Report on-board Kelley's Hero Charters
We have had a busy week this week, mackerel trips, wrecking and inshore trips.
Firstly, what a pleasant surprise it was waking up to find some mackerel at the beginning of the week. We headed out of the harbor and literally ran straight into them before we could even get into deeper water. They were bubbling on the surface and the birds were going mad. The shoals around us were absolutely amazing to see. We haven't seen this for a good few years.
Thursday's weather wasn't looking great in the afternoon, so we decided that we would have an early start, we left the marina at 0630. Once we got out of the harbor, it didn't look that nice on the horizon, so we headed straight for shelter. The first thing we did was drift for some fresh mackerel to use as bait, after about half an hour we had a bucket full of bait and table fish. We put the anchor down and the first fish we had in 10 minutes was a bass of around 3lb. Over the duration of the day we had another 2 bass (the biggest of 5lb), and 16 undulate rays (biggest being 16.5lb). We headed back in with the weather getting worse, having had a great day. But being a charter boat we have to take the rough with the smooth. We had a great day fishing, but the downside was we lost our anchor. So off we went and had to buy a new anchor, chain and rope :-(.
Saturday we headed mid channel, to try and find some of the late pollack and cod off of the wrecks, it certainly was hard work. We tried wreck after wreck, and were begining to lost sight of our goal. Eventually we managed to find a wreck, that produced some nice cuckoo wrasse, pollack, and a nice ling. We ended the day with a bit of drifting for bass, and had around 7 or 8, the biggest being 7lb+. The weather chopped up a little bit so we had to head inshore sooner than expected. After the 110 miles we did, the net around the prop we had and the weather that came up, we were glad to get back in and head to the bar. Still a good day had by all.
Sunday we had another inshore trip. This started very slow, even though we did have a couple of good bites and fish that came off half way up. We moved and waited for the tide to get away. Im glad we did, as we managed to find some smoothounds, undulate rays, and spotted rays. We did have some fresh mackerel to start with so that helped in finding the fish. The weather picked up again in the afternoon as they said it would. So again we had to head for shelter and try and find some more mackerel to take back in with us for dinner. As it was still pretty much slack tide, we didn't find too many. However after quite an eventful week, Kelleys Hero is back in for a rest for one day, and back out again on Tuesday.
So apart from a bit of hard work, a few glitches in the plan, a great week was had!

Report on-board Lead Us
A lovely morning out with Charles and his family 30-07-16
Headed out with on a lovely morning to a mark off Lowestoft.We arrived at slack water which gave me a little time to get everything organized with the baits hitting the bottom as soon as the tide started to ebb. Within a few minutes the back rod started to go and the first fish was on which was more than a task to reel in for the young lad with help, shortly a fine 7lb thornback was lifted aboard. Over the course of the morning being a 4hr trip 3 more thornbacks of varying sizes were landed and a nice 7lb smoothound with everyone landing a good fish making for a happy family and an experience the boys will remember for a long time.

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Great day today weather wise decided to take advantage and head out in search for tope as requested. Started off with a bit of feathering the mackerel not thick bit patchy, the sandeels came in all the while. Few flatties and weavers to add. I caught small cod over a wreck nice stocking filler. After filling the tubs we decided to drift for bass wind spun the boat in a circle bit of a pain so anchored up just off the rough water in 60ft. First tope was the smallest 16lb , then a 19lb followed by a 20lb and finally picture here of Chris Merrison with todays biggest of 30lb, we boated four and lost three others pity really. Big thanks to Chris Morgan for organising the lads from Bedford,Chris, Melvin,John , also regulars Barry ,Gareth,and Chris and finally another Chris Kilpatrick with his first tope ever well done men. So after a confusing day with four Chris,s on the boat today was most enjoyable look forward to seeing you all soon. Cheers men, Jon (High Flyer)
