Report on-board Cleveland Princess
Went with Andrew on his boat Tuesday 13th it was abit snotty to begin with but as the day got on so were the conditions,we found a few fish on our first mark but it was a bit slow with the wind dropping away we ran off to another mark as the tide eased on the ebb the first Cod appeared a fish just over 3lb in great condition then Andrews up tide rod lifted up and started to go down tide we new it was a better fish and it was a cracking fish it came to the net and on the boat at 14lbs and in peak condition 3 more smaller fish came into the boat all around the 3-4lb with a few Dabs and small Whiting,BP.

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well.. after the long wait for Vanishing Point-2 to make her homeward journey to Essex some 750 miles from the Irish sea where she has been working since she was built 2 years ago, that day is getting closer everyday..!! she is in Essex and has been for quite a few weeks under going a make over and getting ready for charter fishing rather that wind farm work.
All new accommodation has been constructed, the boat is having all new carpets being laid next week, fishing positions around the boat are being installed, we are looking into the possibility to see if it is possible to
re-instate the clay trap we had on Vicky Emma, for Clay pigeon shooting, on calm days at sea, as many of you will remember, like we did before, but that would be subject to Police approval and coast guard permission.
So we will start taking booking for charters from February onwards.... and just to confirm that the rumours of Vanishing Point-2 coming to Bradwell with Terry & Nicola are true, and firmly back in the driving seat, and we would welcome all our old friends and new aboard our new vessel and hope you love it as we do, a charter boat unrivalled by any other...... come and see for your self...
Tight lines everyone, see you in a few weeks
Terry & Nicola....

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Well today was the hardest day i,ve had for months on the High Flyer, i spent half the night down on the Quay watching the rising tide as a huge surge was reported making its way down the coast over a meter higher than predicted, high water was 11pm last night . The boats all along the quay getting higher , anxious fisherman watching ,tying extra buffs on, lengthening mooring lines was all go. After midnight water got to about 2ft from coming over the wall not like last years when we all got flooded reminders of 1953! The downside for us on Sundays fishing was extremley hard tons of weed, plastic bags and various toiletry items on the lines 5 mins after casting was a nightmare! Moved right close inshore to escape helped but still not great. Ended up with only about 4 codling and few small whiting nothing else, much the same for the other boats even lads down the coast further south phoning up complaining of same problems. Would like to thank first timers on the boat Barry and his group sorry to have come on such a day being first time as well, plus the strong westerly, have known better days! Also john for doing a report of the day much appreciated. We didnt bother with any pictures today so thought i would leave you with a picture emailed to me some time ago, i wonder what breaking strain line was used, see what you reckon!! Till next time, tight lines everyone. Jon,

Report on-board High Flyer 2
went out on the high flyer sunday 11/01/2015 day before there was a massive surge on the yare so we got out there and it was hard going only a few codling and whiting showed only one keeper for the day for me we all put it down to the adverse weather wind really rising and the ensueing surge on the yare had obviously put the fish of the feed for the day good set of lads for the day the usual good banter for what turned out to be a bad day for the flyer very unusual for jon better luck next time mate it cant all be plain sailing everyday

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Jan 2015 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
The new year is well underway already and Christmas almost seems a distant memory. We were lucky enough to get out several times over the Christmas period and with some great results too. we took advantage of the blackwater estuaries shelter on several occasions and the river is still producing well with numbers of codling coming out along with whiting and some nice roker too. we managed an offshore trip too with the odd nice fish knocking about. The dogfish were a pain at times as is often the case but there were one or two better fish about as well. Les king did the best by far starting with a nice cod of 14.15lbs followed by a couple of smaller ones soon after. This is a good fish compared to the general stamp in our area this year and a decent fish by anybody’s standards I’m sure. I wouldn’t expect one this size every time but its nice to know they’re out there. Inshore the fishing has been great with general numbers around 30-50 a day. This is mostly codling in the 16-18 inch bracket with a few smaller and the odd bigger one. Some days have fished very well indeed when everything goes right. One trip last week was with just 4 lads fishing 6 rods and we totalled around 80 codling, a few whiting and 4 roker for the day. The stamp was great with just one or two under 16 inches and the majority 3lbs or more! One lucky angler had getting on for 50 himself. Thankfully the lads are fishing in a really responsible manour keeping the odd one or two for the table and letting most go. We had another trip with even better numbers coming out although there were a few smaller ones mixed in too that day. The numbers crept up steadily and before we knew it we were staying a little later to try and make the hundred. Unfortunately the tide died along with the fishing but we had 97 for the day and my best numbers for a few years now. These fish may not be monsters but they truly are great fun on light up tide gear. I wouldn’t expect these numbers every trip although its hard not to get spoiled when its fishing that well. i don’t know how long these fish will hang around for. If we are lucky then they could be here until April but who knows and when they go we should see the roker move in anyway.
I have updated my available dates for this year along with all of my offshore trips. If you are after specific tides such as offshore trips may require I would advise you book well in advance as booking are on a ‘first come first served’ basis. I update my website and facebook pages regularly with reports and pictures.

Report on-board High Flyer 2
With the forcast all over the place having spoke to other skippers few cancelled had a word with the boys and we decided to go for it, being safe staying inshore again! Turned out apart from the rain which was a bit dreary at times the wind never appeared and flat calm conditions throughout the day! Cant think why these forcasts are so wrong with our modern technology? Plenty of fresh lugworm today all round and some slightly smelly ones from last trip, new variety of squid plus fresh blacks headed nearly off Lowestoft further south to our usual haunts. Only 2 boats out today angling that joined us, bit of a slow start with few whiting making a show then just the odd codling as we were not far off slack. As the tide changed fish started coming in most of the day really quite a few put back today well done lads great for conservation. No flatties today nor pouting only codling and whiting, picture here of the keepers around 3 oclock as wanted a picture before dark until new camera arrives! Stayed till about 5.30pm after having moved back up to the mud with few more coming in. Was a great day all round, thanks to everyone pitching in and washing down,Brilliant much appreciated, thanks to Steve and Trevor first time on the Flyer,also Terry, regulars Steve and Matt and dave really enjoyed it men was good day all round and nice start to 2015. Looking to do night trip soon as weather possibly giving us high pressure keep eye out on website calender for places. ( Jon. High Flyer)
