Fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth. 29th June 2012

By Sean McSeveny On June 29, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
You know it is a Friday when the wind gets up and makes fishing Chesil almost impossible for the whole day. This is the 3rd Friday in a row that this has happened. Still it gives the water a good churning up and creates a good environment for Bass. Wind forecast SW 25mph gusting 35mph [...]

I apologise for yesterdays forecast being such a mess. I was locked out of the server whilst I was doing the update and could make no further changes until this morning.

This seems to be a weekend ritual now as we have had almost the same conditions for the past 3 weeks on a Friday. Strong SW winds will basically make Chesil almost unfishable today, but they will drop down tomorrow, which should make for some great Bass fishing again. We have had huge shoals of [...]

It is going to be a wild one today with high SW winds gusting to almost 50mph.This will basically make Chesil unfishable. On a positive note it should break up the May water that has been killing the fishing recently.

Despite the weather not being fantastic for the past couple of days the sea tempreture has risen considerably in the past week, with a full 1 degree C rise.
