Report on-board High Flyer 2
Bringing us up to date very pleased with new vessel plenty of positive comments from most people especially the press button flush toilet! You would think the snazzy rod holders or seating arrangements no the bog! Its been great couple of weeks really all local boats catching some last minute thornbacks most of ours returned to be honest great for conservation as you can see by the photos. Plenty of very small skate mainly females all returned not worth a picture but great to see. The smoothounds have gone means water is getting colder spotty dogs a pain still one a cast really and yes the whitting are here in numbers keeping us too busy the little bait robbers. Few nice ones among them biggest so far 47cm for us. We have had few codling but still too warm need them leaves off the trees and icy windscreens dont think it will be too much longer lots of geese flying overhead now.Picture today of Trevor Pankhurst had a good few skate with us over the week from London thanks for coming out Trevor.Looking ahead soon as codling appear in reasonable numbers will arrange few night trips as to the weekends ahead limited space now up to xmas do get booked in or i wont be able to get you on Sat/Sun . Midweek trips will make trips up if you fancy certain dates get in touch. So looking forward to our next chapter winter, cup of soups, thermals on, and me in a heated wheelhouse!!! Hopefully see you soon on High Flyer 2. Jon

Fishing Report by Phil White
on Chinook 3 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Chinook 3
The weather over the last fortnight has been quite lovely with some warm days and sunny skies. This has allowed our anglers to get out and enjoy some excellent sport with a variety of species.
Offshore
The Bass fishing has been superb with some cracking fish showing, we have had quite a few fish around
6-7lb and a lot around 3-4 lb, these fish are further off on the banks and will move off soon.
There are plenty of Thornbacks around with some really lovely fish up to 10lb reported, these fish will stay around for most of the winter depending on water temperature and food.
There are lots of Whiting showing up in all areas, some of these fish are a decent size, best baits are fish and lug.
Inshore
There are lots more Thornbacks showing in most areas and these are very welcome with the absence of cod at the moment, best baits are squid and herring.
The whiting are pushing into all the Estuaries in good numbers and this is good news when the weather does not allow us to get further out. The dabs are starting to feed on the small tides.
The piers and shore marks are producing Whiting, Thornbacks and Dabs with the odd codling, best tides are springs mid flood to mid ebb.
Prospects are excellent but this depends on weather the cod show up, there are reports of a few more than last winter so fingers crossed.

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi guys... sorry it's been a while but been busy with late season Bass fishing which I have to say has been as good as it's ever been, despite what the doom and gloomers would have you believe...!!!
There are a few Cod being reported close in now, I have not had any on my boat yet but in fairness we have not really tried in earnest for them, but a pal of mine on another charter boat told me of a 16lbs Cod caught just two days ago right where we were fishing yesterday, I am not at all surprised, as there are large shoals of Whiting in the area now, so it might be worth putting out a live bait to tempt a large Cod to the hook..!!
There quite a lot of Thornback Rays moving in now we had over 20 yesterday along with Doggies and Whiting all the lads were happy filleting on a slow ride home back to Bradwell..... well done everyone great day, and good company...... see you all again soon.
The Vanishing Point-2 has been out of the water for a good spruce up polished anti-fouled a few cosmetic repairs and it looking like new again....
If you want to get out during the week, as we have very little space on weekends, then give us a call on: 07768306646 View Boats Page

An abundance of fish out of Lowestoft on Lead Us 08-10-17
With big tides running we headed north to the shallower waters of Corton, expecting lots of weed and difficult fishing. We couldn't have been more wrong within seconds of the baits hitting the bottom the fish started coming which continued throughout the day with a constant stream of doggies and well over 100 good sized whiting 3 nice smoothounds to 5lb and 2 codling hopefully this is a sign of things to come as the weather gets colder View Boats Page

A double shot for Mick on Lead Us
A weather window and slack tides saw us heading offshore to deeper water again. Within 5 minutes Bob was into the first hound of the day around the 5lb mark with plenty of spotties and whiting coming on board 10 minutes later i managed the first thornback and so it went on throughout the day just before slack water Mick had a lovely double shot consisting of a nice thornback and smoothound at the same time which took some pulling in. We ended the day with 6 thornbacks to 6lb 6 smoothounds to 6.5lb lots of spotties and whiting to go round. Mark as hard as he tried could not get past the whiting and spotties but did manage the record for the smallest spotties of the day. A great days fishing once again on Lead Us
