Fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth. 8th September 2012

By Sean McSeveny On September 8, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Reports
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 [...]

Fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth. 3rd September 2012

By Sean McSeveny On September 3, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Reports
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 [...]

Here is hoping that the fishing today was as good as it was yesterday. We are on medium sized tides now, which are my favourite ones. I was asked recently to recommend the best rig for fishing West Bexington. Basically I use two types of rig. A single long flowing trace that I use clipped, [...]

Plenty of decent fish caught over the weekend. One of my friends had a great session at Abbotsbury with several Bass up to 6lb and some large Smoothounds. Peeler Crab was the most successful bait for him, but he did get the largest Bass on a Mackerel head. Water Temperature: 16.3*c             Weymouth High Tide: 10.32pm, [...]

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 [...]

A little bit windier today than it has been for the past couple of days. Even though it is out of the East, it will put a little bit of a ripple on the water, which hopefully will improve the catch rate. The very calm conditions and gin clear water over the past few days [...]

It looks like we are going to be having a period of settled fairly calm weather. This combined with fairly large tides this weekend should make for excellent summer fishing. The Bream are now showing in reasonable numbers and there are a lot of Smoothound all along the beach. Smoothound are one of my favourite [...]

With the wind much more settled now I can see some decent catches coming from Chesil over the next few days. Big tides should help with the Bream, but it is not such good news for the Plaice and Dab fishing towards Cogden.

The tides are pretty small today, which means that your chances of picking up Plaice, Dabs and Sole are going to be increased as these fish travel around looking for food, rather than just sit there and wait for it to come to them. However it is not so good for species such as Smoothound, [...]
