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!

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.View Boats Page

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.View Boats Page

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.View Boats Page

Report on-board Emma Louise
Went out today to chase a few cod, knowing full well that we would only have a maximum of 3 hours on a cod mark, due to the strength of the tide today. Wasn't long before we found a bit of action, with half a dozen cod up to 10 lb. Not as big as last weeks fish, but not too bad under the circumstances. As predicted, the mark was left in our wake as we moved to new grounds in search of some plaice. We spent the rest of the ebb and part of the flood drifting, which bagged us in excess of 40 plaice and a few dabs.
All in all, an enjoyable day!

Malcolm Wright from Essex had these 2 great Cod, one at 13lb 9oz and the other at 14lb 9oz, while fishing rough ground off the coast of Newhaven.
We have also been catching some decent sized Whiting.
The Cod fishing should get better throughout November and December as the weather gets colder, although October has started well with some nice double figured Cod coming up.
We have some mid week spaces coming up so if you fancy a day Cod fishing - give Dave a call on 07966 377145 or visit www.oceanwarrior3.com for more information.View Boats Page

We are still getting some nice Cod inshore. The biggest one caught so far this week was by Stuart Cross at 16lb 6oz, using his secret pink squid bait. It was caught on 30lb class gear.
We have also seen some decent sized Whiting showing and there are also a few Conger still around.
We are looking forward to a good few months of Winter Cod fishing - if you fancy a trip at around £50 per person call Dave on 07966 377145.View Boats Page

Report on-board Sea Leopard
SEA LEOPARD for the last couple of weeks has been fishing for turbot and brill quite out of the norm you might think so did we until we tried it and we had what i can only say as great ,great ,great success quite a shock as we dont normally target them only picking them up by chance when anchored . Over these 2 weeks we have caught 126 turbot and 16 brill quite amazing as we only had 6 in the last 22 years and thats more than the entire newhaven charter fleet added together for that period . I think that some of this down to the new 3d olex system and other info given to us so we will now be spending more time searching for new ground and other types of fish if you would like to go on one of these trips please call john on 07957760063
