Bit of a choppy start start to the day from last nights blow, went off to a six mile bank i hadnt used for a while down to weather been too windy lately, started off well with doggies straight away. As tide weakened nice sizeable bass and doggie on same line would you believe! Ended up with 9.2 lb skate from the mark before moving to a bass mark which proved no good only few small dogs so ended up back inshore to finish our day. Another couple of skate for us of just over 8lb and 4lb along with more dogs and handfull of lovely dabs. No smoothies at all anywhere today maybe tides were too weak for them? Big thanks to Derek from DXB Water for organizing the trip and Keith,Rhichard and Rob all the way from Brentwood,appreciate you guys making the journey. Was a pleasant end to the day with calm water and we got a nice mixture of fish. See you guys next month, all the best. Jon.

Forcast today very strong SW winds no choice but to head North using the tides to our advantage ended up off Winterton. Arrived on slack waited for the flood the doggies came on as expected with nice little smoothy thinking we were in for a good day. Unfortunately the heavens opened ,the sky turned pink with lightening, as always turns the fish right off. Had a move further North , went through numerous downpours and with strong gusts all day made conditiions not great. Fair play to all today spirits kept up, had a great sport as tide slackened and i decided to dab bash changing hooks etc, getting the black lug out.Ended up keeping about 40 odd dabs pictured here, countless returned ,had fun all round. Big thanks to everyone from Mildenhall Base,Shannon for organizing the trip much appreciated, Breanna,Cierra,Ian,Joe,Justin,Andy,Matthew, and Steve ,hope you all enjoyed the day despite the weather well done to you all. Look forward to seeing you all again at some point. All the best. Jon.

Windy old North easterly again,getting fed up of the weather,this is mid June you know! Tried hiding up the Spoils for a bit of protection first fish small pup smoothies, as tide eased made our way North to skate ground.Ended up with 3 crackers pictured here , the fish not the ugly anglers! Plenty of dogs about keeping us busy too. Moved after the ebb got bit uncomfortable back South ending up with more dogs, one lovely size smoothound for Brian worth a photo, small smoothy pups again and few dabs. Thanks to local lads Mitch, Collin and Ron, Brian and son Jay, Steve Clarke and John Halliwell, was a most enjoyable day despite the wind, plenty of stick all round, never mind Collin the lads told me the skate tasted great you can always buy some at tescos if you cant catch your own!!!!

Very windy again today fron the north east, suppossed to be mid june ,weather more like october. Headed north to a small hole on the inside which generally pays off. John pictured here picked up our only skate of the day ,nice fish of 9lb, the others getting few reasonable size smoothounds which are starting to make a show along with the spotties who today seemed a bit shy for some reason. Moved south into the Roads for a bit of shelter,more dogs and picked up about dozen nice dabs in total to finish the day off. Big thanks to all the lads who came from Northampton appreciate you making the journey and especially to Mick for organizing the trip. Also John first time on the Flyer and Dave Smith too. Many thanks men, hoping for better weather next time, enjoyed the day though lots of good banter as usual! All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

Todays wrecking trip scuppered by the weather, strong northerlys again, decided to stay inshore and be safe.
Started in the Roads to hide up only to be greeted by commercial longliner and various other craft so headed north to a little hole i use . Paid off with over 50 mixed dogs and smoothies, coming aboard , no flatties today or skate really did expect them on the weak tides today. Big thanks to Andy for sorting out the trip, much appreciated, picture of Paul Alford ,todays top angler with some of his catch. Sorry about the weather lads, well done for sticking the day hope its kinder to us next time. All the best. Jon. -

Another great trip out with Jon on Sat 1st June. There was to much wind for the wrecks but stayed inshore, still had a great day over 50 doggies caught. The coffee and tea flowing all day with biscuits and choc bars as usual. If you have never been on High Flyer i can highly recommend it , Jon is very helpful and will always try and put you on the fish. Thanks again for a great day.

Today was spent with the special forces pictured here see if you can recognize any of them. All fish were returned today, well done men ,nice to have a bit of conservation now and then. We ended up with having a half day down to the weather not playing ball, bit on the windy side but managed to catch about 25 spotty dogs of all sizes and one skate. Big thanks to the lads, thank you for teaching me unarmed combat skills and how to strip a SA80 in ten seconds might come in handy one day if i get attacked by Somali Pirates off Gt Yarmouth!
Pleasure to have you aboard was a enjoyable day and good luck for the future for one particular man. Mums the word! All the best. Jon. ( High Flyer) -

What a great day out, lots of fish, lots of laughs, even the weather was on our side for a change (we haven't had a lot of luck with the weather this year so far, but this made up for a lot of the rough old trips). All trips should be like this but even in the rougher trips this winter I've never had a trip on Highflyer when I haven't enjoyed myself. I only went for the dabs because Chalky said he wanted some for his granddaughter. a poor excuse I know but it's the only one I can think of.

Lovely start to the day weather wise, unfortunately tide caught us little bit wrong so a bit of waiting around. Made the decision to wait inshore been caught out before, paid off with the lovely skate pictured , both falling to Mitch one 11Lb 1oz the other esimated between 4 and 5lb. Few doggie showed up for us first of the season, glad to see them! As tide weakened headed north out to a skate mark which produced nothing very strange never failed before. wind became a bit strong at this point so we decided to head back in to our original mark for shelter. Ended up with countless doggies , the two skate from same mark, couple of flatties thrown in. Thanks to Stu for organizing the lads, Terry, young Owen, Kev,Rob,Clive, with Lee ,first timer all way from Bedford,appreciate you travelling, also Mitch todays champion, and Collin and Ron, was a most enjoyable day with good banter as usual, hope this season proves a good one. Nice to see you all, All the best. Jon.
