Last Year out of we won the Largest fish trophy in the annual Brightlingsea (Thames estuary) boat fishing competition . I have upgraded the boat to improve your fishing experience: More powerful engine to get us to the marks quicker. None slip flooring for improved safety. Cushioned seating for a more comfortable trip. Improved rod holders to give more deck space, Individual bait trays. Electric reels to assist those who have certain disabilities and individual bait trays but the same great marks.
