    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Hi everyone..... well Vanishing Point-2 departed Bradwell marina at 0800, with the rain teaming down and the sea was as flat as glass...!!! nothing could dampen the spirit of our new party...!! they were right up for it.

    With experienced and novice anglers on board, we (Nicola) helped set up the rods, and pre-pair for what was to be a really good days fishing.

    Once we picked our spot, we dropped the anchor, and within 5 minutes we had the first fish on... a nice 5 lbs Roker, the followed by another, and another, blimey you would have thought it was spring Roker session..!!! then once we got settled, we had the first of the Codling on board.

    By the time we got to lunch time, and the tide was about to turn, we moved North into 18 foot of water, as the tide was about to hump out of the Blackwater, and I knew that the fish would have pushed up near the shore line, and we positioned ourselves in a place where we could catch them as they came off the beach line as the tide started to drop..!! and we were there to nab them..!! and we did ..

    We finished the day with around 20 Codling to 6.5 lbs and 5 Roker to 6 lbs .

    Well on the way back to Bradwell, as usual, Nicola did all the filleting and skinning and the boys were very grateful, but all those who know Nicola know she is a wizard with a knife...!!! (I sleep with one eye open...lol)
    but once back in our berth the lads thanked us both for our baiting up,casting, and prepossessing their fish and said that was the best fishing trip they have had in many, many years.. which is always nice to see happy and satisfied customers leaving the boat....

    Look forward to seeing you guys next trip..!!! tight lines..!!!!
