Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Went fishing yesterday, after what seems an eternity of cancelled trips..!!.
But we set off at 0600 so we had the maximum of wind and tide together...!! (the boy is a genius) Emm!! may be not..!!
We got down to one of our usual fishing marks off of Clacton, with all rods baited and cast in we waited... not long... dog fish, dog fish....ect ect Getting the idea..? then Whiting after whiting, but no Cod..!! we fished on boldly and tried every trick in the book, but to no avail, they were just having none of it.
After 3 hour of much the same, we pulled the anchor and headed 2 miles west and tried our luck there, well after about 25 minutes one of our anglers finally got a Codling 3lbs then more dogs and Whiting, so we decided to move back to the mouth of the river Blackwater, where two weeks ago we had some decent skate, so I thought, well it's not what we came for, but Thorn backs are better than just Whiting, and doggies???
We fished the mark for the first two hours of flood tide and boated 8 Thornback Rays, all but one went back..!! so after speaking to some of the other charter boats, one boat had 3 Codling, of which two were caught in the river, and one off of Clacton, and the other charter boat fishing off Clacton had no Codling, but fished up in the area where I was fishing and bagged a few Rays also.
I am sure this is just a glitch caused by inclement weather and the fish shoals are just broken up, and after a few days of calmer weather they will come together again as they did before this big storm "Barney" hit our shores..
Well we decided on the boat this morning not to go... so we had a nice cup of tea, and a chat with the boys who re-booked for the Christmas period.
We are out tomorrow (Sunday) so lets hope the fishing improves then...!!! but until then ........ Tight Lines
