The Art of Squid Fishing (Eging)

By Sean McSeveny On November 19, 2015 · 6 Comments · In Lure, Tips
What is Eging? Basically its fishing for squid with special jigs made to look like prawns or in Japanese “egi”. In its most simple form it’s jigging for squid  with a selection of different lures but like most things if you are prepared to dig a bit deeper into the subtleties of the technique the rewards [...]

A short break in the weather

By Sean McSeveny On December 28, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Finally it looks like we have a couple of days break from the SW storms that have been lashing the South Coast for the past two weeks. According to the channel buoys, Christmas Eve had the biggest seas in years with waves of 6.7m constantly, with some being over 10m. The largest recording for the [...]

Perfect conditions for fishing on Christmas day

By Sean McSeveny On December 22, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
It is so typical that many of you will have a few days off over the next week, and fishing conditions are terrible. The exception being Christmas day and Boxing day, with Christmas day being the better of the two. It looks like the Cod will be pretty safe then, as I don’t no many [...]

Grab a session when you can

By Sean McSeveny On December 19, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Looking at the wind forecast for the next week, it really will be a case of grabbing the few windows of opportunity as they come up.  lot of the days will be unfishable, but on a couple of days it should drop enough to fish in a fairly rough sea, where there will be a [...]

Will I be able to fish Chesil beach today?

By Sean McSeveny On December 16, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
There will be no fishing Chesil this morning, but I am gambling on it being almost perfect this afternoon. I checked the wind forecast just about every hour yesterday, to see if there would be any movement in the time when the wind was predicted to drop. Hopefully it will drop before midday, then turn [...]

Only three fishing weekends left this year.

By Sean McSeveny On December 13, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Plaice and Mackerel in December, who would have thought it? For many they would be a nice bonus, to go along with a couple of 8lb Cod, but that seems less than likely to happen. This has to be one of the strangest years I have known for fish patterns. Everything has been late by [...]

Technology overload

By Sean McSeveny On December 11, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
The past few days have not been spent fishing, instead I spent a lot of time trying to sort out a Google Hangout on air, so that we could do our first live broadcast. It was supposed to include our Tech Guru Adrian. Unfortunately for multiple reasons I was not able to bring him in, [...]

A quiet week on the beach. Not for the Fishing Tails team!

By Sean McSeveny On December 9, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
I was amazed by the lack of anglers on Chesil this weekend. Every time I drove past the beach was almost empty. I don’t know if you were all doing your Christmas shopping, or had just heard that the fishing was poor. I talked with the guys in the tackle shop and they told me [...]

A funny old mix!

By Sean McSeveny On December 3, 2013 · Add Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Whiting and Plaice seem to be dominating the catches from Chesil, with very few Cod coming in. There are also loads of Joey Mackerel being caught, but unusually there are no Bass with them. I know it is a bit late for Bass as the water temperature has dropped to 10.3 degrees, but they should [...]

Is Chesil the right PLAICE for Cod this weekend

By Sean McSeveny On November 29, 2013 · 1 Comment · In Chesil Beach, Reports
Cod fishing is what is on most peoples mind at this time of year, and I know the post title is a bit of a play on words but there are more Plaice being caught at the moment than Cod. You can’t argue that is has been a strange year for fishing. Everything has been [...]

Fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portland & Weymouth. 6th November 2012

By Sean McSeveny On November 6, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
Small tides, calmer conditions and clearer water will call for different tactics today. It is also likely that the Cod will not make an appearance today. However having seen the amount of bait fish that was around yesterday I would expect to see quite a few Bass that should be fairly easy to tempt to [...]
