Great day today weather wise decided to take advantage and head out in search for tope as requested. Started off with a bit of feathering the mackerel not thick bit patchy, the sandeels came in all the while. Few flatties and weavers to add. I caught small cod over a wreck nice stocking filler. After filling the tubs we decided to drift for bass wind spun the boat in a circle bit of a pain so anchored up just off the rough water in 60ft. First tope was the smallest 16lb , then a 19lb followed by a 20lb and finally picture here of Chris Merrison with todays biggest of 30lb, we boated four and lost three others pity really. Big thanks to Chris Morgan for organising the lads from Bedford,Chris, Melvin,John , also regulars Barry ,Gareth,and Chris and finally another Chris Kilpatrick with his first tope ever well done men. So after a confusing day with four Chris,s on the boat today was most enjoyable look forward to seeing you all soon. Cheers men, Jon (High Flyer)

Bringing us up to date had weak tides so divers on most of the week been out 30 miles still very poor for mackerel just caught whiting on the feathers! Viz is great so might throw a wrecking trip next weak tides if anyone interested? Picture this week is of the lads from Spalding organised by Carl Knights big thanks to him,everyone first time on the High Flyer nice to see new faces was reasonably hard fishing very blowy so inshore glad we got a few fish . Look forward to seeing you boys in winter hopefully much appreciated.
Tides building for this week out Thursday for bass i would imagine on these tides ,only couple places left hopefully jig for sandeel then bit of drifting could do with a tope to be honest so guess what i.ll be doing!
Facebook seems to be busy have two pages JON OLD-HIGH FLYER and also HIGH FLYER SEA FISHING TRIPS if you wish to join and a new local page NORFOLK BOAT ANGLERS please ask if you wish to join,brainchild of local legend Steve Gus whiting regular on the Flyer.
So small heatwave this week hopefully might get a mackerel or two about time , will keep you updated , must do few evening trips contact me if interested will put trips together,until then tight lines people.

Bringing us up to date looks like plenty smoothounds about crab best bait at moment. Having a bit of fun with them also few bass about if you want to fish for them, Getting a few mackerel if we can get out not thick at the moment but that will come,plenty of sandeels huge ones too! Cant shake the whiting inshore and off, nice to see few gurnards as well, Spotty dogs thinned out which is a blessing looking at flatty bashing soon as these tides drop off,this weekend could see few tope after these springs. Big thanks to the parties last week on Jeff Becks managed to get out and hit few mackerel and then inshore for smoothies, on Alan Becks strong winds kept us right inshore so harder fishing managed few smoothies mixed bag of whiting and not forgetting whelks! Right up to date pictured here was Wed 6th trip hit the smoothounds first bit of the tide then onto the bass bank for a few bass odd sandeel as well on the feathers ended up enjoyable day in the sun shame still on big tides but thought we done well. Full boat next week everyday unfortunately few places week after still ring might be able to fit you on another local vessel. Until then tight lines to you all, must arrange a few night trips as been asked all the while i do need a bit of sleep sometimes! Cheers Jon. (High Flyer)

Weekend of June 25th/26th 2016 weather was lovely flat calm seas and a bit of sun makes a change! Decided to look offshore for mackerel as bit of sun on the water and reasonably clear for the viz, so headed north unfortunately had to wait as we missed the tide so burned a bit of time inshore off Winterton catching few smoothies , had one small bass which was great. After few hours headed out to first bank produced on the feathers a herring, a scad and one mackerel followed by sandeeels so out further ended up on the 9 miler where we connected with a few, Crackin sandeels too big for bait! Picture today is of Danny with couple of smoothies first time on Flyer . Sunday was much of the same more mackerel today same sort of area, again brilliant sandeels, tide raced a bit offshore so headed in for bit of drifting, i lost good take on mackerel head snapped me up . Ended up inside to finish the day off with too many pesky whiting , few more smoothies and late again home as usual was most enjoyable weekend, big thanks to the lads Saturday all way from Liecester, also Dereham Angling on Sunday looking forward to the next one. Cheers. Jon (High Flyer)

Bringing us up to date weekend of 11th and 12th June 2016, lovely settled conditions really with weak tides was rather hoping for a bit of mackerel bashing but still none around at the moment. Saturday was a little bit disappointing with the wind turning easterly as it always put the fish off as we all know but managed to pluck a few out the bag. Only one skate of 6 and half pounds today to chris, few smoothies biggest just over 6lb to Dave, spotty dogs throughout the day with whiting and flatties thrown in. reports from the beach was dismal so i thought we done ok. As for Sunday 12th June 2016 tide fell right to visit a bass bank on the 6 miler started off with few doggies until Richard pulled out first one pictured here of 6lb to be followed by Alex first time on the Flyer with first ever bass of 4lb all returned healthy as the law requires till July 1st then 1 bass per day per angler. few nice smoothies thrown in today, usual spotty dogs and whiting but no flatties today! Also today lovely downpour sort of thing you need when fishing and a bit of drama with a rope fouling the prop! Managed to limp home unaided big thanks to RNLI who were on standby just in case appreciate the phone calls lads. in all not a bad weekend few nice fish, thanks to everyone , roll on the mackerel i say, until then tight lines people.
Cheers. Jon (High Flyer) -

