Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
The weekend was good on Saturday with my old mate Mark Smith and his mates out with us, weather was good, we fished for Smoothounds for the first part of the day, then went shallow for Bass for the next part.

the Hounds were quite good sport with young Zoe landing the biggest one at around 12 lbs, but the Bass although they were there, didn't really kick off like we had hoped.
There were some cashing bites, but by the time the rod was picked up and struck, the fish was long gone..! one or two of our anglers, did it right and held the rods, and as soon as the Bass hit they were on it..!! now that's the way to catch these fast swimming predatory fish..!
They were not the biggest Bass in the world but big enough, and in just 4 feet of water go like grease lightning.!!.
Sunday 5th July what a difference, from the hot sunny day 24 hour previously, we woke up to cloud, drizzle,
so we set off with the same agenda in mind, yeah we got a few hounds, not so easy as the day before due to the conditions, then and low water we went shallow for Bass but with the weather against us, wind over tide, some slapping of waves on the hull, so a bit of noise, we didn't have a great deal of luck on the Bass front a few but not great.
But typical for that kind of day, after the lads poking up with crap weather all day, wind and driving rain, but no moans or groans...!!! UNTIL, we got back to Bradwell in the birth, the sun came out, the wind fell away, blue sky, and quickly became very hot....... is some one having a laugh...!!!! lol
But that's fishing for you, man verses the elements.
