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 Vanishing Point-2
Some good Bass being caught at the moment on the right tides, and some good Smoothounds also being caught, but now starting to thin out..!!
The Thornback Rays are starting to move back inshore, can’t believe another years is almost done.
We would like to thank all our clients for coming back to the new Vanishing Point-2 in droves after our 6 years absence from fishing while we were off working on the wind farms, so it has taken a year for us to prove to you all we are not returning to the wind farm work, and now sticking with the charter fishing, shooting and diving… making us the premier Sport Charter vessel in the UK, unrivalled by any other…!!!
If you want to try to get on this $1,000,000.00 (1 Million Dollar) Sport’s Charter vessel for a most unforgettable day, just call….. 07768306646. Or 01621 786 170. View Boats Page

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

Report on-board Chinook 3
The fishing over the last fortnight has improved with the start of the autumn influx of thornbacks.
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.

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
We didn't go this weekend with high winds and monster tides against the wind all day it was decided that fishing is something to be enjoyed not endured,,! and it was a decision our parties were happy with, as I know if I had said we were going they would have turned up, but it is not all about the money..
We have had some great fishing over the last week though hound to just shy of 20 lbs, Bass to 4 & 5 lbs and we had the pleasure of our good old friend Nigel Farage out with us on Tuesday, recovering from his 17 year long hard fought campaign with Europe, and if you look closely at the photos you can see Nigel sporting his new fishing rod his friend made for him made in
UKIP colours and put it to good use.
Nigel's son Tom is a very accomplished angler, and grabbed glory right at the end, of the day ( chip off the old block) with a good 14 lbs Smoothound and with the rest of the guests on board were treated to the most fantastic lunch put on by my very good friend and crewman Colin Pryor, it was a luncheon fit for a King..! many thanks Colin.
Well when the boys did some Clay shooting Nigel was quite good, but got his butt kicked by his son Tom ...lol it was a great day with great friends ending as we always do at the pub..! yes we all went round to the Green Man in Bradwell Waterside to see our very good landlord Micheal who welcomed us all, and cheekily got Mr Farage to pull a pint,
,(which he was as good at pulling a pint as well as drinking it..!)
The rest of the week was just as productive with lots of good fish in the right places.... Tight lines View Boats Page

Fishing has been excellent with more big hounds on the Chinook 3, best at 16.5 lb on saturday. As the tides take off this week there should be more great action with the hounds.
