    Set out on a lovely calm day with a wind forcast for later. Headed out for those first skate or bass armed with every bait know to man. Out to a bank only few miles out that has come up trumps for me for those early spring fish. Started off with whiting and dads, few nice doggies among them. Great to see our first smoothhounds of the season come aboard although only small. After slack the wind started to get up proving uncomfortable on the bank so we headed in off a local mark where Paul caught two nice codling pictured here.More whiting and dabs along with the doggies came aboard in all not a bad day for this time of year. Big thanks to the Stamford lads Keith,Ian,Adi this weeks winner! also Paul,and Ken, together with Ben from Northampton, Charlie and son Karl first time on the Flyer and regular customer Paul Layton , appreciate all you guys travelling so far hope you enjoyed your day. Jon.

    Lumpy sea today with wind against tide, knowing it was going to flatten headed north in search of those early bass and skate which once again made fools of us. Still forgetting its March but the chance is always there. Small whiting and flatties on the menu not in numbers at all even on the sandbanks the fishing was hard. Last cast of the day proved unbelievable when David James caught on worm a mackerel ! wouldnt of believed it unless i saw it with my own eyes, 3 months early, what the hell is going on? Big thanks for Mike (pictured) and Brian from Essex, David, Paul , Andy,Chalky, Collin, and Bob who was first time fishing,welcome to the club Bob! Sorry the fish wernt playing ball today lads and the big swells were a bit uncomfortable but in all a enjoyable day to be out. Many thanks lads, hope to see you soon. Jon.

    Headed out today with the big tides ,hoping for a early bass to make a showing. Tried our luck north on the banks but only small whiting to show for it. Moved back up the north Scroby but the tide was way to strong resulting in the shallower waters of the winterton shoals. The bass remained illusive only lots of small dabs were interested stripping our baits giving us a bit of sport over slack. Whiting making a show throughout the day nothing of any size unfortunately. Ended up attempting the wreck at the rear of the shoals, still no bass. Big thanks to the lads at Network Rail for the day, Richard for organizing the trip, along with Matthew,Andy,Cammo Sean,Andy,Chris,Mark,Steve,Mick and Brian.Hope to see you all again lads. Jon.

    First trip on High Flyer, really enjoyable, great skipper and first time had bacon rolls cooked for lunch and chocolate biscuits for desert not to mention tea and biscuits throughout the day. Just a shame about the weather but can’t blame him for that. Looking forward to next trip better weather, more fish and for cos another bacon roll. Cheers Jon tight lines.

    After a previous day of torrential rain was glad of the forcast of light westerlys, so headed north today to see if any early bass are making a show from a little favourite mark of mine which generally produces in the early start of the expected run. Unfortunately the weather beat us totally unexpected ,the wind swung north, then north easterly forcing us to retreat inshore and hide in the shelter of the roads. Picked up whiting most of the day, quite a few keepers, only one dab, small codling, and a very large weever! Big thanks to Derek for arranging the trip, Dennis,Chris,Dave,Ian,Dave,Brian with Jay and Josh our two young anglers pictured with a few whiting. Good to see youngsters aboard well done lads. Hope to see you all again. Jon.

    With the forcast not to bad and a week spent trying to find the illusive cod we decided to go back to our favourite best chance of yes you guessed Corton Roads. Fished the ebb down producing whiting straight away some nice keepers amongst them. Sea state lovely with a steady South ,South East, wind with tide until slack water, when increasing wind on the flood started to make things uncomfortable resulting in a move inshore . Ended up only a few codling very patchy this week and bagfull of nice whiting, big thanks to Martin for organizing the trip for his family,Nigel,Brendon,Mark,Johnny, Steve,Jamie,and dad David, also to regulars Harry and John, was a good day of banter hope you all enjoyed yourselves. Good luck to Steve with your tour,keep your head down, be safe. All the best men, hope to see you soon. Jon.

    Tried our luck today 6 miles out on one of the banks hoping for an early bass or skate as we keep seeing the pouches floating by. Unfortunately was not to be, plenty of fish on the finder just not the biting sort! Moved about into the rip tide which still didnt produce so decided to head inshore off the roadsto catch the ebb. Ended up with one keeper cod, few decent whiting and again no flatties! Whats going on? Big thanks to my local landlord David James for organizing the trip, along with Pete,(The Winner!) Gaz,Steve,Paul and Barry , also well done to you guys for staying out till 7.00 pm you cant say we didnt try hard ! Hope to see you all again .
    Jon.

    Had high hopes for today, plan was to fish up to the lunch time slack and head out to a six mile bank for the ebb tide, unfortunately scuppered by the strongish north westerly as the day went on. we tried north out of Yarmouth to a old favourite deep hole which only produced whiting few reasonable size keepers. Changed tatics due to the lack of cod up anchor and headed off to the Corton church to join the other 14 boats i counted! Ended up a very testing day, every fish hard earned, total was a miserable 8 codling, and about the same whiting,and a very large dab, nice to see as they have been very scarce lately, we have been expecting them in for quite a while. Many thanks to Keith,Ian, and Adi, appreciate you traveling to come join us, also Andy and Matty and Barry, hope to see you all soon , next time hopefully we will get out there! Jon.
