    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Fishing at the weekend was a fair bit slower that the previous three days.

    Saturday Were a fine bunch of lads, with some squadies and ex Army personnel, a right laugh, and everyone enjoyed their day as it was a stag do for one of their mates Ail don't want to think how that ended up later that night in Colchester near the barracks..

    But the boys fished well and shot well and Hugh won the "Vanishing Point-2 Top Gun" trophy these boys served in Iraqi so well done lads, and they enjoyed the DVD of Jim Davidson in Iraqi entertaining our troops, on their way back to Bradwell.

    Sunday....... the strong breeze from the East did take it's toll on the fishing as usual, but the boys fished on and did ok.

    The hound fishing was not great in the shallows we had a 9lbs hound on the first cast, and |I thought here we go...!! but that was it for 20 mins, then we had some small hounds around the 3 to 4lbs bracket so we moved into 32 foot just off the edge, and it was fairly busy for the last hour before the high water at 1300.

    We then cut across the top of the sands, back into the Blackwater , and once the tide got away we had a quadruple hook up of Skate, this went on for a while until the tide started to ease back, and the wind started blow the boat up the anchor rope...!!! but the day was just about done by then, so we decided to up anchor and start processing the catch,

    Me and Nicola are fishing out of Brighton tomorrow not sure which boat we are on???, but the target species is Plaice and Black Bream.... so fingers crossed, it will make a nice change to just fish ourselves and let another skipper do the work....lol

    Ok guys catch you later............ Tight lines & Hot Guns...!!
