The best week of fishing this year

By Sean McSeveny On August 31, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
When is the best time to fish Chesil Beach? Right now! is the answer. I can’t remember ever seeing so many anglers on Chesil as there was on Friday and saturday. From Chesil Cove to as far as I could see, there were anglers all along the beach. Is this the start of the Cod season? [...]

Cod and Bass, just as predicted!

By Sean McSeveny On August 28, 2015 · 7 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I predicted that we would see plenty of Cod and Bass on Thursday, when the sea settled after the blow on Tuesday and Wednesday. It seems on this occasion I got it spot on. I gave my friend Gavin a tip off as to where I thought he would manage some Cod from the Western [...]

Brilliant boat fishing

By Sean McSeveny On August 26, 2015 · Add Comment · In Boat Fishing, Reports
It has been a while since I have done a boat report, but as the boat fishing has been even better than the shore fishing at the moment, I thought it was time to do a catch report. Trad Casey has been showing once again that you don’t need a fast boat, or have to [...]

Fishing at its best

By Sean McSeveny On August 24, 2015 · 4 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
We have now moved into the best fishing time of the year on the South coast. Fishing has been very good over the past few days, not just on Chesil, but a lot of other marks as well. At this time of year there is so much good fishing, I always have a problem deciding [...]

Stone Bass

By Sean McSeveny On August 21, 2015 · 4 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I love to see unusual and exotic species turning up around the shores of the UK. This week I had a message from Stuart McNab, who runs the charter boat Dev Ocean out of Milford Haven. He sent me a picture of a 12 1/2lb Stone Bass that was caught on his boat. Stone Bass [...]

Carp fishing in France

By Darren Mills On August 19, 2015 · Add Comment · In Reports
Last month I had the pleasure of joining several of my friends including my Dad on a carp fishing trip to Calvados in lower Normandy, France. We went to a lake called La Carrier which is renowned for its quantity as well as quality of Carp. The weather forecast for the week was fairly good, [...]

Summer Fishing around Poole at its best

By Leo Toms On August 18, 2015 · Add Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
Although maybe the weather doesn’t reflect it. The fishing around the Poole areas is on fire at the moment. Me and my mate Martin have chosen to keep fishing the Southbourne beaches. Over the weekend we landed Sole, Red Mullet, Gurnard, Bream, Plaice as well as the usual Bass,  Smoothhound and Pout. Whilst none of [...]

Plenty of Plaice

By Sean McSeveny On August 17, 2015 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Reports coming in from the weekend suggest that there was a lot of Plaice caught all along the beach. Unfortunately for most, they were at long range. The Mackerel however were not, as at times they were almost on the beach, as they chased shoals of White Bait onto the beach. I have heard from [...]

Looking good for the weekend

By Sean McSeveny On August 14, 2015 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Does Chesil Beach fish in a NW wind? Is the Mackerel season over? Where can I catch Undulate Rays on Chesil? These are just some of the questions I have been asked this week. I get sent hundreds of emails everyday asking various questions, unfortunately I do not have enough hours in the day to [...]

By Adrian Crawford On August 13, 2015 · 6 Comments · In Reviews, Tackle
This review was scheduled to be a special report from France featuring huge waves, Atlantic storm beaches, sun, sea and heavy metal (well Dexter wedges and Megabass Vibe lures) what could be better? Unfortunately for reasons that will become clear later it has morphed itself into a waterproof Android smartphone review. Android or IOS First [...]

Gurnard galore

By Sean McSeveny On August 11, 2015 · 4 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Gurnard really are quite an easy fish to catch. At the moment it seems that there are loads of them all around this area. They have become one of my favourite fish to eat, so I am pleased to see so many of them. Tactics are simple; a two hook flapper rig baited with small [...]

Sean is at River Cottage today so the catch report will be delayed until Tuesday. Here is Leo’s catch report on a couple of successful trips last week. – Ade.   Thursday night saw me down at the Bistro on the Beach at Southbourne, still trying to crack that elusive first sole of the year. [...]

This could be the best fishing weekend of the summer!

By Sean McSeveny On August 7, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Cod, Cod and more Cod. No this is not a cut and paste report from last winter! I have been gathering in the reports over the past two days and the Cod, along with the Rays have been featuring heavily. The stiff South Westerly winds have been churning up the shore on Chesil, creating a [...]

Temple Reef Mytho Rod review

By Sean McSeveny On August 6, 2015 · Add Comment · In Reviews, Rods
I first came across the Mytho jigging rod late last year, when I watched a video on Facebook by Dan Konig, who runs Adventure Angler. The video which I have included in this article shows him catching some lovely Cod on jigs up in the Shetland Isles. I got in touch with Dan and he [...]

Plenty of species in the Poole area

By Leo Toms On August 5, 2015 · Add Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
Being so lucky to live so close to the coast. I can keep a close eye on the weather and tides and move on the breaks in the weather. Acting on another night of calm weather forecast and a high tide of around 10pm.  I hit Southbourne beach hoping to bag a sole again, as there [...]

Mackerel Mayhem

By Sean McSeveny On August 4, 2015 · 13 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
At last the Mackerel have finally turned up in numbers. Having seen numerous reports from friends, it looks like the Mackerel have finally made an appearance. The Mackerel turned up fairly early this year, with the first regular catches coming towards the end of March, then it all went very quiet for ages. Now they [...]
