    Windy old North easterly again,getting fed up of the weather,this is mid June you know! Tried hiding up the Spoils for a bit of protection first fish small pup smoothies, as tide eased made our way North to skate ground.Ended up with 3 crackers pictured here , the fish not the ugly anglers! Plenty of dogs about keeping us busy too. Moved after the ebb got bit uncomfortable back South ending up with more dogs, one lovely size smoothound for Brian worth a photo, small smoothy pups again and few dabs. Thanks to local lads Mitch, Collin and Ron, Brian and son Jay, Steve Clarke and John Halliwell, was a most enjoyable day despite the wind, plenty of stick all round, never mind Collin the lads told me the skate tasted great you can always buy some at tescos if you cant catch your own!!!! All the best men. Jon. (High Flyer)

    Very windy again today fron the north east, suppossed to be mid june ,weather more like october. Headed north to a small hole on the inside which generally pays off. John pictured here picked up our only skate of the day ,nice fish of 9lb, the others getting few reasonable size smoothounds which are starting to make a show along with the spotties who today seemed a bit shy for some reason. Moved south into the Roads for a bit of shelter,more dogs and picked up about dozen nice dabs in total to finish the day off. Big thanks to all the lads who came from Northampton appreciate you making the journey and especially to Mick for organizing the trip. Also John first time on the Flyer and Dave Smith too. Many thanks men, hoping for better weather next time, enjoyed the day though lots of good banter as usual! All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

    Started in the Roads to hide up only to be greeted by commercial longliner and various other craft so headed north to a little hole i use . Paid off with over 50 mixed dogs and smoothies, coming aboard , no flatties today or skate really did expect them on the weak tides today. Big thanks to Andy for sorting out the trip, much appreciated, picture of Paul Alford ,todays top angler with some of his catch.

    Another great trip out with Jon on Sat 1st June. There was to much wind for the wrecks but stayed inshore, still had a great day over 50 doggies caught. The coffee and tea flowing all day with biscuits and choc bars as usual. If you have never been on High Flyer i can highly recommend it , Jon is very helpful and will always try and put you on the fish. Thanks again for a great day.

    Today was spent with the special forces pictured here see if you can recognize any of them. All fish were returned today, well done men ,nice to have a bit of conservation now and then. We ended up with having a half day down to the weather not playing ball, bit on the windy side but managed to catch about 25 spotty dogs of all sizes and one skate. Big thanks to the lads, thank you for teaching me unarmed combat skills and how to strip a SA80 in ten seconds might come in handy one day if i get attacked by Somali Pirates off Gt Yarmouth!
    Pleasure to have you aboard was a enjoyable day and good luck for the future for one particular man. Mums the word! All the best. Jon. ( High Flyer)

    What a great day out, lots of fish, lots of laughs, even the weather was on our side for a change (we haven't had a lot of luck with the weather this year so far, but this made up for a lot of the rough old trips). All trips should be like this but even in the rougher trips this winter I've never had a trip on Highflyer when I haven't enjoyed myself. I only went for the dabs because Chalky said he wanted some for his granddaughter. a poor excuse I know but it's the only one I can think of.

    Lovely start to the day weather wise, unfortunately tide caught us little bit wrong so a bit of waiting around. Made the decision to wait inshore been caught out before, paid off with the lovely skate pictured , both falling to Mitch one 11Lb 1oz the other esimated between 4 and 5lb. Few doggie showed up for us first of the season, glad to see them! As tide weakened headed north out to a skate mark which produced nothing very strange never failed before. wind became a bit strong at this point so we decided to head back in to our original mark for shelter. Ended up with countless doggies , the two skate from same mark, couple of flatties thrown in. Thanks to Stu for organizing the lads, Terry, young Owen, Kev,Rob,Clive, with Lee ,first timer all way from Bedford,appreciate you travelling, also Mitch todays champion, and Collin and Ron, was a most enjoyable day with good banter as usual, hope this season proves a good one. Nice to see you all, All the best. Jon.

    Thought it best to add a report as we have not bothered lately. This is down to most trips being cancelled, the weather has been in the east for nearly three weeks now becoming a joke . Completely fed up with the lovely british weather look at the picture! Our trips between the storms have been mostly whiting, very few codling, so much baitfish in the water the cod have been mid water chasing the shoals and not on the bottom. Have had tremendous herring hauls within ten minutes three or four boxes no wonder we cant get to the fish with so much feed available. Good news is the fish are thinning out, after easter the tides slacken so going out wind dependable, to the 14 mile marks for early skate hope to also see the dogs making a return . Clocks change and add an hour to your tide time tables dont forget BST is 31st march. So hopefully a change in the weather soon, looking forward to the best time of year, clear water, hot sun and plenty of bites weve been through the worst now, bring on the makerel and sandeels, big bass and those fantastic tope. Hope you can join us at some point ,look forward to seeing you all for some rod bending sessions soon.
    All the best,
    Jon. (High Flyer)
