By Sean McSeveny On July 29, 2016 · 6 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Summer fishing is well upon us and it seems that everyday the fishing just gets better. I reported on Monday about the Bream moving into the area. It looks like this could be one of the best years for Bream fishing in a long time. I have heard reports of catches of 10 or more [...]

The Mackerel Rush – The Good, The Great & The Ugly

By Ben Bassett On July 24, 2016 · 7 Comments · In Cornwall, Reports, Tips
In the 1800’s the Californians had the great Rush in shades of Gold, this week in the South West we’ve had our own in shades of blue, silver and black… Yes, the Mackerel are here, and they are here in huge numbers. With the combined help of social media, word of mouth and good ol’ [...]

Death Rolls & Slime – The Freshwater Eel

By Ben Bassett On July 21, 2016 · 2 Comments · In Cornwall, Reports
There are not many fish in fresh and salt water that have as bad a reputation as the eel. No, not the mighty Conger, the much more humble freshwater European Eel. If you have fished for any length of time in freshwater you will have quite likely come across one. The dreaded ‘bootlace’ eel, taking [...]

At last the Mackerel are here in numbers

By Sean McSeveny On July 15, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach
I don’t ever remember having to wait so long for the Mackerel to arrive in large number, but the good news is they are finally here and they are huge fish.   I always welcome the Mackerel, because so many other species depend on them, it often brings in the Rays. Not necessarily for the [...]

Split-Shotting for ultra light lure fishing

By Jamie Sandford On July 14, 2016 · 8 Comments · In Freshwater Fishing, Lure, Lure Fishing, Species
Lure fishing takes many forms within modern day angling. Saltwater and Freshwater the scene is booming and becoming ever more popular, you only have to read the weeklies to see the words L.R.F and Drop-Shot. So this brings me to write about what I’ve been doing recently, ‘Split-Shotting’. I was introduced to this technique by [...]

A tough weekend

By Sean McSeveny On July 11, 2016 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Another weekend of fairly strong SW winds made fishing Chesil uncomfortable at best. There was a few fish that came from there, mostly Smoothounds and a few Mackerel. Most anglers opted to fish some of the more sheltered marks. Ollie Mears decided to fish West Bay harbour and landed several Flounder and a specimen Thin [...]

from hook to plate

By Irene Hodgson On July 8, 2016 · 2 Comments · In Kayak Fishing, Marks, Recipies, Tyne & Wear
Since being little I have had a love of smoked fish, mainly Haddock and Cod. Mam used to poach it in milk, and we would have it with loads of bread to dip in the juice. So since we have a regular supply of prime North Sea Cod, I still found myself having to buy [...]

Gurnard, the fish of the summer

By Sean McSeveny On July 8, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I always associate the first regular catches of Gurnard with the start of the summer fishing season. The Gurnard are normally closely followed by another of my favourite eating species the Black Bream. This week has seen a number of nice Gurnard landed and it comes as no surprise that my friend, Roger Morgan had [...]

The Perils of Dating Film Stars in Public

By Corsican Dave On July 6, 2016 · Add Comment · In Freshwater Fishing, Reports
Allegedly the best way of keeping something secret is to have it in the open for everyone to see. This has definitely been the case with my alien hot-spot, the duck pond. Every man & his dog walks past, not to mention the mums with pushchairs, kids on bikes, foreign tourists on a post dinner [...]

A great year for Smoothound

By Sean McSeveny On July 5, 2016 · 7 Comments · In Reports
Smoothound are one of my favourite species of fish from the shore. They fight like demons and even on fairly heavy beachcasters, they put up a great show. So you can imagine how happy I am that we are seeing so many Smoothound on chesil this year. I managed to get hold of some Crab [...]

More Bass bans to come but why?

By Sean McSeveny On July 1, 2016 · 16 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The good news is that from today, we are allowed to keep one Bass per angler, as long as it is 42cm or larger.   The bad news is that a scientific report released yesterday from ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea), recommends a complete ban on Bass fishing for the year [...]
