    Just to bring us up to date having had quite a poor month really same old struggle to get out with strong winds that have really not gone away so grateful for the smoothounds that have provided so much sport for us this summer keeping us busy. Last trip managed a reasonable bag of mackerel bit of sport for everyone, sandeels as well plus the pesky weavers thrown in and the odd gurnard always nice to see. Beaten again by the wind had to come inshore fish off winterton back to inshore whiting being a pain robbing the baits, few small smoothies and odd flatty. Our forcast of 8 to 10 knots rather 20 plus was going to prove a lumpy steam home so decided to head closer to port and fish just out the harbour resulting in some better smoothies one pictured here with Dave smith and a few small spotty dogs and usual whiting . One small cod surprised us so close in never can tell but thats fishing.Was a enjoyable day pity wind beat us would of been different day had we stayed on the banks with all that fresh bait i,m sure but always another day. my thanks to all the boys looking forward to next trip.
    All the best,
    Jon, (High Flyer)

    Just to bring us up to date on local fishing in truth hasnt been the easist season so far, apart from the smoothounds which fortunately has kept us busy with some brilliant rod bending action for everyone the weather has really stuffed plans this year.Even though we have been able to get out the wind hasnt allowed us to get where we want to go! For us the skate have been patchy so far compared to last year but seen this before which generally gives us a run of fish end of summer hopefully. Been averaging few bass a trip new laws hopefully should improve the sport especially if the netting issue is addressed as promised by IFCA and 42cm rule has to help. For us the mackerel starting to show up further off in the clear water small at the moment but thats normal, Millions of sandeels again same as last year nice to see more gurnards on the feathers this year. Tope have been fantastic for North Norfolk seemed to have moved off a bit now, hopefully few this way ,will be looking at fishing for them soon as this wind eases for us. Have put the leaflet up on picture , FREE copy to anyone who wants one just email name and address will send through to you have reprinted another batch as Sea Angler ads wiped us out. Having had such a good codling season last year on this coast weekend bookings are already being taken for the winter so dont leave it too late if you have a trip your planning on any of our local Norfolk/Suffolk boats.So after having lost both days this weekend apoligies to the lads we had to cancel cant beat the weather never will, looking forward to few mackerel now hopefully tope on the banks few biggies among them and bit of wrecking thrown in and a suntan!! Until then tight lines everyone. Jon. (High Flyer)

    Just a report to cover up to weekend of 5th July, we have been mainly on the smoothounds and doggies from our inshore marks, the skate been very patchy at the moment most trips having to fish inside due to the wind being quite relentless lately getting a bit fed up of it. Today sunday 5th was very strong tide had to work the water today started off with a little spot i use north of the harbour was a good result for the conditions quite a few starry smoothies came in on soft crab odd spotty dog and few whiting. Nice few rod benders among them, picture today of Gorleston Tackle owner Jason Amies and heir to the fishing tackle empire son Kyle with one of the smoothies. Alll fish today returned well done for conservation men nice to see. Moved a few times to work the water had a nice 2lb sole from the mud mark caught by Dave Jones, more smoothies on the ebb few flatties thrown in. Was a most enjoyable day think we done ok due to the conditions big thanks to Kyle for organising people, Jason, Russ,Brad,Angus,Craig,Nick and Dave look forward to next time .

    We will be starting our evening trips hopefully soon as the weather improves, also heading out mackerel bashing and tope on the banks as few starting to show up, get your name on the list just text me for when we start evenings as places go fast . Until then tight lines everyone.

    This report brings up to date to 7th June, been bit testing with the wind as usual and still water bit on the cold side! Still catching few codling right inshore and whiting stripping the baits at slack cant wait to get offshore soon as we get a window. Few bass turning up for us now biggest so far only 6lb but hopefully soon out on the banks with live eel will improve the situation water starting to clear so wont be long. As you can see by the pictures few skate inshore not in great numbers but still plenty time for them still normally when the hermits in the pots seems to best skate time for us. The big smoothies seem to be in and out depending on the tide,plenty of small spotties everywhere generally. Waiting to test the feathers this week for mackerel and out on the banks for tope just being held back by this north easterly at moment. Picture here of Paul Layton with 5lb bass second fish for Paul. Remember size limit now 42cm with a 3 fish bag only per rod per day now lots of anglers unaware that come on the boat. So looking forward to weather breaking soon getting offshore bit of wrecking , start of the evening trips too, mackerel bashing and a bit of sun! Until then tight lines everyone.

    This report covers the weekend of 23rd/ 24th/25th May, bank holiday, the weather not been kind at all the wind unfortunately stopping all offshore work. We had to work around the tides this weekend and basically make the most of it so big thank you and well done to all my customers every fish was well earned. Apart from the heavy downpours sunday we managed a dry monday but the light winds forcast was not to be. Fished north of the turbines Sat had few decent smoothies and doggies most of the day, Sun was quite poor fish size wise but had a few codling thrown in , only small smoothies today showing up but ended up home early with everyone soaking wet not a great day. Mon was better still bit blowy to go offshore so fished off Lowestoft front with a reasonable day few nice bass pictured here , no skate or cod today plenty of pin whiting still proving a pain. Big thanks to all the anglers on High Flyer this bank holiday weekend, nice to see few new faces as well, bit of a hard one but enjoyable all the same, looking forward to being of service again soon, until then tight lines everyone. Jon. (High Flyer)
