    Report on-board Vanishing Point-2

    Well Vanishing Point-2 has been busy over the Christmas period after boxing day we have been out every day, and we took a chance and went right up river further than we have ever fished before..!! and with some good results.
    We found some good Thornback Rays, Barry who was on the boat 27th Dec had a PB a nice 14 lbs Thornback and his son Justin also caught some nice Rays.
    Over the last couple of days we split the trips between fishing for Rays and Dab’s and Whiting, and while fishing for Dabs yesterday Allen hooked a 5lbs Thornback Ray on a size 2 hook, but eased it up gently to the net…. Well done mate, 4 of the guys done Clay pigeon shooting and it was a titanic battle for the silver and bronze medals with a dead tie at 14 clays each, it was sudden death and ended up 18 to 17, I thought they were doing it on purpose, as the tie break cartridges are free of charge…..lol
    Still no Cod showing at the moment, well not on the bottom where we need them, the trawlers are seeing some high up in the nets and coughing up Herring.
    With the weather forecast to start freezing into January that will no doubt trigger the sprat run to join the Herring spawning that are already here let’s just hope those spring run Codling follow the sprat’s and we get a spring Cod run, the water temperature is now down to 5 degrees now so it’s in the lap of the God’s now..!
    Happy new years to all angler everywhere and we hope for a productive 2017.
    Tight lines …….
