Bringing us up to date we have seen a small influx of codling in recent week the downside now hit by 40mph plus easterly winds with everyone snowed in now! Hoping this cold snap will bring few more fish in on a normal year this month would be spring codling run follwed by the spotty dogs turning up mid to late March then April the start of skate when spring arrives. All we can do see what occurs the better times are just around the corner roll on the smoothounds! Website up to date for those wanting to plan any trips, this year we have been asked to do more tope specials so we will keep eye out for them mid june onwards rule of thumb. Lost out on night trips last year the wind just didnt play ball lets hope for a better season with the jet stream hopefully going the right way for once and all that cable work finished putting a spanner in the works i am looking forward to a better season. Hoping you can join us at some point. Next review soon as we get out until then tight lines everyone. Jon

Sat 3rd Feb 2018, big tides today fishing was hard! Had to stay inshore, lots of weed making baits covered. Bit testing to say the least but managed with the usual whiting and 4 codling only. The strange thing was 3 codling all 43cm exactly! Spooky. Picture of Richard (Left) and the two Chris,s first timers on codling. . Big thanks to everyone yesterday especially those driving couple hours its much appreciated you making the effort. Looking forward to the next one, Cheers Jon (High Flyer 2)

Coming to the end of the month now, our fishing has been all over the place with bass and skate being caught, totally out the ordinary for us this time of year plus the wind has been extremely fierce at times from every direction you can think of. Have lost quite a number of trips and most that we have done keeping us inshore most of the time. The whiting have been constant making the boat busy at times a god send in some respects but in others a pain grabbing the baits before anything else gets a chance. I must thank everyone who keeps coming out supporting us as it hasnt been brilliant but it seems to be nationwide problem, we have only another month or so and spring will be upon us with doggies and skate then smoothies life will be grand!!! Picture today is of Craig with sunday 28th best inshore codling of 4lb others smaller and returned along with the usual whiting , pouting and odd dab. Was a very windy day but lads done well good banter as usual. Many thanks to Dean for organising all the lads looking forward to next trip.
As we have new vessel working on the new brochure which should be out soon, also should you wish to be added to database for trip info such as places available etc or special trips by text or email please send your details over to be added,( not forwarded to other parties.) Be sure to think about your summer dates especially weekends as they are going, the website up to date and reliable.
Please note for 2018 we are asking you to use our Paypal deposit system of £20 per head( fully refundable on bad weather etc ) as certain people unfortunately let us down constantly , we lose out money wise and you lose a fishing spot you could have had it is getting to the point where local skippers are now trading letdowns names so those individuals will find it difficult to get a charter.Please be aware of that.

Bringing us to date Sunday Jan 14th 2018 it has been awful weather lately winds strong south east lumps the sea up for us here. Have been grabbing odd days w hen we can, most appreciative of people moving about changing days to get around the weather. For those whose trips we have canceled can only apologize but best to be safe we can go another time without any incidents. Back to the fishing, the whiting have thinned out a bit at last giving our baits a chance, unfortunately the sprats are about as well which tends to put the fish up in the water feeding on them but we have a cunning plan which seems to be paying off so getting a few codling a trip. Nothing big but as soon as weather allows we will be trying the deeper marks offshore hopefully one or two bigger fish should come aboard. Few flatties getting about now nobody seems to be keeping any which is great for conservation, also we have total bass ban this year already caught one last week (returned) but i dont expect it to affect our trip bookings as most of the bass go back anyway. We only kept 3 last year out of all the bass caught big well done to all those anglers it is our future stocks . I will still fish our bass marks as we get tope, mackerel, and sandeel there and the bass if they bite can be photographed and returned unharmed no worries. So not fantastic cod fishing at the moment but tickling along everyone knows the score it could be your trip that connects with a decent result , thats fishing. the website is up to date soon as i get home so should be reliable, dont forget bookings already going for weak tides wreck fishing in summer, get your date in if interested to save disappointment. Until then tight lines everyone. Jon (High Flyer 2)

Weekend of 18th/19th November 2017 bringing us up to date. Been so windy lately all our fishing has been inshore but with surprising results. Picture today is of Des Gunton (Norfolk) with our best cod to date this season of 7.5lbs , the cod havent really turned up yet just odd fish about but the water temperature is slowly dropping currently at 9 degrees so hoping for some cold weather soon. The whitting have been grabbing the baits soon as they hit the water pleased to have them about really but at times they are a pain! The odd skate still about inshore have noticed a serious decline in the spotty dogs which is very handy proves water temp is falling . One lucky angler Paul got a nice surprise of a 3lb lobster mouth hooked as well doesnt often happen good for him.
Soon as wind decreases we will get out to some deeper water to have a look about but not this week either with cancelled trip again tomorrow so bit testing. Looking like coming weekend inshore again but with few nice surprises that we been having least were getting fish keeping people happy. Big thanks to all for weekend despite the wind and cold appreciate you all coming out, until next time tight lines everyone.

Well its been a waiting game this past month everyones wanting a cod the reality of the situation is we have only had the odd one a trip probably in my opinion due to the unusually high water temperature at the moment but it is coming down last recorded sun 12th Nov at 10.5 degrees. The whitting have kept us extremely busy which we should be grateful for some nice keepers among them but honestly who wants pictures of strings of whitting? Been lucky with a few skate still hanging about also the spotty dogs which are now thinning out thank god and also the odd decent pouting making a show. Nice to see a bit of conservation as all skate and codling been returned. Picture today is of Brian cant mention his last name which is Hopper press ganged into having his picture taken as all we had was whitting to show so thanks mate! Lost quite a few trips due to the windy conditions last few weekends still got few places in December at weekends website up to date or midweek we will make a trip up if we can just ring or text will get things in place. Until then pray for cold weather and tight lines everyone. Cheers Jon (High Flyer 2)
