Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
10 Oct 2016 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well just got back from today's charter and over the last 3 days we have landed 142 Thornback's, with a large percentage returned and some taken for the table...
Today's party started the day with a clay shooting competition so by the time the shooting was done, the ebb tide had just got away.. that saved an hour of sitting there with little to no fish as the tides are so small at the moment it takes an age to run..! and usually it's no tide run, little to no fish.
But once we got on our fishing mark we got a couple of fish almost right away, then nothing..?? so I pulled the anchor and guided the boat just 350 yards East, just up the bank a bit, and then we were off...!! another 30 Roker followed during the rest of the day... the lads we very focused and given the lack of tide, they missed very few opportunities.. which can make the difference between a good day and a not so good day...
Of course we had umpteen LSD's and Whiting, to fill in the gaps, but all in all, a very nice little day, with nice people..
Only heard of one Cod being caught from a local boat, so nothing to get excited about yet....! with the water temperature today still tipping the scales at 15.8 degrees I think it will be another couple of weeks before we will actively start trying to sell Cod trips, I am not sending out false hopes when I know you will be disappointed, as the old saying goes, One swallow doesn't make a summer...
and One Cod doesn't mean they are here...
All the Blackwater based boats are fishing quite well at the moment.... Phil White on Chinook II from my port of Bradwell has returned with some good catches, as has Chris Mole on Enterprise out of West Mersea, Lee Bollingbrock and Lester both from Brightlingsea all catching well.
In the coming weeks I expect to see a larger presence in the River Blackwater and through to the Wallet our colleges from the River Crouch, coming to join us on our home fishing grounds to seek out the winter Cod... so lets hope they turn up in good number and we all work together to give our parties some great days sport..!! look forward to seeing you guys again..!!
OK having both engines undergoing major service over the next two days, so back out on Friday.
Tight lines & Hot guns...!!!!

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)

Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
Poole Harbour is producing some quality fish Plaice up to 4lb, plenty of Bream and Gurnards and some big Wrasse not everyone's favourite but when in the 6lb class on light tackle they provide fantastic sport. Along the beaches Plaice dominate the catches although the fish are in the small to medium class the quantity provides plenty of action mixed in are Bream, Gurnards, small Hounds, Trigger fish and the occasional Cod. We tried the deeper Cod marks towards the Isle of Wight but were plagued with very small Congers and the 1st nice haul of Whiting this season. Several decent sized Rays were landed making it a good day but sadly no Cod ( always next time)

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Well summers gone looking forward to snow and ice with hot soups on the go and hopefully those lovely cod turning up for us thats what winters all about in my book! Few skate at the moment showing up as they do for about a month here, plenty of whiting i,m afraid some crackers among them to be honest. Few spotty dogs and the odd smoothound still coming in will be glad to see them go so we know the water temperature will have dropped letting our cod friends come in still bit warm at the mo. Reports of codling not too far away facebook pictures telling the stories unfortunately none for us as yet but i think after a few frosts and you can feel that nip in the air now at night it wont be long now. Keep an eye on our evening trips that we will be running for night cod fishing inshore or if you have a party and want to organise get in touch for best tides. I say this every year and get bored of it but think ahead for trips if you need a weekend still places available but soon as the first cod appear bookings go ballistic and you cant always get on at the weekends. New set of Akios reels onboard and new GX2 boat rods next week looking forward to using them , trips still same price £45 per person using your own tackle add £5 using our gear covers losses/replacement. All bait supplied but for this year due to worm costs i would say bring a handfull for yourself if you wish to use lug all day unfortunately with free lug people seem to make huge great baits waste alot and spoil it for others shame really. So looking forward to start of the cod season hopefully see you soon stocking up on the coup of soups!! Tight lines .

Fishing Report by Steve Green

Report on-board Brigand
Sat 8th Oct
For the very first time this year we did not get all of the fish we were after, well we got some Bream but the Bass eluded us so I guess its fair to say it was 50% successful. We headed West, then North, anchored some, drifted a little, changed rigs several times, put in the miles and stayed out a little longer - it was tough! Anglers were great (particular thanks to Stuart for sharing the "bait of the day" which only he had, classy Stuart and much appreciated by all) and we ended up with some lovely deep plaice to go with the Bream so on balance a reasonable day.
Sunday 9th
Really needed a day off and hadn't planned on fishing but at 0900 received an SOS from a group that found their boat double booked and stranded in Brighton - what a horrible position to be in. 90 minutes later we are heading out to Sea and making plans on the hoof! Feathered some bait, headed West and had a great days fishing which included: Scad, Mackerel, Starry Smooth-hound, Bream, Dog fish (off course), Dabs, Plaice, Red Gurnard and our first inshore Cod of the year. Happy anglers with a box full of fish to take away and a ruined day salvaged at the last minute.
We are now prepping for serious Cod so its time to pack away the 12-20lb class and get the big guns out!!
Availability is limited (took another 4 bookings this morning) from repeat customers who clearly like what we do - Top quality tackle, unlimited free premium cuttle bait and free Tea/Coffee/Soup/Hot chocolate all day for £50 so if you are interested please give us a call and we will try our best to accommodate.
