    Report on-board High Flyer 2

    This report is to cover the weekend of 24th/25th January one i would rather forget to be honest! As we know we cant have great days every trip and thats fishing but few factors came into play last week affecting every boat i talked to as far down as essex . Unfortunately for us we have been plagued with vast shoals of sprats making our cod fishing rather difficult apart from them gorging themselves on the feast it also tends to make them rise midwater leaving our bottom baits alone resulting in the obvious , poor weekend for us and everyone else and me needing my haircut after pulling most of it out! We ended up on Saturday with few whiting and about dozen dabs and Sunday in the strong tide just pin whiting even after moving around five different spots it was just not going to happen. Hopefully change this week in the weather with strong northerley forcast midweek it should break the shoals up. Even though we had rough time of it the weather was sunny and calm and to see thousands of gulls feasting all along the bank and behind every vessel churning up the fish for them was truly a remarkable sight which i wont forget. Big thanks to both parties for a slow but still enjoyable day can only console ourselves by knowing they wont be here long and hope things get back to normal. All the best . Jon. High Flyer.PS< Didnt bother with any fish photos as we passed by the seals at Scroby here the little buggers are!
