Report on-board Gloria B11
HI all you fishing guys and girls out there, have not spoken to you in a long time but I have been very busy. I thought I would just let you know what's catching, it would seem that the summer fishing is coming to the end and the winter fishing is on its way with cod and whiting and skate catches making up the bags. Although the skate have never left us, but the catches have been a lot smaller and smaller smoothhounds are on there way out. What I can say is I have had a good smoothhound season. I think there has been a drop in mature bass with not many double figures and over being caught, this year our best being 11ibs. A good thing for this winter is the codling are on the way I had 7 small codling the other day and they are earlier than last year. Last year they came in October, By the way guys and girls just to let you know I have dropped my prices from the 1st of this month to £350 up to eight persons and £50 for individuals bait and rods supplied snacks coffee and tea all day long,
okay that's my lot. View Boats Page

It was going to be a interesting trip today with strong tides and a forcast that could go one way or another so it was off to the 3 mile bank that has looked after us in the past and with condition a bit unpredictable it was not to far off if things got a bit lumpy,so with the anchor down it was not long before the first of many fish were coming aboard sadly a lot of small Whiting taking the baits plus a few spoty dogs to but we stuck at it and finally the first Rooker put in a show a nice fish around the 4lb mark as the tide picked up the fish went off the feed a bit but with so many virmin down there taking the baits i decided to have a move and it payed off with 3 more Rooker showing the best being 8lb and plenty more virmin to contend with some coming in at around the 1lb size it ended up a cracking day for Rik and his freinds,look forward to seeing you all again soon and i hope you feel a bit next time Graig,BP.

After yesterdays blow wind turned southwest stll a bit of swell on as tide flooded so decided to head south again keeping us inshore without any choice. Joined another couple of boats today nice to see people out, straight away into a codling nice keeper for Keith. Followed by a spotty dog and a whiting all within ten minutes of arriving on full flood! Stayed right up to slack water wind was quite blustery at times , ended up with few spotty dogs , numerous whiting few keepers and couple of thrown back codling extremely dark almost black in colour! Moved out to deeper water as tide started to ebb, jeff pictured here with biggest fish of the day nice smoothy around the 6 pound mark, apart from few small whiting and more spottys was quite poor on the ebb very strange. Had a final move up the top end of the Holm but getting too lumpy started dragging anchor moved right inside to finish the day off. wasnt fantastic day but had few fish all round few for the table good day had by all. Thanks to Derek for organising , along with Keith, Mike ,Chris,Paul and Jeff, much appreciated for cleaning down too! Look forward to our trips next month hopefully do some distance next time. All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

Lumpy old day today, touch and go really to start, left at 9am to give ourselves a chance with these strong tides. Needed to find a bit of shelter wind against tide straight southerly on the nose so hid under the cliffs at Tramps Alley end to start. Started off ok surprised to find a few early whiting few keepers among them, some spotty dogs made a appearance along with a nice plump codling. As the day progreesed we headed out to the centre of the Roads in the deeper water caught few nice smoothies biggest around 5 to 6 lb mark, few more codling all returned well done lads for a bit of conservation. Even though within size limits nice to get a meal if you are going to keep them. Len pictured here with a surprised catch of a nice eel not that common as they used to be, ended up a real species day with flattie,whiting,eel,codling ,spotty dogs and smoothies! Nothing to shout about size wise today but kept us busy , was testing a bit with the rain but lads all done well and we got fish. Many thanks to Alan , Zak and Corey from Peterborough first time on the Flyer, along with regulars Dave,Len and Paul, was enjoyable day ,look forward to seeing you all again soon. All the best, Jon.

Headed out today with light westerly forcast told the lads to feather up for sandeels as we left the harbour. 15 minutes later i looked a plonker as we headed into a ten foot swells of the wind farm and a strengthening northerly off the bow and after dodging a small boat i could hardly see in the lumps i ran back inside for cover yet once again! Decided to hold up in the Holes, produced a nice smoothy first off for Clive on holiday, few small followed but the weed came from nowhere making life impossible. Up anchor and headed south to Corton bank to join other charter boat weed free, caught straight away small spotty dogs, more smoothies and nice couple of skate one pictured here, with regular on High Flyer, Dave Mingay. Was very lumpy offshore so stayed inside all day but had reasonable amount of sport all round with few whiting now making a show and the odd early codling. Many thanks to Chris, mark and Andy, Clive and Dave and locals John and Dave, was good day of banter appreciate the lads with distance making the trip shame we couldnt get out but thats the weather! All the best . Jon. High Flyer

Windy old day again whats new? Hands tied once again making us stay inshore we decided to try our winter spot down at good old Corton. Started a bit slow, few small smoothies came aboard, bit too slow for my liking decided to have a move slightly further off in the deeper water. The move paid off with a few small codling bit amazed to see this time of year, then to add insult to injury whiting decided to make a show!
One lucky person pictured here caught a nice size lobster David Mingay most popular angler on the boat that day, to top it all Ian who caught another lobster few months ago was on too! How bizzare! Few more smoothies to finish the day off , moved up to the flatty ground on the ebb but very poor for them, just more small smoothies. Enjoyed the day despite the wind not allowing us out, everyone caught a few fish, thanks to all the lads and hope Dave enjoyed his posh meal!
all the best.
