Fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth. 30th June 2012

By Sean McSeveny On June 30, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
I know that I said that Chesil was unfishable yesterday and in my opinion from a safety aspect it was. Despite that some people battled against the elements and had a very good session. One of my friends had a 4 hour session in the afternoon and managed to land 5 Bass, a Bream and [...]

By Sean McSeveny On June 29, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
You know it is a Friday when the wind gets up and makes fishing Chesil almost impossible for the whole day. This is the 3rd Friday in a row that this has happened. Still it gives the water a good churning up and creates a good environment for Bass. Wind forecast SW 25mph gusting 35mph [...]

By Sean McSeveny On June 27, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
Not much change in conditions since yesterday, but there has been a lot of Bass caught in the past 2 days. Mostly on lures. It seems that they have come in after the huge shoals of Mackerel. Wind forecast SW 10mph Water Temperature: 14.2*c                 Weymouth High Tide: 11.53am, 1.67m Sea Conditions: Chesil Beach: Calm with [...]

I apologise for yesterdays forecast being such a mess. I was locked out of the server whilst I was doing the update and could make no further changes until this morning. I had a report yesterday that a spear fisherman had shot a 9lb+ Gilthead Bream from Portland Bill. It was weighed in at Chesil [...]

Looks like we are in for a few days of settled weather combined with fairly warm water temperatures. This should be good for some Bream and hopefully a Trigger Fish or two.   Wind forecast SW 10mph   Water Temperature: 14.2*c                 Weymouth High Tide: 11.08am, 1.75m   Sea Condition Chewith small waves with a 1m [...]

Almost a repeat of last Saturday, but with better tides this weekend. I  just had a look at Chesil and I am glad to say that with care it is fishable. Nice bit of surf running with some big rollers that will hold some nice Bass. However be very aware of the undertow it can [...]

Boat fishing report from Weymouth & Portland 20th June 2012

By Sean McSeveny On June 22, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Boat Fishing, Chesil Beach, Reports
I was lucky enough to be invited out on my friend Fraser’s boat this week. Fraser works abroad in 5 week stints, so the 5 weeks he has off he makes the most of them by going out on his Antares 640 almost every day. The last time he was home I gave him one [...]

By Sean McSeveny On June 22, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
This seems to be a weekend ritual now as we have had almost the same conditions for the past 3 weeks on a Friday. Strong SW winds will basically make Chesil almost unfishable today, but they will drop down tomorrow, which should make for some great Bass fishing again. We have had huge shoals of [...]

Going to keep it very short today as I am creating this report live from a boat leaving Portland Harbour, on my way to catch some fish I hope. The fishing forecast is prettymuch like yesterday so refer to that for your best locations and species. I had a good session down the Bill yesterday [...]

Fishing lessons & guiding

By Sean McSeveny On June 19, 2012 · 4 Comments · In Bait, Guiding & fishing lessons, Lure
When I started this website I had two goals in mind: 1. Provide an resource that would help fellow fishermen to get the most out of the knowledge I had of fishing in Dorset and in particular Chesil Beach, Portland, and Weymouth. 2. Promote the lure fishing revolution. To be honest this is really my [...]

What a wonderful morning it is. A nice bit of sunshine and light winds. Some nice fish were caught yesterday as the sea started to settle. A surprising number of good size Smoothounds showed up especially at the Western end of Chesil. Hopefully they are still around today. Wind forecast SW 9mph Water Temperature: 14.1*c          [...]

Just had a look at Chesil and I am glad to say that with care it is fishable. Nice bit of surf running that will hold some nice Bass. However be very aware of the undertow it can be deadly. It is also pretty good at burying all your gear so make sure you keep [...]

Another rough day out there, which will limit where you can fish, but the plus side is when the wind dies tomorrow the chances of getting a Bass in that rough surf is going to be high. Still plenty of other places to fish and hopefully get some decent fish. Wind forecast SW 33mph gusting [...]

A short Bass session

By Sean McSeveny On June 15, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Guiding & fishing lessons, Lure
How can I catch a bass on lures from the shore in Dorset? As a fishing guide I can tell you , you dont have to spend hours lure fishing to catch Bass. Most of my sessions are fairly short, sometimes as little as 15 minutes, but most last a couple of hours. It is [...]

Not much change today from yesterday. But it will be very different tomorrow with the winds building this afternoon into a storm over night. This will be your  last chance for a few days to target Wrasse on lures, as the colour increases in the water the Wrasse move out to clearer water to feed. [...]

Once again small tides but settled if not a little overcast weather. The story on the beach is it seems like someone has opened up all the kennels as it is Dogfish a cast at times and that is day and night, especially down towards Abbotsbury.

The tides are pretty small today, which means that your chances of picking up Plaice, Dabs and Sole are going to be increased as these fish travel around looking for food, rather than just sit there and wait for it to come to them. However it is not so good for species such as Smoothound, [...]

Despite the wind dropping over night Chesil is still very lumpy and as of 8.50am this morning it is unfishable. This is most likely to change throughout the day as the wind drops further.

It is going to be a wild one today with high SW winds gusting to almost 50mph.This will basically make Chesil unfishable. On a positive note it should break up the May water that has been killing the fishing recently. The local commercial fishermen have netted all along the beach road in Portland Harbour completely [...]

Despite the weather not being fantastic for the past couple of days the sea tempreture has risen considerably in the past week, with a full 1 degree C rise. This is sure to bring the summer species to our inshore waters. I would expect Bream to start appearing in numbers later this week, with some [...]
