    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    Set out on a lovely calm day with a wind forcast for later. Headed out for those first skate or bass armed with every bait know to man. Out to a bank only few miles out that has come up trumps for me for those early spring fish. Started off with whiting and dads, few nice doggies among them. Great to see our first smoothhounds of the season come aboard although only small. After slack the wind started to get up proving uncomfortable on the bank so we headed in off a local mark where Paul caught two nice codling pictured here.More whiting and dabs along with the doggies came aboard in all not a bad day for this time of year. Big thanks to the Stamford lads Keith,Ian,Adi this weeks winner! also Paul,and Ken, together with Ben from Northampton, Charlie and son Karl first time on the Flyer and regular customer Paul Layton , appreciate all you guys travelling so far hope you enjoyed your day. Jon.

  • 13/04/2012 Fishing Report by Rich Ward on Shy-Torque III (Whitby, North Yorkshire)

    13 Apr 2012 by Rich Ward

    Report on-board Shy-Torque III

    Whitby's spring angling competition started here on Saturday. Sadly with the current Northerly airflow down the East coast at the moment we haven't been able to get the competitors away. When we have been this last week though the fishing has been quite good. The inshore ground marks are starting to produce with some nice cod to 9lb on the shad.
    The competition runs until 29th April so there is still time to try and grab yourselves the winning first prize of £1000.00 !! We have a couple of days with odd spaces left. Check our website's availability calendar for spaces.
    Pictured is Martin Berry from Retford Notts with a nice cod of 9lb.

  • 14/04/2012 Fishing Report by carl porter on Hard Labour (Wallasea Island, Essex)

    Report on-board Hard Labour

    8 rods on the boat today, a couple of seasoned anglers and a few novices. The trip out to the offshore grounds was a bit lively to say the least with wind against tide, but once the hook was set the boat sat steady at anchor. Action on the ebb tide was hectic with skate after skate hitting the deck and at times 3 rods into fish at the same time.As the tide slowed so did the fishing although fish were still coming to the net steadily. The flood started to fish much the same as the ebb finished but picked up as the tide made. There were a few more dogfish around this week as the water temp has increased. Also we saw a greater number of smoothhounds with the largest going just over 8 lb. Final tally for the day was well over 50 roker on the boat with each angler taking a couple for the table and the rest returned. No monsters this week biggest skate was a tad over 11 lb. the crew on board had a really good day out with plenty of fish and the weather went in our favour too.
