How far do I need to cast on Chesil

By Sean McSeveny On October 31, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Chesil Beach is not the easiest beach to fish in any conditions, it is very mark specific and it is well known that the better casters normally fair better than the rest of us mere mortals. In reasonable  conditions you can easily pick up lots of fish at no more than 60yds and on some [...]

Chesil Beach after the storm

By Sean McSeveny On October 29, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
How long after a storm does it take for Chesil Beach to become safe enough to fish? Will I be able to fish Chesil this afternoon? Well the answer to those questions depend on a number of factors. First is the length and strength of the storm, and we assume that it was South Westerly. [...]

Gosport Pier, Back for more LRF Having thoroughly enjoyed our Light Rock Fishing trip to Gosport Pier, we have recently returned another four times to hone our technique and perfect the tackle set up.

Where to fish in Dorset if Chesil is too rough.

By Sean McSeveny On October 22, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I don’t know how many of you got out over the weekend, I didn’t as I decided that as the weather was so poor, I would make some headway on the huge list of jobs that the missus had for me, that I had managed to put off for months. I had a couple of [...]

Seaspin Mommotti 190. Do big lures mean big fish?

By Sean McSeveny On October 14, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Lure, Reviews
I recently entered a Facebook competition that Nice Fish were running to try and win a Seaspin Mommotti 190. James Davis, owner of Nice Fish,  the importers of Seaspin lures, Majorcraft rods and Sunline braid, wants to put a theory to the test. He believes that big lures catch bigger fish. It is a theory [...]

Catch report & fishing forecast for Dorset including Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth

By Sean McSeveny On October 14, 2013 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
What are the best tides to fish Chesil? Well it certainly wasn’t the ones we have just had this weekend. To say fishing was a bit slow is an understatement, especially down at the Abbotsbury end of the beach. Anglers faired a bit better at Ferrybridge with good numbers of Bream showing, for those on [...]

Squid fishing or jigging seems to be the hot topic at the moment. They are being caught all over the place. Lots have come from Chesil, off the piers at Weymouth, Swanage and West Bay, and from the boats. I didn’t realise how popular it is. My task for next week is to find out [...]

By Sean McSeveny On October 7, 2013 · 3 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Shore fishing in Dorset normally peaks in October, early reports suggest that this October will be no different. You have all of the summer species still around, and the winter visitors arriving by the day. The summer species are in the peak of condition, especially the Plaice that have put on lots of weight since [...]

Lure review: Seaspin Pro-Q 90

By Adrian Crawford On October 2, 2013 · 9 Comments · In Lure, Reviews
The Pro-Q 90 was my first introduction to Seaspin as a company early in March 2012, Sean had been raving about its big brother the Pro-Q 120 but as I prefer smaller lures for a lot of the fishing I do I decided on the 90. My favorite top water lure at the time was [...]

Catch report & fishing forecast for Dorset including Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth

By Sean McSeveny On October 1, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Autumn sea fishing in Dorset was pretty mixed this past weekend. The beach produced pretty much what I thought it would. A few codling, some Bream, a good few Smoothound and Gurnard and loads of Mackerel and Garfish. Nothing to get too excited about, but the tides were very small, so expectations were not too [...]
