Report on-board Girl Mandy
Due to some Tossers cancelling at the last moment this bank holiday Monday the 29th the boat is now vacant for a booking,people seem to think that we run a charity i can tell you we dont, the organiser cant really be blamed he has been with me before and no problems but a group that work with him wanted to go desperately so no deposit was taken and its come back to bite me in the arse they have gone into work double money but not for me so if anyone would like a day out just email or text i will ring you straight back many thanks for all the genuine anglers that do wish to get out fishing till next time deposits taken for a easier life lol

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Oh by the way..... I forgot to mention we are now running evening or day Bird watching trips, and trips to see our seal colony which is growing year on year, we sometimes have them come right up to the diving platform and feed them with herring, it's lovely to get up close and personal to these lovely mammals..
As the day starts to settle down and the sea birds are coming in for the evening roost we have had bird enthusiast so excited at some of the species they have spotted as we come in for a days fishing charter, and it was suggest to us that we have a resource on our doorstep that we are not making use of.
So if you are someone who has a love of wildlife and birds, Seals, and are interested in viewing these amazing creatures from this amazing $ 1 million dollar vessel with every facility you could want on a boat seating 14 persons in suspension aircraft seats, heated passenger accommodation in the colder months to 70 degrees, charging facilities for you cameras and video recorders, aircraft type toilet and wash room, tea coffee, and Hot chocolate, available and a viewing area on calm days aloft on the fly-bridge..
If you or if you are part of a club are interested please call for prices and availability..

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well we had a good friend of our on the boat Tuesday, James R Hearn, not only is James a great fisherman, he is a fantastic singer regularly seen at Potters leisure in Hopton on Sea, but sometimes on tour with the European Rat Pack show as Dean Martin... fabulous..!!
But back to fishing, James brought a lovely bunch of guys with him on Tuesday, it was his birthday treat ..!!
ans we didn't stop laughing from start to finish and with the wind blowing at 23 mph Northerly we couldn't get to the Smoothounds sadly, but love em or not we had a splendid day on the Thornback Rays many into double figures, we had over 30 fish boated, and a select few were kept for the table and others returned to have their young and fight another day.
A few Bass are showing up now, even though we are not allowed to keep any so they all go back alive, but they still make great sport and I think personal satisfaction when you land one of the hardest fish to land, because if you, or your tackle are not up to it, chances are you will come second and lose it, so yeah... I think Bass even though at the moment are not keep-able, they still are well worth fishing for, and it will hone your fishing skills. so when the 1st July comes, and you are allowed to keep one Bass each, you will be ready for
them.
As you can see if you have looked at the videos, the Clay shooting is picking up pace now, and we are seeing some real talent on the gun, but it does not have to be serious, it's a goon social addition to the day out, you don't have to be at Olympic standard...lol if you hit 11 or 12 clays most times that will be in the running for the TOP GUN trophy or a silver or bronze medal, but take a look and see for yourself.
We do have bank holiday Monday available if anyone want to come out and try out the facilities, so if you call us on ...07768306646 we will get you in the diary....... Tight lines..!! . View Boats Page

Fishing Report by LESTER BAKER
on Seawatch1 (Brightlingsea, Essex)
May 2016 by LESTER BAKER
Report on-board Seawatch1
Although already well documented by other boats in our area at last there is something to report that does not include the plague of Thornback rays we have had in the Thames estuary for the last eight weeks.Joking apart the ray fishing has been spectacular again this spring with 50 fish normal and a hundred plus not that unusual, best baits have been squid and herring with the herring having the edge on most days.As most of you know the spring cod run was a non event in our area this year so the rays provided some very welcome sport for our anglers.
The last week or two has seen the weather warming up and the summer species have started to feature more in the daily catches with some excellent Bass and Hounds,no monsters yet on Seawatch but several bass to low doubles on worm and peeler baits and some medium hounds up to 12lbs on hermit crabs and squid, one of the Bradwell boats reporting some larger hounds slightly further offshore so they are on the way..
There have also been some reports in the last few days of some early Mackerel which everyone enjoys catching and will hopefully help with bait for the Tope trips we have booked next month.
All in all a great time to be fishing in the Thames estuary with some great mixed fishing on offer.
Good fishing and all the best,Lester View Boats Page

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Another great day out with the boys from Canvey and surrounding areas with a good mornings sport on big Smoothounds, and the afternoon on big Thornbacks the boys were kept busy...
40 hounds to 13.5 lbs and 31 skate to 12.5 lbs gave these boys a good work out.
We were so busy on the boat we didn't have time to make tea or coffee ... small price to pay for 5 star fishing.
See you guys on Thursday at the Islander fish restaurant on Canvey, where Phil & Bruno will perpair some of the finest Fish and chips you will ever taste ...
Tight lines guys.... great day..... Terry & Nicola View Boats Page