Forcast of no wind today along with the strong tides seemed a good day for bass so headed out on the 5 miler bank to see what would occur. Decided to have a rest bite for couple of hours inside to burn the strongest of the tide out bit of a slow start few spotty dogs and whiting, moved again further down when few smootheys appeared . Eventually got to our mark, straight away the rods dipped me thinking bass reality another smoothound! Few nice few fish giving good fights in the strong tide , also a skate came aboard but unfortunately no bass. Was surrounded by couple of long liners which didnt help but there you go, pictured today was paul layton with best one of the day, ended up with the wind increasing out of nowhere ,wind against tide making it quite choppy so back inside for much of the same fish. was a enjoyable day big thanks to 3 newbies on the boat, steve from Southend, and Derek and Martin from London all good banter hopefully see you all again at some point. Also thanks to regulars Paul and Barry and Pete shame about the bass but the liners never had any either so obviously nott there today. Heres to next time.

We now started June looking forward to hopefully better weather after lasts week blow things seem to have stirred up plenty of weed plagued us this weekend but managed few good fish even though we were kept inshore. Best fish was 11lb cod by Pawel picture here doesnt do it justice but he is a huge fella so whos to argue! few skate inside making it interesting now the smootheys starting to show makes my life easier! Lost fantastic fish sunday, never saw it ten to fifteen minutes fight nearly to the surface then broke off your guess is as good as mine. Few small cod hanging around still one good thing the whiting have sort of thinned out so not so many unfortunately been replaced with spotty dogs but good bit of sport. No bass to report of as such as havent fished for them due to the ban, have lost two along side the boat estimated at 8lb and about 5lb in these strong tides this week.
Looking ahead everyone wants mackerel so tope fishing will begin unfortunately our first trip on 18th is full, get your name down with me to get first dibs at next trip or even our night trips which can start soon as people like really now smootheys are in, i think they feed better at night personally. Night trips as we call them are from 6pm till midnight so you can still go to work next day, same costs as regular trip
, we pick tides and days so slack water is around 9pm so you get the best fishing up or down. Get your name down on the list or add friend on facebook either jon old High Flyer or High Flyer Sea Fishing Trips or just text us and email.
So leave it with you glad summers nearly here looking forward to a suntan and mackerel on the barby until then tight lines everyone looking forward to seeing you all soon. Jon (High Flyer) -

Well its end of the month again hopefully the fishing improving in june should see some early mackerel bit offshore now , our first tope trip on 18th so looking forward to that. Been catching few skate as you can see, spotty dogs about pain at times but there fish! Only small smoothounds for us lately the biggies should start making an appearance shortly great sport. Our bass ban is still on this month so i havent bothered fishing for them as it seems just to cause trouble under no circumstances will we be bringing any back unfortunately some people think their above the law, it is there for our future good. Weather and winds have been stupid again just unbelievable hope they disappear soon getting ridiculous north east 30 mph doesnt give anyone a chance to get out.
My picture this report is to celebrate the life of Jeff Bishop who sadly passed away this month ex Yarmouth skipper known to many also worked the pilot boats, was a good friend to me who helped me out alot when i first came to Yarmouth for which i am very gratefull. He will be sorley missed , never forgot, and often remembered i,m sure, our condolences to all his family his funeral on 10th June at Gorleston Crematorian anyone wanting more details please ring. Tight lines up there jeff, your words of wisdom always ringing in my ears, Theres Anglers and Danglers and your not a Angler! Rest easy old friend come join one day.

This report brings us up to date to 1st May covering the weekend the weather was nice and sunny for once sea flat calm on Saturday didnt start till mid morning so lost first run of the tide unfortunately . Few flatties came in to start followed by some spotty dogs and a small smoothound nice to see this early plus the usual whiting! Decided to move as a weak tide further south to deeper patch of water which paid off nicely ended up with 9 thornbacks in total released back by the lads also lost a bass by the boat estimated around the 5 lb mark would have made nice photo shame. Was a good day all round picture here of Richard who organised the boys from Milton Keynes much appreciated looking forward to seeing you boys again hopefully.
Sunday started off well weather wise forcast of no wind decided to try our luck on the roker again, unfortunately the weather decided to rain here and there and the wind picked up from the south quite blustery wind against tide making it a early day! Caught only two skate , plenty of dogs and too many whiting again! Big thanks to Kumar and Ras from London appreciate you guys travelling down also Dave jones who was on the skate today and Chris for skippering home, enjoyed the day in all not a bad weekend.
Few places this weekend as had cancellation on Sunday 8th . Tight lines everyone. Jon. (High Flyer)
