Cod special fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth. 6th October 2012

By Sean McSeveny On October 6, 2012 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
What a day it was yesterday. I was up and ready to go to work on the river at 7 o’clock when I got a call to say that due to the high water levels it was too dangerous to work. So where to go fishing was my first thought. I had it in mind [...]

Sorry everyone for the lack of updates but I have been so busy I have almost not even had time to go fishing. I say almost, as I did get out on Sunday with my friend Paul for a quick Mullet session down the harbour. As anyone that has fished for Mullet will know, they [...]

Lets make the most of this weather, as the winds are forecast to pick up a bit tomorrow and then really pick up midweek. The tides are fairly small for the next couple of days this means that the period in which some species such as Plaice feed is limited to when the tide flow [...]

The beach has been on fire over the weekend. Plaice, Bream, Sole, Smoothound, Gurnard and Bass to name but a few of the species that were landed and that is even before I have heard about any of the Weymouth and Portland shore fishing festival results. The next few days should be great for more [...]

Lovely day today and it is forecast for much the same for the next few days. I am afraid if you are looking to go Mackerel fishing on Chesil today you are going to struggle. The water is still pretty silted and needs a few more hours to settle down. It should be ok by [...]

It is certainly blowing a bit this morning and as the video below shows, Chesil Beach is a no go. However by late this afternoon the wind will have fallen off a lot and the sea conditions will improve to make the beach fishable by this evening. Tonight and tomorrow morning should be good for [...]

The wind has switched to the East and picked up quite a bit. This could make for some really good fishing on the Easterly facing beaches such as Preston. There is only one bait worth going for and that is Peeler Crab. Getting to the Preston Beach will be a bit of a pain, because [...]

The wind is dropping and the sea is calming down. This will put Chesil back into contention even for the anglers that struggle to cast. This might prompt people to actually get on the beach and fish. I can honestly say I have never seen Chesil Beach so empty for such a prolonged period. I [...]

Windy conditions again just like yesterday. This is certainly making fishing conditions on Chesil a little challenging. Looking at the wind forecast it is likely to stay the same tomorrow, but it should calm down to a reasonable wind on Sunday. The beach conditions certainly suite Bass fishing.

The wind is picking up this afternoon and gusting to almost 30mph. It is a good opportunity to have a go for a Bass on Chesil Beach. Use a large bait such as a Mackerel head very close in and wait to see if a big Bass comes along. More big summer Bass are caught [...]

Not much change today, so I wont really be updating the forecast much from yesterday. I have noticed that people seem to be staying away from fishing the Portland end of Chesil and Portland Harbour. I am sure this is due to the concern that the area is closed down for the Olympics. So far [...]
