    Hi everybody this is a message from Terry and Nicola of the Vanishing Point-2
    It is with sadness but not regret we announce our retirement from the fishing world.
    We would like to thank all of our customers over a 30 year period of fishing with us and your loyalty.
    But we feel now is the time to gracefully step aside and recall all the happy memories we have made from the
    Vicky Emma, Cacheflow, vanishing Point 1, and finally Vanishing Point-2 the pride of the fleet.

    Nicola and I hope we have given many of you memorable days out fishing and shooting and lots of you have had your personal bests with us.
    From my point of view, I will miss the fishing, and the boating side of chartering, but I won’t miss the stress that we were experiencing from mostly overseas anglers... don’t get me wrong some of our overseas anglers Were a joy to have on the boat but others were quite honestly a nightmare which I grew to dread driving to the boat that’s when I knew it was time for me to go.
    So to all our friends of many years it’s farewell from Nicola and myself and we wish you all the best in your new fishing adventures with new skippers Philip White on Chinnock 3 out of bradwell on Sea is a very experienced chartered skipper has a lovely boat and you wouldn’t go far wrong from giving him a ring to try to book your fishing charters.
    All the best guys
    Terry and Nicola

    Well the weather was perfect last Wednesday 9th May and along with myself, Nicola (my wife) good pal John Rawle Les Wake, and my dear friend Nigel Farage we set of from Bradwell marina early doors.. departing at 0530 to head out offshore to grounds that John knew well..!

    After an Hour and a half of steaming at 22 knts we arrived on the selected fishing ground which John had carefully steered Vanishing Point-2, and after a few minutes of going back and fourth gave Nicola the thumbs up to shoot the anchor away, ...
    (" I must say the after doing this job for 30 odd years and watching the man who taught me all those years ago to become a successful charter boat skipper, watching him once again working his magic...!! it was a rare treat for me to learn another lesson..... Thanks John your still the greatest in my book even though you are retired")

    We got to the mark perfectly, the ebb tide was just about to start and with almost instant results Nigel's rod bent hard over and the fight was on..!! the first of what must have been a 50-60 fish catch of superb Spur-dog adventure.

    I personally had a 21.5 lbs Spur, Nigel had many Spur's best one for him was 20 lbs we all had fish bubbling around the 19-20 lbs mark and of course Nicola (great female angler) was cashing my ass and came in with a 21 lbs Spur just beat her by half a pound ...Phew...!!!! I would never have lived that one down if I hadn't beaten her because like me, John has taken Nicola under his wing and showed her many fishing methods and trick that make you have the edge and he loves Well the weather was perfect last Wednesday 9th May and along with myself, Nicola (my wife) good pal John Rawle Les Wake, and my dear friend Nigel Farage we set of from Bradwell marina early doors.. departing at 0530 to head out offshore to grounds that John knew well..!

    But after 6 hours of wall to wall magnificent fishing it was time to head off home and 1 hour 40 minutes we were once again slipping Vanishing Point-2 back into her birth in Bradwell Marina for a well earned rest.

    We all new that we could travel all that way only to find the Spur-dogs had all gone..! as they are by there very nature are very nomadic as we knew to boats with very experienced skippers for our area were out 2 days before us and didn't find a single Spur-dog, so was it once again John spinning his uncanny knowledge as I recon he thinks like a fish..!! that put us over the fish, where other's had failed..

    Well the general fishing is really good at the moment, lots of Thornback Rays, Hounds started to show and will get better as the month goes on, we are picking up a few Bass (must be returned) plenty of dogfish ...

    If you want to get in on the action just call me or Nicola on 07768306646 to book your slot..and I have to say the Clay pigeon shooting is now so hugely popular with our customers that a new hi-tec multi carousel clay trap has been ordered..!! if you think your good enough come and have a go...!!

    Tight lines, and hot guns.

    Well the fishing drought is over, as the usual; marks start to produce fish once again, and in good numbers..!!!

    We fished off-shore on Sunday with a new party for us, a chap called Larry organised the trip (you can read his revue) although it was lovely to see the boys, it was tainted with a little sadness that we only got the party because one of our other top skippers has recently passed away...... Lester Baker who run a very nice boat out of Brightlingsea called Sea-Watch.

    But life goes on, and I think Lester would have been proud of his lads not only were they a fantastic crew, but the banter never stopped from start to finish and once they got stuck into the fish they landed 42 good Thornback Rays up to 13 lbs so very busy most of the day, and they brought enough bacon, sausages, and burgers to sink a battleship...lol but with the weather being flat calm it was a most enjoyable day...!!! and the boys got off the Vanishing Point about a stone heavier than they got on.... ha ha ha ..!! we will see you on the next adventure lads with Terry Batt Sports Charters..!!

    If any of you out there would like to experience this truly amazing sport's charter boat call : 07768306646

    Tight lines and Hot & Guns.....!!

    well fishing continues to improve with some nice spring Cod showing on nearly all trips now up to 11-15 per trip on a good day along with the spring appearance of the Thornback Rays up to 13 lbs so although a bit cold out there as you may know on our vessel Vanishing Point-2 the huge wheelhouse is kept to around 68 degrees all day long as we never turn the heating system off while out at sea, so you can either sit outside in the cold.... or watch your rod from the comfort of your seat in the warm inside.....

    If you fancy a trip call me on : 07768 30 66 46 a few weekend dates still available (not many) but plenty of mid-week dates still available

    At this time Of year when many charter boat on the South coast are sadly blown off because of the weather, although we don't have the same amount of species they do on the Essex coast we do have very sheltered waters that hold Whiting, Codling, Pouting, Thornback Rays, and lot's of inshore
    e Dab's, and virtually never have to cancel to weather... so if you are serious about getting out and don't want to be cancelled call Vanishing Point-2 one of the largest Catamarans in the UK fleet in the River Blackwater in Essex for a trip un-spoilt by the weather.

    Even on these bitter cold days with wind chill factor of -3 outside the temperature inside her massive wheelhouse is kept to 67 degrees all day long so no need to freeze yer whats-it's off...

    So if your interested in having an un-spoiled non-disappointed trip on one the UK's premier charter boat:
    Call: Terry 07768306646
    ( and as far as I am aware we are the only sports charter boat licenced to do Clay pigeon shooting)

    So that number again..... 07768306646 GREAT CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING DAY OUT
