Report on-board Lady Grace
Today we had a 3 hour trip booked for John and Rob. Once the anchor was down Rob started us off with the first couple of whiting and then had his first cod while John stayed very quiet biding his time before catching 3 cod up to the high water. A lovely still calm day producing a total of 4 cod and 2 whiting for 3 hours

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Forcast for wind later was the report from our reliable weather friends, so decided to go slightly later at 9am to catch the start of the ebb on a SW which should prove reasonably comfortable for all. Unfortunately they lied again as the wind picked up forcing us to hug the shore. Started just outside the harbour today at slack bit later than the timetable predicted cught few little whitting ,the dabs not playing ball as they usually do. Moved further down to the Norman wreck for few more of the same,couple of dabs came in, and then onto Corton again to one of our spots on the rough. Had the place to ourselves for once ,the radio silent, had they heard a forcast we hadnt! Start of the ebb came with a few whitting not prolific as they had been, quieter than usual, ended up with only one cod on the boat between 4 and 5 pound, well done to Paul for that one pictured here,lost couple probably down to the weed in the water just didnt seem to be feeding hard. Ended up getting reasonably lumpy wind around the 30 -40 mph so called it a day at 3pm before tide changed. Big thanks to the Halliburton lads especially Jamie for organising everyone, Paul layton, Paul D, Jamie B,Greg,Mark.and Matt, sorry about the beating rain too! Thought you all done well, appreciate you coming out looking forward to our other trips we talked about. Cheers men. Jon. (High Flyer)

This week has been really testing as biggest surge since 1953 hit us on Thursday night , the High Flyer was inches from coming over the quay wall on the high water, debris everywhere was quite frightening and spectacular but also humbling to witness the raw power of the sea. We cancelled fridays trip, headed out Sat to still swelly conditions, the weed and marran grass was prolific all day making fishing extremely difficult. .Ended up hiding inshore Sat quite lucky with a few dabs and whiting for our efforts really hard day. Sunday weather slightly calmer armed with previous day knowledge headed right inside 500 yards off the beach to dodge the weed. Payed off with 3 cod landed, one scabby and returned, Dave pictured here with one of them. We lost 2 others at side of the boat tides pulling strong today. Few whiting came in not as many as usual so decided to flatty bash for the last 2 hours on my favourite mud patch. Plenty of the little blighters giving us a bit of sport to save the day. Thanks to all the lads over the weekend,thought we done well for the conditions.Looking to do a few evening trips if anyone interested please email or ring, starting to get colder now signs of these cod eventually turning up! Lets hope so. Tight lines everyone . Jon. (High Flyer)

Today's 4 hour fishing trip started off with a few whiting then all went quiet for a while before Stuart caught a cod. As we were on a 4 hour trip but had to travel a fair distance due to being a neap low water it meant we only got 2 hours fishing time so had to go in shortly after Stuart caught his cod. We ended with 1 cod and 8 whiting

Cod fishing offshore was slow to start this year but they are ther now seeing many around 8 to 9lb
With a few bigger ones showing up from time to time. As the water cools more will show still bit slow at times but worth waiting it out as ther has been 3 over 20s out the last few weeks on live baits plenty of nice size rokar coming up and lots of whiting too skipper mark peters View Boats Page

After the big seas that we had last week we didont know what to expect from the trips at the w/end Saturday ran off to the Holm bank as I new there would be a lot of weed inside a few Dabs and Whiting, ran back inside and had a few more of the same for Natalie and Michaels party,Sunday ran north off the church bit lumpy only managed a few Dabs and Whiting came back inside but loads of weed covering baits so decided to head back south but it was much the same until this aftermath settles then things will improve hopefully tomorrow hope you all have a great xmas and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year Brian

Today I had 2 people on a 4 hour trip. It was a little slow to start with just a few whiting caught by Nina and John unfortunately wasn't catching much. As we got to.the to of the tide Nina was in with a cod whivh put up a lovely fight and shortly after on the first of the ebb I caught a cod too. John caught a few whiting and then caught a little dab. 2 cod, 1 dab and 9 whiting today in total, not quite as good as the last few trips but better luck next time.

Its been a mixed week with 4 trips under our belt and 1 more to go we started off on Tuesday with Total Sea Fishing competion winners that were staying at Sunrise Chalets Kessingland,we ran off to the Newcome Bank to see if there were some decent fish showing as I haven't been out there for a while it was a bit lumpy stayed a couple of hours conditions got a bit worse we had a few Whitings & Dabs but no Cod decided to run inside a bit to the S/holm a few more Whitings and Dabs no Cod Showing on these outer marks yet, last 2hrs fished the Stanford channel loads of good sized Whitings & Dabs with yes you've got it a Cod coming in at just under 4lbs in prime condition well done you two and hope you had a safe journey back to Plymouth and Kingsbridge,
Wednesday Saw the boys from RAF Maraham fished off Corton today as reports were good for that area sat on the church mark till 13.00 with only 1 Cod showing but plenty of Whiting ran inside just off the beach approx. 300-400yds had 9 more Cod all around the 2lb-3lb size they were well pleased,
Thursday went straight to the N/Roads only a few Whiting today but one of them went just over 2lb what a lovely fish we had 4 Cod on the ebb and another 8 on the flood these fish were all around the 2lbish size,
Friday proved to be a change for the worse with only 2 Cod showing from snag ally and only 4 Whiting it was one of the most disappointing days I have endued for a long time considering what the trips had been like this week but that is fishing well done all and see you all again soon,bp View Boats Page
