Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
31 Oct 2016 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
WARNING TO ALL CHARTER SKIPPERS..
This photo is of a guy called Glen Curtis..
He booked my boat the Vanishing Point-2 up several times, had good Cod trip, Roker, and fantastic Smoothound trip on the 13th July 2016, his last trip with me, from memory they boated over 65 big hounds really good day..
He then booked with Nicola a trip on October 23rd Sunday...!! before leaving the boat in July.
Nicola called him 3 weeks before the trip, just making sure everything was alright for the forthcoming trip..?
yes he said looking forward to it...
Then, having not heard from him by 6.45 pm Saturday 22nd (the evening before his trip) I tried to contact him and the phone just went to voicemail, so I left a message saying to be on the boat for 0700 hrs in the morning, as me and Nicola were going out for the evening.
But on returning home still no answer from Glen Curtis so got the distinct feeling he was not going to show up.
I left more text messages asking him to at least text me to say he was not coming so at least me and Nicky didn't have to get up at silly o'clock in the morning to wait for a charter party that was never going to turn up..!!!
But needless to say we got no call or message, so we had to professional and turn up anyway..!! but as predicted Glen Curtis and his party did not show up, so we just had to go back home.
The really annoying thing is..., we had no more weekend dates left in our diary, and we could... if we had know, sold that Sunday 23rd October trip 10 times over, in fact the guys who had the next day booked with us, Monday 24th October were desperate for a weekend date as they flew in from the Arab Emirates for their trip, and was choked that they could have had the day before..... Sunday 23rd was flat calm, Monday 24th was blowing 24 mph dead Easterly and was fairly rough.....
So if a guy call..... GLEN CURTIS rings you up to make a booking on your boat be prepared to be let down, the man has no morals, and is in my opinion, lower that a snakes belly.....
Just to be clear Glen Curtis on this point........ YOU ARE BARRED FROM OUR BOAT...!!!!

Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well what a lovely weekend...!! flat calm water, not a wind turbine turning, Sun shinning, and fish biting ..! utopia ..!!!!!!
We had some good sport with Thornback Rays, dogs, plenty of Whiting, and odds n sods.
The Codling are just starting to show off of the Essex coast with a few having been caught locally.
I would think looking at the weather for this coming week, the unusually high temperatures we have been experiencing lately looks like to be coming to an end, which should allow the water temperature to fall below 12 degrees, and coupled with the spring tides will hope fully flush in the long awaited Cod run.
There is still some good Bass fishing to be had off-shore if you have the right tide and conditions.
Last week, just when you thought we couldn't make our $1 million vessel Vanishing Point-2 any better, we decided to have a hot air hand drying machine installed in the toilet (Heads) as we have not liked for a while hand towels for drying ones hands, and it was you ladies that brought this to our attention, that you were not keen using cotton hand towels, and people (mostly guys) have been handling bait and stuff and some actually used to wipe their hands on the towel before going to the toilet, so we agreed we had to address this problem, so as I say the new hand drying machine is now fully installed and working... and going down a treat with all our customers... especially the ladies.....
But.... now we have used this for a week, I said to Nicola my wife and second in command on VP-2, I think this will prove so popular in the colder months of winter, that anglers will be disappearing to the toilet just to warm their cold hands...!!!! so we are looking at putting a second hand drying machine just inside the wheel-house so you can dry and warm up cold wet hands after baiting up....... I know we are just too kind to you anglers, but with a vessel of this quality and vast expense, we think you deserve to get what your paying for.... Tight lines. View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Kevin McKie

Report on-board Size Matters
Our first week back on the Mersey with the new boat Size Matters went very well.
All the anglers are very impressed with the size of the boat and the amount of deck space there is even with 12 anglers onboard there is plenty of room to walk about and fish in comfort.
On one of the day's we managed to land 56 Thornback ray's to 12lb, the most we have had in the passed was 46!
We have also been catching good numbers of Cod to 9lb 7oz, Whiting, Dabs and Dogfish.
There has been a few double figure cod caught on other boat's this is a great sign so early in the winter season and it look's like it's going to be a very good winter season on the Mersey.
On the weekend I managed to take family and friends out with there kids for a few hours over the top of the tide.
The weather conditions where perfect to do this, the kid's loved it catching Thornback ray, Whiting and Dogfish.
It's good to see kids getting into fishing and not being stuck in the house on there iPads playing games all day.
If you fancy a day out on the Mersey with us please get in touch.
Here are a list of dates available for November.
Friday 4th 9 places,
Saturday 5th 1 place,
Tuesday 8th 12 places,
Wednesday 9th 4 places,

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
29 Oct 2016 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
Plenty of Skate out from Ramsgate with some good Whiting among them. A few Cod being caught although slow to arrive this year, perhaps due to the high water temperature. The Bass are still around. Herring the top bait for the Skate with lugworm for the bass.. The Herring should arrive soon with the main shoal of Cod and Codling and the Skate will stay throughout the winter. Jeffs group had plenty of fish today keeping the male Skate for the pot. Still some weekend dates available on Duke lV.

Report on-board Rapid Fisher
The cod trips filling up nicely for the coming months, still some availability on part booked dates leaving from Poole Dorset, don't forget whilst at the moment the weather is mild for time of year, it will get colder soon, but with the huge space Rapid fisher offers you will be nice and comfortable with lots of free T and coffee.
If you fancy some nice fresh caught cod for your dinner why not come and try to catch one or more.
£45 per person with own tackle for Isle of Wight cod trips.
we run 364 days a year on a variety of fishing trips weather permitting but not Christmas Day.
Call or text for available cod trips, bait can be supplied at extra cost but will need at least 24hrs notice if needed.
Tight lines Paul. 07836717055 View Boats Page
