Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well with the weather being fantastic all week we have got offshore nearly every day to fish for Bass, lost count how many were landed and returned, and some medium Bass size Bass kept for the table but the sport was brilliant.

I know you all think Nic was kicking my butt earlier this week.. but I landed a cracker yesterday under the watchful eye of my old mate and mentor John Rawle, in this photo John can be seen (under the watchful eye of first mate Nicola..!) getting to grips with how Vanishing Point-2 works and the hope is even though John has officially retired, we will not lose this fishing icon to retirement but may see him out on either Vanishing Point, or Chinook-2, from time to time..??? back to my fish...! and with a quick photo was slipped back to fight another day..!! (I don't like fish to eat....yuck) but with so many fish out there you could be very selective on what one you wanted to keep.
These fish will still be there well into October, weather dependant, but if you want to have a go for these hard fighting fish, mostly for sport I must emphasise..... then call me on 07768306646 to work out dates, as sadly the tides don't always fall on a weekend, more likely it will be week days but it is tide and weather critical to get it right..!!
Tight lines...!! -

Well fishing aboard the Dawn Tide II is really busy at the moment and only to get better when the COD turn up very soon and the same for most river crouch charters Morgan m , Predator, ECT. hauls of skate coming out at the moment with many double figures. The bass are making there way further off shore had a trip out there last week 20+ bass biggest was 6 lb but there are some really big fish coming up like Tonys on the Morgan M 15.LB bass. Well this time last year we where getting plenty of COD just look back at last years reports well worth getting out and having ago as they are on there way you got to be in it to win it.
Well the River Crouch is proving to be one of the best Venues to be fishing from really up and coming venue has some of the best grounds in the Thames estuary / south east the grounds hold good amounts and sizes of fish like Cod to 34lb Bass to over 15lb Tope to 70+lb Hounds to 24+lb all this within under 1 hours reach and some top skippers and boats that all work together !!! you can't go wrong!!!
see you all out here very soon but book in advance as most boats fully booked now until 2017

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Bringing us up to date to weekend of 10/11 Sep 2017, have gone from catching some amazing tope action on the banks to last couple of weeks struggling as summer fish moving off and the dreaded winter whiting showing up! The odd decent smoothound still about and few spotty dogs inshore still and pictured here small roker caught by first timer on the Flyer Artur from Norwich returned for another day. We find these skate return for around a month and then disappear so hopefully will be getting a few from now on till weather turns and we see the codling return. If your planning a weekend trip for cod and need a Sat or Sun please get in as quite a few dates have gone already some partially booked as well dont leave it till last minute. We will try do more evenings this winter as weather allows as we dont have to go far and usually wind drops so look out for those, home by midnight leave about 6pm. So will see what happens rest of this month bit mish and mash but always is until then tight lines everyone. Jon (High Flyer)

Report on-board Morgan M Charters
well what a year this has been so far the skate fishing was unbelievable with most days averaging 80 skate a day with many trips producing well over 100. the smoothound fishing was pretty good as well with many days 8 people hooking up all at once very hectic with many fish over the 20lbs mark. the tope fishing wasn't bad with some of the crouch boats getting them to over 70lbs and the bass fishing has been good as well with most of the crouch and southend charter boats have had bass to well over double figures and. we have even had a go at the plaice and turbot this year with some crouch and southend boats having 35 a trip to well over 4lbs.no frills no spills no gimmicks just proper fishing. most crouch boats are taking bookings for 2017 . making the crouch and southend charter boats one of the premier destination for 2017.

Report on-board Chinook 3
The fishing over the last fortnight has improved with the start of the autumn influx of thornbacks.
View Boats Page
There have been good numbers of Smooth Hounds showing, these bigger female hounds are coming off the shallow water and are on their way out of the Estuary soon, however there are plenty of the smaller male hounds and these will be around until well into October.
There have been several good bass reported with some over 10 lb, these fish will be around well into the Autumn, September is a good time to catch these hard fighting fish as they shoal up before heading off for the winter, best baits are lug, rag and squid.
There are a lot more Thornbacks starting to show up, these smaller fish will spread to all areas during the autumn and will stay until after the New Year, depending on how cold it gets.
There are a few whiting starting to show, these fish will steadily increase in numbers as we get into the autumn with the Cod arriving around early October although the exact timing is dependent on water temperature.
Prospects are excellent with the next few weeks providing a real mix of summer and autumn fish.
