This report covers weekend of 22/23 Nov, much of the same at the moment still plagued with whiting most of the while few decent ones among them. On Saturday the start of new moon the codling were bit shy on the bite to start from normal, ended up with few keepers as most people putting the small fish back even though in size. well done lads. Pictured here is Panky first time on the Flyer with our only roker of the day returned as well nice to see some conservation going on. Few nice flatties came aboard few pouting and some small doggies. On Sunday mostly the same more codling to show, ended up on the four miler mark the unfortunate weather of constant rain ruined the day really big thanks to the lads for sticking it was not good! Have had a few frosts early this week hopefully winter might set in soon god knows we need the cold , only benefit is were still got chance of skate inshore so will probably target a few with our fresh herrings would ask you throw females back please men at this late stage plus commercial ban on now. Anyone interested in a party of herring fishing using drift nets please get in touch as few about now no sprats as yet , come and get dirty and use those arm muscles! Weekends before xmas getting fuller now but still dates left website should be up to date or please ring. Tight lines everyone. Jon. High Flyer.

Today was a trip organised by DXB water regulars on the High Flyer part of the furniture i would say, poor buggers! It was decided to remain inshore today weather wasnt brilliant forcast wise so stayed in the Roads, bit of a slow start compared to yesterday first fish being a pouting! Few whiting came along as expected wasnt really to the tide changed when we saw a few codling appear. Unfortunately for us the heavens opened rather hard at times along with a easterly wind which always kills the fishing! Thought the lads done well to stick the weather got a bit swelly side to side motion in a easterly, stayed until dark. We ended up as you can see pictured few codling keepers some dabs amongst them , well done to throwing back sizeable codling makes more to catch next time. Big thanks to Derek for organizing,brother Jeff, Keith and Richard for travelling all the way from Brentwood much appreciated, and James,Kev,Henry,Alex and Tony sorry about the weather lads lets hope for a better day all round next time. All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

No wind at all today took advantage of the calm conditions headed out on the 5 to 6 mile mark in the deeper water, been wanting to get out as the wind has been relentless for weeks. Started off with whiting from the start, weak tide so ideal for uptiding in 104ft but nothing but more whiting! No cod or skate from the mark few small doggies and couple nice flatties. Gave up after tide changed no improvement headed slightly in to try mark on the 2 mile same old thing. Rather than lose the day decided to join the others all grouped in the Roads small codling from the off plus the dreaded whiting, ended up taking a few for the pot at least people were kept busy bit unfortunate that nothing decent to report from further out. Picture today of Dan Jackson with few keepers also thanks to other lads, Dave, Will, Matt,Shane,Josh,Jonny, Rodger and Matty was great weather conditions and we caught fish most of the the day appreciate you guys washing down as well. Look forward to seeing you soon. Jon. High Flyer.

Had a great day out on Saturday the 11th of October with with John on the High Flyer My first time out with the skipper with my Dad. My dad says Jon is one of the best skippers he has been out with and he has been out many times with different skippers from all over the UK . He was helpful and and provided a good flow of drinks chocolate biscuits and top cup a soups,The boat was clean, fast and plenty of space for everyone. We had a steady stream of fish all day. The company and banter was great all day it was a shame that Dave kept having to show Jon what cod looked like!!! A first class day and for sure we will be back again thanks a ton Jon and look forward to next time. If you get the chance book up with Jon you will not be disappointed.

Just bringing us up to date most of the charters have been fishing inshore. Main reason is the strong south west winds that just havent seemed to give us a break, Also too warm plenty of small codling about inshore lucky for us, most days producing between fifty and hundred codling of all sizes. I must compliment most of our anglers with conservation in mind for throwing back the codling as it can only help our stocks not much point in taking fish even if there legal size if no meal is involved.Also all the boys returning the female thornbacks well done great to see, as we have had a run of them still few left hoping to get out a bit if we get a reasonable day weather wise. The whiting are plentiful as always the better fish coming on our fresh herring baits also last week a run of very small spotty dogs not sure where they came from but always happy to catch them. Picture of the report is someone taking 5 mins cant name Trevor for legal reasons must be the codling wearing him out! Hoping for a cold spell soon we could really do with it not the odd frost but good few weeks as this should bring the better fish in ,will be doing some distance as and when we can. Our weekends always go first as you can see by the calender i do keep it up to date within the day so generally accurate most evenings should you want a trip. Planning on evening trips put your name forward by text or email will be working out the best dates as we work around slack water so obviously limited days. Well thats me done hope to see you at some point until then tight lines to you all. Jon. High Flyer.
PS. Fishing trip vouchers for xmas are in can be taken any time of year make great personal present. -

