Report on-board PLAN B
This weekends fishing all cancelled due to high winds :( will be re-loading all boat reels with new line and replacing all terminal tackle.. it will be getting tested by the hounds / bass very shortly. The boat engine is getting a service and the new cabin / wheelhouse upholstery should be arriving.. so not all bad.
Skiff has had an overhall as well, shot blasted and about to be painted

What a great day out, lots of fish, lots of laughs, even the weather was on our side for a change (we haven't had a lot of luck with the weather this year so far, but this made up for a lot of the rough old trips). All trips should be like this but even in the rougher trips this winter I've never had a trip on Highflyer when I haven't enjoyed myself. I only went for the dabs because Chalky said he wanted some for his granddaughter. a poor excuse I know but it's the only one I can think of.

Lovely start to the day weather wise, unfortunately tide caught us little bit wrong so a bit of waiting around. Made the decision to wait inshore been caught out before, paid off with the lovely skate pictured , both falling to Mitch one 11Lb 1oz the other esimated between 4 and 5lb. Few doggie showed up for us first of the season, glad to see them! As tide weakened headed north out to a skate mark which produced nothing very strange never failed before. wind became a bit strong at this point so we decided to head back in to our original mark for shelter. Ended up with countless doggies , the two skate from same mark, couple of flatties thrown in. Thanks to Stu for organizing the lads, Terry, young Owen, Kev,Rob,Clive, with Lee ,first timer all way from Bedford,appreciate you travelling, also Mitch todays champion, and Collin and Ron, was a most enjoyable day with good banter as usual, hope this season proves a good one. Nice to see you all, All the best. Jon.

May bank holiday weekend was a mixed bag.
Saturdays forecast wasn't the greatest and considering it was predicted to blow 20mph, it was actually blowing 35mph. We still managed to find some fish, but the weather cut our day short.
Sunday was a better forecast and the offshore banks were the target. fishing wasn't fast and furious but steady and over the course of the day the species and numbers of fish racked up. schoolie bass, dabs, skate, codling, pouting and the ever present thames tiger shark (LSD).
Monday was a local trip and by far the best day for numbers of fish although the species list was down. Plenty of skate was the order of the day mainly good sized fish too in the 8 to 10 lb bracket, with the biggest of the day going 11.5lb. Most of the maids went back, but the boys were not so lucky. The crew went home with a good feed of fish View Boats Page

Report on-board Amino
Following yesterdays relatively good day, spirits were high as were expectations of the crew!!!
We headed out to the first mark to pick up the last of the flood and despite having a small Thornback first cast, did not produce much else other than Dogs so we moved to yesterdays spot for the ebb, in hope of similar fish to yesterday............and we weren't disappointed.
As per yesterday the first of the ebb produced a couple of Thornback, nice fish again of 9lb and 11lb. Mid tide we picked up one or two Cod of around the 5lb mark (as per yesterday) and another couple of Thornbacks and as the tide started to ease we were tempted to have a move but then Cliff landed a Thornback of 12lb+, we had another of 11lb to the rod of Simon Ward and another couple of Cod, one to Derk and one to Cliff, and the biggest of the day at a shade over 11lb (pictured).
Ended up with a total of 11 Thornback, 6 Cod, loadsa dogs....however, Cliff did lose ANOTHER Bass!!! sorry Cliff!lol
Cracking day, cheers chaps. View Boats Page

Artur and his group not only had a cracking day of weather, but also had some nice fish on their trip today.
Although the Dogfish are back in numbers (we must have had at least 50 today) we did manage to get through to some better fish, ending the day with 9 skate, two over 11lb and personal best fish for both Artur (pictured) and Thomas.
We also had some Cod landing 3 up to 7lb 12 oz, the biggest falling to Thomas and lost a couple of other fish, so hopefully we will find some more tomorrow ;-) View Boats Page
