    A windy weekend, but we braved the conditions and found plenty of life.
    Skate, codling and our first hound of the year
    Fishing will get better and better, all we need is the weather to behave.

    Out on our monthly trip with Lester Friday 24th April, into Roker 5mins after anchoring on the mark, then steady all morning, Lester asked if we wanted to move to locate a few codling maybe, but we opted to stay put, and a blinding day was had by all, only five anglers on the boat which included our fast improving novice Chris, who is rapidly outfishing all of us, no stopping him now he has his own tackle box. In all we had approximately 45 Roker to 131/2 Lbs with about 20% just into double figures in the total, plus numerous dogfish, 50% of Roker returned to fight another day, thanks again Lester for another memorable trip and great company with yourself and the other lads, shame one of them had to pay for the priveledge of not turning out but thats the way it goes, your turn next trip Geoff, see you next month Lester, thanks again.

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Hi guys, well we had a lovely day today, wind at last went SW 4 to 5 but didn't cause us any trouble..!

    We had a slow start at first being plagued with the dreaded Doggies, so much so , that even though I would like to have stayed on the mark, it was impossible to keep the dogfish away from the bait.

    So I up stumps and moved 3.5 miles East and got straight into the Codling, and as the tide eased away, the Thornbacks came on thick and fast, the out of the blue, a lovely 6 lbs Bass hit a whole squid and came fighting all the way to the net...

    We are off again tomorrow, so we shall see if we can repeat today's superb action, no reason to suppose we cant, and once again the boys were absolutely blown away with our new boat... Cheers Guys...

    If you want to book up on the best charter boat in Essex just pick up the phone and dial....!!!

    Tight lines.....!!!

    Hi everyone, we are thinking of running a woman's angling day on Vanishing Point-2,.. and I will be there purely to get the boat to the fishing mark which My lovely Wife Nicola ( a qualified licensed skipper herself) will pick....!!

    Over the years it has to be said when you have ladies on the boat, they are bloody hard to beat..!! we even had a group of women, all great anglers, calling themselves.... The Up-tide Hookers...... they were brilliant.

    If we have enough interest, then we will run a ladies day maybe once a week.

    Nicola my wife is often seen in various national sea fishing magazines, and Dave Barham who now owns, and runs Boat Fishing Monthly is a great champion of the female angler.

    Well there is still a lot of Codling locally, and a lot of Thornback Rays within a short distance, so lots of fishing time.....

    Ok guys if you fancy this new idea.... give us a call, Nicola will be waiting...!!! NO DRAG ARTIST PLEASE...lol

    Tight lines...!!

    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Today was the months biggest spring tide had to work hard today trying to dodge the water, hid up in the bay to start with few doggies coming in and small whiting from the start. As the water eased we tried a little wreck spot inshore which has proved good in the past but was bit slow so tried another bank close by right up to slack. Few dogs again plus small flatty or two so headed down the Roads to pick up the start of the ebb. Wind was bit on strong side so wind against tide things started getting a small lump on. Was expecting the codling to show but not one! Sarah caught our first skate of the season so picture of her here the fish returned for another day,well done Sarah. After few more dogs and whiting decided to move back up the bay to calmer water to catch more of the same. Wasnt a bad day in all shame no cod. Thanks to everyone pitching in and washing down, thanks to Barry and his team of regulars along with Norwich lads Dave,Jason and Daniel, and Lee and Collin much appreciated hope we get the skate on your next booking! All the best,
    Jon. (High Flyer)

    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Well Saturday the wind blew just for a change..!! NE 25 to 30 mph, but with a flooding tide we sat nicely into the tide catching Codling, and Thornback Rays with regularity, and at high water, we moved a bit further West to the mouth of the River Blackwater, and after a little while when the tide got away we had more Codling in the afternoon, so the boys did well, and have vowed to make a return visit, as they said they have fished all around the country, but never, ever, had they been on a boat that had a cabin like a Lear jet, and a bridge deck like a 747...!! but what do you expect for nearly 3/4's of a million pounds..!!! only the best.

    so if you want to try us??
    just call us!!!

    and go to sea on the finest charter vessel that the UK has to offer, at no more money than most other charter boats costing 1/10th of the Vanishing Point-2.

NE 4 to 5 not bad when it was wind and tide together skate and Codling came to the boat, but when the tide turned we moved to a more sheltered position, and we caught more Codling but in the end the wind was the winner we just couldn't turn the boat against the wind, but a good day was had by all, and the party have made another 4 bookings..!!!! yay so all good.
