No wind at all today took advantage of the calm conditions headed out on the 5 to 6 mile mark in the deeper water, been wanting to get out as the wind has been relentless for weeks. Started off with whiting from the start, weak tide so ideal for uptiding in 104ft but nothing but more whiting! No cod or skate from the mark few small doggies and couple nice flatties. Gave up after tide changed no improvement headed slightly in to try mark on the 2 mile same old thing. Rather than lose the day decided to join the others all grouped in the Roads small codling from the off plus the dreaded whiting, ended up taking a few for the pot at least people were kept busy bit unfortunate that nothing decent to report from further out. Picture today of Dan Jackson with few keepers also thanks to other lads, Dave, Will, Matt,Shane,Josh,Jonny, Rodger and Matty was great weather conditions and we caught fish most of the the day appreciate you guys washing down as well. Look forward to seeing you soon. Jon. High Flyer.

Had a great day out on Saturday the 11th of October with with John on the High Flyer My first time out with the skipper with my Dad. My dad says Jon is one of the best skippers he has been out with and he has been out many times with different skippers from all over the UK . He was helpful and and provided a good flow of drinks chocolate biscuits and top cup a soups,The boat was clean, fast and plenty of space for everyone. We had a steady stream of fish all day. The company and banter was great all day it was a shame that Dave kept having to show Jon what cod looked like!!! A first class day and for sure we will be back again thanks a ton Jon and look forward to next time. If you get the chance book up with Jon you will not be disappointed.

Just bringing us up to date most of the charters have been fishing inshore. Main reason is the strong south west winds that just havent seemed to give us a break, Also too warm plenty of small codling about inshore lucky for us, most days producing between fifty and hundred codling of all sizes. I must compliment most of our anglers with conservation in mind for throwing back the codling as it can only help our stocks not much point in taking fish even if there legal size if no meal is involved.Also all the boys returning the female thornbacks well done great to see, as we have had a run of them still few left hoping to get out a bit if we get a reasonable day weather wise. The whiting are plentiful as always the better fish coming on our fresh herring baits also last week a run of very small spotty dogs not sure where they came from but always happy to catch them. Picture of the report is someone taking 5 mins cant name Trevor for legal reasons must be the codling wearing him out! Hoping for a cold spell soon we could really do with it not the odd frost but good few weeks as this should bring the better fish in ,will be doing some distance as and when we can. Our weekends always go first as you can see by the calender i do keep it up to date within the day so generally accurate most evenings should you want a trip. Planning on evening trips put your name forward by text or email will be working out the best dates as we work around slack water so obviously limited days. Well thats me done hope to see you at some point until then tight lines to you all. Jon. High Flyer.
PS. Fishing trip vouchers for xmas are in can be taken any time of year make great personal present. -

Great day today light winds plenty of sunshine pleasure to be out. Strong tides today last of them decided to keep inshore again no choice really but paid off with fish virtually all day long from the off. Most fish small codling keepers among them returned three quarters of them even though in size limits great to see conservation wish we all saw that around the country we would have far more sport. Whiting pain again not too many biggies today our fresh herring bringing in the better ones. Only one small skate today for Ian, few pouting as well over the rocky ground with few spotty dogs coming in and surprisingly few nice flounders reasonable size on rough ground! Pictured today is Chris and Dave press ganged late last night at nearly 8.00pm to take quick picture for report , no one wanted to go home! Ended up with over 60 plus codling easily lost count to be honest , was great day all round hoping some bigger fish start turning up as now herring making a show and it felt nippy on the fingers first thing so hopefully bit of cold turning up. Thanks to all the boys specially new comers Marty and Pat from Luton appreciate you making the journey, Lakenheath boys Dave,Dan and Andy, and regulars Dave,Chris and Ian really enjoyed it hope you all got told off for being late !
all the best. Jon. (High Flyer) -

Todays trip was with regulars from DXB Water Company with Derek Ball and friends. Weather was great and tides quite weak it was decided to try inshore on the spot we had a reasonable result from few days previous. Things paid off with codling coming in straight away aboard 24
in total, with 17 takers, all around 34 - 44cm, we also took 3 big whiting
35 -38 cm and had 5 good size dabs; not bad with just 4 anglers today . Picture today is Derek, with Keith with few of the keeper codling. Big thanks for helping out washing down, always a pleasure to see you guys, thanks also to Howard and Jeff, looking forward to seeing you in a few weeks where hopefully get out to deeper water to see if the biggies are following the herring that seems to have just showed up. All the best.

