Report on-board Kestrel warrior
So today I set a goal to catch my customers there first ever shark's and what a day. It's been a very long and slow day but we kept going with it. And success was just around the corner. After speaking with the other boats who had assured me that they were all struggling it put me a ease. To know we weren't the only one's.but like a true hero I saved the day all the customer's onboard were chuffed with our success. Tomorrow's trip will be a rough ground trip. Till then this is Captain ant .

We are focusing on Turbot with decent results. Expect the fishing to continue to improve into October. We have built a reputation for delivering on the flatties over the years so if you fancy getting amongst them get in touch.
Best wishes

Fishing Report by Simon Logan
on Deep Blue (Eastbourne, East Sussex)

Report on-board Deep Blue
Today was a day of exceeding expectations ✅
Given the forecast (fishable but choppy start and finish predicted), the current water clarity and the fact that my whole boat group hire wanted to predominately lure fish today, I had a bit of a job on my hands to find the fish. All hiring my Penn rods and reels, and using our Sidewinder lures.
After heading straight out wide to some of the easterly wrecks, I quickly decided (3 wrecks prospected) that we were probably better off heading back inshore a little and working the reefs and rock marks…..
I love it when a plan comes together.
First drift was a reccy. Second drift started and we were soon into a schoolie bass, a little pollack and a codling at the same time. The UK’s holy trinity of fish all on deck in tandem, but all being returned to grow into more worthy foes.
Next drift, a bit of a better bend in the rod, some head shakes, and a bit of line being taken back. A nice pollack of 5lb popped up out of the dark water.
Third drift, a couple of nice codling made an appearance. One slightly bigger than the other, ranging between 4 - 6 lbs.
Last drift, there’s always one more drift, another big bend in the rod. My angler said it felt quite heavy. I watched as a couple of head shakes rattled the tip of the rod, then nothing, just a dead weight. It looked heavy. When the fish made the surface I knew if was the biggest codling of the season. It actually looked like it may even be a double figure COD!!
Sadly, it was JUST under the magic mark making it still only a mere codling, but what a lovely codling it was. It was measured at 74cm’s - you can use this conversion calculator to see what a fish like this would weigh http://www.anglingaddicts.co.uk/fish-length-to-weight/
This Codling is Deep Blue Charters biggest this year.
Slack water arrived, and the fishing stopped dead. We anchored for the start of the ebb in a mark that produces bream-a-plenty, conger and the odd surprise.
Bream started biting immediately, and a little smooth hound joined in the fun taking a tiny piece of squid on a size 2 Cox & Rawle specimen x hook.
Everyone caught, and everyone took some beautiful fish home for dinner.
Well done to James for playing it cool and landing the biggest fish of the day, and a big well done to David who organised the trip. All of his clients and friends tolerated a bit of a choppy morning to be rewarded with some very nice fish indeed.

Report on-board Kestrel warrior
Sunday 3rd July fishing report. So Sunday saw very bad wether and high seas.but in true pirate fashion we we're at sea. Sunday's crew wanted something different so we went tope fishing.startind our day off we left the harbour around 9am heading to a mark known for its tope.on the way out I was doing my daily live feed #kestrelwarriorfishingtv on tiktok. once we got to the mark we started off by fishing for mackerel. once we had enough mackerel we started to go for the tope and once they started I think we had 3 hookups at the same time. after about an hour the Anker tripped so we had to reset but the second time down I lost my Anker for a silly reason I wasn't watching what I was doing. so after that fail we decided to go close to shore and fish for bass. but one of the crew was very green �� so we went in I said to the lads I would do a free trip as the fishing trip went very wrong they were happy with that and rebooked sometimes we as skippers need to do this to show we are not out to rob people.
