Fishing Report by TERRY BATT
on Vanishing Point-2 (Bradwell Marina, Essex)
Oct 2015 by TERRY BATT
Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Just a little rant..... again...!!! I had the very sad misfortune to have some really nice guys on the boat last Wednesday, you may have read my report on my fishing page.
They were sadly late by an hour due to a car crash on the M 25 so the day didn't get off to a great start, we missed a vital hour of ebb tide and with 42 mph winds blowing it was important to get to as much wind and tide together as possible, but it . is was what it was...!!
But....!!! here comes the part that really hurt, the boys that were late from Kent, cancelled all future charters with me, saying they didn't want to drive all the way from Kent just to blank..!! well in fact no one blanked all had fish albeit some only got Whiting, doggies, Pouting, while other did get half a dozen Codling between them, before moving back into the river for the flood tide due to the strong winds, but the small tide 4.8 mtrs took an age to start to run, and when we did get some tide, we had little time left to fish, but we did get another 2 Codling at the end of the day in the river....
But the boys cancelling their trips was sad enough, but the reason for them cancelling their trips was the real kick in the guts.!!! it turned out, one of my regular anglers "Ken Pipe" who has fished with me for over 10 years, and one of my fellow charter skippers Lee Bollingbrook on Sophie Lee, told my customers... and I quote word for word his damming advice to lads.....
HE SAID " IT IS COMMON PLACE TO GO OUT AND HAVE A BAD DAYS FISHING...!! AND THAT COD THAT WERE CAUGHT ..3-4 LBS IS ABOUT AS BIG AS THEY GET..!! AND SAID IF HE WAS US, AND LIVE SO CLOSE TO THE SOUTH COAST, HE WOULD 100% BE FISHING DOWN THERE..!!"
it was on the back of this hideous advice, the Kent boys cancelled all trips.
Well this is a chap who sadly contracted cancer a few years ago, and glad he was treated successfully..., but when I think, Nicola and I phoned him almost every week to see how he was ? and how his treatment was going? and offered him trips out on the boat, not to fish, just a boat ride while he was convalescing , at no charge, just to get him out of the house, and have some company..... he treats us like that... it is sickening, talk about the enemy within, Ken has a very nasty streak in him, and I am with great sadness banning him from ever stepping on our boat again, the money is not important, it is the principle that matters to me, and I would love it if Lee Bollingbroock would do the same, and if Ken thinks the South Coast is so appealing the Fu****k off down there and stripe someone else up, because you are not welcome here any more.. and by the way mate, as far as fishing Technic goes you have no idea ken, you really do suck at fishing, do you know what everyone says about you..??? you are someone with all the gear, and no idea..!!! and that really sums you pal, we just didn't like to tell you, but when you mess with our livelihood, then the gloves come off.
You know what Ken, ever heard the old WW II saying ....
""LOSE LIPS COST LIVES "" in our case our livelihood..!! so you might want to think and engage your brain before opening your big mouth...!!!
I don't think we have ever been more disappointed in anyone, as we are in you......
All I can say to any charter boat skipper around Essex, if Ken Pipe calls you to make a booking, beware it could cost you dear...!!!!!
Rant well and truly OVER..!!!!!
Ps: The Photo shown is of this vindictive little man Ken Pipe..

Fishing Report by Philip Higgins
on Mistress Linda / San Gina3 (Poole, Dorset)
25 Oct 2015 by Philip Higgins
Report on-board Mistress Linda / San Gina3
After a spell of unsettled weather a window of opportunity arose on Sunday 25th saw bright sunshine and calm seas along with the 1st frost of this winter, the idea was to head of to sea after the last of the big bream on the wrecks but for some reason we choose to head east and enjoy a day fishing of the Needles, as we approached I counted 35 boats already at anchor and my chosen mark already taken so as we headed towards another bank we marked some fish and anchored into these, almost immediately we had bites and Mark Turner produced a 6lb Cod on his 1st drop bites continued and fish came aboard regularly all day, Conn Bratcher changed his tactics to catch whiting and within minutes hooked into something a bit more challenging after a few minutes a superb Turbot of 17lb 12ozs was safely netted, the tackle used was not traditional Turbot gear but a size 4 Aberdeen wire hook and a small slither of mackeral. As the tide eased Gary Taylor landed another 10lb Cod along with a few nice whiting.
Cod and whiting are now the main targets for the next 2 months with numbers and size set to improve, if you fancy a trip as an individual or as part of a group please give me a call.
All the best

Report on-board SWN Y MOR
Hi weather not too bad today plenty of mackerel still about mixed with herrings. A lot of pollack and coalfish on reefs make good sport mostly of takable size for the table usual Huss dogs whiting prity much everywhere if you want them. Unable to get to offshore marks for cod at the moment due to weather conditions hope to get there shortly to enjoy the sport. Book on small tides for this type of cod fishing on anchor 9 miles out so you can fish all day on bottom for cod and large whiting. See special deals for this enjoyable fishing .Roy

Fishing Report by Rich Cope
on Mistress (Whitby, North Yorkshire)
24 Oct 2015 by Rich Cope
Report on-board Mistress
Its safe to safe to say the uptiding has come on with a bang here at whitby With the forecast giving strong winds from the southwest, we could only realistically get onto the uptiding grounds with any hope of getting Paul and the lads from just outside Hull some comfortable fishing.
The tide was just easing as we sailed so we only got a short amount of time before the fishing fell slack over slack water, we managed half a dozen or so fish then had to wait for the flood coming.
A short journey to one of my favourite spots saw the rods going mental for about an hour until a bloody seal showed up and ruined for it us! but with many cod in the 3lb-8lb range the lads were already buzzing.
A few more moves throughout the day taking fish everywhere really until we ran out of worm, saw the end of the day but not before getting a cracking Ling a shade over 12lb, some great fishing tbh, with plenty of fish in the 5-6lb range, especially with conditions not ideal with clear water, I cant wait for the next big northerly the uptide fishing will go MENTAL!
if you fancy a crack at the winter uptiding here at whitby aboard Mistress give us a bell on 07977 436903, e-mail me at seafishingwhitby@hotmail.co.uk or drop me a message on my FB page Mistress Sea Angling Charters
Tight Lines - Rich
Dave shows the best cod of the day, absolutely cracking fish in shallow water on light gear! he also got a Ling over 12lb! View Boats Page
