Report on-board Cleveland Princess
Its been a good week for fishing with conditions spot on for a run out to some of the marks that we haven't been to for a while,Tuesday we had 7 nice sized Cod all between 3-5lb in prime condition,we all so shot our nets for some sprats and Herring a few of each,Thursday i ran straight out to one of my favorite areas and it did not disappoint with some lovely big Whiting showing first before the Cod turned up to feed we finished up with 20 good fish all running between 44cm and 58cm being the best iam sure over the next week we will be in for some big fish as they will follow the Herring in good hunting,BP.

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi guys n gals, well at last Vanishing Point-2 will hit the water tomorrow..!! (Monday 9th Feb) and will be back in Bradwell sometime Tuesday/Wednesday and after sea trials be ready to start charter fishing as from next weekend.
So if you want to see what all the fuss has been about, come down and see us on-board and have a cuppa, and a chat about making your bookings, and take a look round if we are on the boat, best call us first if you want to meet on the boat, on ..07768 30 66 46 and we will arrange to show you around the vessel, which we firmly believe is the biggest, fastest, most expensive and luxurious large Catamaran operating today at over £700,000 to build, nothing was spared on this boat, as will be obvious when you see her.
I understand there are a showing of sprats at the moment, so hopefully that wont impact to greatly on our fishing, although it wont help that's for sure, but we usually winkle something out.
Well, Nicola and I are very excited, and cant wait to see you all that have already booked VP-2 we are now just rigging her with all the tackle needed to start fishing again.
We would just like to a huge thank you to all our very loyal customers who have come back to us in droves, you have made Nic and I feel very special..... thank you and see you very soon.. Tight Lines..!!

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)

Report on-board Galloper
After a belting start to January things proceeded to slow a little as we got into the month. The cause of this a mixture of the cold weather and sprats distracting the cod from out baits. We were hampered by weather occasionally but on the whole it was a good January. When we have got out there has still been some good fishing to be had. even though bites may be a little slower and finicky as the fish are already stuffed with sprat we have seen some reasonable numbers. Several days have seen 20-35 codling coming out along with a few roker too. the last few years January and February have produced some decent roker and whiting. This year has proved to be much the same with some decent fish coming out. Our biggest whiting was just shy of 2lbs for luke on his first trip. One of our regulars Barry Woods had a stonking roker of 18.12lbs which is a new PB for him and the ‘Galloper’. The big fish was a female so as with all females was returned after a few pictures. Barry had a good day with another roker and quite a few codling too. the sprats should move on anytime now which should help our catches of cod. The good thing is the fish pile on the weight while theyre eating them so when they go the stamp should be lovely. If and when things start to warm up we should see a few more roker getting about and it would be nice to see a few more fish like Barry’s grace the deck.
There’s loads more info on my site along with weekly reports and available dates. I have a few spaces in February and several into march, I keep my calendar as up to date as possible. So for more info please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk or call 07956411528 View Boats Page

Report on-board Girl Mandy
Hi all well the silly season has started early this year this is again not a report as such but a number that needs circulating around so that nobody else gets caught, the number that needs to be wary of is 07974875737 the mans name is Brian when you talk to a skipper over the phone and sort a date and a price then that date is agreed and held for you but in this instance that is not true. On ringing this man his excuse is he didn't realise that's what it means just say its only a enquiry then if you do take a booking from another group it then his is own fault , fair enough if you enquire then it doesn't mean you book it would have been nice to say I cant make that date not to leave it till for the skipper to run around after certain people in this world I say again if you only make an enquiry that's all it means, if you book that then it is a contract to go unless there is a valid reason ( BRIAN 07974875737 ) PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TAKE A DEPOSIT FROM HIM AS WITH MOST THINGS YOU DO NOWADAYS cheers Trev / Matt

Report on-board High Flyer 2
This report is to cover the weekend of 24th/25th January one i would rather forget to be honest! As we know we cant have great days every trip and thats fishing but few factors came into play last week affecting every boat i talked to as far down as essex . Unfortunately for us we have been plagued with vast shoals of sprats making our cod fishing rather difficult apart from them gorging themselves on the feast it also tends to make them rise midwater leaving our bottom baits alone resulting in the obvious , poor weekend for us and everyone else and me needing my haircut after pulling most of it out! We ended up on Saturday with few whiting and about dozen dabs and Sunday in the strong tide just pin whiting even after moving around five different spots it was just not going to happen. Hopefully change this week in the weather with strong northerley forcast midweek it should break the shoals up. Even though we had rough time of it the weather was sunny and calm and to see thousands of gulls feasting all along the bank and behind every vessel churning up the fish for them was truly a remarkable sight which i wont forget. Big thanks to both parties for a slow but still enjoyable day can only console ourselves by knowing they wont be here long and hope things get back to normal. All the best . Jon. High Flyer.PS< Didnt bother with any fish photos as we passed by the seals at Scroby here the little buggers are!

Report on-board Cleveland Princess
Took Antony's party out on Saturday24th with a big spring running i decided to keep inside of the stanford and go after some Dabs but todays tide was very strong and it was a job to keep baits on the bottom but we did manage to find a few fish an hour before slack then wind picked up so ran into the Claremont as the tide just started to ebb a few more small Whiting and a couple of Dabs,these sprats are certainly keeping all the fish occupied at the moment,see you all again soon,bp
