Windy old day today but right direction from the west, only handfull of boats out, conditions only allowing inshore fishing once again! Pity really as been trying to get a bit of distance to see whats about but same old weather pattern seems just to be at weekends! Lads on today from up lincs, appreciate you coming fair way , least the day was comfortable and for once we seemed to be without the whiting. Not so many for us today thank god, the weed at times was a pain but always is this time of year. Alot of small codling were put back, the keepers here pictured average out between 2 and 3lb best one today was 3 and half only by chris pictured below. Not a single other species today, no pouting, no flatties at all just the codling which we have been very lucky and very grateful for they have stayed around even in this mild weather. Big thanks to all the boys for coming out bit cool at times in the wind, also for helping washing down, and it didnt rain for once! Hoping to go out one more night trip before xmas also looking forward to a calm slot to try on the banks and a very large hole i found around the 7 mile mark worth investigating i think. For all those who have come out on the High Flyer and had a day with us also all the regulars who come whether the fishing is good or bad i really would like to thank you for your support throughout the year, been a hard year at times like the mackerel this year but blessed with lots of skate but thats fishing. May you all have a great festive period ,some of us will be working! Look forward to 2015 for more tight lines. All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

Latest report covers weekend of 13th and 14th Dec, weather keeping us inshore again strong west and southwest. Sat quite a few boats out but had the sea to ourselves sunday joined by only one boat from Lowestoft. Quite a interesting weekend with medium tides the flood seemed to fish better for us didnt help when tide eased as boat all over the place both days but the lads coped. Sat proved more productive with fantastic whiting coming aboard caught mainly on fresh herring, nice few flatties at slack too, couple of pouting here and there and codling throughout the day but a nice little spurt after dark as we stayed to finish the tide for a hour or two extra. Picture here of the lads on 13th Sat with some of the keepers all roughly between the 2/3lb mark on average. Nothing better for us size wise and no skate today. Sunday proved much the same still no skate but few more flatties today good sizes as well, the whiting were constant pretty much all day but small annoying buggers today only the odd decent fish. Less codling today as keepers as smaller fish quite alot of codling thrown back today, well done lads no pictures as hasty gutting and filleting put pay to that! Big thanks to all the lads from this weekend will try get out weather depending to see if any bigger fish out on the banks could do with a break in the weather wind a pain as usual . Keep eye on our night trips as had better fish on them, also if you fancy getting out over xmas break will be making up trips so get in touch . All the best. Jon.( High Flyer)

Started off todays charter with high hopes of getting hold of few last remaining skate that have been hanging around inshore tide was right , bit lumpy but worth the ride i thought! Anchored up to proven spot armed with fresh herring but the whiting had other ideas. Few crackers came aboard from the off but no skate! Stayed there till slack couple of flatties came in too. Moved with the other dozen or so boats to the Roads slightly off in the deeper part still hoping for our skate but wasnt to be. The fishing was too slow with just whiting and small codling or two so headed in to my usual inside spot on the rough where we just about guarentee the codling will be there! Ended up with about 25 keepers i believe, some nice whiting in among them, Really enjoyed the day with great lads, Dave and Rodger,Stan,Nick Jamie,Ben, and Sean ,Simon,Chris and Ian, pity about the skate but think the codling made up for it. look forward to seeing you boys again soon, all the best.

Looked at the forcast few days previous conditions were near on perfect for a night session so decided to try inshore in the roads with a few regulars on High Flyer in the hope of possibly better fish at night. Armed with fresh lug, blacks, salted baits, the new imported squid and the kitchen sink we headed out straight to the rough ground in slightly deeper water to our day time activities my plan being the odd decent fish might be about. Unfortunately no double figure cod tonight but did notice better quality fish all round with our normal daytime tiddlers not so prevalent, most being in prime condition. Well done for throwing back fish men great to see conservation, keepers around the 20 mark in total roughly. Few pouting and pesky whiting most of the night ,none kept left to grow ,pleased to see only dampener was the hour long drizzle but apart from that the time flew and it was gone midnight as we moored up. Good night had by all ,i do think the fish feed better generally after dark and when theres no wind it is a absoloute pleasure in being out there you have to experience it to believe it. Big thanks to Paul pictured here with his keepers also Dan and Andy , Dave and Jamie, Chris and Len, was pleasure to be out. If you fancy a night session please get in touch either call, text or email, will add you to the list as we obviously have to work around the weather and pick the right tides so you get the best fishing, leave about 6pm return for midnight so you can go to work next morning!! Till then tight lines everyone. Jon. (High Flyer)

This report covers weekend of 22/23 Nov, much of the same at the moment still plagued with whiting most of the while few decent ones among them. On Saturday the start of new moon the codling were bit shy on the bite to start from normal, ended up with few keepers as most people putting the small fish back even though in size. well done lads. Pictured here is Panky first time on the Flyer with our only roker of the day returned as well nice to see some conservation going on. Few nice flatties came aboard few pouting and some small doggies. On Sunday mostly the same more codling to show, ended up on the four miler mark the unfortunate weather of constant rain ruined the day really big thanks to the lads for sticking it was not good! Have had a few frosts early this week hopefully winter might set in soon god knows we need the cold , only benefit is were still got chance of skate inshore so will probably target a few with our fresh herrings would ask you throw females back please men at this late stage plus commercial ban on now. Anyone interested in a party of herring fishing using drift nets please get in touch as few about now no sprats as yet , come and get dirty and use those arm muscles! Weekends before xmas getting fuller now but still dates left website should be up to date or please ring. Tight lines everyone. Jon. High Flyer.

Today was a trip organised by DXB water regulars on the High Flyer part of the furniture i would say, poor buggers! It was decided to remain inshore today weather wasnt brilliant forcast wise so stayed in the Roads, bit of a slow start compared to yesterday first fish being a pouting! Few whiting came along as expected wasnt really to the tide changed when we saw a few codling appear. Unfortunately for us the heavens opened rather hard at times along with a easterly wind which always kills the fishing! Thought the lads done well to stick the weather got a bit swelly side to side motion in a easterly, stayed until dark. We ended up as you can see pictured few codling keepers some dabs amongst them , well done to throwing back sizeable codling makes more to catch next time. Big thanks to Derek for organizing,brother Jeff, Keith and Richard for travelling all the way from Brentwood much appreciated, and James,Kev,Henry,Alex and Tony sorry about the weather lads lets hope for a better day all round next time. All the best. Jon. (High Flyer)

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. -
