    We are nearly at the end of another year.

    We have still been out fishing on the ground for the Cod and Whiting even though the weather has not been brilliant this winter so far.

    We are looking forward to starting the wreck fishing at the end of January for the big Cod and Pollock!

    We are now taking bookings for 2015 - check out our calendar for available dates or visit www.oceanwarrior3.com for more information.

    I would like to take the opportunity to thank all our anglers for their support and custom during 2014 and would like to wish them a great festive season! I look forward to seeing you all again in 2015, hopefully we will get some good fishing weather!

    Now that Autumn has arrived the Turbot and Brill fishing is now starting to slow up. Although over the last couple of weeks we have still seen some nice sized fish on the open ground marks and some good sized Conger showing on the wrecks.

    We are now looking to the beginning of the Winter Cod fishing season, although with the odd wrecking trip sneaking in there. There are a few Cod starting to show already on the inshore ground marks.

    We now have our tide tables for 2015 and are now taking bookings. There are a few weekend dates available at the moment, so get yourselves booked in early as the weekend dates are going quickly already.

    This month the weather has been pretty good to us and we have managed to get a few good trips in.

    There have been some good sized Turbot and Brill around, along with some good sized Conger on the wrecks. Andy Matthews had the biggest eel this month at 83lb 6oz, caught on a Mackerel flapper.

    They had 100 eels over 2 days of fishing. All the eels were returned to sea alive to give other anglers some good sport fishing and to conserve the stocks of Conger.

    There were also some good Black Bream showing on the wrecks with the odd Cod and Ling showing as well.

    We are just beginning to find some Cod and Whiting showing on the inshore ground, so throughout October we will move inshore for the winter Cod season.

    This week has been pretty good and has been producing some good sized Cod and Pollock on the offshore wrecks.

    There are also a few Conger's starting to play.

    Brentwood Sea Fishing Club had a trip last week and managed to 4 Conger, 32 Pollock and 5 Cod during the day. They mainly used sidewinders and red gills.

    We had another good weekend on the offshore wrecks.

    The tides were really big, but, we still managed to find some really good Cod and Pollock on the drift using the sidewinder lures.

    The weather has been really kind over the last week with some flat calm sea's and the fishing has picked up due to the water clearing up.

    There have even been a few Conger showing now on the smaller tides.

    We are now looking forward to some more of this good fishing weather for the months ahead....

    My group has been going out with Dave for the past 4 years and he always delivers:-). I called him to confirm Wednesday's trip and he advised we were going out for a mid channel wrecking trip for Cod and pollack....which is exactly what we did having over 60 quality table fish including a 17lb Cod to Shamil, on his first ever wrecking trip. Shamil also managed a bonus bass, one of two boated on the day. Dave and Jason were kept busy netting the fish, patiently untangling when the two first timers birds nested or overan after their leads hit the bottom and making the tea! I can't recommend Dave more highly. He has a wonderful sense of humour, knows where the fish are, and is an excellent skipper.

    Tabish's crew had a cracking days wreck fishing. They had over 60 Cod and Pollock and a few Bass thrown in. The biggest Cod of the day was from Ish's Son on his first wreck fishing trip, of which he caught Cod, Pollock and Bass - cracking time for his first time.

    This month has really picked up as the weather has started to clear. The fishing seems to be getting better and better. This week we also had Congers up to 50lb.

    If you fancy a day out with Ocean Warrior 3 give Dave a call on 07966 377145.

    The Pollock fishing off Brighton on the deep water wrecks has been providing some great sport recently. The Pollock numbers are increasing now that we have had some good weather to get out on those deep water wrecks.

    Tabish and his crew had a good day out Pollock fishing off Brighton aboard Ocean Warrior 3. Tabish’s biggest Pollock of the day was 14lb. During their day out Pollock fishing off Brighton they caught 41 good sized Pollock and 1 Cod. They caught these fish by using sidewinder lures while drifting over a World War I shipwreck off the Sussex coast.

    Ocean Warrior 3 is based in the port of Newhaven, which is the next port along from Brighton. We regularly go Pollock fishing off Brighton and along the Sussex coast. Newhaven Marina offers free parking along with a cafe/bakery, convenience shop and a tackle shop for all your fishing requirements within easy walking distance of the boat.

    If you are looking around for a trip Pollock fishing off Brighton or even a ground fishing trip inshore then give David a call on 07966 377145, or, check out our website at www.oceanwarrior3.com for more information.

    This week has produced some big Pollock out on the deep water wrecks in the English Channel.

    John 'Chalky' White's crew had a good day on the Pollock and the biggest on the day was 16lb 4oz. The crew found that the sidewinder lures seemed to be producing the best results.

    There are also Plaice and Whiting still showing on the inshore marks.

    Looking forward to some better weather coming to get in some more good fishing in...
