Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Just a quick message to all our anglers, sorry for the delay in getting Vanishing Point-2 (our brand new vessel) home to Bradwell, but after we finished our operations in the Irish sea in November, the winter Atlantic storms were brewing, and the sea state has made it unsafe to make the 700 nautical mile journey home to Essex.
We are looking at the middle of March now to get her home to Bradwell, so thank you all so much for your continued support and constant phoning to try to book you trips on VP-2 it is really appreciated..!! But Nicola & I won’t keep you waiting much longer until the big Cat comes to a home port she has never seen yet..! Very exciting we can’t wait to show her off to you all, and hope you will be as impressed with this ultra-fine vessel as we are….. Until March then……Tight lines
Terry & Nic…

Today we had a 3 hour trip booked for John and Rob. Once the anchor was down Rob started us off with the first couple of whiting and then had his first cod while John stayed very quiet biding his time before catching 3 cod up to the high water. A lovely still calm day producing a total of 4 cod and 2 whiting for 3 hours

Today's 4 hour fishing trip started off with a few whiting then all went quiet for a while before Stuart caught a cod. As we were on a 4 hour trip but had to travel a fair distance due to being a neap low water it meant we only got 2 hours fishing time so had to go in shortly after Stuart caught his cod. We ended with 1 cod and 8 whiting

November
Cod fishing offshore was slow to start this year but they are ther now seeing many around 8 to 9lb
With a few bigger ones showing up from time to time. As the water cools more will show still bit slow at times but worth waiting it out as ther has been 3 over 20s out the last few weeks on live baits plenty of nice size rokar coming up and lots of whiting too skipper mark peters View Boats Page

Today I had 2 people on a 4 hour trip. It was a little slow to start with just a few whiting caught by Nina and John unfortunately wasn't catching much. As we got to.the to of the tide Nina was in with a cod whivh put up a lovely fight and shortly after on the first of the ebb I caught a cod too. John caught a few whiting and then caught a little dab. 2 cod, 1 dab and 9 whiting today in total, not quite as good as the last few trips but better luck next time.
