Report on-board PLAN B
Been a while since last report . Fishing has gone a bit quiet
Last couple of trips but luckily I have found the mackerel
Shoals and we have enjoyed catches of 100 and more per trip
Also numerous bass but all small sadly.
The weed has been a bit of a problem but if you persevere the fish are there View Boats Page

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
With the weather being so kind to us we have managed some long off-shore trips to have a go at Plaice fishing, which is almost unheard of off the Essex coast, but we have found them, the Bass, mackerel, launts and sand Eel's, all the what we needed to track down the elusive Plaice ...!!
We ran two trips out for Plaice, on Monday and Tuesday, both were good days, and everyone caught Plaice which was good..! and Mackerel was no trouble.
My good old mate Paul Nichols decided to put on a Mackerel strip, and promptly landed a nice 5 lbs Bass, so he was pleased ...
We are running several more trips out (weather depending) so If you want to have a go for these lovely flat fish just give me and Nicola a call..... 07768306646

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
well in our usual july marks there are plenty of mackerel around again and thats good as its a top bait this time of year the hounds are showing to 16lb but very weedy where we are getting them so its is a bit of a pain good number though. bass to 9 lb coming up on squid or mackerel smaller ones on the worm but several a trip still. skate are stacking in numbers again and loving mackerel bait.
We started looking further afield about 30mile for some plaice and turbot there are good numbers of plaice there the last few time we have been along with the odd turbot plenty sand eel and mackerel and the odd bass chucked in there are some big wrecks over there aswel that throw up pollock cod and bass so I'm looking to do some 16 hour trips split days half drifting for plaice and turbot and the other half dropping live sand eel or shads down on the wrecks for pollock cod and bass call me for details
thanks

Report on-board Hard Labour
after a change from the regular thames species the hard labour crew set sail for something different
after a 4am start and a 5 hour steam we arrived at our first mark and it was plaice and turbot from the start
nothing huge but all keepers
along with the flatties came a steady stream of gurnard/ weavers /mackerel and sandeels
then mark latched on to something better a...20lb blonde ray !!!
mid afternoon saw us put into a south coast port for a well earned beer and steak supper
day two saw us back on the same grounds the weather was much more agreeable with nice straight drift lines
and it was fish from the start !!!
this time we had some lovely turbot and plaice and I had lovely brill ...and some truly huge mackerel ..
back into port that evening with a well satisfied crew !!!
day three we tried a couple of wrecks which were full of Pollock pouting and small codling
so it was one last drift for the flatties before we headed home and another 5 turbot and a nice brill for steve
midday we swung the bows for home with around 80 turbot and plaice for the weekend we were well pleased
as well as the amount of species
turbot plaice dab brill mackerel scad sandeel Pollock cod gurnard blonde ray pouting weaver .....and dogfish!!
so after almost 200 sea miles for the weekend we arrived back in wallasea sunday afternoon ...knackered!!!!
