Still having problems with the good old british weather decided to go today as much calmer start today with the knowledge that later on was going to be touch and go. Forcast was 50 to 60 mph in the chanel so wasnt going to be the best of days. Needed the shelter of the cliffs again so back to same old ground, slightly stronger tide today so better for our inshore codling. The elements were certainly against us bloody rain was like stair rods at times didnt let up for hours bit testing really. In the end rain cleared for a while few fish came aboard one or two nice keepers ended up with 22 in total , few on the limit thrown back well done boys for the conservation . Some pin whiting appeared as usual as water slackened off, once again the dreaded weed came on but today only lasted about a hour or so thank god. Ws a good day all round picture here of Barrys team regulars on High Flyer and also Panky and Eddy from Cambridge many thanks guys for bit of a testing day. As the wind was now gusting over 40mph we headed in just as the lightening pinked up the sky and the heavens opened perfect timing to end the day all home safe and sound. Cheers lads see you all soon,

Todays trip was touch and go due to forcast being all over the place , warned the boys about a bit lumpy getting out the harbour and to our destination but would be ok and fishable when we hid up under the cliffs. The wind was strong south west but on the ebb really comfortable where we were the only place we could be really so not alot of choice today. We started off within minutes a nice cod for Andy pictured here estimated between four and five pound picture doesnt do it justice to be honest being first time on the boat was very pleased for him. Few whiting came aboard here and there along with other codling. only 8 keepers today was bit slow and the weed proved a serious pain today well done to the lads for putting up with it , was really quite stressfull! Big thanks to Bills party regulars on the High Flyer, sorry about a slowish day today guys i know thats fishing but lets hope next time few skate in the bag or some nice bass will do. All the best.

Our new brochure is out this week to recieve your FREE copy you can email direct to eastangliancharters@gmail.com or text to my contact mobile 07920043979 your name , address and postcode and we will sort it out for you, if you require more for guesthouses, pubs etc please let us know will be very grateful, we do appreciate everyone that stocks our leaflets it all helps and makes the wheels turn.
Hopefully towards end of March we will see the start of a new season with the skate showing up, the dreaded doggies too but first the spring codling still about few good days still to be had for those interested would recomend a trip to those wary of their sea legs as right inshore and fishing within 15 mins makes a easy day.Still getting decent whiting for the time of year with the flatties getting more in numbers as we get more into spring. Worm baits still the best at the moment few early peelers in our pots so water definately warming up.
Looking to do more tope trips this year for those interested so popular last year even though we struggled with the mackerel we done ok, great for sport and conservation as they all go back , keep eye out on website for listings or email to be put on database for alerts as to what trips are going, to jump the que before the website.
Our evening trips from 6pm till midnight midweek (normally) limited as we work around slack water around 9pm will be kicking off soon as skate arrive , generally flat calm conditions as wind drops at night and i think fish feed better. Home by 12pm so you can go to work next day knackered but who cares!
Looking forward to 2015 hoping to see few faces from past again, our regulars who support us throughout the year very much appreciated, any queries please ask, until then,

Firstly must apoligise for lack of reports mainly down to the amount of cancelled trips due to this lovely english weather plus our millions of sprats making fishing impossible when we have got out . Change in the weather this weekend lost yesterday being Saturday 14th Valentines day as Gale Force 8 Fri was way too lumpy but managed a day with light easterly with surprising result. The old saying wind in east fish bite least was in my mind as we headed out so decided with weak tides to try in 100 ft of water a mark which is one of our banks on about the 4 mile from harbour. We had a our first fish of the day about a 4 lb cod few missed bites but in typical east wind quite a bit of rocking going on not too good for certain stomachs! Decided to be nice and headed closer in after a while just off Lowestoft front caught few more codling there nice fish around 3/4lb mark in prime condition. At slack headed back north to the mud ground hoping for some flatties to break the boredam till tide flooded but not a single one! Only one whiting today very strange. Ended up with over 20 plus cod picture here with keepers , big thanks to Bill for organising the trip again,thanks for washing down as well lads much appreciated. Looks like the big sprat shoals have nearly gone so hopefully get back to some normality, looking to get few decent fish soon as they must be there only time will tell.Will be trying the offshore banks weather and tide allowing , also our new brochure is out and printed should you wish a copy please email name and address or text will get one of to you. Until then tight lines everyone. Jon (High Flyer)

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!

