Report on-board High Flyer 2
Keeping you all up to date having lost two weekends on the trot due to extremely high winds was glad to get out midweek nice light north west wind making conditions near perfect, only bug bear was reasonably strong tide but you cant have it all. We headed out north to a bank on the 5 mile mark on arriving was clear the tide was far too strong to fish in the depth we were in, couple of whiting and a flatty came in but decided to move anyway as tide wasnt going to slow down for a few more hours yet. Headed south virtually off lowestoft seafront didnt take long as tide was with us resulting in pesky whiting from the start of all sizes! Ended up when the tide turned with best fish of the day pictured here with Len Andrews a 6lb cod, also few others round the 3 to 4 lb mark and undersize returned. Had a visit from IFCA Fisheries Patrol Vessel nice to see the boys as they do a great job also explained our new bass quotas. In all was a great day sun shining few cod at last hoping this is the start of the spring codling run as we have had a hard time so far this winter! Thanks to all the lads especially those who traveled couple of hours its much appreciated just leaves us looking forward to next few weeks to see what happens, Few places left for this weekend at the moment. Until then tight lines everyone. Jon (High Flyer)

Well time i brought the month of January 2016 up to date unfortunately been a very testing time for us weather wise and fish wise too. We got plagued with millions of whiting just before christmas which seemed to put the cod off or they couldnt get to our baits either way we couldnt connect with many odd few here and there. Then tons of sprats poured into the roads where we fish inshore, seagulls dive bombing behind the boats wash thousands of sprats being churned up by every boats propps causes us a problem as the cod rise of seabed to feed while were on the bottom. Very testing to say the least! At this moment in time we have managed the odd codling ,plenty of whiting of all sizes and saving the day for us the flatties on the inside marks and bank providing some sport. The added headache is the mild weather not suitable for cod in my book i havent a clue whats ahead at the moment will we get a spring codling rush your guess is as good as mine. Very much hoping to time will tell wont be long till March now when usually weather breaks few spotties come about followed by the skate start of spring my favourite time of year lighter nights.
Would like to say a very big thank you to all my customers knowing how hard the fishings been here at the moment who still come regular and support me for putting up with the constant moving around to try all areas its very much appreciated and hopefully a end to our crazy weather which has sent the whole country upside down. Hopefully will have a great summer lots of new ideas to try this year, bass sport should improve with new restrictions, our new spurdog trips proving very popular with everyone keen to try, and as every our night trips increasing all the while.
I know its early but summer dates going already so any if your thinking of wrecking or tope/bass and require certain tides please get in touch to avoid disappointment, and also our colour BROCHURE still available just text or email your address will post one out to you. Until then tight lines hope to see you all soon.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Well today was one of them days when everything went wrong, alot of bad language involved, seagulls covering their ears, bit of light bucket kicking, good job my mum couldnt hear me but cause of the problem was mainly due to the fact of my phone going overboard with the loss of all my contacts, fishing customers, suppliers etc and those photos that cant be replaced. Bit concerned if any delinquent flounders decide to ring any 0898 numbers and rack up my bill will have to wait and see and for those who i can hear saying didnt you back them up like techcy nerds do , no i bloody didnt. So lesson learned new phone , same number, learning how to back up hopefully which brings me to the important bit.

Report on-board High Flyer 2
Bringing us up to date to the weekend of December 12/13th 2015, have put up with really blowy conditions last couple of weeks enough to test patience of a saint. Have managed a few trips inbetween keeping us inshore hugging the beach just to get fishing. Even though we have been plagued with whiting few good keepers among them with anglers kept busy all day, it is the cod people want to catch and unfortunately apart from the whiting knicking the baits the odd few cod about are not getting a look in. The main factor in all this is the temperature is so high for our seasonal average being so warm with our sea temperature round about 11 degrees still i fear too warm for our cold loving cod to appear in numbers yet. Today Sunday 13th was first opportunity with little wind to head out to deeper water fished in around 70- 90 ft off one of our banks which tails off to 130ft good cod mark in the past for us, today was good flatty mark! Apart from the whiting nothing else but few decent flatties no cod for us didnt hear any other boats with cod either. Tried a few other marks during the day and ended up for last hour right inside for more of the same. Wasnt a fantastic day fish wise but most enjoyable glad we tried off a bit hoping for our weather to become winter a bit! Big thanks to everyone Barry and his crew, two newbies on the Flyer from London Alex and Siergy, regular Dave Jones pressganged for a photo for today! Good lot of banter as usual, appreciate my xmas present still wearing them! Looking forward to next trip pray for cold weather everyone. Cheers . Jon (High Flyer)

