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

By Sean McSeveny On May 29, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Just as I though it would be, the fishing over the weekend was pretty tough. May water and below average water temperatures are partly to blame. However it looks like things may have changed for the better. As of late Monday afternoon the fishing on Chesil Beach has suddenly turned on. Rays, hounds and Bass [...]

By Sean McSeveny On May 26, 2013 · 7 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
What a fantastic day to be out fishing. Reports suggest that fishing off Chesil is a bit hit or miss with some nice double figure Smoothound being caught and a few Dabs and Plaice. As predicted the May water is having a bit of an effect on the mackerel fishing. They are on the beach but it [...]

For those reading this, I am sure the question in most peoples minds today, is whether there are going to be any fish around this bank holiday weekend. Well I can tell you that conditions on Chesil are going to be tough! May water and Spider Crabs snipping of your hooks are wreaking havoc on [...]

This has been a mad couple of days for me. The launch of the new look site has kept me so busy that I have only managed to get out fishing twice over the past four days! I am out on my first lure fishing Bass guide of the season today. I have to admit [...]

I hope those of you that got out over the weekend enjoyed some good fishing. Reports suggest that it was a bit quite, and given the size of the tides it was nothing unexpected. Expect that to all change towards the latter part of this week, when the tides pick up. Saturday and Sunday will [...]

The big news today is the reports from just along the coast in Devon of the capture of a 300lb Yellowfin Tuna from Babbacombe Bay, just off Torbay. Reports are unconfirmed as to the method of capture, but it is known it came from a 23ft comercial angling boat. It was landed at Brixham fish [...]

Mullet, Mullet everywhere and not a one to catch!      I have to apologise for how late in the day this post is, but I decided to go out and have a look at the most popular marks this morning. I found myself down at Weymouth Harbour again. I could not resist having another go for [...]

With the high winds we had over night Chesil is really stirred up. At the moment it is just about fishable with care. As the day progresses the sea will calm down a lot, but the water will remain coloured. It is ideal conditions for Bass. I know of several big Bass that have been [...]

10 Degrees Celsius! The magic number has finally been reached. This is the temperature that I have been waiting for, for over a month now. It is the trigger point for many actions within the marine world that effect the fishing in the UK. For me the most important one is that the Bass will move inshore now. I [...]

Is there any Mackerel on Chesil yet? That is the favourite question on everyones lips at the moment, and the answer is yes. Admittedly not as many as there was at this time last year, but with water temperatures down by well over a degree we can’t expect too much. They are certainly in large enough numbers to make it worth [...]

How to rig and hook a Sandeel

By Sean McSeveny On May 4, 2013 · 4 Comments · In Bait, Tips
Sandeel’s are the mainstay diet for many UK fish species including Bass, Cod, Whiting, Turbot and Rays to name but a few. Bass and Rays are particularly fond of them. Without a doubt live Sandeels are an exceptional bait, and could arguably be classed as the best live bait you can use. However obtaining, keeping, presenting and [...]

I was going to start today with a tutorial on how to rig Sandeels, but unfortunately the video I made is having a few problems being processed on Youtube. I should have it up later this morning all being well. I had a lovely day yesterday fishing down at West Bexington with a couple of great anglers. [...]

Wow, the fishing really has come alive over the past week, with fish starting to show all over the coast. The flat fish seem to have moved in on Chesil, with plenty of Plaice, Rays and lots of Dabs from Abbotsbury and marks to the West. Mackerel are about in numbers worth targeting now and [...]