Well today was the hardest day i,ve had for months on the High Flyer, i spent half the night down on the Quay watching the rising tide as a huge surge was reported making its way down the coast over a meter higher than predicted, high water was 11pm last night . The boats all along the quay getting higher , anxious fisherman watching ,tying extra buffs on, lengthening mooring lines was all go. After midnight water got to about 2ft from coming over the wall not like last years when we all got flooded reminders of 1953! The downside for us on Sundays fishing was extremley hard tons of weed, plastic bags and various toiletry items on the lines 5 mins after casting was a nightmare! Moved right close inshore to escape helped but still not great. Ended up with only about 4 codling and few small whiting nothing else, much the same for the other boats even lads down the coast further south phoning up complaining of same problems. Would like to thank first timers on the boat Barry and his group sorry to have come on such a day being first time as well, plus the strong westerly, have known better days! Also john for doing a report of the day much appreciated. We didnt bother with any pictures today so thought i would leave you with a picture emailed to me some time ago, i wonder what breaking strain line was used, see what you reckon!! Till next time, tight lines everyone. Jon,

went out on the high flyer sunday 11/01/2015 day before there was a massive surge on the yare so we got out there and it was hard going only a few codling and whiting showed only one keeper for the day for me we all put it down to the adverse weather wind really rising and the ensueing surge on the yare had obviously put the fish of the feed for the day good set of lads for the day the usual good banter for what turned out to be a bad day for the flyer very unusual for jon better luck next time mate it cant all be plain sailing everyday

With the forcast all over the place having spoke to other skippers few cancelled had a word with the boys and we decided to go for it, being safe staying inshore again! Turned out apart from the rain which was a bit dreary at times the wind never appeared and flat calm conditions throughout the day! Cant think why these forcasts are so wrong with our modern technology? Plenty of fresh lugworm today all round and some slightly smelly ones from last trip, new variety of squid plus fresh blacks headed nearly off Lowestoft further south to our usual haunts. Only 2 boats out today angling that joined us, bit of a slow start with few whiting making a show then just the odd codling as we were not far off slack. As the tide changed fish started coming in most of the day really quite a few put back today well done lads great for conservation. No flatties today nor pouting only codling and whiting, picture here of the keepers around 3 oclock as wanted a picture before dark until new camera arrives! Stayed till about 5.30pm after having moved back up to the mud with few more coming in. Was a great day all round, thanks to everyone pitching in and washing down,Brilliant much appreciated, thanks to Steve and Trevor first time on the Flyer,also Terry, regulars Steve and Matt and dave really enjoyed it men was good day all round and nice start to 2015. Looking to do night trip soon as weather possibly giving us high pressure keep eye out on website calender for places. ( Jon. High Flyer)

New years eve headed out to the Roads again not much point going anywhere else today bit of a sw wind forcast later on in the day so keeping things comfortable stayed inshore. The whiting were very few on the ground today not too many good ones either rather strange and no flatties and just the one pouting today so we were grateful for the codling. Nothing bigger than 4lb really which despite knocking it is a great size eating fish, armed today with fresh blacks specially ordered for us by Gorleston Tackle over the festive season,(well done Jason) and fresh lug together with few old peelers i found started off further south than i normally go, with few reasonable fish from the start. Caught the end of the ebb with about a dozen codling to show for it before slack. After slack we had a slow start with odd few coming in, bit too slow on the flood for my liking so decided to head up to a mud mark i like which seemed to pay off thank god! Total keepers was 47 at the last count cant remember what we threw back but reasonably good day all round wind was picking up so back in about 5.30pm. Apoligies for picture quality think the frosts killed poor camera, ordered a new one so expect picture improvements! Big thank you to all the lads especially those who helped to wash down and get rid of all that weed very much appreciated. Just leaves me to say Happy New Year to you all my customers and fellow anglers thank you for supporting me and the High Flyer throughout the year, looking forward to being of service in 2015. tight lines to you all. Jon. High Flyer.
