Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well we had a good friend of our on the boat Tuesday, James R Hearn, not only is James a great fisherman, he is a fantastic singer regularly seen at Potters leisure in Hopton on Sea, but sometimes on tour with the European Rat Pack show as Dean Martin... fabulous..!!

But back to fishing, James brought a lovely bunch of guys with him on Tuesday, it was his birthday treat ..!!
ans we didn't stop laughing from start to finish and with the wind blowing at 23 mph Northerly we couldn't get to the Smoothounds sadly, but love em or not we had a splendid day on the Thornback Rays many into double figures, we had over 30 fish boated, and a select few were kept for the table and others returned to have their young and fight another day.
A few Bass are showing up now, even though we are not allowed to keep any so they all go back alive, but they still make great sport and I think personal satisfaction when you land one of the hardest fish to land, because if you, or your tackle are not up to it, chances are you will come second and lose it, so yeah... I think Bass even though at the moment are not keep-able, they still are well worth fishing for, and it will hone your fishing skills. so when the 1st July comes, and you are allowed to keep one Bass each, you will be ready for
them.
As you can see if you have looked at the videos, the Clay shooting is picking up pace now, and we are seeing some real talent on the gun, but it does not have to be serious, it's a goon social addition to the day out, you don't have to be at Olympic standard...lol if you hit 11 or 12 clays most times that will be in the running for the TOP GUN trophy or a silver or bronze medal, but take a look and see for yourself.
We do have bank holiday Monday available if anyone want to come out and try out the facilities, so if you call us on ...07768306646 we will get you in the diary....... Tight lines..!! .
