Bass get some protection – at last!

By Adrian Crawford On January 28, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Reports
After many years of campaigning by the likes of B.A.S.S and the Angling Trust the EC have finally recognised the folly of allowing commercial trawling during the spawning season! In an unprecedented move they have banned palegic trawling with immediate effect in the North, Irish and Celtic Seas as well as the Channel Islands. “The European Commission has announced measures [...]

Pollock a plenty!

By Sean McSeveny On January 26, 2015 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Plenty of Pollock being caught from the shore including the open beaches. Chesil fished pretty much as I expected it would this past weekend, with a few Codling, plenty of Whiting, Pout, Dogfish and a few Conger. I did hear of a nice double figure Thornback Ray come from Ferrybridge. The main surprise though, is the [...]

By Leo Toms On January 26, 2015 · 1 Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
As I mentioned on Friday,  I couldn’t make it to the beach this weekend. But did manage to walk the dog around Baiter on Saturday morning. I met a couple of guys fishing and they had a couple of small flounder between them and confirmed that they are still about. Word is, some still are [...]

Poole harbour not done yet!!!

By Leo Toms On January 23, 2015 · Add Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
To my astonishment Poole harbour still continues to produce quality fish. A club match in the week at baiter saw flounders caught up to 2lb! The numbers were slightly down. Not the 70 plus fish that were caught last month and the month before. But still a few to keep the interest. What was more [...]

There is only one story that everyone is talking about this week and it is the monster Conger that was landed from the Ferrybridge area of Chesil. It was caught by Steve Fedrick who landed it on a 4/0 Pennel rig baited with Mackerel and Prawn. The fish took almost half an hour to land and [...]

Final Flounder trip of this season (maybe)

By Leo Toms On January 20, 2015 · Add Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
A very cold Saturday evening saw me and Martin fishing the sandbanks section of poole harbour. This was meant to be our last flounder session of the year but what I experienced made me think twice!! I would have expected the flounder to have started to move offshore to spawn by now. But there were still [...]

This is why I love fishing so much.

By Sean McSeveny On January 19, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The past few days have been perfect examples of why I love fishing so much. On Friday I managed  to land my 300th Codling of the winter season. Then yesterday, I was out on the boat and managed to land an 8lb Bass on a lure on the second drift. I am sure I would [...]

The Flounder are still in Poole.

By Leo Toms On January 12, 2015 · 1 Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
Those that braved the elements in the harbour this weekend were rewarded with some fairly good catches. But it has to be said the harbour fishing is all but drawing to a close! As the last of the flounders move off to spawn.( any ideas where)??? It will be a case of scratching around the [...]

By Sean McSeveny On January 12, 2015 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I don’t know about you but I am getting pretty fed up with these continual gale force winds. It provides a lovely stirred up sea on the SW facing beach es like Chesil, but it just never seems to settle down for more than a few hours, before it is blowing another gale. I know [...]
