Report on-board High Flyer 2
Had the place to ourselves today, mostly due to the 40mph winds! Lost previous day due to weather becoming ridiculous for this time of year everything is at least a month behind. Had to hide up inshore as strong tides today, within minutes fish coming aboard usual doggies and a lovely surprise for Carl with a sole normally a nocturnal fish nice to see. Moved onto a skate mark to end the flood resulting in just one around 5lb,was hoping to stay for the first run but the wind proved too much so moved again North to hide up. Plenty of dogs again, few flats, on the ebb , had to shift again to our final position the weather knocking us sidewards at anchor! Positioned ourselves in a little alley i found last year proved to pay off with some lovely smoothounds coming in some nice keepers around the 6lb mark average , usual dogs and odd flatty. Was a reasonable day for the conditions well done to the lads few firstimers on High Flyer,thanks for sticking it lads.
Thanks to John from Milton Keynes,Mike from Hull, Adam and Scott pictured here all first timers onboard today, and regulars Carl,Brian,Derek,James,and Dave , much appreciated men. All the best. Jon. View Boats Page

Report on-board Eastern Promise 2
It started as just another days fishing. Met office forecast was not brilliant but ok, we said good morning to Derek at about 07.00 and soon after we were heading out, just jogging along on tick over and were soon about 15 miles off, the wind turbines came and went and after about 45 minutes we dropped anchor. First fish was soon caught by the Master Thatcher James, a doggie so he gets a pound coin from each angler. A steady flow of fish followed Roker, Smoothounds and of course Doggies everybody was very happy and pulling each other’s leg, like you do. I asked Derek if there were any Mackerel about he said no (he tells you straight) so I put feathers on another rod and played about until I got bored no Mackerel here . But what’s this it’s a cup of that lovely tea coming out of the wheelhouse, fish are still coming everyone still laughing , leg’s are getting longer after about 3 hours (still catching fish) Derek said do you fancy a move as they are catching more fish closer in we said ok if you like, so the anchor came up and off we set, and we were off like a Scrambled Tornado Jet down the runway, we took our hats off so not to lose them, Then I thought he’s going the wrong way we were heading further out and out we went (this has to be paid for fuel and time you see but he knows we don’t mind) I didn’t ask as I knew he had something up his sleeve and not just his arm, after about another 7 or 8 miles the rev’s started to drop and we started going round and round in circles, I looked at the sounder and said to Derek is that a shoal of Mackerel he said no more like Whitebait, the anchor was dropped and the baits went over the side more Smoothounds, doggies more tea everybody happy. This is getting good plenty of fish a few hours went by then another very short move and all hell broke out We hit Bass returned about 20 and kept 35. (The Bass were spitting out Whitebait.) What a Fantastic day we also took Mackerel home. Where we, I know as Derek showed me on the plotter but it’s not for me to say as other skippers will read this so if you want to know more you will have to book the boat. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH DEREK See you in July.
Ps. Mark got the Fivers for the biggest fish a Roker. View Boats Page

Bit of a choppy start start to the day from last nights blow, went off to a six mile bank i hadnt used for a while down to weather been too windy lately, started off well with doggies straight away. As tide weakened nice sizeable bass and doggie on same line would you believe! Ended up with 9.2 lb skate from the mark before moving to a bass mark which proved no good only few small dogs so ended up back inshore to finish our day. Another couple of skate for us of just over 8lb and 4lb along with more dogs and handfull of lovely dabs. No smoothies at all anywhere today maybe tides were too weak for them? Big thanks to Derek from DXB Water for organizing the trip and Keith,Rhichard and Rob all the way from Brentwood,appreciate you guys making the journey. Was a pleasant end to the day with calm water and we got a nice mixture of fish. See you guys next month, all the best. Jon.

Fished to the north of the town today with a bit of chop in the water it was a good call plenty of Spotty Dogs of all sizes when we started to fish at the back end of the ebb Arron got into the first fish a big Hound coming in at 5lb gave him a good run then Simon had a cracking uptide bite what I thought would be a good sized Bass ended up a 6lb Cod then he followed it up with another Cod a bit smaller then it was Arrons turn again he picked up a 4lb Rooker Gary and Dan were only picking up Spottys so there was plenty of banter then as we were packing up Arron had another big Hound touching 8lb well done you boys and look forward to seeing you all again soon,Brian.

Forcast today very strong SW winds no choice but to head North using the tides to our advantage ended up off Winterton. Arrived on slack waited for the flood the doggies came on as expected with nice little smoothy thinking we were in for a good day. Unfortunately the heavens opened ,the sky turned pink with lightening, as always turns the fish right off. Had a move further North , went through numerous downpours and with strong gusts all day made conditiions not great. Fair play to all today spirits kept up, had a great sport as tide slackened and i decided to dab bash changing hooks etc, getting the black lug out.Ended up keeping about 40 odd dabs pictured here, countless returned ,had fun all round. Big thanks to everyone from Mildenhall Base,Shannon for organizing the trip much appreciated, Breanna,Cierra,Ian,Joe,Justin,Andy,Matthew, and Steve ,hope you all enjoyed the day despite the weather well done to you all. Look forward to seeing you all again at some point. All the best. Jon.
