Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
We had a cracking day today plenty of good quality fish, and very calm conditions and endless sunshine, a bit different from what some of the scaremongers were trying to forecast earlier in the week, and as I said ... you cannot say on Tuesday what the weather is going to do Friday or Saturday... you have to wait until the night before basically most of the time you could lose so many trips if people start posting screen shots of XC weather on a Monday which is invariably wrong..!!! forecasting doom and gloom for the coming week...!! the BBC weather is, these days as good as it gets, it's bang up to date at 6.30 pm every evening and then you have a good idea what the following day is going to be like.. these photos are just some of the fish we had inshore today (Friday 4/3/16)..... you don't have to go miles offshore, in fact you will more than likely go straight past the bulk of the fish..!! ...Any way sadly we are not out until Monday now bit of a slip up with the diary...Ooops..! but with the weather forecast for tomorrow and Sunday you will be fine if you stay North... but wrap up warm it will be bloody cold.!!!!!! Tight lines...

Report on-board Girl Mandy
Sorry if this offends but if i find out who the bloody idiot or group that has been spreading rumours about me or my business i will come down on them like a ton of bricks.Firstly i have not retired or died i intend to work until i can no longer do so, i have worked on the water in many different ways for the last 48 years and to hear of such crap being put about makes my blood boil. Secondly the tackle business that my son works in is not closing down the reasons the shop is shut on Tuesday and Wednesday until march has been down to the atrocious weather the we have been enduring the last few months and this has also stopped us going to sea for a good many weekends. I am not like some skippers that will take customers out regardless off conditions as do some skippers i know i enjoy my time afloat and i will not go for the sake of it i do hope this clears matters for those concerned and as the saying goes if you want the truth get it direct from the horses mouth not his ARSE until next time hopefully good fishing and tight lines

Report on-board PLAN B
The boat is having its annual service and tidy up at present.
Fishing has been pretty poor and weather dire but Spring is approaching fast and the summers species will soon be here. Last year we had loads of big big hounds and this year I am sure will be even better.
The boat is booking up fast so don't leave it too late . View Boats Page

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Happy to report we got out to sea yesterday with the wind blowing at 25 mph W-SW but we did have both wind and tided together so it was no problem.
We started quite well with a Thornback Ray of about 7lbs from the front of the boat ans then it was quite steady after that, not manic, but a fish coming to the boat at regular intervals, which is a lot better than it has been of late, what with one storm after another, and the sheer lack of fish, it has been a bit of a struggle.
But now spring is in the air, and there is a real movement of fish coming in once again, I think the lean times are over... unless we get a severe amount of late snow, then that will hold back the influx of fish, but hopefully that wont happen and we can get back to what we do best....THAT'S FISHING, AND OF COURSE NOW CLAY SHOOTING..!!!

Report on-board Chinook 3
The fishing has improved with a big influx of skate, we caught 40 on tues from an offshore mark and i had a report from Lester on Seawatch who had similar numbers inshore yesterday, the cod are still up in the water but there are less herring around and we should soon start to see the cod back on the ground.

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Yesterday (9th Feb) the sun was shinning, and the wind had dropped to around 18 mph so we took a couple of people out on Vanishing Point-2 to try out the fully installed clay shooting equipment, shooting gallery and safety barrier.
I am glad to say that all went well and we are fully operational.
We do now have a 20 bore shotgun for our female clients which is considerably lighter that the 12 bore.
Here in the photos you can see various shots of yesterdays event, starting with a sequence of instructions from loading, to passing the gun, to controlled firing, and a few photos of myself just showinf off..!!!
Looks like we might actually get out at the weekend, and the wind is going round to the North so Clacton here we come...lol but seriously I have had quite a few phone calls asking me how the fishing is?? well the honest short answer is I don't know..! as like everyone else we have not been out for what seems like an eternity, so I guess we will find out on Saturday...!!!
But as always when the wind goes round to the north, it brings with it a very cold air stream.... Brrrrr..! so wrap up warm guys, and yes the wheelhouse will be kept to around 70 degrees all day so you will be able to get some rest bite from the cold if you need to.
Ok then ...... tight lines and Hot guns....!!! View Boats Page

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Still the wind blows...Arggh,,!! when will it ever stop.???
Well with trips cancelled yet again, Friday ,Saturday< Sunday, and now Monday... it makes you appreciate how the skippers down South feel, with a vast amount of their trips cancelled year on year through bad weather, it is not something we are used to, and I don't want too either, it's driving me bonkers, if this is global; warming you can stick it..!! give me back the cold frosty winters, the foggy Octobers, put up with the March winds, and April showers, but this constant bloody wind it doing my head in.!!!
Well on lighter note...(not though we can get out and do any) the boat is now fully set up for Clay Pigeon Shooting, so when the weather breaks, we will pop out in the Estuary and give it a go, might even have a promotion day and if enough people contact me, run a mid-week clay shooting special special ...
As a suggestion from one of our customers, we will also have a 20 bore shotgun for the ladies or younger shooters if they prefer..!
But for now, we will just have to watch the weather and pray for a settled spell so we can get some fishing in.....
Ok Guys n Gals...... Tight lines and Hot Guns..! View Boats Page
