I see you're on here as well Chris, Nice Huss . Not many people have had a 15 pounder.

I use Berkley big game 80 lbs , 0.75 .

We won't be going this April so 3 years in a row without a trip to Norway, I'm missing the Cod and a 3 pounder from Chesil just isn't the same .

Not a boat, He needs a flight to Norway .

Hi Tat, My target this year is 10 double figure Rays from Chesil, I managed 5 last year and missed 4 months fishing due to 2 hernias caused by lugging too much gear along Chesil.

Shore Conger 42 lb 2 oz From a beach in Alderney in 1996. Ive also had one of 39lb from the same beach .

I had one of 10-7 in broad daylight at Chesil fishing for Cod, No fight what so ever , Nothing unusual there but I actually thought it was a Dogfish until I saw it

Baits R Us were good the 6 times I used them.

Only one Undulate and 5 Thornbacks, Most from just past the Bridging camp but did get one from the log bench area where I fished next to you. Fresh Mackerel the best bait but very few and far between this year.

Cheers Tat, I've a few decent Rays recently but old age has caught up with me and its back to the hospital for another Hernia Op. I had one in 2011 so I'm no stranger to this. The only difference is I'm paying for this one instead of waiting forever to get it done on the NHS.

I'm out of the game completely, I've given my self another hernia carrying half a ton of gear along the Chesil shingle, The Rays are safe from me for the next 4 months at least.

I take a basic kit, Paracetamal, Imodium and Rennie tablets plus a few plasters and a roll of tape .

That's not good but they were never going to do you for speeding on a moped, I hope the fine wasn't too much.

It does very little for me, Mud , Strong tides and short fishing sessions put me off the place too, Id rather go to Chesil but that's not happening as I use public transport to get there .
