Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
I think fishing means different things to everyone, it's not for me to judge who is right and who is wrong?? fishing is a personal sport and we all make personal choices, which I firmly believe that no one should try to push their believes on anyone else.
I remember many years ago, 60 years to be honest... ( I can't believe I am 64) it's like I am writing this through my granddads eyes...! but I was just 4 years old when my dad and granddad took me sea fishing, I can still remember the excitement I felt, with my rod in hand, my heart beating that little bit faster and couldn't wait to get my bait on the hook and my line wet.
Then there was the waiting... and the waiting,,,, and so on, but eventually, the rod tip moved..!! and it started bending rapidly and yes.!! there it was my first sea fish, a little Flounder, and from that day to this I have been hooked.
Now again, this is just my personal opinion, we have good years and not such good years with the fish stocks, and the weather all playing a part, but for me, all fish are special they all need catching, weather you fish for the pot, or purely for the sport of it as I do, (mainly due to the fact I don't like fish to eat) so for me it's the hunt, weather it is, a Cod, Smoothound , Tope, Mackerel, right down to the smaller species, whiting, dabs, Flounders, on very light tackle they are all good sport and good fun, and that's what I think is sometimes missing.... Fun.. sometimes it all gets a bit to serious.
You know, I still get that feeling inside at my age, as I did all those years ago when I first started fishing, the felling of excitement, and the anticipation of what I might catch, and that first cast of the day, which I know will be a great day...!!! and you know why?? coz I'm fishing.
Me and Nicola are blessed with the job we do, being paid to do the sport we love, it don't get better than that, weather the fish are big, or small. it's all just fishing, love it for what it is......I know sentimental old fool... well if that's what people think of me, then guilty as charged, but as soon as this dreadful Easter weather subsides, I will be out there..... baiting casting, and waiting, and hoping that rod tip, nods once again... what ever it may be.....
Thanks for reading ...... Tight lines, boys & girls.. View Boats Page

Boat has been out of water for past month and will be ready to work again any time shortly.

Hi chaps, we were out yesterday (Tuesday 22/3/16) what a great day, not only did the sun shine from the time we left Bradwell but until the time we got back.
We had some great chefs on board, and they brought with them home made Indian spicy Sag... emmmmm..!! wonderful, but these guys are not of Indian persuasion but as English as you and me... just great cooks, and there was more than enough to go round for all 9 on board ...
But..... back to fishing... it was a spring tide and it sure did run hard, but we found the best of the fish was in the best of the water (in the deeper water) when we went up shallow they just had not pushed up as you might expect, so we pulled the anchor and dropped 300 yards to the North off the edge, and bang..!! there they were again, and we fished the tide right up to the top, and while waiting for the ebb we did some Clay pigeon shooting and the slack water time just flew bye, and before I knew it the tide had turned and one of the guys who was fishing at the bow, was screaming for the net...!!!! then it was gun away, and on with fishing....lol I'm not say we had some really bad shooters on the boat...!! but all I will say, is that many of the Clays went back in the water totally unharmed,,,, lol
There was a good mix of big and small Thorn Back Rays, and a good mix of male, and female fish and some were kept for the table, and some were retuned, but I leave that up to the angler to decide, I only step in if the size looks too small then there is no discussion.... it goes back, but to be fair most of the guys only keep a couple each for eating and the rest go back,
Well as yet the best day of the Easter weekend in Friday, and we are not booked...!! so if you want to get some of this action give us a call on ... 07768306646 View Boats Page

Well we were out yesterday (Tuesday 22/3/16) and had a good day, the sun shone from the time we left until the time we got back, and a nice lot of Thornback Ray and big Whiting in the mix.
We were amazed with such big spring tides, and hard run, that the best of the fishing remained in the deeper water, usually the fish tend to go up shallow, out of the hard run, but when we went shallow.... nothing..!! so we dropped back into the deeper, and there they were.
There was a good mix of sizes, and a good mix of male and female fish, some were kept for the table and some returned, but that is a decision that the angler has to make I only intervene if the fish looks under size then without discussion the fish goes back.
STOP PRESS: THE VANISHING POINT-2 IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS FRIDAY (EASTER FRIDAY) AND ALSO AVAILABLE EASTER BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY...!!! PHONE.... 07768306646 IF YOU WANT OT FISH OVER EASTER.........TIGHT LINES View Boats Page
