Well another good read Mr Fish conjured up images of Wallace & gromit “the wrong trousers film“. At the start. At least you caught. Know where you are coming from on the health side of things it’s hard going. Hope spring arrives early for you there’s only one problem though. You know what the...

Yes likewise but no luck. PS keep your reports coming they will help get me through my month off.

Yes as the waves break close to the shore they crash down and deposit shingle on top of your line unless you can keep rod tip high & cast far enough to pass over the breakers., have also heard it referred to as line dump. Picked up a great tip on here a few years ago, possibly from chesil Pete...

West bexington 24/1/24 Have been watching the weather this week looking for a gap in the winds & managed to get out Wednesday afternoon/evening, A mild day, cloudy & a building tide. Sea coloured & still rough, biggish breakers perfect conditions I thought,but the fish didn’t. Frozen baits...

Oops that will take some beating, I quite often pull over on the way to double check I have everything thing but recall dragging my gear what felt like half way across chesil, setting the rods up only to find I had left the Rod stand in the car. Plus the time I left my rags in the car happened...

Cheers thanks for the info. Need to get more organized with right bait, right tide state, right venue this year, when I can get out. Always good to be out but even better if you are catching!

Cheers thanks

Cheers thank you, certainly was well chuffed with that one

Cheers thank you that one’s gonna be tough to beat.

Cheers thank you

2023 yearly Report So first post in a long time as often not much to report & got lazy with my write ups. Anyway I’m still out there and here’s how it went, think I already posted the first few apologies if you’ve already read & responded to them. Chesil 21/1/23 One of the best yet! A...

Hi gave seaton a try myself last Friday morning from 2.30am to 7.30am (low tide 5.30am) not even a bite on fish or squid. Worms were chewed up but nothing on there. It was not a big tide and I am not a big caster. May be better this week perhaps over high?

Nice going!

Know what you mean, was down there myself yesterday from 2pm till 3am didn’t even get a bite till low around 2am & only managed 1 dogfish on one of many last casts .boy was I glad to see him sliding up the shingle certainly is hard going at the moment

Know what you mean mate, fished there Thursday night 6 till 3. Half a dozen dogs usually a couple just after dark, a couple at high then a couple at low don’t seem to be doing anything different than last year but catching less. Chuck in the may rot? jamming up the leader rot every cast it’s...

Yeah Here’s one

Seaton Devon 27/3/23 Managed to get out Monday night last minute during a predicted lull in the weather, as is often the case it was blowing a hooley. Frozen squid & sardines for bait on pulley rigs. A few bites as it got dark then again around high tide at 11pm accounted for half a...

Thanks for the reply. That covers it all, can start looking out for some of the bits now. Cheers.

Just out of interest To those of you using braid. Do you think it matters what colour braid you use for spinning & also do you use a fluro leader to camouflage the last length of line to the lure and prevent wear? If so how long a leader is required and can this affect casting causing wind...
