Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Just a quick update.... we now have our pots out to catch Hermit crabs so if all goes well over the next few days, Thursday is looking good on the weather front, so we may well go for Bass on the hard run of the tide, then when it backs off, we may put the Hermits to good use and have a crack at the hounds...
Thursdays trip is full now, but if you act quick we have just had 2 spaces become available on Saturday's trip.
Here is a tip if you are fishing off you own boat....... if you are fishing for Thornback Ray's, using squid and you are getting plagued with doggies, change your bait to Herring, and I doubt you will see one, we did this yesterday, and we didn't see a doggie all day.......... Yeah..!!!! for Herring.
Ok guys, very busy this week, but me and Nicola would just like to say a huge thank you for so many of you that are now coming back to us after being away for so long, and all the new parties that have seen us out in the Blackwater estuary and have made enquiries to book vanishing Point-2 up, that is GREAT...!!!! thanks everyone.....!!!
Tight lines............ see you soon!!

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Strong tides today all play had to be inshore in the shallower water , decided to try little mark i use for some skate as tide eased but they let me down! Unfortunately doggies were on the menu today from here and a few smoothies and we wont mention the double whiting hookup by Karl. Stayed till the tide was right on slack, the wind decided to increase a bit making few rollers appear not that great so headed north for a bit of shelter up the top end near Caister . Again more doggies nothing else but, by now the strong tide racing through was job to hold bottom so moved again and hid up in ley of the outer harbour which paid off. Few more fish again still the same species with a welcome flatty thrown in. As tide eased headed back to our spot to catch yes you guessed more dogs and smoothies! Was an enjoyable day though we worked around the tide and managed to hold our own in the wind and got reasonable day in.Lads pictured here with there keepers from the day nice little meal the spotty dogs people forget that. Few new faces on the Flyer today thanks to Ethan and grandad David, and Martin all first timers and regulars Lee, Karl, Trevor and Dave for crewing. Look forward to our next session where i hope we dont catch a single dogfish! All the best. Jon.( High Flyer.)

Hi all,
well another good day had by my party to day, with a lot of fish boated..!! and looking to book up immediately for the rest of the summer..!!! Yay me..!!
I have heard on the grapevine, that someone (unknown to me) is doubting the posting I put on here on Wednesday, about the Smoothound fishing we had, apparently me and two pals, didn't catch 30 plus hounds up to 15lbs..!!!!! well either I am a liar, which I most certainly am not, or the more plausible scenario is...!! whoever is putting this about is clearly someone who is not capable of finding these fish for himself, so assumes like a twatt that no one else can find them, I think people shouldn't judge others by their own failings..... sad really.
But as I said earlier this week, if anyone want to fish for these lovely big hounds, I would be happy
( if you don't mind putting a little extra money in the pot for fuel) to take you to this undisclosed mark and give you a day to remember... They are there, I assure you...!!!

Hi Guys
we just had 12 novice angler on today, and they were just so pleased at the fact most had never been on a boat before, let alone fished from one..!!! but under the careful guidance of me and Nicola, they listened well and learned to wait for the bites, and they had over 40 Thornback rays and a lovely 4lbs Codling, so everyone went home happy..... just how we like it.
Tomorrow we will be targeting more Thornback Rays, and still looking for the odd Codling that are late leavers....!!!! along with the early Bass which are starting to get about...
Just a foot not: they returned most of the fish back to fight another day, fantastic..!!
Tight lines.....!

Cracking start to the day weather wise forcast light wind sun was out with calm seas pleasure just to be out. Makes a change from the last few trips! Due to the tide time decided to fish straight away inshore a little hole i use here and there off the channel hoping for few skate. Was bit of a slow start with few doggies coming aboard, then one codling appeared only one of the day. as tide weakened our luck changed ended up with 3 rokers more dogs and few smoothounds and couple of dreaded whiting. The wind picked up slightly NE nothing major , clouded over too so decided on the start of the flood to head north up the turbines. Paid off with doggies and smoothies from the start but after a hour the deeper water was a bit hard to hold bottom so came right inshore to another hole i use in the summer. Biggest fish of the day fell to Jonsey pictured here with 8lb smoothy nice start to the season, was a good day in all with fish pretty constant throughout the day to be honest. Big thanks to all the lads was a most enjoyable day most first time on the High Flyer, looking forward to seeing you all again at some point. Until then all the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

Bummer...!!!! cancelled today as the weather was forecast to be raining all day, Easterly 25mph so wind against tide basically a crap day...
I got up this morning looked out my window to sunshine, a 10 mph Easterly, (not too bad) and now they say we wont get any rain until around 1600 this afternoon ..!!! what are they on..!!
I had two guys coming over from Belgium to-day who were so eager to fish on the mighty Vanishing Point-2 as they have heard so much about her and was looking forward to stepping aboard.
Oh well, we will see what tomorrow brings, hopefully find some of those big Hounds..!!!

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi Guys
Well I said I would report on today's exploratory trip looking for big hounds if they were around to an undisclosed mark, and boy did we find them..!!!
We had 45 hounds to 13lbs Codling to 5lbs, and Skate to 8lbs, yep a real good day with the target species found.
I wont go on about it as it's late and it's been a long day, but I will start to sort out some prices to take parties to this Holy grail of hound fishing, as it is a fair way the diesel cost will be an added cost but with the speed of Vanishing Point-2 if we push the engines a bit harder (obviously using quite a bit more fuel) we can get to the mark in around an hour, travelling at 25 knots, so not much chance of being followed..!!!
Talk soon guys....!!!!!

Todays trip started well winds being same as forcast light southerly
so decided to head to a 4 mile bass spot as armed with fresh rag and
few peelers. Within 5 mins our first bass of the season came in which
was pleasing was thinking this is going to be a good day. Wasnt long
till the wind picked up turned SE waves got bit naughty so had to head
in. Had few doggie and smoothies from the mark too in all not bad for
an hours fishing. Moved inshore still too lumpy inside so only option
was to hide up right on the beach behind the outer harbour thats how
lumpy it had become,full marks to everyone as we had young ones on
board . Had nice mixed bag in all few keepers pictured here with some
of Barrys team on the wall back home due to the weather! Got away with
the day in the end ,few in the bag for tea and everyone safe was
enjoyable day apart from me spilling every cup of tea i made! British
weather hey. Thanks again to Barry for organising another day looking
forward to next months trip. Cheers. Jon. (High Flyer) View Boats Page
