Report on-board Galloper
as ever it has been a while since my last report on here (although I do weekly reports on my website and facebook page). As im sure you can see from other reports in this area the weather has been a pain for a while now. We have managed to get most trips out but not always to where we want to go. There have been so significant numbers of codling so far for us this season. We have seen one or two on occasions so they are present but not numerous. That doesn’t mean there aren’t fish to be caught though and there is certainly no shortage of whiting around along with numbers of dabs on the right tides. There are a few thorn-back rays here and there as well as the last of the dogfish if you are lucky enough to encounter one. As ever the blackwater estuary has saved a lot of days for us, even if we don’t fish the estuary its self we can often get out on a ‘maybe’ forecast safe in the knowledge we have the blackwater as a back up. There are times when fishing in there is better than further off and at the very least it seems to be wall to wall with whiting right now. I have plenty of room in the run up to Christmas and the new year for individuals and groups. so if you just want to get afloat then we should be able to keep the rod tips rattling and sit in relative comfort even on a breezy day. In the meantime thanks to all of our anglers for their support and please keep an eye on my website www.essexseafishing.co.uk

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Well its been extremely testing month or two plenty of whiting too many to be honest at times a pain. We shouldnt moan but we do, still getting the odd spotty dog and thornback thrown in. nothing has gone to plan like a normal season, this year has been a strange one with a abundance of rays this year but hardly any mackerel only a few tope as well, but millions of sandeels and big launce on the feathers. The wind has been relentless i cant remember when it was like a sheet of glass this summer only the odd day without wind. Its been the most trips since we have been chartering that i have had to cancel due to the weather bit testing to say the least. We are still waiting for our cod to arrive reports of plenty further north just the odd one or two for us at the moment hoping these strong easterlies might have dropped the water temperature for us . Despite all the doom and gloom we have been kept busy by the whiting of all sizes without them we would be worried but that could all change with the promise of a bad winter round the corner so we keep being told. Big thanks to everyone for there continued support of High flyer 2 i have stopped putting strings of whiting up as caused stupid comments on facebook stuff that i personally havent got time for and running a full time charter vessel to all the legal requirements from IFCA fish rules to codes of practice etc the effort put in to please everybody from the catering side to paperwork and advertising, phonecalls, boat maintenance, skipper refreshment courses the list goes on these pathetic individuals who know nothing of our local area try to do damage over the internet so i thought best to wait till few codling arrive for our next batch of photos. We are already taking bookings for 2019 please think ahead all those wanting to wreck fish on those precious weak tides , also those self employed take advantage of a corporate day to claim against your tax with full receipt provided, and our night trips will go ahead soon as we get a few more cod. New brochure will be out in the not to distant future , if anybody wants A4 flyer as advertised here please ask will send laminated copy out were very much appreciative of you helping us out. Well until then tight lines everyone . Jon (High Flyer 2)

Sunday 11th November 2018 very windy weekend lost yesterday but managed a day as wind turned south west giving us a bit of shelter inshore. No cod today for us water temperature has increased again by 2 degrees now standing at 10.5 degrees started catching spotty dogs straight away i knew we wouldnt get any cod, plenty of whiting all day the lads from Ipswich kept a few for the table, one small thornback returned only other species was a small pouting, in all a busy day with the whiting but nothing special. Big thanks to the lads for sticking the weather photo today of Andrej Syrbu team was enjoyable day despite the weather. Cheers Guys. Jon (High Flyer 2)

With conditions far from good again this weekend i cancelled both partys as a lot of dout as to what the weather patern was going to through up at us,but as from 12th Monday night the wind should be going round to the West again for a short time that will allow me to get out yet be it off Corton in the lee,so if you want the oppurtunity to catch a shed load of fish with may be a small Cod (these are the size that are around at the moment that Colin is holding) give me a call on 07771926590.
