    The best fishing trips in Newhaven

    8 Hour Trip – Inshore on November 2, 2024 • 4 adults

    The Captain is very nice, and he offered great quality fishing equipment to us for free. He is able to wait us who are running slightly late and is able to help us deal with various scenarios during fishing. He also took the initiative in communicating with us and providing as much help as he could, with a huge smile on the face. One of our team members faced severe sea sick and after communication, he's willing to terminate the trip as soon as possible. There's not much to say but a big compliment!

    Great captain but poor logistics

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (1PM) on May 3, 2025 • 10 adults

    We have not been notified of change of address from Newhaven to Eastbourne (change apparently happened between the booking in November and now). Some of us were waiting in Newhaven and then it took them 1 hour to get to the right location. We’ve been asked to pay 130£ extra to get the hour back which we paid. Not the greatest experience to be honest….Captain was great - recommend

    ?? BRIGHTON MARINA CATCH REPORT – ACTION-PACKED MORNING! ?? What a fantastic morning aboard Kestrel Warrior 6! We welcomed a keen group of anglers from London for a 3-hour trip, setting sail sharp at 8:00am and heading straight for the reefs and broken ground in search of some hard-fighting fish. The fishing didn't disappoint, with a cracking mixed bag coming over the rails including: ? Black Bream ? Mackerel ? Smoothounds ? Conger Eels ? Plaice ? Dabs The star of the day was our young angler onboard, who landed the biggest fish of the trip – a beautiful 2lb Black Bream! As if that wasn't enough, he then hooked into a double shot of Conger Eels, giving him a battle he'll be talking about for a long time. Smiles all round and memories made! With plenty of fish showing and summer fishing getting better by the day, now is the perfect time to get out on the water. ? Trips running 7 days a week (weather permitting) ? First sailing: 7:00am ? Last sailing: 6:00pm ? To book your place call: **hidden content** Tight lines everyone, and we look forward to seeing you onboard soon! ?

    Report – Brighton Marina | Sunday 3rd May **hidden content** With summer fast approaching, it’s safe to say the fishing is starting to pick up—although this weekend has definitely been a bit of a mixed bag. As many of you know, yesterday’s fishing was tough. But as they say, it can be chalk and cheese—and that’s exactly how this weekend has turned out. With the settled weather continuing, things can only improve. Today I had my loyal crew from Romania onboard. I gave them a call the night before to offer postponing, as the fishing had been hard going, but they were keen to get out there—bank holiday, nice weather, and worth a shot! With that in mind, I decided to keep things simple. We met at 8am sharp and set off from Brighton in calm, settled conditions. On the way out, we spotted some surface activity, so we stopped for a quick go at feathering for bait. Instead, we found ourselves into small school bass around the 1lb mark. After a bit of fun (all safely returned), I called lines up and we headed off to target bream. Once on the mark, we were into fish straight away. It wasn’t hectic, but steady enough—around 20 bream in the first hour, along with a couple of flatties in the mix. When things slowed around slack water, we decided to move. The afternoon proved just as productive. We shifted from the first patch of rough ground to another spot a bit further out, past the pier. The wind picked up slightly, but nothing to worry about. Before heading in, the lads fancied trying for some mackerel, so we headed east. To my surprise, we did manage to find a few—but only a handful. By 4pm, we were back at the marina to drop off and pick up our second crew of the day. Second Trip Our second trip was a one-hour mackerel session with first-timers Harriot and family, along with Matilda and her family. This one was a birthday surprise for her son—trips like this are always special, and seeing the smiles all round makes it all worthwhile. As mentioned earlier, I did let them know beforehand that the mackerel weren’t showing in big numbers, but they were happy to give it a go. After heading out, I noticed a few boats working the same area, so we joined them. I showed everyone how to feather properly and helped with the gear, and when we finally found a small shoal, seeing the kids’ faces light up made the trip. That’s what it’s all about. Two trips down, two happy crews. One more day of the bank holiday to go, then it’s back to maintenance! ? Hope everyone is having a great bank holiday and staying safe on the water. Tight lines, Captain Ant ?

    What can i say about the trip today wow what a result. We have recently changed harbour to Eastbourne from Newhaven. And the fishing has been a dramatic change from port. We are enjoying alot more different species of fish. Now we have got lots of reef to fish. What a day we had today with the Pollock and codling.

    Catch report Kestrels warrior 6 I Today I only had 2 people who have fished loads heading out to the banks. we got straight to work haling some nice tope topping almost 60lbs again on live bait. As the day went on we caught an array of different fish. Dogfish gurnard tope thornbacks and undulate rays. Once the tide dropped off we moved closer to shore to fish at anchor over a wreck were we caught 4 congers to 30 lbs by this time I was so tired and my phone was dead so was unable to take photos. The rest of the week looks good. Stay safe out there and tight lines Captain ant ?

    Fishing report for Brighton area Follow us on Facebook **hidden content** So sorry I've not done a post for a while as I've been super busy but hear is a catch report for you. So we had some fantastic wether over the bank holiday and the fishing was as good Going with what I thaught was a good idea at the time we decided to head out to the plaice grounds. And I have to say the plaice are definitely in. We started off with using the trusty 2 hook flowing trace made by zepco. these rigs are awesome well made rigs. Bait of choise was the trusty rag worm supplied by tools and tackle in Newhaven. Starting with a drift of around 1.1 knots we put the baits down and we were straight in to the fish the crew onboard had a bet going which I obviously joined in with. Average size of plaice were small around 33cm for a while I was in the leed with a 39cm plaice and the all of a sudden a monster of the deep poped it's head up . As the day went on the stamp of fish changed from a 35cm avrage to 48cm avrage. Finly found some ground with proper lumps on it . I decided to stay that extra bit longer for the guys and we ended up breaking the boat record With an astonishing 155 plaice in total with an average size of 48 cm and 10 fish over 50 cm the biggest of them being 65cm what a fish and what a day. Till the next time Captain ?

    Kestrel warrior fishing trips Fishing report updated 13th 14th 15th and 16th of April Well we have had a mixed bag this weekend Starting off with a crew from London who we're planning a half days fishing for the kids.we decided to keep it close to Newhaven for this one and I have to say that a week can make so much difference.going from an astonishing 145 plaice one week to none the next but that wasn't all. The crew handed me an onvalope full of old paper £20 notes which was a piss take. But I should of checked. Sunday saw a regular customer Eric and his bunch of Misfit's going out for an offshore trip with the winds a calm and all that . We changed the from wrecks to pecks. Heading out for some bass. And what a result I must say. I think we was only 1 hours into the 8 hour trip and we managed to fill our share of bass catching our 12 fish limit in just 4 shot drifts with that I got the guy's to up sticks and go to some wrecks inshore. I wasn't holding much hope on them and I was proven write with just 1 Pollock to show for it. Later that eavning I took a 2nd crew for a short 4 hour trip we're we caught a further 5 bass between 3of us and with that we headed home. Today's trip was pretty good to I have to say I took my son Paul from FORT ROAD CAFE my dad who is finally getting better. after almost loosing his life at the beginning of last year to COVID. and a new customer from Germany. Both Paul and Ivin caught there first ever bass. That they have waited years to do made my day. We ended up landing our 10 bass limit and then we headed for home . Now the weather has turned I will sit back and chill for a couple of days ? Captain ant ?
