Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
17 Apr 2016 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Sorry it's a little late, but here is the report from Sundays trip....!
We had a bit of a mix and match on the boat, as Troy Botterell usually has a full boat on his own, but for whatever reason 4 of his usual anglers couldn't make the trip on Sunday so troy asked me and Nic if we could get some more anglers, so we called a few of our regulars and they jumped at the chance, and as we have such nice people from all walks of life, we new they would get along just fine, and the banter would fly as usual, and everyone would join in with no offence taken..... although I took a fair bit myself this trip....Grrrrr,,!!! (well deserved though..tee he).
But on with the fishing..... we got of to a flying start with Troy hooking up within the first few minutes of the trip.
We decided to start off on Sunday where we finished the day before, as you might of seen we did well with the Pete Marron Family and friends, and it doesn't always pan out that one day will fish as good as the last, but with no big jump in the tides they were almost the same height, it was worth a try...
As I say Troy hooked up very quick into the trip and fish started to come to the boat from all directions, and although not as manic as the week before, there was a steady stream of fish coming all day...
At slack water most of the guys requested we set up the clay shooting.
Well these guys were the first to try the new Mk-2 clay trap which now is mounted on a sub-frame which oscillates left to right, and has a ram arm at the back to rise and fall, so if you think your good..... think again... this is the Godzilla of clay traps...lol but if you find it too difficult, we can just launch them off the stern port quarter, so a bit easier...
But after a hard fought shoot out, little Paul emerged the winner of the "VANISHING POINT-2 TOP GUN" trophy... well done mate good shooting, I think your score was 19 out of 25 clays?? then there was a shoot off between Tony and Paul Kitley they were both on 11 each, so I got 4 cartridges out enough for two shoots each, this time it was on the oscillating setting...!!! and whoever hit one/two would win the silver medal, and the third place would get the bronze... it turned out Tony hit one clay and missed one, and Paul Kitley sadly missed both clays. so we then had our final result.... outright winner... little Paul centre, second was Tony, and third place was Big Paul.... great shooting, and great fun, I think you all did well coz it aint easy to hit them bad boys from a boat...!! if you think it is... best you come and try and win the trophy ...!!!!
But even though one or two did not shoot, I could hear the net going out along the starboard side as fish were still being landed over slack water... a really good day with a great crowd of guys..
Well done everyone, look forward to next month.... be looking for the Hounds I think then, as one or two are just starting to show up now, peeler crab's and getting going now, and we will soon be harvesting Hermit crab's so lots to look forward to, and of course on the smaller tides we are going well off to hunt the elusive big Tope...!!! we now have quite a few trips lined up for these large predators just hope the Mackerel turn up this year....
(if we are not banned from landing them)
I must say that on Monday, it was like a different stretch of water.. a big jump it the height of the tide, and the fish were much harder to catch, it's as if someone threw a light switch, and they didn't want to know, we had to work very hard to land a dozen..!!! but the boys were pleased with there day, but when you consider we landed 12 fish in the first 2 hours of the trips just days before, you see how when you get a big jump in the tides it has a big affect on the fishing, they haven't gone anywhere, they just wont feed.... funny little creatures....
Ok........................... we find ourselves with a completely empty boat for this coming Sunday... No party.. so if there is a party of anglers who want to go.... just call ... 07768306646 and......... make my day.!! (I love Dirty Harry films) ... Tight lines..!!! View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Kevin McKie
on Size Matters (Craobh Haven, Argyll & Bute)
Apr 2016 by Kevin McKie
Report on-board Size Matters
[This report was written when Size Matters was operating from Plymouth]
We managed to get out both day's over the weekend, this could be a sign the summer is on it's way. On Saturday I had a group of regular's from Bristol onboard, when we set off at 7am the lad's asked me if I could take them pollack fishing and they did not want any ling as they caught enough when they where out with me in March. If only I could order what fish they wanted, it would make my life a lot easier ha ha.
We arrived at the first mark about an hour before low water on a very small tide, trying to catch pollack with very little or no tide can be very challenging to say the least.
For the first few hour's it was hard going with only a few pollack to 12lb and a ling to show for our effort's. I told the lad's as soon as the tide flood's we will start catching some pollack, slowly but surely they started to come onboard. The lads finished the day with 30+ pollack to 15lb and a few ling to 8lb. On Sunday I had another group of angler's from Bristol onboard, six of them where rod hire's and some of them had never fished before. Bearing this in mind I picked a mark that was not to snaggy and easy to fish, or the tackle losses and tangle's would be very high. We where about two hour's from low water with no wind on a neap tide, perfect for drifting with bait.
The first few hour's where very good catching up to 7 ling a drift, then as we approached slack water the fishing just when off. When the tide started to flood we tried a few mark's on the way home with lure's but only managed a few pollack and odd ling. We finished the day with 40+ ling to 18lb and 3 pollack to 11lb 8oz. As you can see two days are never the same when it come's to fishing. I didn't manage to get any photo's of Sunday's trip as I was too busy looking after the lad's on rod hire and filleting the fish for them. They all enjoyed the day and booked the boat for the next available weekend October 9th.
If you would like to join us on a charter just give me a call on 07999628511.
Cheers

Fishing Report by Rich Ward
on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
19 Apr 2016 by Rich Ward
Report on-board Shy-Torque III
The Spring angling competition ended here in Whitby last Sunday 17th April.
The lads and lasses who fished aboard the Shy-Torque made a valiant and sterling effort each day we were off to try and tempt the big one!!
Sadly, the big one didn't poke it's nose out for them this time, but with the most daily prizes won across the competition falling to the Shy-Torque anglers and second overall heaviest fish too, I reckon we all did a pretty good job !!
May I thank all the anglers who fished with us aboard the boat in the competition and look forward to seeing you all again soon. The Summer competition will be on top of us soon!! Still some dates available.

Fishing Report by Gary Flint
on Discovery (Liverpool, Merseyside)

Report on-board Discovery
Sunday 17th of April
We left the Marina and headed offshore the wind was gusting 18kts wnw, i explained to the lads that it might be a bit rock and roll and that we could fish inshore if they wanted but they opted to for a mark 28 miles out well only 6 of the 11 booked turned up.
But they had paid so we set off. we arrived at our first wk to be down to 5 as one had fallen to the green monster we had a few drifts just producing small stuff ,Pollack,Pouting,Poor cod Whiting,one of the guys lost a nice fish close to the boat,we where now down to 4 as last nights session in the pub kicked in so we where well of shore fishing the wrecks with 4 people oops no i forgot we went down to 3 people as the others where talking to Neptune over the side asking for help and stuff like that The moral of the Story is dont go on a bender the night before it Cloggs up the fishing and clouds the water mind you as i was taught by a well known skipper in Caernarfon John Moore if there is Snow on the hills its too early to fish offshore the lads that stayed for the duration did ok under the conditions of a 1.5mtr sea

Report on-board Discovery
Saturday the 16th of April.
We left the marina with the intentions to scratch around the River for any Cod that may still be about and Rays
Some of the lads and Shellie opted straight for Cod with big pennel baits some opted to target Dabs and Whiting well most of the Lads caught into double figures with 14 plus whiting the odd Dab, Thornback Ray,Dog fish and 1 Codling at just under 4lbs The shock of the day was Pete Shorrack taking the pool, my bet was on his wife Shellie she always beats him but never the less a nice days fishing with every body catching off shore tomorrow lets see what that brings
