Pesky Dogfish or a delicious treat

By Sean McSeveny On December 22, 2015 · 8 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I am not sure if everyone was out Christmas shopping at the weekend, or very few could be bothered to face the elements, but it was a quiet one for fishing all over the South Coast. Having said that the Bristol Channel has produced some decent Cod and plenty of Thornback Rays. Plymouth has been [...]

What a week

By Sean McSeveny On December 18, 2015 · 2 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I would love to be able to say that the tittle reflected the fishing this week, but unfortunately that was not the case, or at least not for me. I was unable to get out as much as I would have liked this week. Chesil remained rough but fishable for most of the week. I [...]

Flounder and flying gaff’s

By Leo Toms On December 18, 2015 · 9 Comments · In Poole Harbour, Reports
  It’s a double edged sword living so close to Poole Harbour. One the one hand it’s a nightmare when your at work and the weather is glorious and you know there is fantastic fishing waiting to be had. On the other I can look out of the  back door glance at the weather and in [...]

It’s all about the Bass. The reality of a 6 month ban

By Sean McSeveny On December 17, 2015 · 35 Comments · In Reports
If there is one subject that has created more interest in sea angling this past year, it has been the changes in the laws regarding Bass fishing. The European Parliament and the Council on the common fisheries policy, met on Monday and Tuesday this week to consider a number of proposals on the conservation of [...]

Deviltail Eels and Shads development

By Allan Yates On December 17, 2015 · 1 Comment · In Boat Fishing, Lure, Reports
The Deviltail lures are a hybrid design created from a number of previous designs tried and tested over 2014 /2015. The original Deviltail started life as a worm pattern to work in conjunction with a variety of jigheads and hook sizes and jolly effective it was too taking Bass, Cod and Pollock so the concept [...]

Avet SX 5.3 MC Reel review

By Sean McSeveny On December 16, 2015 · 3 Comments · In Reels, Reviews
I have long admired Avet reels whenever I have seen them whilst boat fishing, but it is only recently that I realised they made casting reels as well. I was looking for a replacement reel for my Penn 525 that I lost earlier this year. I was torn between another Penn and an Akios 656. [...]

My Passion for Angling

By Sam Wadman On December 15, 2015 · Add Comment · In Fishing Abroad, Reports
     ‘A dawn scene on the West coast of India’ When Sean first asked me if I’d like to write some stuff for this site I was pretty chuffed. I’ve always enjoyed writing about my fishing as it happens, so I’m grateful for being given this platform from which to share my passion with you. I’m just a regular [...]

Chesil in December

By Sean McSeveny On December 14, 2015 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I did say on Friday that it would either be a Cod fest or it would be rubbish. Unfortunately it ended up being the latter. There was a lot of anglers on Chesil all weekend and not many of them connected with the Cod. It seems Chesil has returned to it’s normal December fishing, with [...]

Is this the return of the Cod?

By Sean McSeveny On December 11, 2015 · 3 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The Cod season so far this year has not been as good as last year, but to be honest that was to be expected. There was no great number of 1 year old Cod last winter, so the fish that are around this year are the same fish we were seeing last year. If you [...]

Fly fishing, Perch and Eternal Youth

By David West Beale On December 9, 2015 · Add Comment · In Freshwater Fishing
Richard Walker described the perch as “the biggest fish of all” and I think this captures beautifully its mystery and intrigue. We are so accustomed to those tiny easy-to-catch ones that when we are lucky enough to meet with a whopper its’ sheer scale seems jaw droppingly improbable by comparison – almost like perch on [...]

You never know when that big Bass will turn up

By Paul Bassman Gordon On December 7, 2015 · 7 Comments · In Plymouth, Reports
In my first article for Fishing Tails I want to tell you a bit about me and recall the tale of my personal best Bass, a fish that I caught recently. If you don’t know me my name is Paul Gordon and I fish around Plymouth. I am a Bass fanatic. Over the past couple of [...]

Thank goodness that Chesil is not the only place to fish

By Sean McSeveny On December 7, 2015 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Let’s be honest it has been a pretty miserable weekend around the coast. Chesil was unfishable for most of it, with the exception of a few hours yesterday. My mate Paul Black decided that he was going to go out and see if he could repeat his double figure Cod that he had caught in [...]

Disgusting behaviour

By Sean McSeveny On December 4, 2015 · 20 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The humble Dogfish is no great sporting fish and can often be a nuisance when you are trying to target some of the more prized species, but there are days when a single Dogfish is more than welcome to help avoid a blank. That is why I am sickened by the reports I have read this [...]

Does Size Matter?

This is my first article for Fishing Tails, so I had better introduce myself. My name is Jo, I am a fly tyer and fisherwoman/wangler whatever the term is! This year I took part in a TV fishing competition called Earths Widest Waters : The Big Fish which took me fishing all over the world, [...]

By Leo Toms On December 1, 2015 · Add Comment · In Poole Harbour, Reports
With all of the most popular marks near on impossible to fish in this ridiculous rough weather.  The question begs, where can you fish safely and comfortably and stand a good chance of catching something. Poole Harbour is one such place you can do this. After digging some worms on Friday, I had great plans [...]
