Report on-board Seawatch1
With the codling thinning out a bit we decided to target the Rays over the weekend and found them in some serious numbers,Saturday the best day with fifty five Thornbacks up to eleven pounds, the guys keeping a few for the table but the majority returned to spawn and fight another day.We also had a few codling to four pounds and the first Bass of the season on Seawatch at three pounds ( also returned alive).The Ray and Bass fishing should keep improving over the next few weeks,so if you fancy it give me a ring.

Went out with Jon, late booking, got us out of the mess what had occurred with another skipper, Jon however was an absolute bosting bloke, top notch, had a wicked day and a good crack too, I would recommend the high flyer and Jon to anyone, made my weekend, ultra clean boat and fitted to a very high spec, loved every second of it. Cheers Jon!

Headed out today with the lads from Birmingham way, bit of lump on the water with a blowy westerley ,trying our luck to start with on the Corton Bank as had caught few spotty dogs during the week there. Unfortunately the pesky whiting were around nabbing the baits first as usual not letting us have any luck . Moved back right inshore to join few other boats at Snag Alley as the ebb was just starting, results were small codling again along with a few keeper whiting basically what had been happening all week. Seemed to be the same with the other boats, plenty of fish just the wrong size! After suffering a few hours there we decided to move to the flatty ground as the tide was weakening, more small codling and whiting ,the odd keeper and glad to say few nice flatties pictured here with top angler Jimmy! Was a hard day at times i thought all the lads done extremely well, every fish took effort today and changing tactics here and there paid off. Big thanks to Ian,Scott,Paddy,Ady,Tony,Martin,Matt,Adam,Ryan and Jim, enjoyed the day thoroughly ,good banter, was a pleasure to take you out. Hope to see you in the summer for better fishing offshore. Much appreciated. Jon. High Flyer.

At last the weather relented and we have managed to put a few trips together in the last couple of weeks.The large shoals of Herring in our area have affected the cod fishing and given us the odd quiet day but the better days still seeing us catch up to thirty Codling in the two to three pound bracket with a good showing of Thornbacks to sixteen pounds.Over the next few weeks the Thornbacks will increase in numbers and be joined by the other summer species Bass,Smoothounds etc,so some good fishing to look forward to

Lost yesterday Sat 8th due to strong winds again, stirred the sea up a bit for today Sunday 9th bit of swell still about keeping us inshore once again. The forcast of SW winds is wrong again straight southerly all day making wind against tide on the flood rather testing to say the least. With the anchor trying to fight the boat ,the swell building and the wind straight in our faces i thought the lads all done well today. Before the flood started we managed to pick up nice little sizeable codling, few whiting keepers, bit slower than i would have liked it to be honest. The flood brought another codling pictured here with Len, two spotty dogs, and more undersize codling and whiting so decided to finish off with a move back north which resluted in couple of nice flatties and yes more undersize codling and whiting! Probably just the time of year with a lot of small fish about, would like to mention numerous sizable whiting were returned along with the spotty dogs well done men nice to see a bit of conservation. Thanks to Jez for organizing his crew, Leo,Alex,Nick and Lee, and also to Ian,Tony,Gary and Greg first timers on the Flyer hope you enjoyed your day. Many thanks lads good to see few dogs getting about inshore , wont be long for the skate then the smoothies. Roll on the summer. All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

Report on-board Why Worry
Saturday 1st March 2014 saw us at last get a half reasonable day's weather. The guys wanted to get a few Thornback Rays for the freezer. A big tide, not the best for Ray fishing but I have few marks up my sleeve that means we can normally find a few fish and make the fishing a little more comfortable by using the various sandbanks in the Thames Estuary to break the tide a little.
The fishing never disappointed and the guys managed to fill there Freezers after a long winter of wind and more wind! We had around 30 Rays on the boat. Some returned, some kept. View Boats Page
