Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)
6 Oct 2013 by Bob Marshall
Report on-board Duke IV
This mild weather must be confusing the fish as much as the birds. Still a few hounds about along with Skate and Whiting. The Cod have arrived with a few fish being caught inshore already.
The herring shoals are begining to show now so they will make a good bait for the Skate, the Whiting also like a strip of herring or mackerel. Still some large Bass around so worth persevering with a small livebait. Lug and squid cocktail will still be the bait for Cod or if getting too many dogs try a whole squid or two, make sure the hook point is showing to avoid missing the bites.
Good Skate fishing today for the crew with Amy landing the best one just under 9lb on mackerel bait while Lee landed 3 to 6lb on lug/squid cocktail. Mario from Bexhill landing a 5lb'er on Squid. Also some good whiting falling to fish baits.
Good prospects ahead for this winter with plenty of Skate to herring and hopefully some good Cod to squid. Just call me to come fishing aboard Duke IV and join in this fish fest!

Fishing Report by Dave Elliott
on Ocean Warrior 3 (Brighton, East Sussex)

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
Now that we are moving in to Autumn, the inshore Cod fishing has started well. We have had some nice Cod coming up already.
The biggest one this week so far went to Wladyslaw Sikorski with his 23lb Cod. This was his first time sea fishing and they all enjoyed their day out Cod fishing.
It has been nice to see some new faces aboard Ocean Warrior 3.
There have also been plenty of Whiting showing as well. The Cod fishing will only get better as the weather gets colder.
We have also still been getting some nice Brill and Turbot on the offshore marks when the weather has been calmer. All around the fishing has been really good this month.
If you are looking to book up a Cod fishing trip, call David on 07966 377145 or take a look at the calendar for available dates. View Boats Page

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
We have managed to keep on the Brill and Turbot lately, along with the odd Blonde Ray showing on the offshore marks.
The biggest Blonde Ray went to David Furness, which was 17lb, which was his first time aboard Ocean Warrior 3. The Blonde Ray was weighed, photographed and returned to sea alive. They also had some nice Brill and Turbot to take home.
On the inshore marks we have been catching a few Cod and Whiting as they are just starting to show over the rough ground. Looking forward to seeing some nice big Cod over the next few weeks on the baits.
It is now coming to the end of the season for the Brill and Turbot. So if you fancy taking advantage of fishing for these over the next couple of weeks, or alternatively, if you want to book up for the Cod and Whiting fishing give Dave a call on 07966 377145 or visit www.oceanwarrior3.com View Boats Page

on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
Autumn is definately here now, the Whiting are arriving in numbers, these fish are being followed by the large Bass as proved today by Hienric & crew over from Belgium on a fishing holiday aboard Duke IV.
Along with the Bass a good catch of Skate and Whiting kept the guys minds off the damp weather.
A run of Skate is the norm at this time of year, these fish are very welcome along with the winter Cod that should arrive inshore early next month.
Hienric landed todays Bass on a daisy chain of mackerel chunks with the fish taking a squid on the last hook. Shows its always worth trying something different, smiles all round when the Bass rolled into the net after a good scrap.
We have been landing the most superb Mackerel off Deal lately, these fish are feeding on sandeels, so prevelant at the moment. Great sport for the youngsters and the finest eating fish around.
The bait requirements for the day become easier in winter with Lug & squid for the Cod & Whiting and herring for the Skate. Cuttle can also prove useful for the better Cod, this bait is not the favourite food for the doggies so more likely to be there when the Cod turn up.
Still space available on Duke IV for groups or indivduals.
Tight lines all, Bob. View Boats Page

Autumn Turbot and Brill Fishing on Ocean Warrior 3
Newhaven's Ocean Warrior 3 is still on the Turbot and the Brill with some outstanding results. Tomasz Lukaszewicz who had been given a gift voucher and never been sea fishing before had some nice Turbot and Brill. His biggest Brill was 8lb which was a good catch for his first time out.
The weather has been reasonable of late as we come to the end of the summer. We will stay on the Turbot and Brill for a little bit longer then back on the first run of Cod, which will be starting to show soon. I am looking forward to the first run of Cod coming, which will be in the next couple weeks. We will back fishing at anchor with the big Cod baits back on.
Ocean Warrior 3 still has spaces during the week if you fancy a days angling. Call Dave on 07966 377145 or check out the website at www.oceanwarrior3.com to see some of the latest catches. View Boats Page

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
The weather has been quite nice of late and the fishing has been good. There have been some nice Conger, Cod and Black Bream coming up at anchor on the wrecks.
The Turbot and Brill fishing has been amazing this week. Really Wrecked SAC from Lewes had a cracking day out Turbot and Brill fishing. They caught their club record Turbot of 21lb 4oz, caught by Phil Brooks from Haywards Heath. He caught it on an offshore sandbank using a mackerel fillet. Total catch on the day was 42 Turbot and 12 Brill up to 7lb, they put 8 Turbot back to sea alive as they were on the small side. This is Phil Brooks with club record catch. There are more pictures on my latest news page on www.oceanwarrior3.com.

Fishing Report by Bob Marshall
on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

Report on-board Duke IV
The days are drawing in and the Whiting have arrived in numbers, many are small, making good feed for Bass and Cod while the larger ones make a fine meal for us, fried in a light batter.
A fresh run of Skate will arrive during autumn and stay with us throughout the winter, they can be caught on herring that will also start showing soon. The Hounds are moving offshore now and will take crab bait as they leave.
A recent visit to the wrecks proved tough with a northerly wind making fishing difficult although some nice Cod and Pollack were landed by Harry and Phil. With continuing good weather trips offshore can prove worthwhile with Cod stopping off on the wrecks as they come inshore for the winter.
Mackerel fishing remains excellent with some real beefy fish feasting on the sandeels, great for the bbq.
Looking forward, the fishing should remain busy with lots of Whiting along with Cod, Skate and Dabs and of course the ever present Doggies.
