Chesil Hunter's Fishing Reports

I had a short session at west bexington this weekend , My target was bass as I had some good sized bass at the west end of the beach towards the end of last year 'mainly at Cogdon' but didn't find the walk down the hill too apealing this weekend so parked up at west bexington and walked towards Cogdon.I started with ragworm on a loop rig but couldn't find a bite until bang om that magical time on chesil when the tide turns and I had my first bass in a long while and probably the smallest I have ever had !! I wish I could say the fishing really took off after this but it didn't in fact as the sun was going down my bait was being robbed by dogfish and whiting within seconds .So for once I gave up early and will be trying the portland end next weekend in the hope to avoid the bait robbers

Another day off work for fishing so I decided to make the long walk past the teeth which is about a 40 minute walk from the car park .I arrived at low tide with a calm sea and there was plenty of fish for the first 3 hours but they were all whiting. Strangely the fishing completely died from a couple hours before high water and over it but I was thinking they would come on the feed when the tide turned at 3:15pm so I had two pulley pennels rigs  loaded up with lugworm ready for then but at 3:13pm I had a slack liner and lost it in the gutter.So quickly chucked out the pulley pennel rig and before I could sit down it had already been slack lined resulting in a 3lbs codling not massive but the biggest of the week I could not get through the whiting after this so I stuck to using simple rigs as the whiting were just going crazy but even the pulley pennel rigs didn't help as i was still getting two fish on each rig although most were of good size. I lost a big fish on a squid bai

A pleasant days fishing at ferrybridge although it did rain most of the day and there was no big Cod at the end of the rainbow :( but plenty of codling about And I also had a nice pollack on a 10ft flowing  dvice rig which I was very happy with My mate also managed a nice smooth hound and 3star fish !!

I had the day off work Friday so I went out fishing with a couple of mates from Three Counties saa .They wanted to go over the fleet in there boat so to make the most of it we left at 5am which meant getting up at 3:45 am !! .When we arrived the tide was running hard the wrong way and the wind and rain made it difficult to cross, we managed it in the end but I will not be taking that up as a hobby in the early hours ! Fishing Started well for me with a nice codling on my first cast but the joy didn't last long as my new rod broke leaving me with my older rods which cast much shorter distances and this is probably why I could connect with anymore cod  where as my mates were catching loads of them.I did manage a pollack close in and a dab We cut the trip short as the weather didn't look to good so we had to row across the fleet against the tide again which did not go well for some time ! After having so many codling of late me and Colin fancied a change so we thought we wo

Three Counties sea Angling association held it's last match of the season on the 8th of November the venue was Abbotsbury and the weather on arrival was awful !! with a big sea and and a very strong southwesterly wind and rain postponing the start of the match for a few hours from 1:30 to a 3pm start .But thankfully the forecast was right for once with the wind and rain passing through by 3pm .All of the group fished just to the left of car park apart from me opting to walk to the teeth .The fishing was much easier going then we thought with the sea calming down very quickly as the wind dropped and there was plenty of fish to! I managed 6 codling all about 2lbs a dog fish and a couple whiting I believe everyone managed to land at least one codling with about 25 in total at the weigh in ,but still not much sign of the bigger ones showing . I finished a close 4th with the other members getting good hauls of dogfish!!! If anyone is looking for a club to join ...next month at
