Tough day today strong N/Westerlys on the ebb made life uncomfortable, good start with numerous whiting ,few decent keepers among them. Quite a few boats out in the roads today reports vary in such close quarters seems to be luck of the draw with some doing better than others. Poor day for us with 6 cod and about the same whiting , unfortunate for us with three of our guests spending the day in the wheelhouse with sea sickness, thanks to Kev for organizing the trip along with Simon,Dave,Peter,Rodger,Tom,Mike,and Dean, hope you felt better after getting on dry land. Stick with it men it goes away. Many thanks lads, sorry about the rain and hail and nasty wind! Roll on the summer! Jon.

Todays charter still on our ground in the Roads ,wind picked up earlier than forcast throwing in some rain at times rather heavy. Well spirits were still high we fished right through till 5pm was very hard going compared to the previous day as far as fish were concerned. We finished up with 13 well earned cod, few large whiting,still no flatties. Thanks to jeff,David, Chris, Barry,and father and son Brian and Jay ,especially 12 year old Jay who eventually got his first cod on his last cast of the day ,plus first time on the boat really pleased for him. Well done. See you all soon lads . Jon.

Nice break in the weather for once, joined a fleet out there today off sunny Corton.Cant fault the place has turned up trumps for us all this year. Ended up at the end of the day with 41 codling averaging out at 3-5 pounds, lovely condition, nice to see half a dozen or so large whiting as keepers, along with their smaller relatives as nuisance throwbacks. Not one flattie where the hell are they? Big thank you to my party today, which consisted of Will,Ashley,Roland,Paul, and Dave for organizing them,also to John and Aaron and Stuart all first timers onboard High Flyer, and lastly to Paul on his 2nd trip with us all having a reasonable day fish wise. Hope you all enjoyed yourselves men ,thank you for coming out,look forward to seeing you again.

What a cracking break in the weather today, light winds, sun came out perfect conditions, headed south to good old Corton again bit further up this time. After chasing our tail all last week offshore with dissapointing cod catches the deep water proving very difficult, our inshore tactics paid off. The whiting were not as prolific as they have been better in size though and no flatties at all today very strange! We ended up with 30 codling biggest around four to five pound mark , in perfect prime condition , everybody on the boat caught, thanks to Chalky for helping out the less experienced anglers for the uptiding tuition, Mike first time on High Flyer, along with Andy hope to see you guys again,Matty the only man i know to catch a frozen herring, and Marty and Arek who drive hour and half to be with us its much appreciated. In all we had a brilliant day ,enjoyed the company,glad we had a result ,well done men and thank you. Jon.

Very foggy start today had to wait for clearance out. Headed out to Corton as our trip north over the weekend proved very dissapointing with the cod being bite shy. Fished the flood down to the slack with plenty of whiting few keepers nice to see. No cod till tide turned on the ebb ended up with 8 to 10 fish and more whiting had a half day leaving behind a flat calm sea totally different to the weekend! Thanks to Richard,Len,Barry and Peter for a most enjoyable day. Jon

Sat 4 th Feb. headed out to sanbank off South Cross Sand with slot in the morning weather , the finder was constantly full of baitfish on the surface, sprats and herring i suppose. The cod were not playing ball at all only flatties and whiting we tried every bait under the sun still no cod! Headed in due to wind picking up,after speaking to other charter boats off Corton not doing great we headed off to mark off Britania Pier ended up with our old friend the whiting. No codling at all North of Yarmouth on that day it wasnt to be. Thanks to John,Andy,Simon,Ben,Marty, Arek,Paul and Harry for putting up with the biting cold,lack of cod,and rough trip back, one of those days i would like to forget but we tried our best and i suppose thats fishing! Thanks again men . Jon.

Big thanks to the lads today who braved a constant north westerly 30 plus mile an hour all day! Boat spent most of its time at anchor sideways! Had to hide under Corton Cliffs again along with the other charters. Cauight few decent size whiting most of the shoals thinning out now. Codling to four pounds today not in the numbers today unlike the start of the week but i suppose thats fishing. Thanks to Matty for his first boat trip and being his 22nd birthday too! Also Steve seasoned angler with catch of a poor cod which unfortunately we didnt photo could have added another species to our list! Well done to Jeff and Andy for sticking the day out lets pray for a break in the weather. Cheers lads see you all soon. Jon.

Very windy trip today,killed our plans totally even though offshore ,big thanks to the lads for sticking with it .
Delighted to have young angler Luke with us and dad Andy, always a pleasure to educate youngsters ,think he enjoyed himself looking at the photos!. Big thanks to Paul for organizing the trip,along with Harry,Ian, barry,and John. Loads of fish on the finder especially midwater more than likely sprats and herring,lots of bait about, still believe we need a cold spell for a good run of cod. Fish on the day was codling to about 3lb and those pesky whitting ,not in abundance like they have been, very surprised no flatties though. Thanks again lads much appreciated hope the weathers kind to us next time. -

Another day hit by the strong winds fishing inshore ,big tide to contend with ,ended up south Corton, thanks to Julian and Lincoln Barnwell of Barnwell Print Aylsham Norfolk and friends Rob ,Andy and Simon for coming aboard High Flyer. Unfortunately the fish were limited today few keepers,constant fish on the screen probably sprats and herring in there millions hard to compete with. Happy birthday to Julian 165 today i believe! looks well on it put down to mainly strict diet of Nitrox and low alchol intake! Much appreciated men enjoyable day look forward to another date when weather is on our side.
