Another great day out on the wrecks with plenty of decent double figure Pollock and the odd Codling thrown in for good measure.
Very little availability for the remainder of the year and no additional dates being added so if you would like to join us you had better get booked on.

The last of 5 consecutive days at sea and what a lovely way to complete this block of fishing! Another Bream trip to the rocks in search of some Spring fish and the crew absolutely nailed it! Frantic at times, slower at others but the general quality of fish was extremely high. Colin (pictured) is probably feeling pretty pooped right now, he seemed to be into a fish every couple of minutes and most were of a similar and fantastic stamp to this one…… very well done Col.
Fun and laughter all day from an outstanding group, great fish for the table and a happy crew - perfect days inshore fishing.

Report on-board Deep Blue
Well, what a day we’ve just had out on Deep Blue. Only the 4 customers onboard today, with mixed approaches and experiences with a rod in hand.
The bites happened as soon as the silt from dropping the anchor had settled. A nice little plaice followed by a lovely double figured Thornback ray flew onto the deck. The ray took us by surprise because we had literally just put the rods into their holders on the first drop of the day. Not long after another double ray, followed by another.
We had definitely found the ray‘s stomping ground. Across the deck a double shot whiting was being hauled, and a complimentary dog fish, and then more whiting. Then BANG! Another big bend in the rod, and up came another double figured ray. This time tipping the scales at 14lb 8oz. Aggelos, a young Greek lad from West London had the privilege. Everyone was bringing really decent fish over the gunwales. Bites were thick and fast on the ebb, and well into slack water too.
The bites started to ease off at the turn of the tide. We stayed put and fished the first hour of the flood. The big fish had stopped feeding but we were graced with a few new species for the day. A nice Gurnard, a dab and a Smooth-hound pup were the next to feel peckish.
We lifted the anchor and headed to the rock marks. The water had become noticeably choppier with the strengthening wind. We set up for our first drift. Using a single 4/0 running ledger rig, and a Jaffa cake sized piece of squid, Bruce bounced his lead at the beginning of the rocks. FISH ON! “It’s a pollack” were the words muttered by Bruce’s mates. I readied the net, and up it came. A flipping Codling!! Only about 3.5lbs, but there it was, in all it’s glory, a highly coveted East Sussex cod. As we set about starting another drift the boat was moving around a bit on the chop. One of the group had been caught off guard, and put his hand out to steady himself. Sadly for him, he managed to find the razor sharp blade of a bait knife. I cleaned him up and bandaged his hand. He was adamant he wanted to fish on, but with the water still bashing us about, and everyone having such a good day, they all elected to call it a day a bit earlier so Bill could get his hand checked out. The right call!
All in all, a great day was had, with some fantastic and unexpected fishing, with a great group of lads, and I’m sure they’ll be back for another go in the near future. View Boats Page

The sun is shining with light winds forecast and the fish are turning up. Ray landed this Skate along with 3 others recently so with Skate, early Smoothounds and Bass there's lots to aim at. We have top quality bait available with live shrimp, always a favourite for the Hounds.
Plenty of dates available for groups or individuals just give me a call and let's go fishing. �� View Boats Page

Report on-board Deep Blue
The first annual ‘Eastbourne Spring Challenge’ match fishing comp took place on Wednesday across two boats and featuring 13 anglers. The anglers were of mixed abilities, with some in the current, and previous England home nations fishing team in attendance.
Given the time of year, and the conditions in the build up to the comp, there was a very respectable quantity and range of species brought over the gunwales. Fish over 18cm’s scored, with fish in groups of 1 point fish (inc whiting/pouting), 3 point fish (inc wrasse/dabs) and 5 point fish (inc rays/bass).
Over the 7 hour timeframe well over 400 fish were landed on deck. The fish weren’t weighed, but they were checked for length. Dogfish made up the bulk of the catches, but dabs, plaice, thornback rays, whiting, smooth hounds and a couple of unwanted guests (spider crabs) made up the numbers. The fishing grounds used were that of the Pevensey Shoals and inshore close to Hastings. Fishing at anchor over mud clay and shingle with rocky pinnacles framing the fishing zone was the ground of choice.
We provided the bait packs to the anglers which consisted of mackerel, lug and squid. 3 hooks maximum were allowed. The weather was grey overcast skies and relatively light easterly winds. High tide was at 10am so most of the fishing happened on the ebb, but lots of bites during slack water. View Boats Page
