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

By Sean McSeveny On April 29, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
It seems that I got the forecast right for over the weekend, with plenty of fish being caught all along the beach. It seems that the Dogfish have arrived in force, as well as a pack of Puppies. Lots of very small Smoothound have appeared, most of them only being around 5 or 6oz. My mate [...]

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

By Sean McSeveny On April 27, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
We have a weekend of good weather and hopefully great fishing to look forward to. With big tides, better water clarity and lite winds, conditions are looking very good for Plaice fishing. More and more Mackerel are turning up and long with them will come other species. I would expect to see a few Rays [...]

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

By Sean McSeveny On April 25, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Things are finally starting to happen all over Dorset. The Plaice have moved into Poole harbour and several boats have been successful in targeting them. Mackerel are showing up on Chesil, still in low numbers but at least they are being caught. Plenty of Plaice have been caught down at Cogden and West Bexington, along [...]

Lure fishing for Thin Lipped Mullet

By Sean McSeveny On April 23, 2013 · 14 Comments · In Lure, Tips
I was really excited when I heard that the Mullet had finally come back into Weymouth Harbour, after what seems to me to be the longest winter I can remember. I had a trip down to the harbour on Sunday and I can tell you the Mullet were around in large numbers. I spotted at [...]

At last a decent weekend of fishing for a lot of anglers. It is as if someone flipped a switch last week and turned the fishing on. There was a lot of anglers fishing Chesil from Abbotsbury to Cogden and plenty of Plaice and Dabs caught. There was a nice 11lb Undulate Ray caught to [...]

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

By Sean McSeveny On April 20, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Finally some settled and slightly warmer weather has arrived. It has also brought the Thin Lipped Mullet in to Weymouth harbour. Unfortunately there is still quite a bit of colour in the water of Chesil Beach. This will clear over the next 48 hours and then I am sure we will see quite a few Mackerel being [...]

It is still a bit lumpy on Chesil Beach at the moment, and it will remain the same until Friday. I have just had a look at the long range wind forecast on Windguru, and I can’t dare believe what it says. From Friday onwards we are forecast for light winds, mainly from the South West. [...]

How to hook and rig Peeler Crabs

By Sean McSeveny On April 16, 2013 · 4 Comments · In Bait, Tips
Peeler Crab is arguably the best shore fishing bait available. It is also the most expensive bait, unless you collect your own. I was surprised at the number of anglers that don’t use it simply because they don’t know how to hook and rig it.  I guess at a £1 a crab  I can understand [...]

I am glad I didn’t waste my time going fishing over the weekend, as most of the reports coming in suggest it was one of the worst for catches for a long time. Even the Chesil Championships were little more than a lottery, with the winner weighing   in just a single fish. It just [...]

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

By Sean McSeveny On April 12, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Beach Fishing on Chesil should be OK for today, but with stronger winds forecast for the next couple of days, the beach will become very difficult to fish over the weekend. Whilst it will have a negative effect for those looking to get a Plaice or two, you might be able to pick up an [...]

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

I am just starting to get a little excited, as I have been closely monitoring the sea water temperature and finally it is starting to rise. It has now reached 6.5 degrees which is still very low, but it has increased by half a degree in 5 days, which for the sea is a large [...]

It seems that there are still plenty of fish left after the Flatfish competition at the weekend. One of my regular contributors, who lives in Bristol, traveled down to Cogden yesterday and managed 6 Plaice. Elsewhere there have been some Rays coming from the beach at Seaton on Mackerel baits. I am happy to announce [...]

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

By Sean McSeveny On April 8, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
At last a weekend that has seen a lot more fish caught than has been for some time. It seems that the Plaice were all along Chesil Beach and not just down the Western end. The Chesil Flatfish open had a very good turnout with over 150 anglers. Over a third of them caught flat [...]

By Sean McSeveny On April 6, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Looking at the wind forecast I can see things are going to start changing this week. Later this afternoon we will see the wind switch from the east to the more normal prevailing South Westerly winds that we are use to. This will bring in much warmer air. It also normally brings in rain. Anyway [...]

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

By Sean McSeveny On April 3, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Nothing much has changed over the last 24 hours other than the conditions have calmed down a little and the non easterly facing beaches are nice and calm. I thought I would share this picture of James Lane’s Haddock that he caught on Saturday at Abbotsbury. Thanks to Dave Lane for permission to use the [...]

Are we having a spring run of Cod? Unlikely, but there was a few caught over the weekend. I know of at least half a dozen that were caught from the area between the Adelaide and the other side of the bird sanctuary at Ferrybridge. The Portland end of Chesil beach fished far better than [...]
