-Torque III. 4th, 5th + 6th January.
Mixed fortunes for the lads over the last 3 days aboard the boat.
On Friday (4th) we sailed to the 9 mile ground hoping that the water had cleared out. Sadly it hadn't so we steamed to a few wrecks on the 20 mile. They didn't produce too well either if I'm honest. The lads amassing around 40 fish between them. Most of the fish falling to squid bait.
A group of 4 lads from "Attic" nr Hornsea had the boat booked on Saturday (5th) and they didn't fair too well either! They managed a couple of dozen fish between them. Mucky water at present.
From what I was hearing on the radio everyone was struggling wherever they were, inshore and offshore, so I decided it was a good time to get the boat booked in for her annual lift out of the water.
Travelling to distant grounds, yesterdays group faired a lot better. Not so much quality wise but certainly quantity wise. Cod were boated to around the 7lb mark and Ling to just under 12lb. Nearly all fish taken on the bait yet again. All the lads walked away with a very respectful bag of fish for the table.
The boat is now high and dry on the dock and will be for the next week or so. Annual check over, antifouling and polish. Hopefully the water will have cleared a bit for our return.
Nigel Hall is pictured with a nice brace of cod caught on a double hook squid bait trace.

Fishing Report by Robert Squirrell
on Eastern Promise 2 (West Mersea, Essex)

Report on-board Eastern Promise 2
Went out Sunday 6th Jan 2012. And was very foggy. It was first trip aboard the new Boat (See Video), and must say we were not disappointed. Usual 7am Start,and it was cold. Headed out and hit first spot. Where it was slow to start. In fact I had not had a fish by 11.00am. But Others had a few. Then a Move saw us find the fish. And we finished up with betweek 35 and 40 Cod from 3lb to 6lb, at least 15 Skate. Some good size Whiting and a scattering of Doggies. Couple of keeper skate,but rest went back, and we even were putting back the Cod. New Boat is Quick, so less time getting out which means more time fishing. And what a great time it was. Cheers Derek.
