Latest information from Ocean Warrior 3.
We are still getting some nice Plaice inshore and Black Bream just starting to show.
On the wreck fishing we are getting some Cod showing again with Pollack. The Conger eels are starting to feed and have had some over 60lb so far. Also catching some nice Ling at the moment too.

We are now heading into April already.
Fishing has been varied so far this year. We have had some good Cod and Pollock on the wrecks at the begining of the year, along with a good sized Coalfish.
We have also had some great inshore fishing, catching some good sized Plaice, which makes a pleasant change to offshore wreck fishing when the weather isn't so favourable.
The odd Mackerel are starting to show themselves and we should be looking to start Conger fishing in the next few weeks. View Boats Page

Well the weather is getting much more settled and the fishing is better than this time last year with some good Pollack on the wrecks to upper doubles and many in the 8 to 10lb class. If you want a personal best Pollack now is the time to go, before they spawn in April. I've not got to the Cod wrecks yet as the weather has been wrong when the tides are right but we'll get there soon! Another surprise is how good the Plaice fishing is already, it could be a vintage year for Plaice following on from last years bumper catches. Looking ahead as the weather warms up we have Bream fishing to look forward from late April and I'm also doing a lot more PREMIUM DAYS limited to 7 anglers with own tackle only. These trips will be on the very best tides either wrecking offshore or species hunts in the general direction of Selsey - see my calendar on CBUK for details and dates.
Hope to see you soon !! View Boats Page

Report on-board Grey Viking
Well it was a funny old winter! I returned from holiday in the third week in November and we managed 5 days on the trot for inshore winter Cod, it was so warm we were down to teeshirts one day! The Cod were playing ball and we had quite a few in the 16lb class and the best that week went 19lb so I thought "here we go" ... lining up nicely for another good winter season.... But then December arrived, the wind came and it stayed for about 8 weeks! We only managed to nick the odd day here and there when a brief lull in the wind presented itself and it was the worst winter for rough seas I can remember!
The wind finally fell and went northerly marking the start of this cold snap so we got out to the Pollack wrecks on the 29th and 30th January. (The tides were wrong to target my winter Cod wrecks). It's a bit of a gamble looking for decent Pollack in January but we managed a decent catch both days with 5 anglers getting personal bests and 3 of those fish were in the 16lb class, so I was quite happy. On the second of those trips we were unusually short of crew with only 6 anglers aboard and my mate Nick Coster asked me to have a fish myself and try his 6lb class rod for a bit of fun (I dont normally fish myself when wrecking). Anyway, first drop and bang and my personal best Bass of 10lb 4oz soon graced the net... Happy days!
As I write this Grey Viking is out of the water for 10 days for her annual winter maintenance and we are back fishing from the 15th February, weather permitting and the Pollack season should be in full swing by then and there should still be some Lunker Cod in certain areas too !! We also have the Plaice fishing to look forward too which was truly superb in 2010 so tight lines and hope to see you soon! View Boats Page

Recent catches - we are still getting some nice Cod's on the open ground. The biggest yesterday was Sean with his at 15lb. They also had some nice Whiting. But, the weather has not been good recently, looking forward to it dropping again to get so we can get out and get some of those bigger Cod. If you fancy a day out Cod fishing, individuals or groups, email me or give me a call on 07966 377145, website is updated with last minute dates.

Sean Harris had a days ground fishing for Cod. He had the best one of the day that weighed 20lb and was caught using worm and squid bait, on an inshore ledge. They also had some Whiting and Dogfish that day.
The fishing has been a little inconsistant recently due to the weather. There are still Conger and Cod on the wrecks if you get the weather to get out. We have now started inshore ground fishing for Cod. It should start to improve once the weather gets colder, as we are still catching plenty of Mackerel inside, along with some Dabs and Plaice.

Well what can i say about Dave Elliott ?
Top skipper, courteous and simply the best at what he does.
Out on Friday with him.......lots of medium codling about, mix of medium sized pollack and a sprinkling of good sized conger. One things for sure , he tries and tries.....takes it personally if his anglers don't catch fish; now thats gotta be good.
All my personal bests have come on Ocean Warrior 3. Thoroughly recommend him to anyone and reasonable rates to boot. Top skipper. You never caught a decent conger or cod.......Speak to Dave, he'll soon put you straight. Tight lies.

Friday 21st January - Red Letter Day for start of 2011 Wrecking season on Grey Viking
Well the wrecking season for 2011 got off to an amazing start today aboard Grey Viking, with some of the best early season wreck fishing we’ve ever seen. Today was a speculative trip originally planned as an inshore Cod fishing trip but I decided to offer the crew a go out on the wrecks based on a good weather window and a hunch. Boy did that prove to be a good decision today. If only all days could be as good (I wish) !!
The distances involved to my chosen area meant we had 5 hours of steaming and 4 hours of fishing, with a 45 minute slack in the middle, so it was a small fishing window. But the crew of 8 (including 5 newcomers to wreck fishing) were up for it, so we went for it!
Well, we ended up with 27 Cod including a 30lb 3oz monster, a 25lb, 22lb, 19lb and loads in the 15lb to 18lb bracket. Alongside this we had a few smaller Cod plus 3 smallish Pollack giving a haul of 30 fish in total with a total catch weight in excess of 450lb !
Seven of the eight anglers aboard recorded a personal best as follows:
* 30lb 4oz Cod – Warren Slatter
* 25lb Cod – Dan Dice
* 22lb Cod – Clive Marshall
* 19lb Cod – Gary Tidd
* 18lb Cod – Dan Batchelor
* 18lb Cod Ben Waddington
* 15lb Cod – Gazza Tidd View Boats Page
