Thunder and lighting fishing

By Sean McSeveny On August 26, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
After the exciting conditions at the start of the week, the fishing has settled back into the normal summer mode, with some nice Gurnard being caught and loads of Smoothound. Ben Hackett managed this one from the Ferrybridge end of Chesil. Normally I would say use Peeler Crab to target them, but they seem equally [...]

Gale force fishing

By Sean McSeveny On August 22, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The gale force winds that were forecast for the weekend hit the coast just as predicted. It certainly stirred the water up and just as I predicted on Friday, the Bass and Cod moved in. I fished the Ferrybridge end of Chesil yesterday afternoon, just as soon as the wind and sea had died down [...]

Some bad weather heading our way; Happy days!

By Sean McSeveny On August 19, 2016 · Add Comment · In Reports
I can’t wait for the forecast bad weather to hit Chesil this weekend. No I am not joking. I always look forward to a good short blow in August. If you are ever going to catch a big Bass, chances are it will be then. There are some cracking Bass around at the moment as [...]

Starfish: the return of the 5 legged menace

By Sean McSeveny On August 16, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
One day I am reporting great catches from Chesil, then the next day, it seems like someone flicked a switched and the fishing just turned off. What’s happening? I fished at West Bexington yesterday, in conditions that seemed pretty favourable on the surface. A steady SE wind creating a small bit of surf with clear [...]

Ceaser’s Palace at Bake Lakes & The Cat and Carp Lake at Milemead

By Ben Bassett On August 15, 2016 · Add Comment · In Marks, Reports
With the plethora of excellent sea fishing on offer in the Plymouth area, you wouldn’t expect the coarse fishing to be particularly exceptional. But with the recent addition of two exciting specimen lakes to two of our most popular coarse fisheries, the South-Devon and Cornwall based angler is spoilt for choice. I’m of course talking [...]

Summer Fishing on Chesil

By Sean McSeveny On August 12, 2016 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Chesil Beach can often be over rated at many times of the year, but summer is not one of those times. It is when it comes into it’s own and out-fishes just about every other mark in the country. The diversity of species is incredible. How many other marks do you know where you can [...]

Crooked lines review

By Sean McSeveny On August 11, 2016 · Add Comment · In Books, Reviews
I have to admit that I would not normally have picked up a copy of Dominic Garnett’s latest book, Crooked Lines. Not because I have anything against Dominic, but because I thought I had read all the fishing tales type books that were worth reading. I came across Crooked Lines, whilst looking for a book [...]

A tale of 2 halves

By Dan Austen On August 10, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
As the weather was looking considerably more settled than during the week it was decided that myself and a good friend and new to sea fishing Nick Snelling would hit the shingle of Chesil Beach, with the car loaded and spirits high we left full of optimism as to what this magical place would throw [...]

Bass at their best

By Sean McSeveny On August 5, 2016 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
As predicted last week the Bass fishing was pretty good.  No sooner had I put the forecast up and when my friend Paul Black called me to say he had managed 3 Bass the night before, with the biggest going 7lb. They were tiddlers compared to the 13.5lb Bass that Paul Stewart had from Abbotsbury [...]

My mommy always said there were no monsters. No real ones; but there are……

By Corsican Dave On August 4, 2016 · 2 Comments · In Reports
I saw a whole duck disappear this evening. Not one of my flies, not a duckling; a whole, adult duck. I heard (and saw) the fish charge through the reed bed, heard the commotion as it hit and then the plaintive cries of the duck. Noises that shouldn’t ever come out of a duck. Its [...]

Summer fishing report from the Poole area

By Sean McSeveny On August 4, 2016 · 1 Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
Apologies for the lack of posts. I have been very busy with work ,but I still had managed to get a few sessions in.  July has always a busy month both in work and fishing terms. Sometimes I have been taking the fishing gear and leaving straight from the job to hit the beach. I will [...]

Big Bass week

By Sean McSeveny On August 1, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
One of the things that makes Fishing Tails unique as a site is that we don’t just tell you whats been caught, we try to forecast what’s going to be caught. Well this week I am going to put my neck on the block again and predict that we will see several big Bass coming [...]
