Happy new year First trip back for 2018,
Been a windy spell last 2weeks so not many of us made it out there lately, been bit of an improvement on the fishing with some nice double figure rays( 6.2kg one in pic for Edd) these will get more plentifull as the weeks go by, few codling in the 2/3lb bracket showing so maybe this year we will have a spring run!! fair run of nice whitings and some reasonable dabs on the small tides or slack water, not so many herring about now and no sign of
Sprats schooling so all looking a bit better out there , Tight lines chris.

Report on-board Chinook 3
Happy new year to everyone. Well we have had some really horrible weather over the holiday period but it is nice to get back into a routine of sorts.
We have not managed to get out for a fortnight so it was a relief to finally get a trip in this Saturday. Well the good news is that there are still some codling around although there are not many, we managed five on Saturday up to 2lb with all the other boats reporting a few.
What was encouraging was a return of some nice big female Thornbacks which we have not seen inshore since the spring, these females have eggs in and should be returned to the sea but it does mean there are more decent fish to catch along with the chance of a cod. All the other boats also reported several nice Thornbacks.
There are plenty of nice whiting still around in all areas although they do leave the Estuaries over the new year, the piers and shore marks will still produce right through the Winter.
There are some lovely dabs in the Estuaries with several fish reported at over 30cm, these tasty little flatties are easily caught using paternoster rigs fished up and down rather than casting, small baits of worm, squid or herring work well.
Prospects as always in the winter depend on lots of factors, water temperature, abundance of Herring or Sprat and numbers of Cod but there are some nice fish to be caught and the past few Januaries have been quite good fishing so don't give up on it, have a day out and enjoy it. View Boats Page

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
At this time Of year when many charter boat on the South coast are sadly blown off because of the weather, although we don't have the same amount of species they do on the Essex coast we do have very sheltered waters that hold Whiting, Codling, Pouting, Thornback Rays, and lot's of inshore
e Dab's, and virtually never have to cancel to weather... so if you are serious about getting out and don't want to be cancelled call Vanishing Point-2 one of the largest Catamarans in the UK fleet in the River Blackwater in Essex for a trip un-spoilt by the weather.
Even on these bitter cold days with wind chill factor of -3 outside the temperature inside her massive wheelhouse is kept to 67 degrees all day long so no need to freeze yer whats-it's off...
So if your interested in having an un-spoiled non-disappointed trip on one the UK's premier charter boat:
Call: Terry 07768306646
( and as far as I am aware we are the only sports charter boat licenced to do Clay pigeon shooting)
So that number again..... 07768306646 GREAT CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING DAY OUT View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Scott Belbin
on Galloper (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Nov 2017 by Scott Belbin
Report on-board Galloper
As ever its been a while since my last report on here. This autumn has been promising as expected. Its been an improvement on last year (which isn’t too hard). As im sure you will have gathered from other reports from this area. The last few weeks have seen us catching codling on all but one trip. They are mostly small and we’ve seen between 1 and 3 per trip which is alwost as many in a trip as the whole of last season! There are currently heaps of whiting keeping us busy in the between and although as ever the majority are small there is the odd bigger one around too. The colder weather has thinned out the bulk of the thorn-back rays and dogfish. However we are still scratching a few together to mix in with the rest of the days catch. The last set of tides saw the return of the dabs, the lads had a few hours fishing for them with 10-15 per angler coming out. These add to the relatively varied catches we are seeing at the moment and make a great standby for a windy winters day.
We are available right through the winter and have spaces throughout December and January. We are lucky enough to have plenty of sheltered places to fish so if your keen to get out there’s no need to cancel.
Ive added a few pictures to my page on here of some of the codling we have seen so far. They aren’t monsters but it should give you an idea of what’s coming out.
