    The weather has not been brilliant so far in 2013, but we are looking ahead and it is that time of year when we are going to start anchoring up for those big Conger Eels offshore.

    The water has been cold for the Conger lately, but hopefully now that wind is back in the south west, it will warm the sea back up for them.

    We have got plenty of cuttlefish ready as we start the anchoring season. We still have dates available on the good anchor tides for those offshore wrecking trips - so get yourself booked in. I am very much looking forward to getting back out there for those big eels.

    We have managed to get some good fishing in this week. We went out to the deep water wrecks looking for those big Pollock. There was plenty of tide to make them feed and we are still finding them very high in the water on the fast retrieve on the gill, 40 to 50 turns up.

    Neil did the best with 11 big Pollock to 15lb 12oz, along with Rich who had Pollock to 14lb 8oz. It was a very enjoyable day with plenty of Pollock for everyone to take home and a great days Pollock fishing.

    We are looking forward to getting back out there for some bigger ones this week. If you fancy a crack at it give Dave a call on 07966 377145 as we still have some spaces available and the weather is looking good.

    We have had some good weather lately and we have managed to get out Pollack fishing.

    Don Matthews had the biggest one this week at 17lb 3oz. It was caught drifting using a white shad lure over a deep water wreck.

    We have been finding that the Pollack have been really high in the water, which has also been really clear.

    If you fancy a day out Pollack fishing - check out the calendar for spaces available or call Dave on 07966 377145.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
