By Sean McSeveny On February 26, 2016 · 9 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The Mackerel are here already. You might find it hard to believe but they have arrived. I know that there had been one caught last weekend at Preston beach in one of the matches, but I dismissed that as a straggler. However yesterday, I was walking my dogs on the cliffs on Portland and I [...]

By Leo Toms On February 17, 2016 · 5 Comments · In Poole Harbour, Reports
Usually around this time of year I would be reporting on how good the flounder fishing had been this year and that it is pretty much done and dusted. Fortunately that’s not the case this year. Good catches of flounders are still being had from all the popular marks around the harbour. Holes bay a mark well [...]

Are things looking up?

By Sean McSeveny On February 12, 2016 · 5 Comments · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Fishing in February in Dorset, from the shore is normally slow to say the least. I often don’t even bother to go for most of the month, but this year it might not be as glum as usual. I woke up this morning to find several messages and emails, letting me know of catches on [...]

Storm Imogen is currently battering the South coast at the moment and will continue to do so for the rest of the day. I had a look down at Chesil earlier this morning and managed to get a soaking in my efforts to get a picture. The waves and wind were so fierce that the [...]

The Rockling have arrived

By Sean McSeveny On February 1, 2016 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
As the title to this article suggests, the Rockling have finally showed up on Chesil. They are about a month late, but given the unseasonably high water temperature that is not surprising. The bad news is once the Rockling are here you know that pretty much everything else has left Chesil. I for one wont [...]
