from hook to plate

By Irene Hodgson On July 8, 2016 · 2 Comments · In Kayak Fishing, Marks, Recipies, Tyne & Wear
Since being little I have had a love of smoked fish, mainly Haddock and Cod. Mam used to poach it in milk, and we would have it with loads of bread to dip in the juice. So since we have a regular supply of prime North Sea Cod, I still found myself having to buy [...]

So here’s my Norwegian tale, hope you enjoy. Ok here we go… After good flights [...]

Undulate Ray Revival

By Sean McSeveny On November 26, 2014 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Fishing for Undulate Rays over the past two years has been really good, both from the shore and the boat. This has to be put down to the fact that Undulate Rays are on the Red list of protected species, and have been for a number of years. Undulates and a number of other rays are not allowed to be landed commercially

Enjoy the weekend, it could be a Cod one.

By Sean McSeveny On November 21, 2014 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Yes Chesil will be fishable this weekend. I know I am a bit late with the forecast this morning, but I had a late night last night editing some new fishing videos, but I have managed to get out and about this morning and have a look around. It is not exactly going to be [...]

Timing is everything

By Sean McSeveny On November 17, 2014 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Cod fishing over the past week has confirmed  some thoughts I have been having for while and that is, that timing is critical to getting good results when fishing. I was lucky enough to get out as soon as the conditions had settled enough to allow safe fishing on Friday. I had fish after only [...]

Well done to Dave lane for winning the Chesil Cod Open at Abbotsbury yesterday. He managed to land 17 Cod for a total weight of 28lb 10oz, he even managed a treble shot of Cod at one point.  I managed to get out twice over the weekend. I was quite excited that I managed to [...]

Waiting for the storm to pass.

By Sean McSeveny On November 7, 2014 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Fishing after a storm is normally one of the most productive times, especially during the autumn and winter months. I am desperate to get out and fish Chesil, as I have only been out a couple of times this week. Looking at the wind forecast, I think that Chesil will remain unfishable until late tomorrow [...]

Feels like Cod time again.

By Sean McSeveny On November 4, 2014 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The next day or so should be ideal conditions for Cod on Chesil again. After a windy weekend, it looks like the wind will back off for a few days, before it comes back with a vengeance on Thursday afternoon. The water is pretty well stirred up at the moment, but as the wind drops [...]

Catch them while you still can.

By Sean McSeveny On November 1, 2014 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I mentioned earlier in the week, that it would be a good idea to take advantage of the summer fish that are still around. I took some of my own advice and spent a few days trying to target Bream, Bass and Garfish. I certainly managed to catch plenty of Garfish and a few Bream. [...]

Make the most of Autumn fishing

By Sean McSeveny On October 28, 2014 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Over the past couple of weeks many anglers have become consumed with Cod fever. It is understandable, given that the Codling are around in decent numbers and we have had some good conditions that suit them. However don’t forget the this month is one of the best in the fishing calendar, which means you could [...]

Is it going to be a Cod fest today?

By Sean McSeveny On October 22, 2014 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Conditions for Cod fishing could be almost perfect today. I have been waiting almost two weeks for the conditions to be similar to my last Cod session where I managed to land 32 Codling. These were the conditions yesterday morning. Conditions today are a lot different as Chesil Beach is now just fishable with extreme [...]

Fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth. 11th October 2012

By Sean McSeveny On October 11, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
It feels like the colour is never going to drop from Chesil. I fished it yesterday near Ferrybridge. It was pretty calm because of the Easterly wind, but there was a 2m swell. The water is still a light brown making it useless for lure fishing. I could see a lot of baitfish activity very [...]

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 [...]

A fantastic day to be out and about fishing, and that is exactly what I will be doing this afternoon. There have been some good reports of quite a few Bass being caught on lures and that is what I will be targeting. I just received a delivery of half a dozen Seaspin lures. They [...]

By Sean McSeveny On April 28, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
It is a bit damp out there today, but that should not dampen your expectations. A nice mid size tide and some colour in the water should bring in some nice Smoothound and Rays. Wind forecast NE 35mph, Current wind is NE 10mph increasing steadily through out the day and peaking at midnight. Weymouth high [...]

Mussels, the wonder bait!

By Sean McSeveny On April 19, 2012 · 3 Comments · In Bait, Tips
Perhaps not the wonder bait, but certainly one of the most over looked and under used cheap bait sources that we have. Mussels are a good alternative to peeler crab and a lot cheaper. In this article I am going to show you how to prepare and use them. Mussels are available from Cornwall to [...]
