We are now starting to fish the inshore water for the winter Cod and Whiting. Then from February 2020 we will then start wreck fishing for the Cod and Pollock.
Ocean Warrior 3 will be in the water and available for trips during the Christmas holiday period, so if you fancy a trip out for the Cod and Whiting give David a call on 07966 377145.
We will be out of the water for a few weeks in January for annual maintenance and then back in the water ready for the Cod and Pollock to start!
We are now taking bookings for the Winter Cod fishing and also for next year, so why not get in early and get your trips booked in. Check out our availability on the calendar or for more information on bookings visit www.oceanwarrior3.com -

What can I say, The Ocean Warrior Crew came up trumps again!. My nephew, visiting from the States, wanted to try his hand at fishing the Channel. Dave put together an individual’s trip targeting Blonde Rays during the slack and Turbot once the tide started to trickle.
All Anglers managed to catch and the jovial atmosphere and helpfulness of the crew made for another memorable trip. This topped off with my personal best Turbot!
My nephew Zach had a “lifetime experience” his words not mine, and surely will not forget Dave and Jay’s hospitality. Jay had to think on his feet when Zach hooked into a 12lb undulate on 6lb Turbot gear. Coaxing Zach on how to “Pump and Wind” they soon had the fish boated. Zach found it a little slimy so the picture is of me holding his fish. After photos, Jay released it to fight another day. -

Another brilliant day on the brand new Ocean Warrior 3. Large bream all day long breaking my previous record of 14 in one day to 36 today! Majority went back to fight another day! Thank you Dave for the precision anchoring. Boat only 50 feet away from us managed the odd bream but were plagued with pout. Jay kept the kettle going throughout the day and was a deft hand on the net....

Last month we had some cracking weather.
This month however has started off a bit windy. We are still getting summer fishing inshore. We have had Undulate Rays, a few Cod starting to show and we are still catching Conger along with a few Bass still around.
Woody had a day out on Ocean Warrior 3 and caught his personal best Bass of 14lb using Mackerel bait.
We have spaces available mid-week and weekends now that we are starting the winter Cod fishing. If you fancy booking up a winter Cod fishing trip, call Dave on 07966 377145. -

We haven't reported for a little while, but now after being out of the water for 6 weeks for some maintenance we are up and running again.
We are back in and have done a couple of good wrecking trips.
We have had some nice double figured Pollock showing on the deep wrecks. We have also had some early Plaice showing on the inshore marks as well.
We are looking forward to some good spring weather and some good fishing. -

The end of August and this month so far has given us the odd day of nice weather to get out fishing.
We have been getting some Turbot and Bard Gunderson brought out his 2 sons out for a days fishing. They had some nice Turbot on the day.
On the day there were about 50 Turbot caught on the day. There are also a few Plaice on the inshore marks along with some Underlate Ray and Thornbacks showing as well. There are also some nice Black Bream showing too.
Looking forward to fishing throughout September and hoping that the weather stays kind. We are also still enjoying the move to Brighton Marina, which offers a wide range of restaruants and bars to enhance the day. -

A fantastic day drift fishing with Dave Elliott on Ocean Warrior. Drifting the banks off of Brighton we have over 50 turbot and brill along with gurnards, ray, bream and mackerel. Most of the turbot were between 3lb and 6lb and the biggest brill was 4lb. We also had a 16lb undulate ray and some big mackerel to 3lb 8oz.
Dave and his crew man worked hard to find us the mackerel for bait and then the flats. A welcome cup of tea helped refresh us on the slack when the bites slowed down a little.
Can't wait to get out there again

There have also been a few Brill along with Undulate Ray and Blonde Ray showing as well.
Here is Mick with a 'double shot' of Turbot.
There have also been a few Mackerel showing up now inshore, along with some nice Plaice inshore still.
Still enjoying the move to 'Brighton Marina'. -

Another cracking day aboard Ocean Warrior 3. Since the move to Brighton from Newhaven, Dave now has access to the Bream grounds at Kingmere.
Our range group was able to take full advantage of this on father’s day with multiple 3lb+ bream. After we lost the tide, Dave moved on to another mark where we drifted and caught plaice and undulate.
Though the trip was to be a wrecking trip, Dave let us know that the wrecks weren’t producing well yet and we were better off on the Bream. Great to see a skipper actively helping anglers get on the fish rather than take the money for a wrecking trip..... -

Just a quick update from Ocean Warrior 3.
After 20+ years, we have decided to move Ocean Warrior 3 from Newhaven to Brighton Marina for a change.
Brighton Marina offers a more varied range of facilities and local shops/restaurants to give you a better experience before and after your fishing excursion.
We look forward to seeing you in Brighton.
