A wild weekend

By Sean McSeveny On November 30, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
It was a wild weekend for weather and there is no indication that it will change at all this week. South Westerly winds gusting in excess of 50mph battered the South coast making many of our favourite marks unfishable. However this did not deter those in need of a fishy fix, myself included, as we [...]

Whiting Galore

By Sean McSeveny On November 27, 2015 · 7 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The Cod may be gone from Chesil but the Whiting are certainly not. I don’t remember seeing so many Whiting on Chesil. Yesterday I fished with Fishing Tails photographer Gavin, at Cogden. I didn’t make it down until mid afternoon, but Gavin had been there since 10am. He called me as I was on the [...]

Rapture Delsol 802ML lure rod review

By Sean McSeveny On November 26, 2015 · 5 Comments · In Reviews, Rods
The Rapture Delsol is often seen advertised as a specialist soft plastic lure rod, designed for medium sized fish such as Trout, Perch and Wrasse. It is through the later species that I came across the Delsol. I invited Bill Morris, who runs Outdoor Life, the UK distributor for Italian tackle giant Trabucco, down to [...]

A very small but welcome flounder

By Leo Toms On November 24, 2015 · 4 Comments · In Bait, Poole Harbour, Reports, Tips
For years now I have been looking to get the best out of my fishing catching the odd big fish obviously helps but I grew tired of skull dragging a 3oz pout in with 6oz of weight with a 13ft beachcaster, that’s just no fun! So to have more sport I wanted to scale down some [...]

A very disappointing weekend for most

By Sean McSeveny On November 23, 2015 · 7 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
With hundreds of anglers fishing Chesil and conditions being almost perfect you would think that we would have seen loads of Cod caught. Unfortunately that was not the case. A few Cod were caught on Friday and Saturday night, but for most anglers it was the usual Pout, Dogfish and Whiting. There was no lack [...]

Better order your bait, it is going to get busy

By Sean McSeveny On November 20, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Conditions are near perfect this morning on Chesil. There is still a strong surf running with waves and swell of almost 2m, so take care but the wind has dropped and switched to the North West. The water is coloured and the Cod are there. I went down at dusk yesterday for half an hour [...]

The Art of Squid Fishing (Eging)

By Sean McSeveny On November 19, 2015 · 6 Comments · In Lure, Tips
What is Eging? Basically its fishing for squid with special jigs made to look like prawns or in Japanese “egi”. In its most simple form it’s jigging for squid  with a selection of different lures but like most things if you are prepared to dig a bit deeper into the subtleties of the technique the rewards [...]

More bad weather

By Sean McSeveny On November 16, 2015 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
This strong South Westerly will continue to blow until Friday, which will make Chesil unfishable or most of the week. There is a chance that there will be a slight drop in wind this morning and the sea state will die down enough for me to get out and try for a couple of hours this [...]

Good news or Bad?

By Sean McSeveny On November 13, 2015 · 10 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Lets start with the good news! The weather did break for a short period yesterday morning and a few lucky anglers managed to get on the beach at just the right time. I did manage to fish at Abbotsbury, but I could not get through the huge packs of Whiting and Dogfish. Pennel rigs were [...]

Lumi Lures with boat angler Allan Yates

By Allan Yates On November 11, 2015 · Add Comment · In Boat Fishing, Lure, Reports
I make lures to catch fish Not To Catch Anglers !! that comment so winds me up for the simple reason anglers aren’t dummies but fortunately many will try something new if it puts fish in the box. Now I have that off my chest I can discuss why I’ve spent time developing illuminated lures. [...]

Southbourne Surprise

By Leo Toms On November 10, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Poole Harbour, Reports
After watching and waiting all the previous week for the weather to worsen it never happened . So last Saturday saw me with 200 prime lug and frozen cuttlefish and less than perfect conditions forecast for cod fishing. Coupled with that my usual fishing buddy Martin couldn’t make it due to work commitments; so again [...]

Tough Going

By Sean McSeveny On November 9, 2015 · 4 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
With the arrival of a good South Westerly blow, that everyone has been waiting for, it was all about the Cod over the weekend. However as has been so typical recently the weather didn’t really play ball, which made fishing conditions tough to say the least. It really was about location, timing and perseverance, especially on [...]

The Cod are back

By Sean McSeveny On November 6, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I know that we have been catching Cod for a number of weeks now, but most of the time it has been after a decent blow. This week it has been different. It would seem that the Cod have come in as part of their normal winter feeding pattern. Despite far from ideal conditions there [...]

What are the best sea fishing websites in the UK

By Sean McSeveny On November 2, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
According to Fishtec, Fishing Tails is one of the best sea fishing blogs in the country. We appreciate the thumbs up for our hard work and hope to get even better over the next year. There was good Cod fishing on Chesil as predicted. Chris Buxton fished just after the blow on Friday and was rewarded with [...]
