Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well with the Thornback Rays that were boated yesterday many triple hook up's it is ...fun fun fun all the way.
It is most important when there are this many fish being boated, that you keep a level head on how many fish are taken for the pot..!!
I say this because it's so easy to bash these lovely fish over the head, then after a couple of hour you realise there may be 20 fish in the box..!! but then the realisation that these fish have to be gutted, and skinned and most anglers, either cant do the preparation, or are unwilling to do the preparation, then you end up with the situation with a boat load of dead fish that gave a great days sport laying dead and I have seen from my seat in the past from my CCTV stern cameras anglers throwing dead fish over the back of the boat thinking no one saw what just happened..!!
I think a lot of angler's should be very grateful on our boat (Vanishing Point-2) Nicola is always on hand to help with processing the fish, but I do think guys take advantage of her..!!! trip after trip they play the old card.
.WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO GUT AND SKIN THESE NIC, CAN YOU DO THEM..!! well this is going to stop now, she will be on hand to advise you , but you will have to get stuck in and do the gutting and skinning yourself, unless like one or two of our anglers are elderly and unsteady on their feet, or disabled then of course Nicola will always continue to prepare your fish for you but if you just cant be asked to gut and skin them..... then throw them back to fight again...!!
Sorry if I sound a bit off, I don't meant to sound grumpy I just want anglers to take responsibility for their catches
and there is a sense off I think achievement, ... baiting, casting, catching and finally dealing with the catch to take home...!!! and once you have done a few Skate you will find it is not so easy, thats when you will start thinking of returning some of you fish.... as seen in the photo..
Rant over.......lol......... Tight lines everyone

What a lovely day yesterday (Sunday 3rd April) didn't sadly get the last 2 spaces filled but we sailed into the sunshine with expectations high.
I must admit, we got to the mark with about an hour of flood tide left, but we only saw one roker...! and from the sound of it quite a few boats were struggling..??? which was very different to the last few days, as all boats big and small couldn't go wrong, not sure what happened???.
But once the ebb tide got away things were still a bit slow the odd one here and there, so we moved a mile or so East but was no better??? so up anchor yet again and moved to a new patch of soft ground not too far from where we were on Friday and bingo that's where the little devils were hiding, then we got into a steady stream of good fish coming over the side, and still wondered why it was so different to the last few days?? we were not out on Saturday as me and Nic were at a wedding, but from what the other boys said it had been every bit as good as the last few days..!! so it was a bit of a shock not to fall straight on them again... but that's Roker fishing for you.....lol
Congrats to Gareth for catching the first Smoothound, jammy git...lol good job he had a good skipper to put him right over the mark....lol nice one Ray Martin
Photo inset is of my good friend Andy easy, and his dad Allen...... well done lads
well we are still looking for a few anglers for this coming Wednesday 6th April, so if anyone wants to come on the trip just call me on....... 07768306646 View Boats Page

A fantastic day out on Vanishing Point-2....!!
the boys started catching Skate from the first 30 minutes of there day and didn't stop catching until 1 minute before the anchor was lifted.. and finished with a lovely 15 pounder..!!
So many fish landed in brilliant sunshine, calm seas, and great company... charter fishing does not get better than this....!! thank you to all the boys from the Rowell Charter pub in Kettering.
6 off the boys were locked in fierce competition over the long slack water in Clay Pigeon shooting..!!! but young Harry (16yrs) won the vanishing Point-2 TOP GUN trophy, with a good score of 15 out of 25 clays smashed,,,,, well done mate good shooting, but a close finish for second place to land-lord Phil, winning Silver, and Rob a well placed Bronze...! by just one Clay.... so close mate.. may be next time..
We still have places for Sunday if anyone is interested, just call .... 07768306646.
Well done everyone for today.... tight lines see you on the next trip.....!!! View Boats Page