Bringing us up to date to weekend of 28th/29th Nov, extremely windy conditions gusts of 54mph but fortunately for us the wind being west we could get out. Sat proved bit rainey at times reasonably testing no cod today plenty of whiting some lovely keepers among them, everyone hauling in at times they are a nuisance but least everyones busy! Couple of flatties as well but whiting non stop all day.Thanks to Paul and his team for the day was good to meet you boys finally, as for Sunday much the same, only one codling caught by yours truly enjoyed the ribbing i dished out to poor lads, everyone caught plenty whiting all day again. Picture today of Cambell with cracking whiting of 44cm around 2,5 pounds lovely to see shame not more of them. Big thanks to Cambell for organising the lads was an enjoyable day all round headed home as winds gusted 40mph plus at 4 o clock least we got the day in. Was the only boat out on Sat place to ourselves and today accompanied by 2 other Gt Yarmouth charter boats no one else came out ! Thanks to everyone from the weekend despite the wind, looking forward to when these cod come in properly hopefully soon, until then tight lines from the High Flyer. Jon.

This report covers the weekend of 14th/15th Nov 2016, a very windy day gusts of 54mph westerly today so hugged the shore both days as you can imagine. Lucky for us on west ,south west we can hide up under the cliffs so still able to get a day in . Only 3 boats out Sat no codling for any of us just whiting stealing all the baits, some spotty dogs of all sizes among them, few flatties over slack water and the odd pouting. Plenty of fish just the wrong sort. Sunday ended up much the same apart from the extremely windy conditions just 2 boats from Yarmouth were out today same old whiting all day, few better dogs as well, best fish of the day fell to Jeff Ball 6.3lb thornback ray pictured here ,nice to see probably about as the water temperature 13 degrees still! The other boat Seaquest had one cod only one today unfortunately need that cold weather to start coming in we are mid november for petes sake! Big thanks to everyone for the weekend especially Keith,Richard and Howard coming all the way from Brentwood, also Derek for organising everyone and Jeff for best fish of the day. Looking ahead to Tues 17th got few places left hopefully wind will drop give us a chance to get out a bit to have a look around further off until then tight lines everyone keep you all posted.

Bringing us up to date for weekend of 7/8th Nov, been bit of a mixed few weeks really still catching doggies water temperature 13 degrees still, then few codling up to 5lb . Have been plagued with whiting even though alot of keepers among them not really a fish you want to photo, so hence lack of pics lately! They have been stripping the baits catching two even three at a time but hopefully should be thinning out soon giving us half a chance. Last trip ended up on a bass Adam pictured here 48cm nice to see from a place bass seldom caught for us usually, also had 3 small thornbacks, 3 codling few flatties as normal and whiting all day. Very strong winds but managed to fish to mid afternoon both days before tide turned very lucky! Thanks to Dereham Angling club also to Pete our throttle man for his steady hand on way home! Looking ahead been asked for night trips will do just waiting for few more codling basically and weather turning colder if you want to be contacted and get on the list rather than see trips on website get your name down with me by email or text and you get prior notice, trips normally leave around 6pm till midnight same price nothing changes £45 add a £5 using my gear to cover losses. We will be trying the deeper water on upcoming trips when weather allows so if your booked on and we get a slot in the weather so be it, otherwise inshore but were extremely lucky for our constantly productive marks inside so lets look after them. Until next time tight lines everyone.