Forcast today of SW decided to head south of Lowestoft on the banks rather than Hemsby Hole as previous thoughts , wind against tide to start and a 2.8m tide raging through i was rather thinking fishing was going to be bit on the hard side! Had four first timers on the Flyer so no pressure, was on our mark within three quarters expecting to wait a while before the fish started feeding but straight away small codling onboard followed by few very tiny spotty dogs . The whiting were not quality fish like beginning of the week but todays were generally all small and returned to grow. Few more spotties through the day about a dozen, couple of flatties thrown in , no skate for us today or smoothounds which was strange. Ended up with 33 keeper codling average 2 to 3 pounds overall, returned quite a few smaller ones as well. Was a great start to the season for codling as we are in change over period water still warm really. Big thanks to Dave for catching too many, and all first timers on the Flyer Andy,Dan,Lawrie and Frank enjoyed the day men had a good result and thanks for washing down too! Todays results strengthen my belief we are going to have a good season this year hopefully bigger fish than previous years , looking forward to a bit of cold for once! All the best. Jon. High Flyer

Been a bit slack on the reports lately due to being out the water for winter refit now all done, plus last few trips not fantastic as in between summer/winter period so catching a few skate and doggies but also small winter codling and whiting making a show. Plenty of fish really bit on the small side but keeping the anglers busy better than nothing! Report covers weekend of 4/5th with Sat being very lumpy, strong southerly whipping the sea up, fishing wasnt too bad with Stephen pictured here with 3 nice skate, about dozen smoothies same for spotty dogs and whiting most of the day. Had to run for home early day at 2.30pm as sea turned bit nasty time to call it a day.
Totally different Sunday no wind, flat as your hat pleasure to be out, got let down by 6 anglers thanks lads its only my living, rest of us had cracking day weather wise no skate today unfortunately not sure why?. The whiting were on the bite all day practically, kept a few for the table , had about 20 smoothies all released back nice to see well done, about dozen spotty dogs as well all put back , big thanks to first timers Bob, Tia and Scott on High Flyer and regular Chris, many thanks for washing down. Good weekend in all thanks to everyone, looking forward to these codling coming in soon, need a few frosts! Please note as we are constantly getting let down we are now insisting on using our £20 per head deposit system to cure the problem, sorry to all those reliable ,dependable people out there. Cheers, Jon. High Flyer. -

After yesterdays blow wind turned southwest stll a bit of swell on as tide flooded so decided to head south again keeping us inshore without any choice. Joined another couple of boats today nice to see people out, straight away into a codling nice keeper for Keith. Followed by a spotty dog and a whiting all within ten minutes of arriving on full flood! Stayed right up to slack water wind was quite blustery at times , ended up with few spotty dogs , numerous whiting few keepers and couple of thrown back codling extremely dark almost black in colour! Moved out to deeper water as tide started to ebb, jeff pictured here with biggest fish of the day nice smoothy around the 6 pound mark, apart from few small whiting and more spottys was quite poor on the ebb very strange. Had a final move up the top end of the Holm but getting too lumpy started dragging anchor moved right inside to finish the day off. wasnt fantastic day but had few fish all round few for the table good day had by all. Thanks to Derek for organising , along with Keith, Mike ,Chris,Paul and Jeff, much appreciated for cleaning down too! Look forward to our trips next month hopefully do some distance next time. All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

Lumpy old day today, touch and go really to start, left at 9am to give ourselves a chance with these strong tides. Needed to find a bit of shelter wind against tide straight southerly on the nose so hid under the cliffs at Tramps Alley end to start. Started off ok surprised to find a few early whiting few keepers among them, some spotty dogs made a appearance along with a nice plump codling. As the day progreesed we headed out to the centre of the Roads in the deeper water caught few nice smoothies biggest around 5 to 6 lb mark, few more codling all returned well done lads for a bit of conservation. Even though within size limits nice to get a meal if you are going to keep them. Len pictured here with a surprised catch of a nice eel not that common as they used to be, ended up a real species day with flattie,whiting,eel,codling ,spotty dogs and smoothies! Nothing to shout about size wise today but kept us busy , was testing a bit with the rain but lads all done well and we got fish. Many thanks to Alan , Zak and Corey from Peterborough first time on the Flyer, along with regulars Dave,Len and Paul, was enjoyable day ,look forward to seeing you all again soon. All the best, Jon.
