    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    We didn't go this weekend with high winds and monster tides against the wind all day it was decided that fishing is something to be enjoyed not endured,,! and it was a decision our parties were happy with, as I know if I had said we were going they would have turned up, but it is not all about the money..
    We have had some great fishing over the last week though hound to just shy of 20 lbs, Bass to 4 & 5 lbs and we had the pleasure of our good old friend Nigel Farage out with us on Tuesday, recovering from his 17 year long hard fought campaign with Europe, and if you look closely at the photos you can see Nigel sporting his new fishing rod his friend made for him made in
    UKIP colours and put it to good use.
    Nigel's son Tom is a very accomplished angler, and grabbed glory right at the end, of the day ( chip off the old block) with a good 14 lbs Smoothound and with the rest of the guests on board were treated to the most fantastic lunch put on by my very good friend and crewman Colin Pryor, it was a luncheon fit for a King..! many thanks Colin.
    Well when the boys did some Clay shooting Nigel was quite good, but got his butt kicked by his son Tom ...lol it was a great day with great friends ending as we always do at the pub..! yes we all went round to the Green Man in Bradwell Waterside to see our very good landlord Micheal who welcomed us all, and cheekily got Mr Farage to pull a pint,
    ,(which he was as good at pulling a pint as well as drinking it..!)
    The rest of the week was just as productive with lots of good fish in the right places.... Tight lines
