Report on-board High Flyer 2
Looked at the forcast few days previous conditions were near on perfect for a night session so decided to try inshore in the roads with a few regulars on High Flyer in the hope of possibly better fish at night. Armed with fresh lug, blacks, salted baits, the new imported squid and the kitchen sink we headed out straight to the rough ground in slightly deeper water to our day time activities my plan being the odd decent fish might be about. Unfortunately no double figure cod tonight but did notice better quality fish all round with our normal daytime tiddlers not so prevalent, most being in prime condition. Well done for throwing back fish men great to see conservation, keepers around the 20 mark in total roughly. Few pouting and pesky whiting most of the night ,none kept left to grow ,pleased to see only dampener was the hour long drizzle but apart from that the time flew and it was gone midnight as we moored up. Good night had by all ,i do think the fish feed better generally after dark and when theres no wind it is a absoloute pleasure in being out there you have to experience it to believe it. Big thanks to Paul pictured here with his keepers also Dan and Andy , Dave and Jamie, Chris and Len, was pleasure to be out. If you fancy a night session please get in touch either call, text or email, will add you to the list as we obviously have to work around the weather and pick the right tides so you get the best fishing, leave about 6pm return for midnight so you can go to work next morning!! Till then tight lines everyone. Jon. (High Flyer)

Its been a while since my last report on CBUK but its been a busy few months aboard the ‘Galloper’. Autumn has been kind to us with loads of codling about to provide us with great sport and all on our door step. The river blackwater has often fished as well or better than marks further afield with loads of codling and whiting coming out along with thornback rays and other bits and bobs. The numbers of codling have been the best I’ve ever seen in there which can only be a good thing. With the fishing being so good in the shelter of the estuary we have lost very few days to bad weather. That’s a bonus to our customers saving them from having to re-organise several anglers to another date that suits them. Its not many ports that can provide catches of 30-60 codling a trip in conditions that force many poor souls to cancel.
We haven’t spent all of our time in the river though and when we get further afield there are still numbers of rays showing. This isn’t uncommon nowadays and is helped by the mild weather. I will also add that I think the mild weather doesn’t have a negative effect on the cod fishing. This seasons numbers prove that to my mind with a mild autumn and great numbers of fish about.
Even further offshore has been a bit of a dogfest so far but our last trip was a little more promising and all credit to those who keep putting the effort in as that’s the best way to get results. I have a few spaces on various trips before the new year and plenty available in 2015 for more information, available dates or regular reports please visit my website. www.essexseafishing.co.ukUPCOMING INDIVIDUAL SPACES ONBOARD Galloper

Report on-board High Flyer 2
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.
