Three counites saa match 8th Nov and chesil cod open 9th Nov

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 west bexington would be a good time to come along . As this will be are first match of the new season with one following every month . Very simple rules 2 rods 3hooks max ,prize money 1st 2nd 3rd . £10 to sign on for the season then £8 at every match which covers the pool as well.

Cod open 9th November

Well me and club member Colin made a last minute decision to walk right of the car park towards the old coastguards cottages. This was a very bad decision with us getting Plenty of whiting and only one codling each so we were rather sick when we got back to the weigh in to see buckets full of codling coming from the other end of the beach .So next year we will be going left !!!!

Hello and welcome to my fishing blog , My name is Nicholas Barsby and fishing is a big part of my life , I have been fishing Chesil beach for 24 years and started blogging my reports mainly so I can look back at the previous years catches and keep all my photos in one place. But from next year '2017' as well as my reports I will be going in to more detail when it comes to the rigs and bait I use and why . Hopefully this will help a few of you beginner's catch a fish or two! Fishing is not only a hobby for me it is also work as I have designed many rigs for various Fishing Brands and have made around 40'000 rigs to date !! If you are fishing chesil for the first time but unsure on anything just get in touch and I will try and point you in the right direction stay safe!! Tight lines

Catch Up Report !!

OK guys and girls I apologise for the lack of reports on here!  I haven't been out very often and I am computer-less so I have only been able to post up on facebook . But I will give a brief summary of the year and an out look for the months ahead !! I will start with my favourite species plaice of which it has been a great year yet again only failing to catch on a few trips , I'm always trying to improve when it comes to catching flatties and I have to say the new glow conti pyramid weights really do seem to find the bigger fish TRY THEM!! The average length of the fish has been very impressive if they were not so thin earlier in the year I would have had several over 3lbs and a even more over 2lbs .If your looking for a specimen plaice I think you will stand a very good chance on the big tides through August and September we might even here of a few 4lbers this year... Sole numbers have been good for the time of year but the average size has been below last year wh

Plaice Aplenty ,April 2017

Image
Well folks I know most have been struggling throughout April with spider crabs, far to many dogfish and not a lot else!  But I have to say its been one of my better starts to the year searching for the humble flatfish on Chesil. I'm not sure if being prepared to walk along way every trip gave me a better shot at finding a few as the extra space enabled me to plain lead with some seriously strong tide movement , at times I needed 40 yards either side of me. I'm sure keeping to freshly dug ragworm and not tipping off with squid or fish baits kept the dogs to a minimum!! Its nice to see a few more Dab about this year with some of good size, lets hope the number increase Speaking of size a lot of the plaice I caught were clearly returning from spawning but in fantastic condition with a good bit of  weight on them for the time of year . So I think we will see a good stamp of fish from late August/September around the 2lb mark . I'm not saying all of them but more
