    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    This week has been really testing as biggest surge since 1953 hit us on Thursday night , the High Flyer was inches from coming over the quay wall on the high water, debris everywhere was quite frightening and spectacular but also humbling to witness the raw power of the sea. We cancelled fridays trip, headed out Sat to still swelly conditions, the weed and marran grass was prolific all day making fishing extremely difficult. .Ended up hiding inshore Sat quite lucky with a few dabs and whiting for our efforts really hard day. Sunday weather slightly calmer armed with previous day knowledge headed right inside 500 yards off the beach to dodge the weed. Payed off with 3 cod landed, one scabby and returned, Dave pictured here with one of them. We lost 2 others at side of the boat tides pulling strong today. Few whiting came in not as many as usual so decided to flatty bash for the last 2 hours on my favourite mud patch. Plenty of the little blighters giving us a bit of sport to save the day. Thanks to all the lads over the weekend,thought we done well for the conditions.Looking to do a few evening trips if anyone interested please email or ring, starting to get colder now signs of these cod eventually turning up! Lets hope so. Tight lines everyone . Jon. (High Flyer)