Great day today light winds plenty of sunshine pleasure to be out. Strong tides today last of them decided to keep inshore again no choice really but paid off with fish virtually all day long from the off. Most fish small codling keepers among them returned three quarters of them even though in size limits great to see conservation wish we all saw that around the country we would have far more sport. Whiting pain again not too many biggies today our fresh herring bringing in the better ones. Only one small skate today for Ian, few pouting as well over the rocky ground with few spotty dogs coming in and surprisingly few nice flounders reasonable size on rough ground! Pictured today is Chris and Dave press ganged late last night at nearly 8.00pm to take quick picture for report , no one wanted to go home! Ended up with over 60 plus codling easily lost count to be honest , was great day all round hoping some bigger fish start turning up as now herring making a show and it felt nippy on the fingers first thing so hopefully bit of cold turning up. Thanks to all the boys specially new comers Marty and Pat from Luton appreciate you making the journey, Lakenheath boys Dave,Dan and Andy, and regulars Dave,Chris and Ian really enjoyed it hope you all got told off for being late !
all the best. Jon. (High Flyer) -

Todays trip was with regulars from DXB Water Company with Derek Ball and friends. Weather was great and tides quite weak it was decided to try inshore on the spot we had a reasonable result from few days previous. Things paid off with codling coming in straight away aboard 24
in total, with 17 takers, all around 34 - 44cm, we also took 3 big whiting
35 -38 cm and had 5 good size dabs; not bad with just 4 anglers today . Picture today is Derek, with Keith with few of the keeper codling. Big thanks for helping out washing down, always a pleasure to see you guys, thanks also to Howard and Jeff, looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks where hopefully get out to deeper water to see if the biggies are following the herring that seems to have just showed up. All the best.

Forcast today of SW decided to head south of Lowestoft on the banks rather than Hemsby Hole as previous thoughts , wind against tide to start and a 2.8m tide raging through i was rather thinking fishing was going to be bit on the hard side! Had four first timers on the Flyer so no pressure, was on our mark within three quarters expecting to wait a while before the fish started feeding but straight away small codling onboard followed by few very tiny spotty dogs . The whiting were not quality fish like beginning of the week but todays were generally all small and returned to grow. Few more spotties through the day about a dozen, couple of flatties thrown in , no skate for us today or smoothounds which was strange. Ended up with 33 keeper codling average 2 to 3 pounds overall, returned quite a few smaller ones as well. Was a great start to the season for codling as we are in change over period water still warm really. Big thanks to Dave for catching too many, and all first timers on the Flyer Andy,Dan,Lawrie and Frank enjoyed the day men had a good result and thanks for washing down too! Todays results strengthen my belief we are going to have a good season this year hopefully bigger fish than previous years , looking forward to a bit of cold for once! All the best. Jon. High Flyer

Been a bit slack on the reports lately due to being out the water for winter refit now all done, plus last few trips not fantastic as in between summer/winter period so catching a few skate and doggies but also small winter codling and whiting making a show. Plenty of fish really bit on the small side but keeping the anglers busy better than nothing! Report covers weekend of 4/5th with Sat being very lumpy, strong southerly whipping the sea up, fishing wasnt too bad with Stephen pictured here with 3 nice skate, about dozen smoothies same for spotty dogs and whiting most of the day. Had to run for home early day at 2.30pm as sea turned bit nasty time to call it a day.
Totally different Sunday no wind, flat as your hat pleasure to be out, got let down by 6 anglers thanks lads its only my living, rest of us had cracking day weather wise no skate today unfortunately not sure why?. The whiting were on the bite all day practically, kept a few for the table , had about 20 smoothies all released back nice to see well done, about dozen spotty dogs as well all put back , big thanks to first timers Bob, Tia and Scott on High Flyer and regular Chris, many thanks for washing down. Good weekend in all thanks to everyone, looking forward to these codling coming in soon, need a few frosts! Please note as we are constantly getting let down we are now insisting on using our £20 per head deposit system to cure the problem, sorry to all those reliable ,dependable people out there. Cheers, Jon. High Flyer.
