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

Report on-board Vanishing Point-2
Well we have been so busy over the last few weeks guys, I have had very little time to catch up with fishing reports.
But I will give you an overall summery of how the Thames Estuary has been fishing..!!
There has been plenty of good Smoothound action, with fish into the high end doubles, most of the professional boats from both the river Blackwater, and our friends in the river Crouch, have been hitting them with huge susses, and all are encouraged to put the vast majority back alive to fight another day, and this has been the case I am glad to report..!!
It the right places further off-shore you can still have big hits of Thornback Rays, and there are lots of big double figure females amongst them, and again we go there on the understanding that most of the fish are returned alive, and only take enough for a feed at the table, as we do not endorse the old ways of years gone by, of wholesale slaughter...!! them days I am glad to say are long gone, and I am pleased to report, that most anglers now all read from the same hymn book...! now we have a sustainable fishery, and we didn't need some erk in Brussels to tell us how to do it, we have managed it, with the co-operation of our sensible anglers by our-self's, and we have great fishing nearly all year round.
There are huge amounts of juvenile fish in the shallows, right on top of the sands, in 3 foot, we fish up there for Bass on the incoming big spring tides, but we get to see all the small Tope, Thornbacks, LSD, Smoothhounds
and whiting.... just about every species you could imagine, even a little Place, was caught the other day.. so all in the garden is coming up roses so to speak, and that my friends is largely due to the fact, love em or hate them ... the wind turbines affords these little fish huge amounts of protection, and stops them being swept out to sea on the big tides, they just hide up behind the wind turbines, out of the tide nice and safe..!!!
Well this wind is relentless, and with the rain pouring down, not a great summer, but it is heart warming as I am sitting here writing this report, on TV the "big Blue UK live", Huge, one of the presenters, has just said what I have have been banging on about!!!, years ago he said he is ashamed to say, that he is sad to say years ago he was responsible 40 years ago to have killed a Blue Shark, and now wants to help conserve our marine life, so once again education, and understanding has been victorious and this is a good thing, and with most things, with the exposure of television it gets out to the masses..!!
Ok guys we will see what the weather does tomorrow, and see weather the ropes come off and head out to sea, or weather the wind is going to blow again, driving the rain and washing yet another trip out..!!
until next time........ Tight lines.. View Boats Page

Report on-board DAWN TIDE II
Quick report been very busy hardly any days off untill this little front of wether very good numbers of fish about at the moment most of my partys wanting to fish for the bass recently with plenty of action for all most fish well over the new legal size limit with the better ones kept for the pot rest all reasled most fish over the 2lb mark at the moment biggest last week was just over 5lb nice eating size. Still loads hounds about little run of bigger fish 22lb the biggest. Rays are building in good numbers as they always do this time of year. The odd cod turning up still so it a good sign for the wither season. Hit the mackrele the other day had about 70 odd but still not loads about never really turned up. Gurnad sole flounders dabs and whiting doggys showing up too book early to secure a space or date dont leave it to late and be disappointed when im full

Fishing Report by LESTER BAKER
on Seawatch1 (Brightlingsea, Essex)
Aug 2015 by LESTER BAKER
Report on-board Seawatch1
It's been a busy summer on Seawatch in the Thames estuary and I didn't realise how long ago I wrote my last report so here is a quick update.June continued to give us some good bass and thornback catches and some great days on the Smoothhounds which turned up in great numbers and as usual became the main species in our summer fishing.Although we tried several times for mackerel they failed to show in any numbers in our area and like most boats we gave up looking for them,from reports I have seen they appear to be in short supply all round the coast this year.
After a couple of quieter weeks in late July and early August fishing has improved again with some really big hounds showing again and the return of some better size rays on the grounds,the last week has also seen some good bass being caught with the best on Seawatch at 9.8ozs to Mike McHale
Most boats have been catching the odd cod throughout the summer and I'm sure next month will see a sharp increase in the numbers ,which can only add to the mixed bags of fish we are enjoying at the moment View Boats Page

Fishing Report by Nick Halstead
on Queensferry (Scarborough, North Yorkshire)

Report on-board Queensferry
My second trip out with Neil and Paul was just as enjoyable as my first.
Two weeks ago I caught a dozen Cod in the 6 to 8 pound range, On Saturday it was mainly Ling with a smattering of Codling.
The boat is clean and spacious, not the fastest I have ever been on but rides the sea well and is very comfortable.
Mackeral were hard to come by for bait but Neil did his level best to ensure we had enough fresh bait.
I have to comment on his ability to not only put the boat on the fish but also to keep it there as long as the conditions allow, he is a very skilled boatman and understands anglers needs well.
Some belting Ling were caught with the best (unfortunately not to my rod) weighing in at over 18 pounds.
I found baited Hokkais were best during the slacker periods of the tide then switched to a small baited Shad fished on braid.
Loads of takes and I honestly lost as many fish as I landed. A fab day. View Boats Page
