Brighton Sea Fishing Reports

Well, we’re still getting loads of summer Cod on the wrecks and I’ll do a post about that soon, but today we had rare catch indeed, a John Dory for Grey Viking and a rarity for Brighton and Sussex! To put it in perspective we’ve had 5 John Dories aboard since 2008 and we’ve not […]

It’s been a while since I last posted a report so I thought I’d bring you up to date with what’s been happening recently. Wreck fishing out of Brighton from January through until April is the peak season for big Pollack and this year there have been plenty of big fish about, I’d say much […]

Well, we’ve had some more winter gales since my last report but we did manage to get out a couple of times for a spot of Cod Fishing last Wednesday and Sunday. Wednesday was a frustrating day with a strong easterly wind restricting our fishing options, and as many an angler will know “when the […]

A break in the weather allowed us to nip out on Sunday for another day of Cod fishing and what a glorious day it was too, not a breath of wind and glorious sunshine all day! We’d only got out once in the preceding week which proved to be a rare blank on the Cod, […]

I’ve found some time to edit a video of our record day wreck fishing for Cod and Pollack aboard Grey Viking on Monday 31st January 2011:  

If you read about Grey Viking’s amazing start to the wrecking season on Friday 21st January you can imagine that I was itching to get out to the wrecks again to have another go! The trouble was the following couple of days were met with strong northerly winds restricting us to fishing inshore for the […]

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 […]
