Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Nicola and I would just like to say...Wow..!!! thank you all that have logged on and emailed us with your enquiries, to book VP-2, the response has been truly amazing..!!
But as we said, we will not be back in Bradwell for a couple of weeks, so if you could bear with us just a little longer, so we dont take your booking and then because of weather, we are not back and have to disapoint you, we would rather just hang on a week or two more until we know the boat is tied up in her berth in Bradwell and ready to treat you all to the most prestigious charter boat opertaing around the country..!
I can see there are a lot of Codling about at the moment, which is a good sign of a great season to come, but looking at one report on this site, from a boat out of a local port, not too far away, and looking at the size of some of the Codling they are holding up.... that is not something I would be proud to show on any web-site even if the fish just about scrapes in at the leagal size limit, hey come on guys put the little fellows back to reach some sort of maturity please..!!!

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Hi chaps, Vanishing Point-2 is on her way back to Bradwell, she left Barrow on the 4/10/14 and has made a stop in Padstow, to have a new bow section fitted, and to do a bit of survey work at the port, but we should be done there in about a week of so, then we will continue our way to Bradwell, a home VP-2 has never seen.
Once we are back in Bradwell we will take a week or so to rig her for charter fishing, and then ready to welcome the many of you that have been tring to book her, and I am sure you will not be disapointed.
see you all real soon....

Report on-board PLAN B
Been a while since I updated , what a brilliant couple of months- not one cancellation due to weather, and loads of fish caught.
We are now catching a few codling and lots of whiting and dogs, plus loads of skate and the odd straggler smoothound.
The winter species will be around for the next few months and fingers crossed the weather is kind so we can get at them.
I still have a few dates left this side of Christmas so treat yourself to a trip View Boats Page
