    What a start to the 1st December!

    With the Cod showing in plentiful numbers and the boats from Brighton Marina reporting some good catches of cod.Whiting etc

    Mick Pullens crew whilst fishing on Seabreeze3 on the 1st December caught some lovely cod with Warren Wood landing two of his personal best one of 23lb 8oz,and 22lb 8oz and Jane Pullen landed an 8lb cod along with a large amount of the dreaded whiting.

    On the Sunday 2nd December, Andy crew from London also caught some excellent cod, with Haydn Watkins landing his personal best of 25lb cod, caught on a bait of cuttlefish and squid on a panel rig. Soon followed by Steve Burgoyne landing a cod of 15lb on squid and cuttlefish also. Next it was Andy Wiles turn with a fine cod of 19lb. After a short break Andy then caught another one, not so big this time but a respectable size. Then it was Geordie Staines turn with a good size cod of 16lb.

    All I can say guys is sit there with a big bait of cuttlefish and squid and don't get impatient, that's all you need to do to catch them

    We still have some spaces left over the Christmas and New Year season, For Cod fishing visit www.Seabreeze3.co.uk Or give me a call on.(Tel/01273 585372) We are now taking bookings for 2013

  • 11/2012 Fishing Report by Ray Burn on Grey Viking (Brighton, East Sussex)

    Nov 2012 by Ray Burn

    Report on-board Grey Viking

    The Cod came inshore from the wrecks quite early this year and we've been catching consistently since the third week in October, with most of the action only 4 to 8 miles from the Marina. So the Winter Cod season is well under way!
    We've had a fair few mid doubles in the 14lb to 16lb class and the best so far was caught on by Mike Pile on the 11th November, a proper "mud pig" of 24lbs. So if you are seeking a personal best Cod now is the time!
    There are also some smaller Cod about in the 6lb to 8lb class which we've not seen this last couple of winters and that's a good sign for the future.
    Our normal winter tactics of fishing big cuttle baits on 8/0 pennel rigs has been working well but this year we've also found scaling down works better some days. This means using black lug tipped with a strip of cuttle on a 6/0 hook.
    In addition to Cod there are still a fair few decent Plaice and Bass around plus Whiting, Gurnard, Pout and the like. The other day we had a specimen Tub Gurnard of 4lb 2oz so you never know what might turn up!
    If you fancy a crack at a personal best give me a call on 07850 171722

    Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3

    The weather hasn't been quite so good over the last couple of days, although, we are still managing to catch some nice Cod and Whiting over the rough ground.

    There have also been some Plaice and big Dabs showing on the inshore sandbanks. It has been one of the best years for catching Plaice I have known off the Newhaven and Brighton area. Lets hope that next year continues to be as good or better...

    We still have some spaces left over the Christmas and New Year season, so if you fancy a day out Cod fishing visit www.oceanwarrior3.com. My website has also recently been updated so check it out to see the changes.

    We are also now taking bookings for 2013, the weekend dates are going very quickly so book early to avoid disappointment.

    Newhaven Fishing News

    We are still catching some nice Cod on the inshore ground marks off the sussex coast out of Newhaven. This week we have been catching the Cod on smaller baits with worm and squid. The big baits of cuttle haven’t seemed to have been working this week. There are also lots of Whiting around, they seem to have got much bigger this week and have them to over 2lb, which are a nice eating size. The weather has been a bit kinder to us this week, but still waiting for it to get colder to hopefully see the bigger Cod showing once the temperature drops.

    It won’t be long before we are back on the offshore wrecks of Sussex out of Newhaven to catch the bigger Cod and Pollack on the drift with lures.

    We still have some spaces left for this year and are taking bookings for 2013, so if you fancy a trip contact Dave on 07966 377145.

  • 04/11/2012 Fishing Report by Bob Marshall on Duke IV (Ramsgate, Kent)

    4 Nov 2012 by Bob Marshall

    Report on-board Duke IV

    Fine fishing to be had around Ramsgate with good numbers of Thornbacks moving into our area at the moment along with Cod, Whiting and Pout. We just need the weather to calm down to get out there. Bills group on a works outing yesterday had plenty of action with some quality Whiting to go with the Skate. Herring proved to be the bait of choice for the Skate with lug/squid cocktails for the Whiting. To catch the Cod requires large squid or cuttle baits to avoid the attention of the smaller fish, with the Whiting on the baits as soon as they hit bottom or rig one as livebait, always a chance of a large Bass or lunker Cod taking the bait.
    The Skate fishing will continue through the winter provided the netters don't hammer them and the Cod fishing should improve until the Sprats arrive in January lifting the Cod off the bottom making them even more difficult to catch.
    We will continue our Thursday individuals trips throughout the winter so call to book your place or book Duke IV, 6hrs for just £300 for up to 10 fishing.

    Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3

    Great catch for inshore Cod fishing - on light gear!!

    Andrew Barker wasn't expecting this good sized Conger of 66lb caught while inshore ground fishing!
    He had a bit of a fight and some luck on his hands to get it up as he was using 30lb line with a 15lb traceline and a size 2.0 hook! We weighed the eel, took the pictures and returned it to sea alive.

    It is our biggest Conger caught this year inshore fishing and an achievement using such light gear.

    We have still got spaces mid-week for full/part and individual bookings - you can take a look at the CBUK calendar or www.oceanwarrior3.com or give Dave a call on 07966 377145 for more info.
