Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
What a day...!! total cock up on the forecast, but we fished through the wind and tide to have a great days fishing.
We had some regulars and to new guys from Hungry, and had never done sea fishing before, and they listened to what we had to tell them, and before you know it they were casting multiplier reels all by them self, and catching Thornback Rays one after the other..... Well done George and Ben..!!
Well with old friends Trevor, George, Ken, Paul, Dave & Andy...!! everyone fished together, and everyone helped each other, it was a terrific day had by all, I lost count toward the end of the day but we must have boated in the region of 50 Skate, with some kept, and lots returned.
Considering it was supposed to be the best day weather wise of the weekend, it sure was chilly in the North East wind....Burrrr..... but as I am writing this report, the sun is shinning, the wind has dropped away, so may be tomorrow will be the day we should have had today..!!!!
Well we will be doing the same for tomorrow and we might have a look for one or two hounds if the weather is right..!!

Report on-board Seawatch1
Six weeks since my last report and I'm pleased to say the fishing in our area has been fantastic with the codling still with us in numbers until the end of April and so many Thornbacks I have lost count of how many on some days,with the better days producing in excess of seventy rays.Still a few codling being taken in all areas over the last few weeks, but no numbers any more ( All good things have to come to an end eventually)
Today weather was fine so we had a look offshore and ignored the rays,found some codling to six pounds,a few small hounds and best of all approx 30 bass,most of them in the 2 to 3lb bracket but one nice fish of 9lb 8oz,a nice Red Gurnard and of course a few rays(they are everywhere) All in all a great days sport and a good time to be fishing in the Thames Estuary.

Hi Guys,
well we had a lovely day today, weather was fantastic, fishing was very good, plenty of Skate caught, Smoothound, and LSD's....
We did pop offshore for the first of the flood to see if we could connect with any Bass, but we didn't get any, didn't really have the right bait, no king rag, all we had was Hermit Crab, and squid, but that only threw up Roker and Hounds...
But we moved back inshore and carried on getting Skate.
Catch up soon guys..
Tight lines............!!

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well off early tomorrow, weather looking good for the next new few days..!!!
The plan is to pick up Hermit Crab pot we put out on Sunday, then depending what is or isn't in it will depend on what we do for the day.
I have had a few messages from friends of "Terry Batt Fishing" unknown personally, but now I have made their acquaintance by email, and I find a great comfort in what they had to say to me, so thank you guys, I really appreciate you contacting me with levels of support of that of old friends..!!! .
But looking at reports from other web-sites it sounds like the Hounds are starting to show up all over the place..!!.
I will let you know after tomorrows trip what we did, and what was the target species....

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Just a quick update.... we now have our pots out to catch Hermit crabs so if all goes well over the next few days, Thursday is looking good on the weather front, so we may well go for Bass on the hard run of the tide, then when it backs off, we may put the Hermits to good use and have a crack at the hounds...
Thursdays trip is full now, but if you act quick we have just had 2 spaces become available on Saturday's trip.
Here is a tip if you are fishing off you own boat....... if you are fishing for Thornback Ray's, using squid and you are getting plagued with doggies, change your bait to Herring, and I doubt you will see one, we did this yesterday, and we didn't see a doggie all day.......... Yeah..!!!! for Herring.
Ok guys, very busy this week, but me and Nicola would just like to say a huge thank you for so many of you that are now coming back to us after being away for so long, and all the new parties that have seen us out in the Blackwater estuary and have made enquiries to book vanishing Point-2 up, that is GREAT...!!!! thanks everyone.....!!!
Tight lines............ see you soon!! View Boats Page

Hi all,
well another good day had by my party to day, with a lot of fish boated..!! and looking to book up immediately for the rest of the summer..!!! Yay me..!!
I have heard on the grapevine, that someone (unknown to me) is doubting the posting I put on here on Wednesday, about the Smoothound fishing we had, apparently me and two pals, didn't catch 30 plus hounds up to 15lbs..!!!!! well either I am a liar, which I most certainly am not, or the more plausible scenario is...!! whoever is putting this about is clearly someone who is not capable of finding these fish for himself, so assumes like a twatt that no one else can find them, I think people shouldn't judge others by their own failings..... sad really.
But as I said earlier this week, if anyone want to fish for these lovely big hounds, I would be happy
( if you don't mind putting a little extra money in the pot for fuel) to take you to this undisclosed mark and give you a day to remember... They are there, I assure you...!!!

Hi Guys
we just had 12 novice angler on today, and they were just so pleased at the fact most had never been on a boat before, let alone fished from one..!!! but under the careful guidance of me and Nicola, they listened well and learned to wait for the bites, and they had over 40 Thornback rays and a lovely 4lbs Codling, so everyone went home happy..... just how we like it.
Tomorrow we will be targeting more Thornback Rays, and still looking for the odd Codling that are late leavers....!!!! along with the early Bass which are starting to get about...
Just a foot not: they returned most of the fish back to fight another day, fantastic..!!
Tight lines.....!
