Fishing forecast for Chesil Beach, Portlnd & Weymouth. 11th August 2012

By Sean McSeveny On August 11, 2012 · Add Comment · In Reports
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 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 [...]

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 [...]

The wind picked up a lot yesterday afternoon, which stirred up Chesil quite a bit. It is still looking quite lumpy, but with moderate winds it should fish very well for Bass. The salinity levels have proved to be a problem this week. The fresh water has pushed the Bream off the beach as well [...]

You can hardly believe that it is July. Water temperatures are pretty much what they should be for the time of year, with a 1 deg jump last week.
