Matt Russell scored four goals for Bognor in an impressive home win against high-flying Thurrock.
Defender John Price put the Rocks in front in the first minute before Russell hit a 12-minute hat-trick before the half hour mark.
Loan defender Brett Poate added another midway through the second half and, after the visitors had pulled one back, Russell completed the rout with six minutes left.
The result moved the Rocks up to fourth in the table.
