Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
The weather has been much better lately and we have managed to get in some good fishing.
There are some big Pollack being caught along with some Cod, but mostly Pollack.
Kelly went out on her first time sea fishing and caught 3 Pollack around 13lb and 1 Cod at 8lb. We have been mainly drifting and the the sidewinder shads and red head lures seem to be producing some good catches.
One day when we weren't fishing, we were doing some drug running! - for the latest DVD of 'The fall of the Essex boys', that was also a great day. Check out the DVD as it has just been released, some good footage of the boat.

Report on-board Emma Louise
17/2/13 wind was due to get fresh come lunchtime from the south east which would be wind over tide !
So I decided to concentrate on the wreck within a 20 mile radius ,one because of the weather and my party also wanted to be back for the 4pm lock ,
We left at 7am , the first few wrecks were hard work with the wind setting us off our drift ,anyway we finally found a few pollock but only one cod but once again I found a few more wrecks with fish on them and my party went away happy . View Boats Page

Fishing report – Friday 8th February 2013
A group of hopeful anglers arrived at Brighton Marina at just gone 7am having had ample time to stop off at the ’golden arches’ for some breakfast, all keen for a day aboard Sea Breeze 3.
It was borderline as to whether we would get out wrecking for Pollack with winds gusting to 15 knots predicted from the offshore forecasts. Whilst I would like to think that I persuaded skipper Terry Lee to take a chance, deep down I knew that as always he would make the right decision having changed the type of fishing on a previous trip. That time, wrecking for cod became a day’s breaming at anchor where we experienced a fantastic day of non-stop action with up to 80 Bream of a good size coming over the side during the day.
But, back to the day in question, as we steamed some 18 miles offshore, talk turned to tackle as permanent deckhand Jay started preparing the rods. French booms with 10 ounce weights and 7 inch Sidewinders seemed to be the order of the day with a mixture of red, orange and rhubarb & custard lures on show.
A few of us had bought our own rods and tackle and similarly rigged up. As I looked across I saw good pal Phil’s rod and gazed up towards the tip. I looked up and up and up and eventually realised he’d brought his 12ft beachcaster by accident!!! This was an opportunity we all couldn’t miss and a chorus of ‘there’s only one Phil Nutkins’ echoed across the deck but little did we know it was the rest of us who would be left with egg on our faces as on the first drift Phil hooked into a 14lb 2oz Pollack which would prove to be the largest catch of the day.
Subsequent drifts found a double hook up and I landed a 13lb Pollack and first timer Sam Pope pulled in a 12lb 2oz Pollack. As the tide picked up, Skipper Terry expertly moved from wreck to wreck to keep us on the fish and more Pollack followed together with a few pout. As with all good trips, the time seemed to fly and before long it was time to aim towards the shore. As we sat back in the cabin and exchanged tales of the ones that got away, deckhand Jay expertly filleted the few fish we had kept for the table.
Another great day out with Terry and Jay aboard Sea Breeze 3 and talk is now moving towards the next trip – bream fishing followed by some livebaiting for bass. I can’t wait.

Well what can i say about Dave and Ocean Warrior 3, the superlatives seem endless. Have always had my large specimen PB's from this boat and some of them have been worthy of anyones fishing career. Dave seems to instictively know where to look out on the wide blue yonder and prides himself on trying to always finding the fish.If the fish aren't feeding, well thats just fishing I guess.Have been out on this boat over a 12 year period and keep coming back for more.I rate dave as a very professional skiper with a very slick 'no nonsense' operation ..'theres fish out there , lets go get them attitude'. Always helpful when you need fishing and boating advice. He caters for both the beginner and 'obsessive' fisherfolk. You tell him what species you want to catch and he'll always give it a go (wind an weather permitting).The boat is a fast and ultra safe one, all safety equipment and professional coded requirements are aboard. He hires out quality tackle for people who dont have their own and want a taster. I can safely say you are in good hands with the boat ,advice and tackle requirements.Please listen to what he says, he knows what he's doing and has been charter shippering for years, with much experience learned the hard way. I would recommend this boat and this skipper to anyone...a thoroughly hard working team.
Nay all your fish be exceptionally large ones. Enjoy. Nick View Boats Page

Report on-board Ocean Warrior 3
Had a great trip out with Dave on Friday 8th Feb, left the marina at Newhaven at 07.30, cold but calm and sunny, great expectations amonst the crew(9 in total) for some good cod and pollock. Headed east to about 5 miles off Beachy Head then due south for about 20/25 miles, by the time we got to our first drift the wind has risen considerably and the sea was quite lively, but instant success with a nice pollock of around 8lb, this was followed by a nice cod on the next drift of about 10lb. Others were catching pollock also, best lure and the one I always find succesfull is 6inch bloodhead sidewinder sandeel. One of the crew landed a really good 20lb plus cod. All in all a good day, most of the crew landed a few fish, nearly all pollock. I ended up with 5 pollock and 1 cod. Thanks again Dave great boat and great skippering.

The weather has been a little better and we have managed to get out to the deep wrecks for some Cod.
There have been some nice big doubles showing and also some nice sized Pollack.
We are hoping for some settled weather to get back to the deep water wrecks, so if you fancy a day out Cod fishing - the next few weeks should be good so give Dave a call. View Boats Page

Report on-board Panther
The spring run of cod has started early this year and we are getting some nice fish to about 6lb. I am looking forward to some good pollock and turbot fishing soon, weather permitting and I am also planning some 2 day trips from June onwards to try for some 20lb+ turbot and cod. We are also going to target bass and conger. Please call for further details (07970899823).

2013 so far has started off a bit slowly as January provided us with lots of wind, which has meant it has been a bit quiet on the fishing side.
However, when the wind drops there are some big fish to be caught. This is Dennis from Burgess Hill, Sussex with a Pollack of 18lb, caught while fishing a wreck. There are also some big Cod starting to show on the deep water wrecks now.
So don't miss out, book in and try and catch your personal best fish on Ocean Warrior 3 Newhaven. View Boats Page

The weather has not been great lately but we have managed to get some fishing in. When we have got out, there have been some nice double figured Pollack around on the offshore wrecks. There have also been a few Cod starting to show, which is great to see. The bigger Cod should be starting to show more as we progress into February and through to the beginning of March.
This is Simon from Essex with his good sized double figured Pollack, caught while 'gilling' over a wreck using a sidewinder lure.
Here is hoping for some fair fishing weather to get some good catches. If you fancy a day out wreck fishing give Dave a call on 07966 377145. View Boats Page
