Report on-board Cleveland Princess
With very poor forecast for the boys from the RAF it was touch and go if we got away at all today with a strong s/easterly and the sea coming from the same direction there was only one place to fish off the Claremont pier in 23ft of water it was bearable while we were in the lee of the boat but when the tide started to flood it changed quickly but I said try and stick it out as when the tide makes a bit the fish will come over the top of the bank and feed in the gully that we were sitting in and they did we had 30 cod all around the 8-10inch mark and one nice fish of 3lb3oz a few Whiting and Dabs made up the bag all the small cod were put back alive they were all lipped hooked,it was nice to see so many juveniles it must have been a good spawn early last year for these fish lets hope we see more of them,bp.

First report of 2014 it covers two trips 10/11/ Jan Friday ran north off the church a few whiting for our efforts and not much else at the start of the flood we headed back to the Stanford Channel much the same,saturday ran off a bit with a big swell I didont know weather we would stop but we had a go for 2hrs a few Whiting and Dabs no Cod it got a bit more lumpy as the wind picked up so went inside to the Stanford again at the backend of the ebb we had a nice lot of Dabs and a few decent sized Whiting,we are hoping that the Cod will show very soon as the reports that we are getting looks promising they are not to far away so don't miss the chance of getting that all time POB and a £100 top prize,Brian

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

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
