    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Hi chaps, we were out yesterday (Tuesday 22/3/16) what a great day, not only did the sun shine from the time we left Bradwell but until the time we got back.

    We had some great chefs on board, and they brought with them home made Indian spicy Sag... emmmmm..!! wonderful, but these guys are not of Indian persuasion but as English as you and me... just great cooks, and there was more than enough to go round for all 9 on board ...

    But..... back to fishing... it was a spring tide and it sure did run hard, but we found the best of the fish was in the best of the water (in the deeper water) when we went up shallow they just had not pushed up as you might expect, so we pulled the anchor and dropped 300 yards to the North off the edge, and bang..!! there they were again, and we fished the tide right up to the top, and while waiting for the ebb we did some Clay pigeon shooting and the slack water time just flew bye, and before I knew it the tide had turned and one of the guys who was fishing at the bow, was screaming for the net...!!!! then it was gun away, and on with fishing....lol I'm not say we had some really bad shooters on the boat...!! but all I will say, is that many of the Clays went back in the water totally unharmed,,,, lol

    There was a good mix of big and small Thorn Back Rays, and a good mix of male, and female fish and some were kept for the table, and some were retuned, but I leave that up to the angler to decide, I only step in if the size looks too small then there is no discussion.... it goes back, but to be fair most of the guys only keep a couple each for eating and the rest go back,

    Well as yet the best day of the Easter weekend in Friday, and we are not booked...!! so if you want to get some of this action give us a call on ... 07768306646
