Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi Guys n Ga'ls,
well I have just updated the CBUK diary, and have just started taking bookings in earnest for fishing now.
I did have to re-update the diary several times, as people were phoning in to book spaces as I was trying to update.... Crazy, but very nice though, thank you guys.
You will obviously see a lot of green marks in the diary indicating the whole boat is available, as after having been away for the best part of Five years, we didn't want to start promising our customers dates we were not sure we could fulfil, or if we would even be back..!! so we have just opened the book today..!! and from the one charter we ran, as a test drive a couple of week ago, the party said the Vanishing Point-2 really had the
X factor, thanks guys.!!!
Well if you want to call us to make your booking, you can reach us on ... 07768 30 66 46 or 01621 786 170
Ok, everyone, thanks again and hope to see you all soon..
Dates have started to go..Thank you guys.... keep em coming!
Tight lines....... Terry & Nicola..

The fishing in March has carried on much the same as February with some good catches of codling to four pounds in our area,the last set of spring tides saw them push back up the river Blackwater giving some sport on the windier days for some of the boats.With the weather turning a bit more like spring there have been a few more Thornback rays being caught,these will increase all the time now and with the codling should provide some excellent sport in the next few weeks before winter finally gives way to summer.

Report on-board Galloper
February was another busy month aboard the ‘Galloper’. Unfortunately we have lost a couple of trips the last week or so which is unusual for us. Thankfully the weather in the early part of the month more than made up for it with some cracking days giving us a glimpse of early spring. the effect of the cold weather from last month has been lower numbers of thornbacks than we have seen at this time over the last few years. Although the slight rise in temperature has already got them moving again and I’m sure they will be back on track in the next few weeks. With the better weather we were able to push a little further than usual at this time of year and found a nice stamp of fish on our general trips. The average numbers were 20-40 codling a trip with several in the 3-4lbs range. There were a few whiting and the odd ray thrown in to make up the numbers. We did manage one offshore trip in search of some better cod. The cold weather had even had an effect here which resulted in far fewer dogfish than is normally the case. This was by no means a bad thing meaning our baits were left alone until something decent found them. We didn’t set the world on fire but found some nice fish. Arthur had the biggest ray of around 12lbs and Wayne had the biggest cod at 9.15lbs. to be honest the had the lions share of the days catch between them. As I mentioned the dogfish were thin on the ground with a dozen of them thrown in. I half expected to see a spurdog but we didn’t get any to the boat that day. Hopefully they will show on our next venture off there.
Over the coming weeks we should see the numbers of roker pick up as the temperature rises and these will undoubtedly be joined by the dogfish. The codling should be on the feed too before they move off next month. On our last trip they seemed to be feeding harder, with far more fish deep hooked. I update my site very regularly so for more information, available dates and reports please visit www.essexseafishing.co.uk or call 07956411528 View Boats Page

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi guys, well Saturday saw the first group of anglers to come aboard the new Vanishing Point-2, and at 5 am in the morning, when the party boarded, the vast wheelhouse was already heated to 70 degrees, and after comments of..wow..!! corr..! bloody hell...!! "this is like a cruise ship and fishing boat all rolled into one.."
One guy said.... "this must be what heaven is like" lol so I think we can say VP-2 has the X-factor, as was anticipated.
With such huge tides, we couldn't fish in the area where we would have liked to have gone, the tide would have run way to hard, and I doubt the angles would be able to hold bottom, but once the fish started coming on in shore, it remained fairly consistent till high water, when it was time for us to depart, given such an early start, ....
So if any of you guys fancy trying out the latest £700,000.00 charter boat, give me a call on 07768 30 66 46 and book you place for a truly great day out View Boats Page

It's a couple of months since my last report and after an excellent start to the new year with some good catches of codling we had a some large shoals of spats show up in the Thames estuary and the codling gorged themselves for a two weeks, consequently they ignored our baits and we had a few quiet trips.However the spats seem to have dispersed a bit now and with the weather being kind to us we have had a few good trips with up to ninety codling up to four pound being caught in a day and one or two Thornbacks to double figures.
All in all it looks like things are shaping up for some very good spring fishing,so if you want to fill the freezer and have some fun at the same time give me a call.

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi guys n gals, well at last Vanishing Point-2 will hit the water tomorrow..!! (Monday 9th Feb) and will be back in Bradwell sometime Tuesday/Wednesday and after sea trials be ready to start charter fishing as from next weekend.
So if you want to see what all the fuss has been about, come down and see us on-board and have a cuppa, and a chat about making your bookings, and take a look round if we are on the boat, best call us first if you want to meet on the boat, on ..07768 30 66 46 and we will arrange to show you around the vessel, which we firmly believe is the biggest, fastest, most expensive and luxurious large Catamaran operating today at over £700,000 to build, nothing was spared on this boat, as will be obvious when you see her.
I understand there are a showing of sprats at the moment, so hopefully that wont impact to greatly on our fishing, although it wont help that's for sure, but we usually winkle something out.
Well, Nicola and I are very excited, and cant wait to see you all that have already booked VP-2 we are now just rigging her with all the tackle needed to start fishing again.
We would just like to a huge thank you to all our very loyal customers who have come back to us in droves, you have made Nic and I feel very special..... thank you and see you very soon.. Tight Lines..!!
